Crystallized intelligence,

Fluid intelligence is the ability to use logic and solve problems in new or novel situations without reference to pre-existing knowledge. Being innovative!

Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use knowledge that was previously acquired through education and experience.

emotional intelligence is also important!

Did your parents model derogatory language? Were they bullies, too? Usually bullies were bullied themselves. Sad.

Perhaps. The health of our democratic republic depends on each American's active participation. It is our civic duty as free individuals to retain the right to enjoy our own unique pursuits of happiness. When a large amount of our population operates from a mindset that "things just aren't fair", ok, fight to make them fair and quit whining. There is no room in a democratic republic for a nation of narcissists. No, you can't be a vigilante and then post it on FB. You will end up in jail for breaking the law. You will not be a martyr or a hero, you will have a criminal record. And that's not smart. This is America, you know, the place where you can reinvent yourself? If you're not happy, run for office. Or better yet, start a third political party. That should keep you out of trouble for a while. Now's a good time to think about that. Here's your second chance.

We witnessed an i**********n on J*** 6th and the fragile Democratic Republic you spoke of has been breached and I fear for our future. If lawlessness and anarchy overrun our constitutional values, this great country of ours is surely doomed. I would recommend that you read the new book published by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch (oddly enough a Trump appointee) entitled, "A Democratic Republic - - if you can keep it". He very cogently explains how our system of government was designed to work and it takes an educated and well informed populace to make it succeed. The growth of the Information Society and the ability of individuals to gain a platform for their ideologies allows crazies and looney-toons to preach conspiracy theories and distortions that confuse those who feel disenfranchised or c***ted to join forces with the devil.
I remember how this country fought during WW11 and there was no division then and all Americans were united against the Axis forces and we won the battle. This battle is internal and that makes it far worse.

"It was John Adams who said: “The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people.” Clearly, the Founders’ passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incor­porated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence. The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, “How long will the American republic endure?” Lowell replied: “As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant” Herein lies the answer to the question, “Will the Experiment Succeed?” It can and will succeed IF the motivating “principle or passion in the minds of the people” is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based."

Well, technically, "Beemer" applies to the BMW motorcycle.
My first BMW, 740i went well over 200,000 until she got arthritis and heart disease. I donated her as she was still running. The cost of ownership of luxury vehicles is exorbitant.
My second, the X5 went to 60,000 for me when I traded her in for a newer, smaller X1.

Love the brand. You know what they say, once you go BMW, you never go back.

Conformity, you mean like an F150? or a Silverado? or a Ram pickup? You know we all conform. It just depends on who's got better toys. You know that.....

Unfortunately, I don't agree with any of the psychological analysis. Most events analyzed were based upon the past history and behavior of Donald Trump. People can change. We Christians and those who change from bad to better God welcomes them.

Comparisons of Donald Trump's current moral performance, and achievements could not be equated with that of Hillary or Obama. My basis of judgement is upon the present achievements of Trump versus the present achievements of Clinton and Obama. Had Clinton or Obama made a difference for the betterment of the lives of people of all creed? If yes, how? But Donald did.

He elevated the b****s, Latinos, Asians, and women from the lowest status where they were before. released thousands of low level convicts, most of them are b****s. they were given job training and eventually jobs to start a new life. He brought world peace among the Arabs and the Jewish people, never done by any president before. He built border walls, to protecting the American people from the travesty of terrors, drugs, and immoralities brought upon by those people who the Pope wanted all to be assimilated in this country. Most of the American people have worked hard to pursue their life, liberty, and happiness.

Trump's capital economy, immigration, I know the Pope did not like it because the Pope wanted open borders for all people from the South and Central American countries. . The dangers it poses to this country if that has no control are massive. The drug cartels brings tons of drugs into this country to poison our youth and people. The convicts, drug addicts, and rapists have no limits and victimize the youths and adults of this country. Terrorists have no other objectives but to take over for control. But Trump wanted legal immigration. In every country there must be a law that protects its citizens. It is called sovereignty.

The president had minimized these crisis thru border walls that protected the American people. The president focuses on the welfare of interests of the American people instead of the world. He advised the world to doing the same. And the US is still committed to helping the helpless of the world thru the USAID, and various charities government , religious, and private industries. America does that all the time.

The analysis of this psychologist did not consider the changes and present achievements of president Trump. He was talking about him of the prior Donald Trump. He has changed. All Christians Pastors, advisors could guarantee that. He has been with the public service for 4 years, and had done to much that protect and advance the lives of the American people.

The past is over, and if we keep on repeating that over and over as a basis to judge him. If that is the case, anybody could never change no matter what they do for the better. But morally and ethically, Donald Trump has changed. And God knows that. Even God forgives the worst sinners when they repent.

Matthew 4:17 ESV / 11 helpful v**es Helpful Not Helpful
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Proverbs 28:13
You will never succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you.


I am a Christian and I believe God is more powerful, when it comes to judgement, than any human being no matter how many PhD degrees they got.

Of course psychologist don't believe in God, they think they are the best to judge people.
Those analysis are biased. Never in history, psychologists have material effects to lives of people in general. Their works must be more applicable in mental hospitals. This Psychologist thinks that the 75 plus millions of Americans who support Trump are radicals and no good.

And those who support Hillary, Biden, and Obama are the right ones? According to this Psychologist with PhD degree.

Unfortunately, I don't agree with him.

The beauty of the great American experiment is that we all get to disagree. We all get to believe what we want to believe and live in a peaceful country. We have the right to worship the God we chose without fear. The problem is that when the beliefs that some Americans have put the lives of their fellow Americans in danger we have to say that's wrong and is against the law. The President has many admirers who are good Americans. It's the ones who caused the r**ts who are giving the others a bad name. I agree that God will judge us all. It's up to good Americans to get our country back on track. Back to being civil and kind regardless of our differences.

She is brilliant, owns her own business and posts on Facebook on political and philosophical topics which she and her friends discuss without hostile arguments or profane/fowl language of any kind. She's just been banned from Facebook because her content doesn't meet their community standards; ie - conservative Christian.

I guess maybe Facebook has the right to ban her because of her content. It certainly isn't because of offensive language or meme's/pictures. But look, Facebook and Twitter and Google have reached a size and function which is akin to being a town square for the exchange of ideas and yes, politics. They are also world wide.

Do they have a responsibility for being somewhat unbiased? One can see that they do allow many things on their pages which to me would be deemed pretty offensive to many here and there around the globe. Why are they targeting conservative and Christian thought? Do they have the right to use their platform to stifle speech? It is exactly what they are doing.

Chaos and disorder have always been the result of such behavior in that it leads to forms of government which are oppressive and always fail. Is the banning of content by these three huge platforms un-American? Is their voice too big? Should they, being what they are, even have a voice?

They are also protected from liability as one would be if they espoused unbiased practices. If they can pick and choose who can be heard or not, should they not, then, be liable for the content which they DO allow? Unless this censorship is stopped I say they should lose their protections.

Perhaps you didn't realize the scope of damage a Trump presidency would bring to America.
The Tolerance Paradox explains what happened to your friend.

“We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the s***e trade, as criminal.” — Karl Popper

This demand that tolerance of intolerance be afforded in all situations is known as the paradox of tolerance.
Unlimited tolerance will lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

If you say that I am intolerant of your intolerance, you are correct. The tolerant are the ones who will draw the line. Those who uphold the laws of society get to say where that line is. The rule of law will trump the rights of the intolerant who cross that line. Welcome to your new reality.

Yes, that's what he said. By shining light on the darkness, evil is recognized for what it is and not allowed to continue. Deductive reasoning will then, help us point out that this is the precise reason we have political discourse. This is why we debate and enter wars to show that f*****t, c*******t and authoritarian leaders aren't good for a democratic state. I'm always amazed when a Trump supporter claims a democrat wants c*******m. It simply isn't true. We were victorious then and we will be victorious now.

Another history lesson:

By the first century B.C., the Roman Republic had endured for four centuries and ruled over millions of people around the shores of the Mediterranean. It was far from a perfect democracy, but the citizens of Rome had a real voice in their government in contrast to the kingdoms and autocratic empires elsewhere in the ancient world.

But times were hard. Decades of economic downslide, threats from the Middle East, and political infighting had left the Roman people weary of the plodding nature of their government. They were ripe for someone to take the reins of power and shake up the business-as-usual attitude of their senate.

Julius Caesar was a charismatic and unconventional politician who knew what the masses wanted to hear. He used his immense wealth to fight his way to the highest ranks of political power. The old guard politicians of Rome were horrified at his rise and did everything they could to stop him, but nothing worked. The more the establishment spoke against him, the more the common people loved him.

And so the masses cheered when Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in 49 B.C. and swept away the career politicians. He promised to shake things up and he did, but it wasn’t long before he proclaimed himself dictator for life. He was k**led on the Ides of March in 44 B.C. But by then it was too late. The structures of republican government had been laid waste and the voice of the people was silenced for the rest of the Roman Empire."

Insider:
White House was Warned March was Illegal
Trump’s Call to March Broke Promise to DC Police
by Greg Palast Special to Consortium News

Before Donald Trump exhorted the J*** 6 rally to march on the Capitol, the White House had been warned by the rally sponsor that there was no permit for a march, that DC Metro Police were promised there would be no march, and that such an unplanned march was dangerous.

As a result, the Metro police were stunned, undermanned and unprepared for Trump’s surprise launch of thousands of his enraged Trump supporters, some armed, on the Capitol.

“I mean, it was shocking. It’s something we advocated against doing for exactly the reasons that ended up playing themselves out,” said a high-level source inside Women for America First, the organization that held the permit for the rally. They spoke to this reporter on condition of anonymity.



Even more damning, the march Trump set in motion was led and promoted by ultra-right, violence-threatening extremist Ali Alexander, head of Stop the Steal. The Palast Investigative Team filmed Alexander, only weeks before the r**t, exhorting a crowd:
“Either they take Trump …[or] we’ll light the whole sh*t on fire!”
The White House had been warned about Alexander and his dangerous plan to move on the Capitol. The leaders of Woman for America First sent several frantic, angry text messages to the White House warning that such a march was both illegal and dangerous. “When Ali was putting up things about the Capitol on the sixth, [we were] screen-shotting that, sending it to people both at Parks and at the White House, a couple of times, like ‘WTF’!,”a organizer source said.

One series of texts between the sponsors apparently sent two days before the rally reads, “Did you see that Ali’s website says we are marching at 1.” The reply: “We’ve just had to up our numbers with the NPS [National Park Service] and we can’t say anyone is marching.”

Women for America First founders Amy and Kylie Jane Kremer, who have had a well-reported feud with Alexander and Alex Jones, the far-right radio host with whom Alexander had teamed to lead the march. It is credible that the Kremers would have tried to prevent their sworn enemy from using their rally to launch a march which would leave the group on the hook for violation of their permit.



The permit issued by the U.S. Interior Department, which has jurisdiction over federal parkland, says: “Women for America First will not conduct an organized march from the Ellipse at the conclusion of the rally.”

The Kremers have been feted by the president, and so has Alexander. That gave Alexander access to the front of the rally where Trump would speak. “Ali was running amok in the VIP section–it was d********g–saying we’re going to go to the Capitol. What the f***! We’re not doing a March to the Capitol! What a terrible idea to try to move that number of people all the way to the Capitol,” the source said.

The insider claims that Woman for America First was quite worried that they had no marshals to keep the crowd in line. “We did advocate against [the march] for all kinds of reasons. So, excuse me, it’s not a big stretch to say when you have a bunch of people heading that way, it’s going to be a problem.”

Trump said he's walking!
The first news that there would be, despite warnings, an illegal, uncontrolled march was at 12:15 pm when Trump himself surprised the protest organizers with his announcement.

The charge on the Capitol was set in motion when the President announced he himself would join it. “The announcement that he was going to go was news to us,” the insider said. “But then [Trump] said he’s walking! It caught our team by surprise and unprepared.”

Alex Jones stated on his podcast that he and Alexander were called by the White House just before the president’s speech and were told to prepare to lead the crowd on a march. “We had a legitimate deal with the White House,” Jones said in an InfoWars show filmed with Alexander after the r**t. “‘Hey Jones and Ali,’ literally, with Alexander, we were supposed to lead a peaceful deal.”

The White House has not denied the duo’s extraordinary claim, a claim consistent with events.

Alexander has been filmed cavorting with the white power group P***d B**s and yucking it up with a N**i displaying a giant swastika f**g in an online forum. Alexander has had a well-known fan in Trump who, more than once, reportedly referenced with approval Alexander’s uncanny resemblance to the late entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.

Washington DC’s anti-C***d laws required a complex separation of the crowd into groups of no more than 50 which would have been impossible to maintain.

Attorney James Lafferty has spent decades defending protests. Reached in Los Angeles, he said if Trump had launched the march knowing it was unplanned, dangerous and led to this mayhem, that would make Trump culpable of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” that is, grounds for impeachment. Trump was impeached on Wednesday by the House of Representatives for “inciting” an “i**********n.”

“It doesn’t matter that he didn’t call for or know the details of the damage that would follow,” according to Lafferty who hosts a radio show on legal rights. “He is guilty of the consequences.” The Senate will presumably examine this issue when it tries Trump.

GOP Teams up with DC Provocateur Alexander
As Palast Investigations reported on Jan. 8, the team’s Zach D. Roberts had discovered that both the Republican Party of Georgia and the National Republican Senate Committee had sponsored Alexander to lead the GOP’s get-out-the-v**e operation in suburban Atlanta in Jan. 5’s run-off for two U.S. Senate seats.

The Republican state and national officials sponsored the event promoting Alexander while he was calling for an illegal march — and weeks after our reports of Alexander’s violence-threatening screed.

The GOP officials who sponsored Alexander have not returned calls to explain their reason for teaming up with the Alt-right provocateur.

Alexander is, as of this writing, in hiding.

Do any of the replies you see here include that if and when Trump is charged with any of the claims levied against him such as s******n as example that Trump is afforded legal counsel by the US attorneys because the allegations fall Within the purview of his Presidency and there are serious unfounded allegations that must be proven, driven by much more than just a claim or opinion of such???

And now the hypothetical Trump poses a flight risk is added... ?? Adding drama as if needed given the serious nature of what stands begore us????
