Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones, But I'm President And You're Not, You Little Dweeb
We all know that President Trump has been accused of being a racist. The left went apeshit during the 2016 Presidential debates when Donald Trump took a swipe at Rosie O'Donnell.
Imagine if Donald Trump tweeted the following about the old hag Joy Behar, "I mean, gosh, what could that gal beat me at, being a slob?" "Like, what could Joy Behar possibly be better than me at? An eating contest? Like something that involved trying to keep something on the ground and having really large body mass? Like, if there was a hot-air balloon that was rising and you needed to try and keep it on the ground, she would be better than me at that? Because she is so fat." The Bulwark would be apoplectic. Charlie 3-Wives Sykes, probably would forget that he was married and be on the prowl again. John Podhoertz would be sweating bullets about the fat shaming which took place. Erick Erickson would be crying on his new podcast. And Little Spud Stelter would be frothing from the mouth. While patriotic Jake Tapper would be lamenting that the greatest generation didn't fight and die for this buffoon. The problem is that Donald Trump didn't tweet that or even say that. Long shot Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said that about President Trump.Entrepreneur Andrew Yang brutally attacked President Trump's physical appearance at a recent event, mocking him as a "fat" "slob" with "really large body mass." Yang's rant came as he spoke in Iowa over the weekend, as reported by The Atlantic, saying he challenges the president to "any physical or mental feat under the sun." The businessman may have to get in line, with former Vice President Joe Biden having already declared he'll challenge Trump to a push-up contest should he make fun of his age. "I'd say, 'C'mon Donald, c'mon man," Biden told Morning Joe. "How many push-ups do you want to do here, pal?'"
Where is the outrage? Crickets.
Instead of attacking President Trump maybe he should be spend more time worried about the other Democratic candidates in front of him. Hell, he's so far behind he's not even mentioned in the latest Democratic polling results.
In the first major shakeup to the lineup, Elizabeth Warren moves ahead of Bernie Sanders to claim second place behind Joe Biden in the Democratic nomination race. In addition, primary voters sharply divide between embracing former President Obama’s legacy and taking a new path. A new Fox News Poll finds Biden continues to lead the nomination race with the support of 31 percent of Democratic primary voters. Next is Elizabeth Warren at 20 percent, Bernie Sanders at 10 percent, and Kamala Harris at 8 percent.Obviously fat shaming is only acceptable if you are a retarded morally upright Democrat or NeverTrumper.
it's a sad but true fact: Fat shaming is everywhere. Now, there's evidence it can do more than damage self-confidence -- it may also have serious health consequences. A new study found that overweight women who believe negative messages about their bodies are at greater risk for heart disease and diabetes than those who maintain a more positive body image.
The research, published in the journal Obesity, showed that higher levels of "weight-bias internalization" -- the term for what happens when people are aware of negative stereotypes about obesity and apply those stereotypes to themselves -- were associated with more cases of metabolic syndrome, a combination of health issues that raise the risk for heart disease and diabetes.
After all, the Americans who support President Trump are racists.
Sticks and stones and fat shaming may break bones, but names will only galvanize President Trump and his base's resolve.
President Trump on Thursday mocked the weight of a protester who briefly interrupted his rally in Manchester, N.H. "That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising," Trump said as the individual who interrupted Trump's speech was escorted out of the arena.
"Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do,” Trump quipped. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'

They can't paint the president as weak on *anything*. He is beating their ass with success on every possible measure that matters except where he has been thwarted by them.
So they try this. They know that many of the people who decide elections don't vote on policy. They vote on "feel". But Trump is beating there too. He has a calm stability about him. They seem mostly like mental patients.

Consider the protocols of that "study."
As you point out, how do you determine which women "believe negative messages about their bodies." Then how do you determine how MUCH they believe such messages? Similarly with those having "more positive positive body image."
the term for what happens when people are aware of negative stereotypes about obesity and apply those stereotypes to themselves
Negative stereotypes? I'd say heart disease, diabetes, and mobility issues are just a tad more substantive than a stereotype.
But that's me.

Yes, he got everyone to stop fighting by killing a third of the military age population of the South. Technically correct, but not really to the point.

Ironically, the American Civil War corresponded in time quite closely to the Taiping Rebellion in China, which also wiped out a significant proportion of the population there.

They can't have a businessman/woman come aboard and show "Hey, you don't need to be a Tom Nichols Expert / "Know how Gov't" works" kind of person to run anymore.
The days of "I'm a politician" but I know how this beast runs so I can do what needs to be done is now over. Mitt ran as a businessman, as have others and the elites/experts are scared that if PDJT is successful, it will show that this isn't as complex as they have alluded to. Their bubble is bursting and that's what has them scared.
The top of any organization puts people in place and leads. The "he/she has no gov't experience" contrast is what really scares these people.

The buggy whip and buggy industries weren't put out of business by industries that used robots to produce automobiles. They employed people at wages that could support a family. It's a fair question--if automation does idle formerly productive people, what's to be done with them if no other avenues to be productive exist?

Automation isn't the problem. The problem is that the economy is becoming progressively more and more cognitively-loaded, with less and less need for strong backs.
So the question is what do we do with people with IQs a SD below average (i.e., 85 or lower)? That's 16% of the population, and the prospects of teaching them to code is pretty much nil.

There is widespread scientific consensus that humans caused the recent warming in Earth's atmosphere.
The temperature rise cannot be explained by natural factors, scientists said. In the past 20 years, the world's temperature has risen about two-thirds of a degree Fahrenheit, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
Using computer simulations along with paleoclimatic data, a study this year from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research reported that carbon dioxide has reached levels in our atmosphere not seen in 3 million years.

Of course the Special Classes think they can never be called names, and their leftist thought can never even be criticized, cuz if you do ... you are a white supremacist. It is not racist to call Abrams or Maxine Waters stupid/racist/haters ... that is entirely different than claiming all black people are that.

It's hotter now than it ever has been. It must be, because Climate Change is True.
Therefore, we must do various curve fitting tests to determine which factors correlate with what we perceive must be happening.
Because C02 causes climate Change, then we can therefore extrapolate that CO2 *also* is at it's highest levels ever.

Here's how I think about this. At one point, it was common to build analogue computers to figure things out. At that juncture digital computers were just not feasible, and many doubted that they ever would be. How could you handle the enormous amount of digital data necessary?
Now no one uses analogue computers (as far as I know). They're dedicated to one task, whereas a digital computer can be programmed to do all manner of tasks.
That's the problem we have now economically and demographically. The bottom N% of the IQ distribution effectively cannot be reprogrammed.

Yep. Just for fun, ask a believer in Warmaggedon how much CO2 is in the atmosphere. The usual response I get is 5% (because most people cannot translate from ppm to percent).
Then ask them how much water vapor there is in the atmosphere. (Not the relative humidity; the absolute amount.) This obviously depends on the where we're talking about, etc. but assuming a notional partial pressure of 10 mm Hg, water vapor is 1.3% of the atmosphere - i.e., about 30 times more than CO2. In addition to which, the oscillator strength of the water IR bands is HUGE.

Jobs that are automated were jobs that required a human. If a company could hire up to a million workers for a penny a day, they'd hire as many as they could.
But they can't--they have to pay the going wage.
So some jobs are left undone or current workers are given double duties.
Automation frees up the employer to hire those additional employees

Self-belief isn't gonna cure disease by and large but there are chemicals released by the body that in repeated quantities will eventually will harm it. Or protect it.
Then again correlation isn't causation. Maybe people predisposed to die from being fat are also predisposed to think of themselves as fat pieces of shit who will die from it.
I do believe daily faith and prayer is protective. No one can prove why...

Observing James Taranto's theory that college degrees replaced IQ tests when Congress made it illegal for employers to use IQ tests, I would suspect that a person below the IQ of ~80 is generally unemployable in any job except the simplest minimum wage jobs.

Pride and Envy. Toxic combo. They have to be better than everyone else, but lack the ability. Their covetousness drives them to a new scheme. Be the fastest runner by clubbing everyone else in the knee.
They don't care about the potential they waste, or the destruction of lives, or even if everyone starves. Their pride tells them that they are the best, thus they have the right to rule.

Actually I think an IQ of 83 is classified as dull normal.
But an IQ of 83 or lower is still roughly the bottom 16% of the population.
