who's smarter than you're? i'm!

    There's been a lot of stupid and juvenile that has come out of Trump, but this episode may be the winner so far.

With more yet to come? I'm a guessing we ain't seen nuthin' yet. After all, its only been nine months.

More like there are plenty of people with high IQs who are not well educated and/or lack "common sense". Likewise, there are plenty of people who are very well educated with middling IQs.

Here's the flip side: about 320,000,000 Americans have a lower IQ. My perception is that Trump and/or his campaign managers were highly aware of this and pandered accordingly. Hillary very well may have gone "high" during the campaign and that was her undoing. Tailoring your message to well-educated and intelligent voters is not a statistically sound approach. BTW I'm not being facetious or trying to troll.

A more scary possibility: maybe he's not a moron. Maybe his approach to governance is a form of political Aikido. It's either that or we're now having to confront one of the downsides of democracy.

Indeed...

The stupid that just keeps giving.

And today after Trump incorrectly accused Corker of being played by the NYTimes by being recorded ( when Corker checked with the reporter to make SURE the interview was being recorded), Sarah Huckerby Sanders actually had the gall when asked about the tweet to say (without irony), "The Senator is allowed to have his opinions but not his facts."

How long before she, like Spicey, is on the talk show circuit laughing it all off as just doing her job and trying to regain a semblance of her credibility?

A more scary possibility: maybe he's not a moron.


No, he's a Moran.

More on the meeting after which reportedly Tillerson called Trump a moron:

https://www.nbcnews.com/...tary-leaders-n809701

According to the report, Trump was shown a graphic of the number of US warheads (peak 32k, current 4k) and he said we should get back to the peak level. So, if true, not technically a tenfold increase, rather an eightfold increase, but pretty close.

And in response to the story above, Trump just tweeted:

"Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!"

and

"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!"

...so now he's threatening the freedom of the press?!

Revocation of a broadcast license is not infringing on freedom of the press.

The internet (and cable tv) are chock full of news outlets that do not have a broadcast license, not to mention an almost infinite amount of printed news.

Uh-huh.

Yup.

Wait, what?

Yes seems like this is going to go on throughout, or worsen. There's the real chance he's slipping into dementia, like Ronnie.

You read that right.

You, I, nbc, the thousands of you tubers, etc do not need a broadcast license to deliver news.

Is there something about that you don’t understand?

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

While by the absolute technical letter of the law, you may (may) be correct, there isn't a court in the country that would uphold a president revoking the broadcast license of a news corporation because he wants them to broadcast different news. It's a ridiculous assertion.

Maybe if you add a couple together, you'd get to around 130 or so?

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

The logical end point of that argument is that so long as (say) NBC has some means to deliver news (eg carrier pigeon, direct mailshots using USPS, something else), there is no infringement of the freedom of the press if every other channel of communication (eg broadcast, internet, radio) are removed from it.

You don’t need a license to deliver news over the internet.

In other words, you don’t need a broadcast license. They are essentially obsolete.

And for the record, I think revoking nbc’s license is a horrible idea and don’t support it in any way.

But to say that it would take away their right to freedom of the press is absurd.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

Exactly: your point is that there are other dissemination channels available so taking one away doesn't matter. But when you take one away, you curtail a freedom, so it does matter.

You keep qualifying your statements like this then your title of Trump's ballwasher may be reduced to JSA ballwasher.

You are not curtailing a freedom by revoking a broadcast license. I don’t have one. Are my first amendment rights being denied?

Does the constitution require the government to issue broadcast licenses to everyone who wants one?

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

I don’t think the government should issuing broadcast licenses at all. And now, in 2017, they obsolete anyway.

---

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

if you don't see anything wrong with the president threatening NBC's broadcasting license then you really are the Ball Washer In Chief.

If you take away their liscence because you dont like what they say, then you are absolutely infringing on their speech. Youre whole argument is changing "infringing" to completely blocking , which is a tad dishonest.
