Statistically, most smart people have a degree. Of course, it doesn't mean only people with a degree are smart. But statistically, it works. It should also be noted that the current situation is different as more people are educated. Someone who would have been a self made man in the 60s would likely be a graduate nowadays. https://www.statista.com/statistics/184260/educational-attainment-in-the-us/

Sure. However, the two first names in your list have studied in Harvard and the only reason they did not get a degree is that they already started their business and were to busy to go on studying.

He was merciless attacked because he was talking B.S. all the time. Do you mean the MSM should have praised Trump for promising Mexico would fund his border wall? Trump could not stand media systematically debunking his lies. He already started to claim elections were rigged before the 2016 elections as he initially expected to lose! 😀 Trump is the main culprit for his bad réputation.

Not relevant for you but absolutely relevant for economists. The US inflation level has always been correlated to other developed countries' inflation level.

So you've been caught lying again? 😀

Much higher gdp growth than G7 countries compared to pre-pandemic level higher growth than othercdevelopped countries ( you posted the li k yourself). Inflation now lower than the average of advanced economies.

They never said there had been massive fraud and that Hillary actually won the election like the sore loser did. Actually, it's Trump who claimed the 2016 elections have been rigged because he could not stand Hillary getting more voices than him! 😉 Those false equivalences are getting boring.

B.S. Both had no right to keep classified documents after the end of their mandate. However Biden gave them back without being asked to give them back. Trump refused, lied, and conspired to obstruct the recovery of the documents.

Trump was not denied presidency. Just like people claiming that Biden is incompetent are not denying his presidency. Critics are part of the democratic debate. The MSM, were perfectly in their democratic role by keeping in check all the lies and B.S. told by Trump. Trump did what he did and said what he said.

So invading Ukraine and slaughtering civilians would be justified by the war in Iraq. It's completely incoherent! 😀 Ukraine is not responsible for the war in Iraq just like Iraq was not responsible for the 11 September attack.

Nobody was demonised, they were just excluded from certain activities, such as travelling. A pale consequence compared to being dead! 😀

No. I'm not referring to Russian propaganda.

Creative post! About Rachel Maddow, what she said was not accurate but it did not have negative consequences. Unlike Fox News and right-wing outlets anti-vaccine rant which caused an excessive amount of deaths among Trump voters.

Whatever the Jan.6 protesters' motivation, they did it! And the BLM protests did not aim at blocking or overturning the certification of elections, including local elections.

Lame deflection

More precisely in an attempt to block an official process of certification by the congress. Which they actually succeeded to do for a few hours.

Lol! Using imaginary situations as arguments! An interesting coincidence: while they were assaulting the Capitol, instead of asking them to stop it, Trump was calling congressmen to persuade them to block the certification.

It's because they have no other arguments tha this false equivalence.

Lol! Your imaginary irregularities have been debunked by recounts and audits, including by GOP partisan audits. You have nothing.

Who's ignorant of facts and is buying Putin's propaganda,? There are no NATO nukes at Russia's doorstep except Turkey and it dates from the cold War time (and is not really at doorstep). Russia did not respect the Minsk treaties, as another poster showed.

Debate is certainly absent in Russia because all media are censored and muzzled. Apart from state propaganda outlets such as RT, no one is forbidden to debate about it in Western countries. A few leaders, such as Macron have tried the diplomacy card with Russia. How did it work?

Ok, he is authorised to declassify only what he has classified, unless given a specific authorisation. What's the point in relation to the post I replied to?

Why see it? We already know Putin's propaganda from previous speeches (the denazification B.S., the U.S. is responsible for the war, etc..). On top of it, Russian propaganda has also been diffused to right-wing outlets, and this forum has been saturated by MAGA posts parroting this propaganda.

Putin is certainly not laughing at Biden since he decided to help Ukraine and gather other NATO members. Putin is certainly laughing because his pal Trump and MAGAs are de facto helping him. He was at least partially right when he assessed, after the Jan.6 riot, that the U.S. was politically too divided to oppose him, and therefore decided to invade Ukraine.

Not tired of posting the same debunked B.S. over and over? Biden was allowed to classify documents as VP. "Sec. 1.3. Classification Authority. (a) The authority to classify information originally may be exercised only by: (1) the President and the Vice President;" https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-classified-national-security-information And Trump (and Biden) had no right to keep them after the end of their mandate
