"Smart People Don't Like Me"

Post by Gary Childress »

If Trump is the right choice, then why do smart people not like him? Clearly, the "smart" people must not be "smart people", right? Or is it "smart" to be against the right choice? Or is there no "right" choice, only us and them, and "smart people" are just the enemy? Now I'm confused again.

Now I know why philosophers have expressed much interest in the "liar's paradox".

TDS is the reverse Dutch Tulip craze, or maybe just like that craze, depending on your view.

There were and are plenty of smart people in Holland,

and Leftists today are still harnessing wind power to fuel server farms.

Big Media pulled the finger and lost enthusiasm for the subject.

Perhaps the highest form of political criticism is fart jokes.

So you don't follow Trump? Is that correct?

Without mitigating devices, following could be a problem for the little people, especially in an elevator.
Big folks, no problemo, at least initially.

Mitigating financial instruments (devices) that yield an insulating income is one such device simpatico to the wellness climate of little followers, and biggins too.

A tax break is a financial instrument of sorts.

wind power … give it a tax break … and hope for wind.
