Melania Trump cuts bloated first lady payroll from Michelle Obama days

From the article you linked to..
"But the larger staff is likely due in part to Michelle Obama entering the East Wing with a more aggressive agenda and embracing initiatives like her Let's Move! child obesity campaign.
During the first few months of the Trump presidency, Melania Trump and son, Barron, remained in New York as he finished the school year"

Melania Trump cuts bloated first lady payroll from Michelle Obama days
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/20/melania-trump-cuts-bloated-first-lady-payroll-from-michelle-obama-days.html
You do realize that she doesn't do anything that the previous First Lady's did as Michelle Obama was an attorney, Laura Bush was a schoolteacher....and Melania is a model and college dropout.
Also, since she doesn't stay at the White House and is at home at Trump Tower caring for Barron, there is no actual need for staff to begin with. Truth being told, there is simply no bloat...its just that Melania as nice and polite as she is has nothing to contribute as a First Lady unfortunately. At this time, she's just a housewife. But the truth is that by living at Trump Tower instead of the White House....any savings is negated by having to use extra money for Secret Service

And here comes the excuses....lol

Extremely predictable. So Michelle needed more money/staff to do dumb things is what they appear to be implying.

It’s like 2 dogs fucking on the side of the road. You just can’t look away.
-

His point is that he's an idiot. The article is a waste of journalism. Melania doesn't need a staff because she was still living at Trump Tower taking care of Barron while Michelle was taking on initiatives that First Lady's generally do.
Not only that, I don't think pitting Michelle against Melania is really fair given their background. Melania is a nice and beautiful woman but she does not have the education and experience as previous First Lady's and that's not her fault. You're comparing a supermodel to an Harvard and Princeton educated attorney....ultimately, pitting them together just stinks to high heaven

But Melania is going to advocate cyber bullying is wrong.. as soon as she can get her husband to stop...

She wasn't an attorney for 15 years by the time her husband conned his way into the White House. ;)
Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988, and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on May 12, 1989. Following graduation, she joined Sidley Austin, a corporate law firm in Chicago. But a few years later, in 1994, while working for the Public Allies project in Chicago, Obama voluntarily had her license placed on “inactive” status.

Marking it as inactive is normal to avoid having to pay yearly dues for not practicing law.....you're rubbing two wet sticks together to try to make fire... ::)
As far as "con is concerned"...don't recall Obama needing the Vodka's help to get elected ;D

Merely pointing out that she hadn't been an attorney for many years before her husband screwed killary over and stole the nomination from her. :)
Obama abused his black privilege and manipulated an entire race of people into voting for him. He didn't need vodka, he needed free cell phones and "healthcare"

on a meta level blacks have statistically lower IQ's than other races, plus have smaller brains when the whole population is taken on aggregate
i was simply pointing it out because it may have something to do with his continual lack of being able to make a proper point

Glad you're keeping up with your studies at David Duke University you stupid fuck. There are no legitimate studies that even attest to that. You're a goof for believing that shit.

2. brain size is easy to measure and shouldn't be up for debate, not really:
Blacks have an average brain size of 1267 cubic cm, compared to Whites at 1347 cm.

Sauce???? ;D I'll ignore that for this.....
John Philippe Rushton (December 3, 1943 – October 2, 2012) was a Canadian psychologist and author. He taught at the University of Western Ontario who became known to the general public during the 1980s and 1990s for research on race and intelligence, race and crime, and other apparent racial variations. His book Race, Evolution, and Behavior (1995) is about the application of r/K selection theory to humans.
Rushton's controversial work was heavily criticized by the scientific community for the questionable quality of its research,[1] with many alleging that it was conducted under a racist agenda.[2] Since 2002, he was head of the Pioneer Fund, a research foundation that has been widely accused of being racist.[3]
Once again, you post something from a fucking looney. BTW, brain size has nothing to do with actual intelligence... ::)
-
i dont care about allegations, the measurements are right there before you, funny how you can't disprove them ::)
okay, how about this one. should be easy.
if there's no difference in iq why are blacks given an extra 200 or more points on their SAT scores when applying to colleges? whites are untouched, asians get about 140 points removed
hmmmmm THEY ARE SURELY JUST AS CAPABLE, HUH?
rofl
-
vince i can tell from your videos you're a fairly low iq fella. that's okay.
i don't understand why you seem to believe racial differences don't exist
whites are less violent than blacks, for example
whites are also more cucked than blacks
asians are smarter as a whole, and have higher iqs
...but in your world of rainbows and safe space unicorns you can't acknowledge any of that, huh?
i just never understood that sort of thinking because it doesnt affect anybody on an individual level. anybody can rise above the limitations of his or her race. but meta level differences are absolutely real
-
and why is your baseless accusation that the researcher is racist have any more merit than my equally baseless rebuttal that he's not?
just because he presented some objective data you find objectionable?
...please. you're just making yourself look dumb
-
ultimately i guess it doesnt matter whether you accept that there are differences between races or not. you're only dumbing down yourself. blacks are better at explosive movements than whites, why else do they dominate the nba? you don't see me crying about it.
but what you're doing is willfully obscuring reality and denying Truth, with a capital T. Anybody who does that is instantly relegated to my shit list.
enjoy your perfectly sterile, neutered existence black brah :)

"Claims of races having different intelligence were used to justify colonialism, slavery, racism, social Darwinism, and racial eugenics. Racial thinkers such as Arthur de Gobineau relied crucially on the assumption that black people were innately inferior to whites in developing their ideologies of white supremacy. Even enlightenment thinkers such as Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner, believed blacks to be innately inferior to whites in physique and intellect."

You have to love these ivory tower liberals.
Tell us Prime, What is the racial makeup of your community?
Why have you chosen to put yourself in a neighborhood that is overwhelmingly white if you are fighting against this supposed racist structure?
It seems you could do so much more good living among disadvantaged minorities and helping them out rather than hiding behind a gated community and sitting at a computer virtue signaling.

I'm unclear as to how your comments/questions have anything to do with what I posted. I've never made where I live a secret or why I live where I do.
How do you know whether I help disadvantaged minorities or not? I'll answer for you. You don't know shit about me or what I do.

You want to sit down on your old man ass in a highly segregated all white community and talk down to people vis-à-vis these wikipedia links and you are getting called out on your hypocrisy.
It's as basic as that.
You don't care about these minority communities. When have you ever done a damn thing for them?
You care about boasting your own fragile little ego and using them as leverage.
And it's gross and you are getting called out on your bullshit.

Let me explain something to you Prime.
I treasure our conversations.
I have learned so much from you.
And I have a deep reverence for yourself and your input on this forum.
But the political winds are most definitely blowing in the favor of myself and those of myself who share similar beliefs.
Quit putting yourself on this undeserved moral high horse and brushing us aside.
We do mean something and our opinion is valued.

For starters, you misinterpreted my original post that started this conversation. I looked up IQ differences between races merely because I was curious about it. I posted the quote from Wiki because it seemed interesting. It was never met to discredit any other person's post. And frankly, I don't see were it does. Nothing in that post denies the scientific studies which suggest there are differences in the brains of people of different races.
My personal thought about this whole IQ business is that since most humans only use a small portion of their brain's capabilities, brain size really doesn't matter. It seems possible that someone with a smaller brain for various reasons is able to better access brain power and could therefore show a higher IQ than someone with a larger brain, but does not take advantage of it.
Is it at all possible that you were looking for me to be contrary? -Maybe you're a little sensitive on this subject?
Facts:
I live in a predominately white neighborhood because I can afford to and because doing so has many advantages over living in a ghetto, such as better schools, more parks,
better police protection and other services. In my opinion, anyone who can afford to, regardless of race or religion is welcome to be my neighbor. The truth is that the some of few African Americans living in West Linn, OR are are sports superstars who are much better off financially than I am. It is me who cannot afford to live in a house next door to them.
I give a generous portion of my income to charities for people who are less advantaged, partially because I need the tax deduction, but also because I am aware that I am more fortunate than some other folks. And I believe in the saying, "There but for the grace of God go I" which means to me that very little separates fortunate people from unfortunate people.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-really-use-only-10/ (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-really-use-only-10/)
"Barry L. Beyerstein of the Brain Behavior Laboratory at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver explains.
Whenever I venture out of the Ivory Tower to deliver public lectures about the brain, by far the most likely question I can expect as the talk winds up is, "Do we really only use 10 percent of our brains?" The look of disappointment that usually follows when I say it isn't so strongly suggests that the 10-percent myth is one of those hopeful shibboleths that refuses to die simply because it would be so darn nice if it were true.
First of all, it is obvious that the brain, like all our other organs, has been shaped by natural selection. Brain tissue is metabolically expensive both to grow and to run, and it strains credulity to think that evolution would have permitted squandering of resources on a scale necessary to build and maintain such a massively underutilized organ. Moreover, doubts are fueled by ample evidence from clinical neurology. Losing far less than 90 percent of the brain to accident or disease has catastrophic consequences. What is more, observing the effects of head injury reveals that there does not seem to be any area of the brain that can be destroyed by strokes, head trauma, or other manner, without leaving the patient with some kind of functional deficit.
The past hundred years has seen the advent of increasingly sophisticated technologies for listening in on the functional traffic of the brain. The goal of behavioral neuroscience has been to record electrical, chemical and magnetic changes in brain activity and to correlate them with specific mental and behavioral phenomena. With the aid of instruments such as EEGs, magnetoencephalographs, PET scanners and functional MRI machines, researchers have succeeded in localizing a vast number of psychological functions to specific centers and systems in the brain. With nonhuman animals, and occasionally with human patients undergoing neurological treatment, recording probes can even be inserted into the brain itself. Despite this detailed reconnaissance, no quiet areas awaiting new assignments have emerged."

but bruh it's just their cultural upbringing, it doesnt matter that they have vast stores of natural resources they are unable to tap or limitless solar power which can actually be profitably used to power entire cities, nooo it's the culture and their shit continent that's the problem, ooooooobviouslyyy
:)
:P
lol
take all africans put them in europe, take all europeans put them in africa (leave the migrant scum), see how long each survives in their new location
new europe will die out whereas new african will become mecca of the entire world
and all that changes was skin color ;D
