Seems like Asia would fit right in with the Mensa crowd.

Mensa members should not have difficulty comprehending the simplicity of the Electoral College.

I cannot take credit for this gem:

Trumpers: Help! Our boat is in immediate distress!

Everyone else: All Boats Matter.

Gotta be a good 'sinking ship' joke somewhere

BTownCards · 09-06-2020, 10:07 AM

I heard it was a undercover Biden boat, is that true ?

It was a violent attack by the right !

How did they miss the opportunity to use that one ?

Could have had a thousand twitter heads retweeting it to a trend I bet. That would ah e been a great news troll.

It seems like the situation was there was a ton of boats and the wake from the big ones effed the small ones with their wake and that’s basically the best metaphor I’ve ever heard in my life

- “Did you hear a handful of boats sunk on the lake yesterday?”

- “No that’s awful. What happened?”

- “Well there was a Trump boat parade and...”

- “Wait....they were all Trumpers?!?!”

Yup, 2020 in a nutshell folks.

Astros19 · 09-06-2020, 11:33 AM

That was so funny, he made me laugh a lot.
The guy replied back to my post about the sinking boat with "OH NO" "ANYWAY" pictures.
I wish I know how to post pictures.

The crowd in the GIF above should be celebratory for the wry observation that accompanies it to land properly, no?
This one seems somewhat ambivalent.

Too much nuance for you.

Maybe a patient Mensa member can take time out to explain it to you.

ballhawkdawk · 09-06-2020, 12:46 PM

Do we take IQ scores seriously? I thought those tests were racially biased. I mean, that’s the only logical conclusion when whites outperform blacks... racism. Innate ability is a farce.

Jopeal · 09-06-2020, 01:01 PM

That’s Fax.
Personal responsibility is the only measure of intelligence...well that and conservativism.

I laughed at this.

TheFrenzy · 09-06-2020, 01:49 PM

Does anyone else remember back in the 1990s when Mensa began literally promoting Hitler's ideas on eugenics?

"MENSA . . . Kill All The Stupid People" - TIME

"Should the homeless, retarded and mentally-infirm elderly be exterminated to make room for smart people? Should the horrors of the Holocaust be ignored to rethink the old master race idea? Such an "intellectual cleansing" campaign was proposed in a recent newsletter for a Los Angeles chapter of Mensa, the organization for high-IQ people who should know better....Authored by two Mensa writers, one article asserts that Adolf Hitler's greatest crime was ruining public opinion regarding the concept of a master race, while a second says many of the homeless "should be humanely done away with, like abandoned kittens."

Maybe not the kind of group that I would go around bragging about......
