    “Members of Congress”? No. We have IDIOT CLOWNS in congress spouting such ridiculousness and ignorance. Fortunately, not the ones currently running the show anymore. I felt nearly the entire world relax and exhale on January 20th. My birthday was on the 21st, and I LOVE my present! THANK YEW!

    That’s ONE. Though there are about another 60 million with similar disabilities. That’s less than 20% of the US population.

    Alexa, please go to Washington, D.C. and start with the House of Representatives. Next, clean out the Senate, and finish at the White House.

    California had some minor power outages last summer.

    Aug 8, 2020 “This is what happen when the democrats are left in charge,” said Texas Lt Gov Patrick.

    Aug 19, 2020 “California is now unable to perform even basic functions like having reliable electricity,” said Tex Sen Cruz.

    Sept 6, 2020 “California’s politicians did this, not the heat,” said Texas AG Paxton.

    Now the Texas grid is down because republicans were in charge and failed to winterize the equipment. Now Texas is unable to provide electricity. It was Texas politicians that did this, not the cold. All they needed was some thermal blankets.

    If you don’t install the blasted things, you won’t have to suffer anxiety over whether it actually is listening and thinking on its own, or whether it will delete you or not. That way, If it does those things, the end will come as a nasty surprise and be over quick.

    Fox and Fiends was upset with the NY Times obit of Rush Limbo saying he was nasty and divisive. They say it was a slander. I guess since they are nasty and divisive they can’t recognize it when they hear it.

    I don’t blame any re-elected politician, of any party, for their behavior. I blame the people who continue to vote for them, knowing what they are like.

    Even the previous president did all the things he said he was going to do. Not only did no one stop him, they actively helped him. He didn’t get re-elected, but most of his enablers did. People vote (or don’t vote) for many different reasons…but, by and large, incumbents get re-elected, regardless of their behavior. I’ll bet if Senator Cruz was in an election TODAY, he’d get re-elected.

    On the subject on average IQ, I’m assuming that the figure is derived from global data. Sometimes I think my position on the slope depends on my location. Where I live in Sticksville I feel on a par with Stephen Hawking.

    Has anyone done regional adjustments?

    We are doomed. Now days, the crazier you are, the better. Intelligence has taken a sh**. Now opinions are just as , if not more legit than facts. The crazies are being called normal now, and anyone who disputes them, are going to get in trouble.

    When I remarked upon my sadness at the passing of Alex Trebek and concern of the future of Jeopardy without Alex at the helm, a young lady acquaintance of mine replied that she didn’t care much for Jeopardy because, and I am not making this up, “you have to know something.”

    The AI Apocalypse will be because they were programmed to be benign – and the AI is just trying to save ourselves from ourselves.

    I’d like a Q-Anonsenser to explain why they think there’s a “Jewish space laser” and why anybody’d use such a weapon to start wildfires in California – I’d like to, but I’m afraid they just might try to explain it.

    Technically, even though the term is no longer used, “Moron”, is in the lower end of the bell curve. Idiot is to Genius, what Moron is to Highly Gifted, on opposing ends of the bell curve. However, it has been over seventy years since idiot and moron are acceptable terms. Even “Mentally Retarded” has not been acceptable in almost twenty years. Blah blah blah, that and $5.00 might get you a cup of chai tea.

    Andy Kauffman didn’t die. Things got out of hand so he escaped into a new persona calling himself Rush Limbaugh. The only way Rush makes sense is if he is playing a theater of the absurd character. His problem was that he dug himself into a $500,000,000 personal assets trap nobody else would let him escape from.
