News theory: The REAL Reason Trump Fired Comey

[juleswin]

Here is another good one from Stormcloudgathering. In this video, he makes the case that the Comey firing was a head fake by the Trump admin to distract his political adversaries and also to dismiss a potential dissenter in his cabinet. The latter theory which I don't believe was supported by the theory that Comey had a potential to investigate Trump and his pedophile friends and because of that he had to go.

Hopefully this thread gets 1/100 the attention that thread started by the troll about some silly high school drama has. Just kidding, this is RPF after all

I heard from a very wise man that your IQ can be so high to the point where you over analyze everything and can't think straight anymore. He told me that intelligence is a circular spectrum where the smart can be as dumb as the stupid when analyzing things like the news.

So remind me again, how high is your IQ?

Low 130s

Low 130s

Someone with a high IQ wouldn't have to guesstimate. J/K. Carry on. Snark off.

Well I took a IQ estimator test a while back and got mid 130s. One of my friends is 132, and I am definitely a little smarter than him.

As with many theories on Trump, this one may give him more credit than is due. Is he really playing 36dd chess, or is he just shooting from the hip?

As far as distracting from the war agenda, is there any need for that? All the media does is praise him when he engages in aggressive foreign policy.

That is truly amazing. I am no dummy myself but I don't think my IQ is anywhere near 130. But I am content with what I have no matter what anyone else says about it . Btw, the requirement for joining mensa is an IQ of 132. So you are technically mensa material

Anyway, now can you use some of that brain power and analyze the video I posted. One to two dismissal sentences just doesn't do it justice. Thanks

Yeah, a couple of points in IQ can make a huge difference. It's usually apparent even to the casual observer. Your friend probably couldn't take a course in Partial Differential Equations, Quantum Mechanics or Relativity. Hell, I bet he couldn't even pass a basic physics course in Electromagnetism or Thermodynamics.

What are you talking about? give Trump what credit? Trump administration is not Trump. Certainly he is not smart enough to think this far ahead but hisis handlers may be the ones making the decision.

Distracting the war weary public is always a good move when you plan on war. The media is with Trump, it is the pubic that needs to be distracted

One of the alternative explanations for Trump firing Comey is that he got personally angry and pulled the trigger. That is from the hip.

Looking at complex motivations is giving Trump credit, perhaps more credit than he is due. Maybe this firing was more analogous to him firing off a 4am Tweet.

He quit community college. His older sister is a doctor. His older sister studied for the SAT for months, he didn't study at all and went to the test high and beat her, she was SOOO mad.

He also took his IQ test high, so it's possible his "sober" IQ is only in the high 120s.

[kpitcher]

Finding out your actual IQ can be annoying to get around to. I'm a member of Mensa by using SAT scores. However I've never taken an official moderated test to know what my IQ actually is. From all the various dumbass things I do I'm not sure I want to be officially tested

[paleocon1]

I figure Comey got booted for being a lying weasel owned by the Clintons.

At least, he unlike Trump had the moral courage not to donate to the Clinton election campaign.

Those abilities have little to do with IQ. I'm not a big fan of the concept of IQ. I've taken the tests, even some online and IMO they are ridiculous.

Took one sophomore year in high school. My douchebag guidance counselor refused to allow me to see the result, but she left the room with the sheet right there. The only number I caught was "152", but I honestly have no idea whether that was the IQ. Might have been another measure... I just saw "<something I cannot recall> score: 152". I've wondered about it ever since. No way I have an IQ that high, as I am basically an idiot for all intents and practical purposes.

But I've had similar results on computerized tests, only the numbers were higher. But the part that tipped me off that they were a load of crap is that I'd take them over and over, each time the score going down. So it might start at 180 and by the time I was done five times it was down to, say, 125.

The simple fact that I'd take the same test that many times pretty well proves that I am nothing better than a garden-variety moron.

Oops... time to pen the chickens... getting dark out.

I bet there's not one trump lover who doesn't think his IQ is in the 130s...

There could be a middle ground.. he is playing 48dd chess but uses his hip to rearrange chess board instead of hands

ahem... "than he." ("Than" is a conjunction in this case, not a preposition.) Carry on.

[LoveRonPaul]

If you expect people to believe such farfetched things, you need to provide a lot of evidence in support of it. I don't see the evidence here, sorry.

You're stuffy.

But English is a living language, and the traditional view of “than” has shifted. Usages like “than him” are no longer regarded as incorrect – merely less formal.

This often happens. Over time, a natural usage tends to win out over an unnatural one, and to many people, “than he” is stuffy and unnatural.

It's called "too smart by half". I've never been very fond of measuring IQ, or holding much worth in people who can successfully navigate education systems. Practical application of knowledge is wisdom to me. Most people don't have it. I'm still trying to figure it all out myself, so I don't suggest I'm any better but you are completely correct that most people don't have a clue no matter the intelligence ability.

I think the biggest problem with people is summed up in the Charles Bukowski quote.

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence"

I know a lot of people who think they are smart and it's just confidence and arrogance. Most people I know who I consider wise are the ones who patiently evaluate things and can say they just don't know.

Who has the highest average IQ?

1. Ethnic Jews
2. Asians
3. Caucasians
4. Negroes

That's the most plausible explanation IMO.

I don't see much of a rationale here (though lots of rationalizations from both Trumpkins and Dems trying to give it a spin).

I think it's pretty obvious why he got fired. The Man Himself even said it was because of the investigation that was definitely happening or not happening:

I didn't hear him say that he fired Comey because he was investigating him. If anything, I heard the exact opposite. Then again, if people are saying that he did not fire Comey at the start of his administration because it would seem like he did it because he was investigating him, why then would he wait 4 months, fire him and just say that is why he fired him?

Trump is stupid but come on, he is not that stupid. I think he is trolling the public the way Obama trolled the public with his birth certificate. There is no Russian connection, there never was and they never will be a Russian connect. The CIA, NSA, FBI and MOSSAD will choke him to death if he tried aligning himself with Russia. Its a head fake, keep your eye on the ball not the head.
