Sheesh.
Here are the Q&As . . .

Miss North Dakota won.
Here are the Q&As . . .

quote:
Question 1, from judge Jordin Sparks: “There are multiple investigations into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia on the election. Well, did they? You’re the jury: guilty or innocent? And please explain your verdict.”
Miss Missouri, Jennifer Davis: “Right now, I would have to say innocent, because not enough information has been revealed. We are still investigating this and I think we should investigate it to its fullest extent. And if we do find the evidence that they have had collusion with Russia, then they should — the justice system should do their due diligence and they should be punished accordingly.”
Question 2, from judge Jess Cagle: “Last month, a demonstration of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and the KKK in Charlottesville, Va., turned violent and a counterprotester was killed. The president said there was shared blame with ‘very fine people’ on both sides. Were there? Tell me yes or no, and explain.”
Miss Texas, Margana Wood: “I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack. And I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and making sure all American feel safe in this country, that is the No. 1 issue right now.”
Question 3, from judge Maria Menounos: “One hundred ninety-five countries signed the Paris agreement, in which each country sets nonbinding goals to reduce man-made climate change. The U.S. is withdrawing from the agreement, citing negligible environmental effects and negative economic impact. Good decision? Bad decision? Which is it and why?”
Miss North Dakota, Cara Mund: “I do believe it’s a bad decision. Once we reject that, we take ourselves out of the negotiation table. And that’s something that we really need to keep in mind. There is evidence that climate change is existing, so whether you believe it or not, we need to be at that table. And I think it’s just a bad decision on behalf of the United States.”
Question 4, from judge Tara Lipinski: “A recent poll found slightly over half of Americans favored leaving Confederate statues in place, while others want them removed. Keep them or get rid of them? What’s your vote and why?”
Miss New Jersey, Kaitlyn Schoeffel: “I don’t think that the answer is to get rid of these statues. I think the answer is to relocate them into museums. Because we are truly defined by our country’s history, and I don’t think it’s something that we need to forget. We need to always remember it and honor our history of America because it truly makes us who we are as Americans. So they should be moved to museums.”
Question 5, from judge Thomas Rhett: “Given the evidence that concussions from playing football can cause brain damage, would you support legislation that outlaws full-contact football in elementary and high school? Yes or no, and why?”
Miss D.C., Briana Kinsey: “I do believe that I would. As someone who wants to go into the medical profession, I know how important it is to keep our kids safe so that they can have a quality education. And when they’re getting to high school and they’re playing these sports, they’re able to do so at the best of their ability and they’re not limited because they chose to play football at a young age.”
Miss North Dakota won.

Tell me this is from the onion

It's been many years since I was forced to watch Miss America, but haven't those questions always been kind of political? Or at least sociopolitical?

LOL
That's absurd shite right there

Is the stance of "Put all the confederate statues in museums" considered "toeing the liberal line" as the article that Drudge linked implies?
Genuinely curious.

Usually humanitarian issues such as hunger. I've never seen them fish for attacks on our president in the Miss America pageant like this

Questions if I recall were always related to some kind of world issue. Howe er, those questions were targeted and over the top ridiculous.
Posted on 9/11/17 at 9:23 am to Salmon
When will you realize, it doesn't matter the issue.
It doesn't matter how you HONESTLY feel.
You will always side with your side.... right or wrong.

More than ridiculous. They were lies.

He didn't say that. The press made it up and the rest of the press repeated it.

Trump should troll them all and make the questions for Miss USA - "Why do you think Hillary is a nasty woman?" "Why do you think the Fake News is suffering huge losses in viewership?" ...

The questions asked were as dumb as the answers given, so I guess it works.

World issues are almost always political. Really I only see 2 of those questions as being purely political. The rest just deal mainly with current events.
EDIT: Sorry, 3 questions were political. Still not that unusual.

Miss Mizzou answered perfectly I thought. The rest are dumb.
And why is Jordin Sparks a judge?

Yes he did. He said, verbatim, "there were very fine people on both sides." Google a transcript of his remarks or watch it yourself on YouTube. You can argue over whether or not he was making a legitimate point, but you can't dispute what he said.

Ultimately, everything is political; as politics (Fascist version) can determine the information that is available to the citizenry. NWS there are individuals who can rise above such propagandist info and find Truth on their own...directly from The Source.
Upon realizing the above, it is why/when I decided - as a responsibility of my debt to Faith - to get into the Political arena/opinion dogfight.
Humanity will be forced to educate themselves and know the Truth...or reap the unbearable and pernicious consequences of ignorance. Minute by minute...day by day...year by year...millennial by millennia. Eternal struggle...always existing in particular (parallel) Universes. Personally...just a matter of where/which one (subjective Universe) the individual becomes. (IMO). Called reaping what one sews; ultimate Justice...can't blame God for our free-willed choice, and the just consequence therein.
Miss America had best educate herself, if she plans on playing the game at that level.

He actually said "many sides," but you are correct otherwise. Apparently that line wasn't in the original drafted statement and he ad-libbed it.

I'm trying to think of something I care about less than the political opinions of beauty pageant contestants and their judges.
