Just wanted to take a moment to wish a happy birthday to one of my favorite journalists Krystal Ball. I just think she and her co-host to an excellent job analyzing the political events of the day. Here they discuss Trump’s fascinating first meeting with Zoran Mamdani. Vivek Ramaswamy mut be so jealous. He spent years kissing Trump’s ass and tolerating MAGA’s anti-black racism, only to be kicked to the curb like yesterday’s trash and told to his face by baby faced MAGA college kids that his Hindu Gods are demons.
Meanwhile his fellow Indian American Mamdani stands up for working people, blacks and Palestinians, threatens to arrest Netanyahu and calls Trump a fascist and suddenly he’s the one who gets Trump’s seal of approval as the newly minted mayor of the most influential city on the planet.
But at least Ramaswamy’s a billionaire, something Mamdani will never be.
Pumpkin Person 
Never say never puppy. But Vivek made the money in patent trolling. Its kind of like making your money running a porn studio or porn website.
I see you haven’t apologised for your BS billionaire estimates and throwing your readers for a loop?
Where is the contrition? The shame? The modesty?
LOL! I responded to your critiques. Instead of rehashing that debate, feel free to just continue the comment thread where we left off.
Even the way you phrased it.
Something Mamdani will never be.
You know Vivek will never be elected to higher office right? Because hes very disliekeable.
Only assholes make a career out of patent trolling, weapons dealing, porn or charging tolls on bridges.
Yes he’s very unlikeable. I support intellectual property rights but some kinds of patent trolling is much worse than selling porn but I don’t know the specifics about Vivek’s business.
Pumpkin,
The two subscales I got in spring 2006 were:
Reading 702 Proficient
Mathematics 769 Proficient
The PSAT/NMSQT subscales never go past 760
If I took the SAT at the 2400 scale not 1600 scale then 1470 is the 44% percentile of college bound students.
It all depends cause I do think I took the PSAT/NMSQT and did get 1470 on it but then the got the numbers wrong on my report card?
Can you help me sort this out.
The PSAT/NMSQT score system make it so 500 on it is the same as the SAT – if that means 1470 on the PSAT/NMSQT is the same as the old 1994 to 2005 test what IQ equivalent would that be?
Or is it that I just took the 2400 one and not as high up as it seems?
kitty, if your positive about your critical writing 702 and math 769, then you had a 1471 out of 1600 score witch is a top 2% score.
2006 was the first year to introduce a 2400 scale with a third section. But as test takers were used to the old one, it would make perfect sense to express and remember their performance on the 1600 scale that had been around for so long. By the way a 1471 in 2006 – with 2 cr and math sections – more like a 1480 in 2005.
so yes the scale was out of 2400 but your score was out of 1600
