Not in the way that’s normally meant, given that they don’t get along with the Chinese government. I know the Epoch Times is very much anti-China propaganda.

Definitely not, as @chenille says. Falun Gong members are persecuted in China and Shen Yun performances are banned. Shen Yun is anti-communist China propaganda. Falun Gong is a cult, but that doesn’t make it ok for the Chinese government to persecute its members.

Falun Gong considers itself pro-China, in the sense that the PRC is a temporary aberration in the scheme of things.

Its just that their vision is basically the same as the CCP’s vision, only with themselves as the court of the new Emperor.

Given the chance, they would cheerfully be far worse than the CCP.

Wait, was that an assumption that CEOs are by definition highly intelligent? Because I have some thoughts on the matter.

Hmmm; Sappho, Hypatia, Aphra Behn, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie, Katherine Johnson, Rosalind Franklin and Vera Rubin, among many other forgotten brilliant women would like a word …

Strange that women can do great things when they get the chance, huh? It could simply be that people have less chance to exhibit variability when you keep them locked in the kitchen. But of course all differences must be inherent and independent of culture to justify the phony meritocracy these assholes use to celebrate themselves. :unamused:

That “variability hypothesis” chart reminds of IQ tests that are artificially skewed to favour white, middle-class and higher males.

Pathologically greedy, larcenous, scam-kings are concerned about a lower-level member of that club:

(excerpt) [Jared Kushner’s] Affinity Partners has responded with a statement of its own denying any involvement or knowledge of the affair. “Today we learned from media reports that a former Serbian government official with no connection to our firm allegedly falsified documents related to the landmark designation of the Belgrade Square project,” it read. “We will review this matter and determine next steps.”

Next step: Tap dance.

Fuck you, Comey. You’re part of the reason he got elected in the first place.

ETA: and Comey is still a coward. He took the post down after conservatives started giving him shit.

You mean conservatives like Posobiec?

Huh. I wonder what’s changed.

The other thing is that Noem already got in major trouble for misappropriating (stealing) $190,000 in South Dakota taxpayer money for personal trips and expenses, including Fluffernutter injections for her cheeks. South Dakota let the embezzlement slide, so now Noem’s taken her grift to a whole new level, hoping taxpayers just don’t notice.

Now mind you, Homeland Security Secretary is a LOW LEVEL cabinet position that didn’t even exist 20 years ago. George W Bush set up the agency because he was asleep at the wheel on 9/11 and had to put on a show. As every American knows, TSA and Homeland Security exist mostly to harass Americans to take off their shoes, and occasionally molest them.

Have you noticed Homeland Security has never arrested a single white domestic terrorist? Have you noticed Homeland Security hasn’t stopped even one school shooting? Have you noticed how other countries have no TSA creeps and also NO terror attacks. Basically, the more Homeland Security fails to provide a rationale for existing, the more taxpayer money Congress throws at it.

The reason you can’t get healthcare and the reason 60% of Americans can’t afford basic necessities, as a new study released this week shows, is that your taxes are providing a luxury lifestyle for cabinet members who historically traveled by Amtrak and flew economy. Now they want Gulfstream V jets that are used by Saudi royalty.

You lose your Medicaid and Social Security, Walmart raises prices. You’re up at night worrying about your retirement. All so the people who shoot dogs in the face can live it up on your dime.
