Republicans: Dumb, Happy and Easily Offended

.

Cards Against Humanity performed polls for Business insider. Here are their results:


Would you rather be smart and sad or dumb and happy?




Republicans who are offended by Black Lives Matter are the same Republicans who think people should not be so easily offended.




Republicans who believe in free speech are the same Republicans who believe athletes should be prohibited from sitting down during the national anthem.

No shock here. Of course, Republicans are too dumb to possess self-reflection skills. Of course, there are Liberal questions too. You'll have to go to the link to see them.

Chocolate and Pecan are the only choices for me. I can't swallow a bite of what the Republicans are serving. Send them all to a luncheon of rump, served cold on a bun.

extend a southern welcome and a slice of pie, coconut or pecan, mother's specialties. If you want a whole pie, pre-order and pay for delivery or come on by for pickup. Supply is limited snark

7. The take on Actor salaries and CEOs is BULL SHIT.

<Nearly half of the liberals who think it's fair for movie stars to make millions of dollars a year think it's unfair for CEOs to make millions of dollars a year.

The Cards Against Humanity folks concluded: "In other words, CEOs = faceless, evil conservatives. Movie stars = cool liberals I want to be friends with.">

A highly paid actor makes what, 10 million + points for a film, or collects residuals like Jennifer Aniston does for Friends? Clooney made the most because he sold his tequila company.

A highly-compensated CEO is taking 10s of millions out of publicly-held companies every year, not to mention stock options, or their absurd golden parachutes when they get the boot.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/12/21/highest-paid-ceos-2018/38756663/

for instance:
2. Frank Bisignano

• Company: First Data (FDC)
• Annual compensation: $102.2 million
• Company revenue: $12.1 billion
• CEO pay vs. median employee salary: 2,028x


It is not proportionate.

It also doesn't help to live a cloistered life, where they just hang out with like-minded people.
