Their argument is the place romanticizes slavery and having weddings/parties there is the most despicable thing in the world.

Obviously, that’s ridiculous, but that’s their mindset

And they’re absolutely entitled to that opinion. It’s not like they were going to be forced to patronize Nottoway if it hadn’t burned down. Most of the ones complaining never even laid eyes on the place, so however personally repugnant they found the house or its history, its continued existence had no material effect on their lives whatsoever.

Don’t like it? By all means, don’t support it. Tell everyone you don’t support it and why, if that floats your boat. That’s completely your right.

Instead all that happened was the (free, willingly-employed) people who relied on NP for their income saw their livelihood literally go up in smoke, a disadvantaged community lost a significant chunk of its economic base overnight, and a complicated but important historical record was destroyed — but let’s all clap like seals because schadenfreude, I guess?

I keep waiting for someone to explain how very real, measurable, and widespread material harm (which will affect plenty of black people too) creates a net positive from this equation, but so far there have been no takers.

No, but I’d imagine they’d cater with me.

I’m not quite as emotional and dramatic as y’all so I don’t express outrage over politics, but I’m glad Trump is getting rid of a lot of wasteful spending.

Honest questions, to which I hope you’ll respond in kind:

Even allowing for the assumption that this is nothing more than “wasteful spending”, absent of any malice or corruption, is there not a level of wasteful spending at which you believe taxpayers have a right to be outraged? Is the issue of diverting tens, if not hundreds, of millions to programs that are facially absurd and lacking any real transparency or accountability not far more significant and emotionally-charged than, say, a few government offices buying a couple hundred dollars of paper clips that never get used?

In other words, are you truly asserting that even the kindest possible interpretation of this situation it isn’t distinguishable from any other everyday, ordinary political disagreement?

I'm not claiming that. If you had someone with a legit didactic memory (which isn't that common, if it exists at all), they could probably do that with Barbri and some writing background...and an IQ over 110.

Didactic or eidetic?

which also happen to represent some of the primary ingredients that RFK Jr. is calling out as a sign of inexcusable laxity and/or corruption in federal oversight. “Orwellian” is not a compliment or a standard you should aspire to, people. :lol:

The lack of self-awareness is so remarkable that it defies belief. Seriously, you’ll never convince me that any adult human who’s capable of stringing enough words together to form the sentences in this story doesn’t KNOW how stupid this conclusion is, even if they’ll never admit it publicly.

The headline confused me for a second. I genuinely forgot Biden was still President. :lol:

They’re not going for clout, although on some level they do relish the opportunity to play the “holier-than-thou” card with regard to J6. And they never miss one.

Their real agenda, though, is a lot more insidious: They’re just distracting everyone from whatever they’re doing behind the scenes to secretly undermine the whole process. Then when evidence of that frickery inevitably starts to trickle out, they’ll turn around and screech about how it can’t be true because they were so gracious and solicitous and Trump’s just trying to defame them because he refused to unify, and here are 4.37 million MSM articles to prove it.

I hope at some point it dawns on these idiots that they’re not proving the point that they think they are with stuff like this. :rolleyes:

Obviously there’s some correlation between intelligence and academic achievement, but until you break down the data by the actual metric you’re purporting to measure, then you have no idea if that pool of “educated” people who trust the MSM are disproportionately composed of people who managed to get some sort of college degree in spite of having a decidedly average or even below-average IQ.

And that doesn’t even touch on the idea that, even if these people are higher-IQ on paper, they’re not automatically more emotionally intelligent or pragmatic than people who are likely only a few points down the scale from them on average.

The whole premise is so weak that you don’t know whether to be angry about how disingenuous they’re being, or embarrassed for them that they’re too dumb to realize how weak it is.

That black dude probably just got red pilled right there. He realized he was the only one at the table willing to admit that the emperor has no clothes

Shermichael Singleton is a Republican. Given how young he is, I’m not sure he was ever anything but red-pilled.

Sounds more like damning with faint praise than anything.
