Stephen A. Smith is well known for having lots of retarded sports takes just to get eyes on his show, and he also talks very slowly about anything that isn't sports, which indicates a lack of passion or talent for politics. Political debates aren't chimping out at another brotha over who the GOAT is like he's used to on ESPN, unless you're Trump which I don't see him pulling off.

ESPN host Stephen Smith really truly is considering a presidential campaign. He says people asking him to run is an indictment of the Democratic Party. 2028 feels like a hundred years away in politics so we'll see what happens with him.

I really don’t understand the Stephen Smith thing. To me, he was always just the black guy who looked like a leprechaun while inserting politics into ESPN. He’s just a flash in the pan who is shooting his shot way too early. There are real contenders like Shapiro, Whitmer, and Newsome out there. They know the time to gain momentum as a candidate is not for another couple of years.

Best comparison would be Keith Olberman. Sports guy who realizes he can be a politics troll too, but is in danger of beginning to self-fart-sniff and take himself seriously.
 
Dafuq is going on with Whitmer going to the White House and covering her face in photo ops? I mean, I've read reddit's shitty rationale for that (she didn't consent to photo ops), but shit, you're a governor and a public figure. Grow the fuck up.
 
She requested a meeting, and Trump said “ok,” but he ended up inviting her at the same time he was signing an executive order about election integrity. She was embarrassed most likely because she didn’t want the democrat world to know she was meeting with trump for anything, because it makes her look like she’s fraternizing with the enemy, or in the context of the executive order, that she’s a snitch

Ahem, now, in honor of Easter week

🎶 It seems to me a strange thing, myyyyyystifying
That a man like you
could waste his time
On commies of this kind

🎶 Yes I can understand that Xiiiiii amuses
But to let him stroke you
And kiss your hand
Is hardly in your line
 
I'm still unsure of the point Bernie's sperg out over Social Security is, other than to scare the shit out of old people with having their gibs being taken away. They've been scaring and fear mongering this shit ever since Obama was in office. "Better not let another Republican take office. They want to gut government programs." Well, they do, but not for American citizens. Ever since they've started defunding their new voting block, they've been more agitated about it. I mean, it's true. I haven't seen the Democrats this pissed since the Republicans took away their slaves.

From my experience, direct African immigrants are more likely to have like, a normal conception of shame or whatever that compels them to do as well as their neighbors and try to fit in. Granted, the sample size is a couple people in a couple decades

The immigrants thing gets skewed because the few African immigrants we get that aren’t refugees tend to be more competent than the rest of the continent. The country of origin matters a lot too.

That's critical. The Indians who came over pre-1990 were very intelligent...and then we opened the floodgates. Europe opened immigration to anyone in Africa and in return got a bunch of violent Muslims who destroyed large portions of their cities.

A lot of naive people who've only encountered the top 0.01% of a group think that the other 99.99% is equally as good.

A lot of older immigrants are extremely anti-immigration because they know what they ran from and do not want it to follow them.

Which is desirable on a factory floor because factories are based.

No. Not even a little bit? Your logic was "How true can it possibly be that China has unique tooling quality when they don’t have a single noteworthy machine tool manufacturer?"
You're saying they can't make good machined tooling or components because they don't have a major Mill or Lathe manufacturer in their country.

I thought "machine tool" meant the forms and jigs that are used to make the final parts, so not the lathe or chisel, and not the wooden chair leg, but the shape of the chair leg cut into steel that you can run the chisel along.

ONE of us is retarded. At least one.

If I had to guess, Bernie is seeing the layoffs happening to social security staff, and Elon Musk using a prop chainsaw when talking about the US budget, and thinking that the two things are probably related.

Don’t feel bad. There are probably even some machinists who don’t know that the catch all term for the shit they work with is “machine tool.”

Our culture considers manufacturing too dirty and poor to be worth mentioning, so I wouldn’t be surprised if zillennials didn’t know what ANY of it is called
