Then, in practice, they are constantly getting affirmation of their inherent amazingness from nurses, resident and patients. Almost uniformly, they are self absorbed, selfish pricks. Of course they end up like Ben ****ing Carson.

heh believe it or not, it's well known within the medical/legal community that this is notoriously true about surgeons in particular. they're like the stupid jocks of the profession.

Also doctors are rich enough to get GOP tax cuts.

That post was a careful read so I fully expected 2p2 to not understand it. It appears the trump team may not have all been colluding with themselves. In essence they all know they need to do X but everybody doing their own thing about how to get there.

Vanity Faire article on Brietbart worth a read. Their page view numbers were crazy suspicious and have tanked like 1000%. Wondering if they'll cover Hillary during Trump's ("nothing to see here, move along") impeachment.

It's funny how Major National Figure like Bill'O is the voice of the silent majority but barely cracks top 20 in podcasts after being kicked off the air. Same with Glenn Beck.

Meanwhile 3 Obama speecwriters are selling 10x the custom mattress and premade meals. (To be fair, they are pretty talented, especially Lovett).

Their target audiences have VCR's that are blinking 12:00. How are they going to download and listen to a podcast?

Unbelievable LOL that the same people who arguing that billionaires like Trump have to be all-wise are now arguing that billionaires like Trump (and Kushner) are naive useful idiots.

It's impressive the total flip of the switch without any part of the rest of brain noticing.

They are the same person! Daddies who built wealth building residential real estate for working people, who inherited fortunes and managed to **** it all up because of ego. Every piece of evidence we have points towards Jared being a total ****ing moron.

All of the above plus a dash of not really thinking it through and a pinch of being wholly uninformed.

Black people are on welfare. White people are on disability. Totally different!

Trump taking care of that. And, to be fair, the claim was that's where you're more likely to find really smart people, not (by any means) that most people that do math/science are really smart, or that many really smart people do not have massive blind spots/delusions. Was drunk posting anyway.

If Donald Trump claimed he was not aware that chocolate chip cookies had chocolate chips in them, I would sort of believe him.

There's a basic notion in law (and life) that the more damaging and more probable something is, the more precaution should be taken. Trump seems barely able to assess any of these three variables.

what's nice about the new storm around Kushner is, unlike Flynn, the guy has some really ****ing serious direct links with Trump. The guy is literally family.

And Trump is the sole reason why he's been so important in.... well, everything... he's put Kushner in charge of everything imaginable in the past months.

Three days after declaring martial law in the rebellious southern Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered his troops to crush the militants, and gave a speech to inspire them:

“You can arrest any person, search any house,” Duterte told the soldiers Friday.

“I alone would be responsible” for anything they did under martial law, he said. “I will go to jail for you. If you happen to have raped three women, I will own up to it.”

...

“Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now, there are 3 million drug addicts. … I'd be happy to slaughter them,” he told reporters a few months after winning the election.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/0...nscript-238758

“I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem,” Trump told Duterte, according to the transcript. “Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that.”
