Art is also conditioned to bring up his syndrome whenever he is losing an argument or getting uncomfortable. That or lashing out at feminism. All things I don’t tolerate and communicated to him some time ago. AUtistics are very good at mimicking, but unfortunately they tend to mimick their abusers. In this case, Art mimicks Leftist tactics, but at a very child ish level, when arguing against me.

I think I’ve read that one….
Doesn’t mean that people should stop prophesying.
All important fiction has a kernel of truth in it.

“Its obvious you’re intelligent. Likely a standard deviation or two (possibly three) above most of us. Its also obvious that your intelligence has come at the cost of the social and practical wherewithal to communicate down to us ..”

Considering the general run of commenters here, I think Artfl is representative, but not extreme, IQ-wise; however, he has lots of experience and information that a lot of us (*raises hand*) simply don’t have. Intelligence is only needed to the extent required to remember and process it; communication is a totally different skill, and not all of us are blessed with it.

*snorts*

People actually think Art is that high on the IQ scale?

God forbid, what does that make the rest of us…

Let’s just say that Prometheus Society and Mensa are “above average” in my standardization. They are not bad.

They lack Spiritual IQ or maybe what they call Emotional Quotient.

It’s amazing how much this stuff resembles the palace intrigues of the European monarchies of the past…

Trum going to clean out the swamp in Byzantine DC was not as favorable in odds as others gave him in 2015.

I never had the delusion of believing the DS swamp was as easy to clear out as everybody else seemed to want to have faith in.

“by the way… just for the record rabbit.. have you ever followed my links and read? or did you follow and read, and are upset that i claim you didnt?
or did you not and are upset i am right about it?”

In order:

1) Not since the first time I encountered your comments circa 2009 (I’ve been reading and commenting here since then, under various names.)

2) Nope

3) Nope

4) Nope

Originally, waaaay back then, I suffered through a couple of your Wall of Text link/copypasta fests. But, I don’t mind admitting, that I can’t stomach the woe is me Cassandra nature of your diatribes and now just skim past them. Unless they’re succinct, like the comment this is in answer to.

Your comments would be the kernel of a great sci-fi short story, wherein some brilliant but misunderstood genius is trying to drop transcendent truths on people, but they will never know because he can’t stop insulting them and talking down to them.

Its obvious you’re intelligent. Likely a standard deviation or two (possibly three) above most of us. Its also obvious that your intelligence has come at the cost of the social and practical wherewithal to communicate down to us mid-I.Q mass information aggregating tenderfoots. A shame and a big one.

On Friday, a source told Fox News that a National Security Council (NSC) staffer had spoken about Trump’s July 25th phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “multiple” people outside of the NSC, and had characterized the call as “outrageous.” This occurred before the whistleblower’s complaint had been submitted. This development had been reported to then-senior National Security Council (NSC) leadership.

House Democrats are now demanding that the “whistleblower” be allowed to testify by letter. This marks another step forward in the impeachment narrative. Yesterday it was from behind a curtain with the voice artificially distorted. Today it’s by letter. Tomorrow it will be from Elon Musk’s Mars colony.

The excuse for this is the evergreen “death threats,” but this is even less likely the case than in other instances. A CIA operative is frightened by anonymous death threats? Are you sure?

So what could the real explanation be? Let us count the ways:
…
It could be any of these (except for the last — not even the Democrats are that bold) or something else altogether. What is undeniable is that the House Dems are now trying to stall. This is a clear sign of failure. The only hope that the impeachment mob had was to strike quickly, cleanly, and successfully. A stretched out process would only reveal the weaknesses of their case and turn the entire affair into a campaign issue, and not one in their favor. They blew it, and now they’re playing for time and looking for a way down. They have yet to find it.

The last item on the list although all made sense) was “There is no whistleblower” — I’m not entirely convinced that isn’t true.
Think about the character of the complaint: entirely hearsay, lawyer-eze to the max — the whistleblower’s “sources” could easily have gone directly to Schiff’s staff (see the link above), with no single person actually being “THE” whistleblower.
The Democrats could have an invisible whistle blower to go with all their silent dog whistles.

It’s important in politics to be consistent. That’s why I’m always consistent in criticizing Trump no matter what he does.

I’ll criticize Trump for not doing what I want. And then when he does what I said I wanted, I’ll still criticize him. Some smaller minds might call this hypocrisy, but there is no hypocrisy, because I’m sticking to the core principle that Trump is dumb and bad. Even when Trump does exactly what I want, he’s still doing it as Trump, which makes whatever it is now stupid and wrong.
…
It’s clear that Trump can’t do anything right because he will stubbornly insist on being Trump while doing it. That’s why he must resign—though I will then criticize him for abandoning the country in our time of need.

RTWT and laugh.
It’s good for you.
