    Oh yeah she has had quite a few less than stellar responses. I have even seen some people respond to criticism of her that she must be really smart since none one can disprove what she says when she said she answers really poorly to some of these questions . Like the one time someone asked her about when she was a lawyer did she really blame the preteen girl for enticing her rapist into having sex with her. Yes there are reports of video of her laughing about that comment somewhere and her successful defense of the rapist using that line of reasoning.

I'm sure MOST of us have a higher one.. and I was re-certed 2yrs ago, due to some .orgs I have been a member/fellow of for decades. BUT I use my smarts to: help.. teach.. inform/reform... invent.. not swindle people.

      IQ really has nothing to do with common sense or any other of what are called social graces. You can be the smartest one in the room and still be a klutz that doesn't know how to pour coffee out of a coffee pot. Or as they also say pour urine out of a boot with the directions on the bottom of the heel. Plus after actually watching her debate performance in the last election I would question the actual testing of her IQ.

          Yes i do realize according to them the intellectual capacity surpasses anything because it gives those with the intelligence the ability to reason if what is being proposed or done is worth their effort and support. Not whether it is actually something that is needed or would be beneficial to all concerned. You know kind of like when Shillary decided to dismiss anyone that did not support her as the next president as one of the deplorable masses.

                  Trump Said This Wall Can’t Be Climbed. Professional Climbers Say He’s Full of Sh*t
                  President Trump claimed that a fleet of champion climbers tested his border wall. The sport’s top athletes have no idea what the hell Trump is talking about.


                  “We have, I guess you could say, world-class mountain climbers. We got climbers,” Trump said beside a newly finished section of the barrier in Otay Mesa, California, which tops heights of 30 feet. “We had 20 mountain climbers. That’s all they do—they love to climb mountains. They can have it. Me, I don’t want to climb mountains. But they’re very good, and some of them were champions. And we gave them different prototypes of walls, and this was the one that was hardest to climb.”


                  The climber test, Trump boasted, is proof that “this wall can’t be climbed.”


                  The problem? The country’s top climbers have no idea what the hell Trump is talking about.


                  “I have never heard of any climbers ever being recruited to try and climb a border wall,” said Jesse Grupper, who won the gold medal in the men’s sport lead category of this year’s USA Climbing Sport & Speed Open National Championships.


                  “I absolutely have not heard of anyone testing sections of border wall,” said Kyra Condie, who currently ranks second among the nation’s women boulderers and is considered a serious contender for the U.S. team when the sport makes its Olympic debut in Tokyo next year. “It would even be hard to find any of us willing to do anything to help Trump and his efforts in any way.”


                  “Definitely no well-recognized U.S. climbers have taken part in something like that,” said Ross Fulkerson, a seven-time member of the U.S. national team who is currently ranked third in the country. “I haven’t heard of any climbers ever helping out with testing.”

                      Oh look the 4th stooge Shemp showed up

                      Professional Climbers Are Laughing at Trump’s ‘Impenetrable’ Wall Claims
                      The president claimed it “can’t be climbed” and was tested by pros, but climbers say that’s unlikely

                      President Donald Trump is so proud of his big, beautiful wall, which he claims is unscalable. “This wall can’t be climbed. This is very very hard, and what the panel does at the top, as I said, it’s structural but it’s also very hard to get by that panel. Plus it’s designed to absorb heat, so it’s extremely hot. The wall is, you won’t be able to touch it, you can fry an egg on that wall,” Trump told reporters at a ceremony unveiling a newly built section of the wall in Otay Mesa, California earlier this week.
                      In fact, the president claimed, the government enlisted professional “world-class mountain climbers” to test different wall designs and evaluate which would be the toughest to scale. “We have, I guess you could say, world-class mountain climbers. We got climbers,” Trump said. “We had 20 mountain climbers. That’s all they do—they love to climb mountains… They’re very good, and some of them were champions. And we gave them different prototypes of walls, and this was the one that was hardest to climb.”


                      But actual professional climbers tell a different story. Not only do they doubt that any professionals, let alone twenty of the top mountain climbers in the game, would aid the Trump administration in a task like this, they also say the wall would not be difficult to scale.

                      I wonder how long it will take for Mexico to build 32 foot ladders?

                          Never happen Darn FACTS Trump’s 2020 Budget Plan Slashes National Cancer Institute
                          The Trump administration's budget proposes a $50 million increase for pediatric cancer research for the next fiscal year, while cutting overall funding for the National Cancer Institute by almost $900 million. More Winning!

                          The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would see about a 12 percent reduction in funding, falling to around $34 billion. The NCI would take the biggest hit—$897 million—falling from $6.1 to $5.2 billion. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases would see the second largest cut, at $769 million, and the National Human Genome Research Institute would lose $80 million.


                          Further, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would lose almost $35 million from its cancer screening and prevention programs, according to the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN).

                            And the rightist/facists would hide the cure and only give it to the rich.

                              Re: Trump Biggest Whoppers

                              Five fantasies Trump is pushing about the Ukraine scandal – and the truth
                              Donald Trump’s fondness for conspiracy theories stretches back years, to his claim to have seen “thousands and thousands” of Muslims cheering on 9/11, his denial of the climate crisis and many other falsehoods.


                              Indeed, you can date Trump’s entry into presidential politics to his 2011 “birther” fixation, when he claimed Barack Obama was born outside the US. The 44th president was born in Hawaii and his birth certificate proves it.


                              Now, Trump’s taste for scurrilous and malicious untruths has come back to bite him. The US president is facing an impeachment inquiry that could remove him from office, precisely because of his relentless pursuit of conspiracy theories.

                              Here are the five such theories that lie at the heart of the Ukraine scandal:


                              1. Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor, to shield his son Hunter
                              This goes right to the core of the impeachment inquiry, as it speaks to the “urgent concern” raised by a whistleblower in the intelligence services. According to the whistleblower’s complaint, Trump repeatedly urged the Ukrainian government to investigate the former vice-president, in the hope of gathering dirt on someone who stands a good chance of contesting next year’s presidential election.


                              Trump’s theory begins with a truth: in 2016 Biden withheld $1bn in loan guarantees from Ukraine in order to winkle out its then chief prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. The prosecutor, Trump’s story goes on less accurately, was busily investigating Hunter Biden, the vice-president’s second son, who was a paid board member of a large Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.


                              Two and two makes five: Joe Biden, Trump concluded, was corruptly interfering in Ukraine in order to protect his son.


                              There are problems with this narrative. The Burisma investigation was dormant when Biden pushed for Shokin to be fired. And Biden was not alone in wanting Shokin out: several European governments and authorities including the IMF also pressed for his dismissal, because of his dire record on fighting corruption.


                              2. Hunter Biden was up to his neck in corruption
                              There is no doubt the younger Biden’s appointment at Burisma in April 2014 was curious, to put it politely. He had no expertise in the gas industry and it is hard to avoid the thought his main attraction was his bloodline.


                              But the move was not illegal and his father has stated that the pair never discussed business. In May, the then prosecutor general of Ukraine told Bloomberg there was no evidence either Biden did anything wrong.


                              Then, as now, there was no law or regulation preventing children or other relatives of powerful public figures pursuing lucrative business opportunities.


                              Ask Billy Carter, brother of Jimmy Carter; Hillary Clinton’s brothers, Tony and Hugh Rodham; and George W Bush’s brother Neil. As Vox has pointed out, all raised eyebrows by engaging in business dealings when their relative was in high office. To that list you might add three other presidential children: Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka Trump.


                              3. The whistleblower is biased
                              Trump has repeatedly smeared the individual he calls the “so-called whistleblower” and “#FakeWhistleblower”, questioning his or her patriotism and motivations.


                              A whole new conspiracy theory has emerged. Trump has tweeted a link to an article by the rightwing website the Federalist that suggests foul play on the grounds that Andrew Bakaj, the whistleblower’s attorney, interned for leading Democrats Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.


                              Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior adviser, told Fox News Sunday: “I know the difference between a whistleblower and a deep state operative.”


                              The truth is, very little is known about the whistleblower’s political beliefs. The inspector general of the intelligence community, the first to receive the complaint, did find “some indicia of an arguable political bias”.


                              But he concluded that the allegations “appeared credible”. Furthermore, the general counsel in the office of the director of national intelligence stated: “We have every reason to believe that [the whistleblower] has acted in good faith.”


                              In a related theory, the Federalist also reported that shortly before the Ukraine complaint was filed, the US intelligence community “secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings”. The report, embraced by conservative media figures Trump is known to follow, has been debunked.


                              4. ‘CrowdStrike’
                              This is the most bizarre of all Trump’s Ukraine fantasies. To put it briefly: Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity company hired by the Democratic National Committee to look into a massive hack of emails during the 2016 election, was in cahoots with key Democrats and collectively framed Russia as the source of the theft.


                              In fact, the theory goes, the DNC server was not hacked by Russia but was hidden in Ukraine. The whole Russia line was a ruse to besmirch Trump and help Clinton.


                              There are so many fallacies in the theory it is hard to know where to begin. There is no one DNC server and it is not hidden in Ukraine. Russia was confirmed as the source of the hacked emails by US intelligence agencies, the justice department and the FBI.


                              On Sunday, Trump’s first homeland security adviser, Thomas Bossert – no deep state Democrat he – told ABC the idea Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in 2016 was “completely debunked” and “has no validity”.


                              5. George Soros is behind it all
                              Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York who is now Trump’s personal lawyer, has repeatedly touted the idea that the billionaire philanthropist was the financier and mastermind behind Democratic dirty dealings in Ukraine.


                              “George Soros was behind it, George Soros’ company was funding it,” Giuliani told ABC, referring to the related conspiracy theory that Ukraine colluded with Clinton.


                              Soros has been a favorite target of virulent rightwing conspiracy theories dating back to the early 1990s, many with antisemitic undertones.


                              The Soros-Ukraine narrative has been widely discredited. An investigation by the Daily Beast found it to be “flimsy” and based “almost entirely on innuendos”.
