        What’s the house policy on incompetence?

        Historically speaking, the so-called ‘pro-competence’ crowd have been big into writing hagiographies, handing out posh medals, and wearing “We’re #1” novelty foam hands. It’s this kind of behavior that leads to half-baked conspiracy theories.

        There is a big opening for a ‘pro-incompetence’ movement to come in, clean house, and advocate for what REALLY happened.

          hagiographies

          Congratulations, it’s been a while since I learned a new word. Or my memory is just horrible nowadays and I don’t remember due to the copious amount of weed I consume.

          Anyhow. Thanks. TIL

      In his (admittedly limited) defense, he joined the GOP in a very different time. He’s still filled with free market delusions, but he’s a pre-Reagan Republican, and has never supported Trump.

      He was inspired by Nixon. I wish more Republicans would be inspired by Nixon and leave office.

    The reason history is like that, is because smart people are peaceful. They are wise. The violent emotional hateful greedy people are the idiots.

    The idiots sometimes get a lot of power, and spread hate, and chase wealth and power with force.

    This forces the smart people to become fighters as well. So they put all their brains into defeating the hateful assholes responsible for war.

    And of course, they are good at it. Because they are smart.

        There’s nothing simple about it. Trust me. There’s a lot of smart people just trying to lice their lives that will be forced into focusing on fighting tyranny.

      Please define how you are using the word smart because I don’t think you mean intelligent.

      Intelligent people are just as horrible as the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet.

      Humans, en masse, are fucking horrible to each other while paradoxically thinking they are saints

        I disagree. I think theres a range of intelligence and the highest range, is like philosophers. Morality comes from philosophy. Only a bumbling idiot like Trump, can think it makes sense to abuse children, kill people, rape women, send people to war, create poverty, take rights, have rules for themselves and not for others, funnel all wealth to themselves asmuch as possible, only to do dumb shit like putting gold on their walls so they can feel worth something.

        The smartest people are wisest, and good people. Loke philosophers, like historical Jesus.

        There is a while range of idiots under that. The biggest ones get exploired by those that are slightly smarter.

        And shitty people can be capable of things like advanced math and learning at school.

        But they aren’t smart like discovering knowledge smart. Those people have a deep understanding of morality, and they must see how much of a fool you have to be to be maga, or Trump. Its an impossibility to desire to be that.

        Im probably just thinking “smart” is a lot smarter than you’re thinking. Those evil people you think are smart, I do not consider smart.

      Arnie has spoke out in favor of a Palestinian state and put significant blame on Israel for the continuing conflict.

      That’s milquetoast on the Fediverse, where anything less than anti-Zionism is full-throated support for the genocide of Palestinians; but in the USA, that’s a serious departure from the positions normalized by Israeli PR here.

        Do you want me to spam tens of video footage of him visiting Israel, condeming Hamas and for more than 2 years saying return the susages while 70k+ get genocided? Arnold is blinded by his love of ethno supremacy. Either that or he is a shill whose morales are for sale. If you pay him, he becomes a toilet that regurgitates whatever shit you tell him to like almost all of Hollywood

        Look he’s been doing it for decades lol:

          Saying “I’m a friend to Israel” and meeting with Israelis who had family taken as hostages to deliver a generic speech about keeping hope for their return and refusing hate?

          … that’s really what you’re worked up over.

            Yes you cannot be “Friends of an ethno supremacist genocidal aparthied” and against racial hatered in the same time! Is that a hard concept?

            Did you see him in the clip visiting and supporting the IOF and Israel for DECADES like a brainless pawn?

            He’s been supporting an ethno supramciat settler-colonial aparthied for decades. That literally means he cannot pretend to advocate against anti-racial hatered aka against anti-semitism. There was already 10000+ palestinian hostages kidnapped by IOF before Oct-7, and Gaza has been bombed and besiged for decades. You cant be friends with that

            Stop playing this mental gymansim. He is either a nazi supporter, or a scummy lowlife shill whose morales are for sale. There is no choice #3 here. You cant be against anti-semitism, and pro ethno surpremacy and settler-colonial aparthied that cages, starves and bombs people in open-air prison just because they are from different race.

            He puts so many anti-zionism Jews to shame. He’s no Dave Smith… He’s no Katie Halper, He’s no Norm Franksltien… FFS call this holloywood zionist shill for who he is.
