(5,101 posts)How about an orange suit to enhance his nice complexion and a prominent place in the country's most appalling prison?

(63,221 posts)I am sure it's in the low double-digits! I am just longing to see him publicly humiliated in some way. I suppose that is why I want him to go up against Avenatti. I think he's one of the few people who could really out-punch him and make him look like an ass. The rest of our candidates are too polite. True, they are more qualified, but face it, being most qualified doesn't seem to be pulling in the voters.

(5,101 posts)He will never release any IQ test results ! Assuming he ever underwent one, odds are the outcome may be far lower than he's claiming.
I do like Avenatti for the way he's punching Trump's big ass, however, I'd rather not see him running for presidency.
He is undoubtedly a good lawyer, pugnacious, with a clear sense of staging, but as a lawyer myself, this is not my preferred style, far from it. I like to work behind closed doors.
This said, I agree on voters attitude

(63,221 posts)I know, he will never submit to an IQ test because he knows he would come out looking like a loser!
I don't really want Avenatti for president, but I would love to see him primary Trump because I want Trump to go up against another tough guy and get his ass kicked.
I just don't want to see Trump abuse one of our own decent candidates. They will have to go in prepared for it.

Lying is the dominant ethic in this administration. The subtext seems to be that lying is okay. We know he's not healthy, and he talks wild sometimes, he slurs his words. I'm having flashbacks to the Reagan era, where we all knew he had dementia but no one admitted it.

(33,956 posts)I am not in Support of forcing any of our pols to prove that type of personal info to these fuckers. That is an offensive request.
Now an IQ test should be mandatory for this job. Thats not an offensive request.

(24,259 posts)A) she doesn't have to prove jack about what her ethnicity is. It's offensive, an incredibly slippery slope and I'm pretty sure unconstitutional.
B) Admixture (ethnicity) isn't 'soup' yet:

(13,903 posts)Indian Princess myths on both sides of my family, back around the GG grandparent generation. My sister's test showed just a small amount of NA and mine showed none. Mine did show just a bit of European Jewish, my sister's didn't.
Just had not read anything to explain why, though I just guessed it was the intervening generations.
Thanks for posting the articles.
