LMAO ok Capt Obvious hes a retard and how old are you
"Intelligence as measured by IQ tests peaks around age 20 to 40 and then heads downward. But IQ is adjusted for age. By definition, the average IQ of 20 year olds would be 100. The average for 50 year olds is also 100, as is the average for 80 year olds. This is even though people get stupider and score lower on the tests as they get older.
Alan Kaufman, a researcher at Yale, calculates a "full scale" (global) IQ, where he removes the adjustment for age, and adds an adjustment for educational levels of people in different age groups:
[URL]https://metafact.io/factcheck_answers/2355[/URL]
Based on Kaufman's research, the average full scale IQ for people 20 to 44 is about 100. Then it drops as follows:
45 to 54 years old - 97.
55 to 64 years old - 94.
65 to 69 years old - 90.
70 to 74 years old - 86.
75 years and older - 79.
So lets assume Joe Biden is of average intelligence. He graduated in the bottom part of his classes at the University of Delaware and Syracuse University Law School. Some believe he wouldn't have graduated from either if he weren't a skilled plagiarizer. Throughout his career he's seemed somewhat mentally challenged from time to time.
I think "average" is reasonable.
Biden is 81 years old. So let's go with the "full scale" IQ of 79 above, for people 75 and older.
Here's an IQ percentile converter.
[URL]https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/iq-percentile[/URL]
If I plug in 79, I get 8%. In other words, if Biden is of average intelligence for your person 75+ years old, he'd be pretty close to the bottom, in the 8% percentile, for people 20 to 44 years old.
I plugged that into a couple of other converters and got about the same number.
Think about it another way. Human Rights Watch says "to be diagnosed as having mental retardation, a person must have an IQ below 70-75":
[URL]https://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/ustat/ustat0301-01.htm[/URL]
If Biden's IQ is 79, four points higher than the 75 cutoff, we have a president who'd be pretty close to a retard if he were in the 20 to 44 age group. How much sense does that make?
Trump's not much better. If elected next year, he'll be 82 when his term expires.
We need new blood! Yes, Ronald Reagan did a great job. But he was "only" 77 when he left office. ".
Great job? Doing what shitting his pants? Ronny the Retard was shitting his pants long before he ever left the White House.
Skilled plagiarizer? LOL but how about Barry Hussein that dum MFer still won't release his grades 15 yrs after 2008.
I'm guessing any school he "attended" was ordered by the deep state to BURN all records, so they are NEVER seen.
And being the stable genius that he is I'm sure our Lord and Savior is a very high performing outlier.
Trump is sharper and more energetic than any college grads, hes a very young 77.
Crusty Dirtbag Joe is a very very old 81.
New blood ok 2028 Donald Trump Jr and Tucker for VP theres your new blood!!
Lovely point, but way off topic.
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2880017]Stock market declines, recessions and a pandemic would have occurred in 2020 and around 2008/2009 if John Kerry or Hillary Clinton had been president, instead of Bush and Trump. About Hoover, I don't remember back to 1929. The party of the president is pretty far down the list of what causes market indices to go up and down.
That's an interesting theory you have about tax cuts and market performance. [B]Very unconventional.[/b] Individual tax cuts provide stimulus to the economy and corporate cuts boost after tax profits, which in turn cause share prices to increase, all else being equal.
Please recall the NBER piece that determined changes in corporate taxation in 2018 as a result of the Republicans' TCJA actually caused government revenues to be higher than they would be otherwise. Everybody, the corporations, workers, and the taxpayer, are better off as a result -- more corporate profits, more jobs, higher wages, and higher revenues to the government.
Did it occur to you that one of the reasons for higher corporate profits and thus higher share prices is the TCJA? Recall that by the estimates in the NBER paper it took 4 years for the benefits of the TCJA to kick in to such an extent that government revenues are higher than they would have been otherwise. Similarly the benefits to investment, jobs and corporate profits are greater now than they were in 2018.
[B]The USA has the most progressive tax system in the developed world.[/b] It had the highest corporate rate in the developed world prior to 2018.[/QUOTE]1. There is nothing unconventional about it at all. Bear Markets typically accompany Recessions. Mega Bear Markets would naturally and logically accompany Great Depressions and Great Recessions where Unemployment Rates spike up into double digits and / or jobs are wiped out by the millions. All of which occurred due to Repub economic policy and stewardship (the POTUS being both the policy guide and "decider" and the steward. Sorry) and none of which occurred due to that of a Dem for the past 100 years or so. Wildly coincidentally, of course.
2. I am always talking about tax [B]cuts[/B]. You know, those thingies POTUSes generally propose in order to produce a necessary economic stimulus at a given moment in time. Might even be temporary until the economy gets back on track. When, where, why, how much of a [B]cut[/B] and on whom is the "stewardship" part of it, completely aside from the "fact" of a tax cut. Clearly, obviously and inarguably supported by every bit of data and historical record available, not all tax cuts are created equal and they all don't produce the same result simply because somebody's taxes got cut.
It turns out Repub tax cuts, when, where, why, how much and on whom, along with their "stewardship", if any while they are out fishing, riding ponies, clearing brush down at the ranch or playing golf, golf, golf, either produce zero economic stimulus, fewer jobs with them than without them (see the TCJA), cost more in deficit spending than the stimulus there were supposed to produce (again, see the TCJA) or, most notably throughout history, Great Repub Recessions, Skyrocketing Unemployment Rates and / or Massive Jobs Destruction. If for no other reason but that the cuts made by Repubs were so irrelevant to the stimulus required at the time, if any, IN ORDER to avert and avoid a looming economic storm. Again, that is the "stewardship" part.
Dem tax cuts do not produce those negative net results. By stark contrast, they have produced some of the greatest economic recoveries, expansions and job gains in history. That is very likely because Dem tax cuts are designed to actually recover, stimulate the economy and create jobs rather than to merely make some political donor class wealthier. FDR, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry would no more have proposed and passed a tax cut designed to produce the latter Repub result at a time of gathering economic storm clouds than any of them would have defied all expert warnings not to do something so stupid and dangerous as to defund and eliminate all of the Pandrmic Prevention and Response teams from those Chinese labs in 2018,2019 and lied about the resulting situation all through 2020 and beyond. Meaning they never would have considered such a thing for a single minute.
You then generally reply with some niceity about progressive tax [B]rates[/B], which is lovely to read and revisit from time to time but, alas, is not even the same topic as the totally accurate point I make about tax [B]cuts[/B] made at a given moment in order to stimulate the economy, create jobs, generate revenue to pay down the debt, deficit and so on.

Not more lies and keyboard diarrhea
"The lawsuit that brought it to this point in Colorado was filed by Repubs and 1 Independent. No Dems.
The DNC and Joe Biden had nothing to do with it.
And it has all been 100% legal. Your boy disqualified himself and made himself Constitutionally ineligible to be a so-called potus or any other federal official again.
But, there is still hope for you. There are surely enough America-hating Repub hypocrites on the Supreme Court to once again reverse every States Rights principle their party has been blathering about since forever and carve out a "one time only" exception to what is clearly stated in the USA Constitution in order to help your boy get into office and continue to shit all over the economy and national security as The Worst So-Called President of All Time. The same as they did for Repub GW Bush, The Second Worst So-Called President of All Time. ".
Worst President of all time? Haaaa that's a 3 way tie Bubba Barry the Muslim Hussein and GW Bush, 24 of the worst years in the history of this country.
I would even throw Scumbag Joe in there but he isn't the President and never will be.
He was illegitimately installed by the Oligarchs and he will be dispatched accordingly, very soon.
A good overview. But he missed a few Trump and Repub Disasters.

[QUOTE]SHILLUE: Jessica where do we go from here? Twenty seconds to defend Joe Biden, the indefensible.
TARLOV: We go right back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue because... [b]we do have good economic news. But, the media doesn't want to cover it. He is correct on that. He shouldn't just say, you're looking at the wrong thing. They need to communicate this better.
But we've got revised third quarter GDP growth up to 4.9 percent. Unheard of. Consumer confidence went up to 14 percent. Largest jump in a decade. Inflation is running at an annualized rate below Powell's target, which is why he's talking about a rate cut. Personal income is up. Grocery and energy prices down last month.
And the Quinnipiac poll, this part of it is really important. They did a forward looking question. What you think 2024 is going to be like, 48 percent said the economy is going to be better, and 62 percent think that they are going to be better off in the next year. When is the election? November 2024. Democrats make your case. There is a case to be made.[/b]

Another explanation for Democratic lunacy
For all the Democratic posturing about how fair the 2020 vote, we were asked to trust the courts and how no judges took on a challenge to the 2020 election as proof it was fair. I never thought that. I thought after the 2000 Florida debacle that judges hated intervening in an election even in 2000 where they had to. I thought the court then made the right decision but it took its arrows for involving itself. My attitude was not to ask the court to decide the winner. If the Dems cheated well enough to be caught by the court, so be it. You cannot ask judges to decide who should be president.
So we have Colorado and now Maine and all the indictments and it is pretty clear that the judicial system is tilted dramatically in the Democrats favor. The argument that we could trust the judicial system not to pick a president with the 2020 election has been lost. My faith in the judicial system has been shot and the polls show I am not alone. What has happened with all the bogus legal charges and Trump gaining in popularity has the Democratic douches as a lost as to what to do.
Well, Robert Kagan of the Washington Post has his take and wrote.
Indicting Trump for trying to overthrow the government will prove akin to indicting Caesar for crossing the Rubicon, and just as effective. What limits his powers? The most obvious answer is the institutions of justice all of which Trump, by his very election, will have defied and revealed as impotent.
Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans threw every legitimate weapon against Trump and still failed. Will they turn instead to illegitimate, extralegal action?
It is utterly amazing how an asshole like this just blows off the Americans who vote for Trump as stupid. You fucking assholes sent a SWAT team to Trump's house to get paperwork and you thought people would be cheering you on versus looking at you with disgust? The Biden administration actions have Banana Republics like El Salvador and Argentina blasting the USA as corrupt. And now the solution is to kill Trump as opposed to beat him at the ballet box? Can you get more vile?
Matt Taibbi writes The Post racked up lots of these oopsies. It ran the damaging April 2017 leak about the FISA court surveillance of former Trump aide Carter Page, wrongly dubbed an "agent of a foreign power. " It botched the "Nunes memo" story, ran at least eight different wrong scare pieces about Russian bots, bit on "Bountygate," and helped build the oppo-crafted story of Trump as a Manchurian Candidate whose "warm views" of Russia "began in the 1980's, when the country was still part of the Soviet Union," who appeared to change the Republican Party platform to help Russia, and "tried to conspire" with Putin. It's hard to see anything but willful cooperation in a goofball intelligence-led caper to paralyze the Trump administration through a campaign of leaks and manufactured rumors that began before Trump's inauguration, before he even had a chance to do the bad thing.
And all this is greeted with whataboutism and so what and never mind by the Democratic douches. You want us to believe 2020 was honest after all this shit and now these fucking libtard judges telling citizens they cannot vote for whom they want?
We saw what it took with the border crisis. There was all this racist bullshit about the border and then the governor of Texas started sending immigrants to Illinois and New York and the libtard politicians cried like little babies for help. Who are the racists now?
And there is more for Taibbi, More revealing still were Kagan's passages about how easy it will be for dictator Trump to pursue enemies in modern imperial America, a state Kagan helped build, where the executive has almost limitless ability to thumb the scales of justice. I get why Kagan would be nervous he and his CIA-ogling pals like Bill Kristol and David Frum will likely be first in line to herded into the proverbial see-130 and pushed out over the Atlantic, should Trump and Steve Bannon go that route. Still, it's astonishing Kagan didn't know how much he gave away, in laying out fears of "tyranny. ".
When a guy is advocating for our votes not counting and advocating killing the leading candidate for president, shouldn't he be thrown out of plane? When you have an asshole like Kagan and his allies who have systemically destroyed the public faith in the supposedly objective judiciary, shouldn't he suffer his fate of not having an objective judiciary?
The thing that gets me with Democratic douches like Spidy and Tooms is their arrogance. The whole notion that voting for Trump is a vote for Democracy and against the deep state goes over their heads.
We saw what it took with the immigrant crisis. With Spidy and Tooms, I think the only way they get the folly of sending a SWAT team in to get paperwork is to have the same happen to them.
And they take their marching orders from guys at the Post and NYTimes. I bet it never occurred to them that guys like Kagan are really spewing out all this anti-Trump rhetoric is out of fear for their lives.
I never imagined that if a guy like Trump threw a guy like Kagan out a plane that it might be good for Democracy. That is how much damage Democratic douches have done to the judicial system.
