Dumbfuck in charge

[twocoach]

It appears that we have all simply had enough of all of this. Enough COVID-19, enough Trump, enough police brutality, enough.

Trump was right. I am sick of all this winning.

But I do admit, it has been nice not having DC call me stupid, ignorant, a pussy or a cunt for the last few days...

Sorry, Not Nice.

Everything Trump does backfires.

I really hope Trump talks his advisors into letting him give a big hearttfelt speech about unity and racial equality.

It would be the best "Vote For Biden" ad ever.

"I resign" would promote unity.

Or a Civil War. The Facebook/Fox News crowd would lose their minds.

Even with a teleprompter, I dunno if Trump is capable of being “heartfelt.” I also dunno if he is capable or even interested in saying a thing about “unity...”

[ousdahl]

The one way would be if someone could convince trump it would be politically expedient for himself, but then again, that’s at ends with his entire political strategy to date

Just know that even when DC is not here to call you those names, they do all still apply.

Exactly. Why force him to make a bullshit statement that he clearly doesn't believe? Honestly, the desire to have Trump make a statement is driven by Republicans who want to say "see, he did it" and the media who wants to fill air time skewering his inevitable bullshit lies.

I dont need to hear him make a statement about anything at this point.

Anything to add to the actual conversation?

He thinks his dominant bully approach is going to win him a second term. No one is convincing Trump to do anything different.

I contributed more in that sentence than you have in your entire backlog of posting.

It's just another Trumpian level performance of what you think makes your digital persona look like a witty tough guy.

How many PhDs do you have?

[Deleted User 310]

It is fascinating to see the flip flopping trump brings out in some people. Not directed at anyone specifically (and not meant maliciously), but i see a lot of "i don't want/need to hear anything trump has to say" but also a lot of "trump didn't say anything about *insert whatever topic*" from the same people.

I fall into the category of people who never want/need to hear trump say much about anything about anything because its usually either a lie or just some dumb nonsense. I dont respect him as a person or a president and I certainly don't look to him for leadership/guidance on anything. Hopefully we are nearing the end of his relevance politically...then I'll stomach Biden for however long he lasts and just hope somehow someway we get a better crop of front runners for 2024.

If I won the lottery, I would quit my job and spend the rest of my life on a college campus collecting knowledge and degrees while enjoying the sights and sounds of a college campus. My lack of a PhD means nothing more than that I have not made an effort to attain one to this point in my life.

And there are a lot of people who have accumulated a vast amount of intelligence and degrees that don't know the first freaking thing about how to interact with other members of our society. It's the difference between "intelligent" and "smart". Some are varying degrees of one or the other, some are varying degrees of both, some are neither to any degree.

If Trump would have made a statement immediately to try to calm things down and to call for unity and peace then it would have had a chance to be perceived as not full of shit (even though it probably still would have been). But after the last two weeks of Trump actively fanning the flames to make matters worse, it would be obvious that a statement now to suddenly reverse course and call for unity and peace is nothing more than a cheap ploy to help his reelection campaign.

Hopefully we have four years of Biden trying to clean up after the Toddler in Chief and then we can get someone in there who will make some actual progress forward.

These questions are open for anyone to answer.

First serious dumb question. You are applying for a job and you have a PhD in let's say Music or Art History.
How is that going to help you land a job in a different field over someone who has experience in that other field and doesn't have a PhD?

Second serious dumb question. You have a PhD. You apply for a job. There are 27 applicants who are called in for an interview. You are one of the 27. All 27 have PhDs. Now what is your PhD doing for you?

[ousdahl]

1. (assuming you have no experience in the field yourself?) I suppose it's up to you to talk up the merits of your PhD and why those merits are worthy of weighing against experience in the field.

2. at least you're among the 27
