Collective decline in intelligence?

I do not believe that the thin end of the bell curve suddenly got thicker. What I believe happened is that stupid found its poster boy. It used to be that dolts were too ashamed to speak out. Mr. Inject Bleach himself gave those people a new boldness and sense of mission. There aren’t more of them than before, it’s only that they lost their sense of shame to speak out.

The entire bell curve shifted towards the lower numbers. Blame whatever culprit you like: poor education, dumb leaders, screened distractions, the disappearance of time for deep self-reflective thought.... all of us seem to be getting dumber. If you're a news program and you book someone who implies that meat is a component of beer, the smart thing to do is not book that guy ever again. But Larry Kudlow spews plant-based garbage and gets his own TV show.

Which sinister global organisation is this now, fundamentalist Christianity perhaps? Maybe huge multinational corporations that are raping our national coffers and avoiding taxation?
Cmon spill the beans who are these enemies of the sovereign state.

Yes, correct: huge multinational corporations are a major problem.

They are also largely in control of how policy everywhere is dictated; through their control of Western politicians, they also control the UN, and many third world states that will do things like sign onto the Iraq war in the "Coalition of the Willing" to get funds.

People generally believe and espouse that which *makes them happy*, not that which is truth.
Hence, fake news generators simply make up a story that pleases their people (target audience) and go with it.

Strangely enough [cough], people on each side of the aisle accuse the other side of fake news generation,
not realizing it is a two way street. Liberals ca ...[text shortened]... an answer.

pssssttt.... that's because it was FAKE NEWS all along and dumbass dems *believe* it.

What he actually said was “inject disinfectant”. Just google it.

Please don’t tell me you believe the spin-doctor version the WH put out the day after, that he was being sarcastic.

O is president again, and Rice is VP. They want us to be squirming about small matters , as they do their real work.

What the hell kind of conspiracy BS are you babbling now?

@wildgrass said
Maybe I should clarify. I was referring to the top political advisor to the former president. He either does not know what beer is made of, and is completely making things up as he goes (which is bad), or he actually thinks there's meat in beer (which is bad).

Which is it? Is he stupid or lying?

Eh, it is getting harder to tell. But I'd guess it is some kind of money-driven agenda to fleece even more money from their followers, who really are the stupid ones who buy into the BS.

I'll believe the whole video, if no reliable TEXT link is out there - and I don't think there is because no o ne ever presents one.

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

GONE WILL BE THE DAYS WHEN WE CAN DRINK MEAT BASED BEER!!!! .

Look the poor guy has a tendency to be influenced by hyperbole.

The last time he was in Ireland, the locals probably banged on about how there was a steak in every pint of Guinness. Can Trump be blamed for thinking that beer was meat based?

AOC donated money to help Corporate Democrats .
AOC and the Squad refused to force a vote on Medicare for All and supported Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House .
AOC talks a good game and that is all .
Corporate Democrats are centrist Republicans .
In my opinion , AOC is a faux Progressive .

This person was a former presidential advisor. He was on a news program to discuss a new environmental initiative by the Biden administration. In this position, the goal should be to discuss reality. If he didn't prepare or just doesn't understand what the issues are then he shouldn't be discussing it. Even if its one of those "I don't know if it's true but I heard it" kind of things I think it's extremely irresponsible in the context of political policy debate. State the facts and let the voter decide, and if lying or "hyperbole" is required to make your point then it's a sh** point.

It wasn't Trump, and I don't blame him at all.

Do they think we're sheep? Running around all over the newspapers spouting garbage out their ears? Now they want to confiscate our guns AND our cheeseburgers? even though...

“There is no effort designed to limit people's intake of beef coming out of President Biden's White House or USDA. Sometimes in the political world, games get played and issues are injected into the conversation knowing full well that there's no factual basis."

My guess is Average Joe secretly wanted to be in the insurrection crown on Jan 6.

He is clearly against ANY people of color to have a chance to advance in the US.

He is deathly afraid of the time when Whitey is in the minority.

In other words, he is not worth debating with since he NEVER debates, ONLY puts out his equivalent of a blog.

Just like Trump. Trump is TOTALLY one way, no reply to his so called web site, just a blog where nobody can refute him, call him out about his pathological lies, where he is completely incapable if EVER telling the honest truth.

Just ask him how many real friends he had.

Pretty much zero.

Just ask his lawyers how much he loves them.

Rudy and Michael.

Rudy WHO? I didn't really know him much, he brought in coffee at our meetings but I didn't do much talking to this dude.........

I'm sure that's what Larry Kudlow was referring to. He probably wasn't trying to anger his base or get people worked up about nothing. Just loves those meat beers and thinks Biden's going to raid his pantry. The next day you look up and they're telling us that t-shirts need to be plant based, forcing all those down to earth steak-wearing folk to wear cotton.
