MAGA = government by force; Democracy = government by consensus
Ask him if he had eggs for breakfast.
When do teachers get a parade?
Barney's not available. You gonna do it?
Fascism invites this sort of thing. When truth leaves the room, authority steps in.
-Ergo, third party, No corporate money, no donations by anyone who makes more than $250,000. I'd be the first to vote for that. I'd be the first $25 donation too.
So Jenni, who exactly is going to arrest the police? The national guard?
#MeToo was right, no matter what snotbubble ideas brocasters promote.
Advice? We don't need no stinkin' advice.
He threatened to abduct a governor. No matter the context, it's criminal.
"Strength through fear"??? If that were true, we would be hearing "Hey Vlad, withdraw or they're in Nato." War would be over in a week.
Quite easy for you to say. You're not there.
Press: Make Ill Douchebag answer the question of why call them up now and not Jan. 6, 2021!!
My time as a classroom teacher has taught me the rule: proximity increases control.
I want my tax dollars to fund the National Endowment for the Humanities and its grants to our states, not presidential golf trips, tax cuts for billionaires, immigrant purges or military parades.
Americans may be poorly educated for a variety of reasons, but they are very well-propagandized. The anti-tax, pro-gas/coal, anti-science, pro-gun, and just plain preposterous conspiracies have left large groups of voters not knowing who or what to believe in. Thus, nonvoters.
If it's dirty, then spend some of that tariff money and clean it up.
Ask yourself, with all the outreaches and all the registration drives, why did they never register? They had plenty of easy, easy chances, yet they didn't. They thought they had nothing to vote for. Trump gave them that.
Who's paying you?
Why didn't they register and vote? Could it be that they couldn't reconcile between what they want and the choices before them? Or maybe they just were too lazy to do the research required to think for themselves?
It's not the D's message. It's not the economy. It's certainly not Trump himself. I think maybe we just simply overestimate our ability to resist bias?
Did you think that hate and racism was just going to disappear that easily?
I have a co-worker, who has a side business which competes with a Chinese company, told me he voted for Trump because of the tariffs, but he "didn't care about all that other stuff". To my detriment, I didn't tell him that "that other stuff" includes a lot of really, really bad things for us all.
So where would we be if Harris had gotten a few more votes? Would the war in Ukraine be settled now? If we had continued to arm Ukraine, would Putin eventually run out of men and missiles? I think we would be a lot closer than the right is willing to admit.
Those dead Ukrainians he is talking about, they are on Trump's hands. He thinks personal relationships are all it takes to manage world politics. He is wrong, and so were we to have believed in him. This should be America's line in the soil.
Mundus sine Caesaribus
But this free airplane is a great deal!
...as is your bitching and moaning about his bitching and moaning... and so on...
"new era"= government-sponsored grift and extortion.
I taught school for 35 years. How many times do you reckon my name has been "mentioned in negative context?"
You would have them walk out on the street and shake their fist at the missiles and drones? Go ahead- you first.
Ah, the wringing of hands. That'll do it.
440 cubic inch (7.2L) V8 got about 10-12 mpg and very primitive emission controls. Hope you're bringing gas money. 700 miles = 70 gallons @ 3.25/gallon = $230. With what you're spending on gas you can rent a newer car, keep Michigan's air cleaner, and have just as many plugs.
"I don’t understand why anyone would decide to transition into a STUPID woman." Who are you to call anyone stupid? And what of those who transition into SMART women?
Time to develop a "Milk Safety Testing Kit", using... science.
It isn't a "phenomenon" at any level, Ivan. If a high school or college teacher attends the same demonstration as his or her students, it's by choice, not by invitation.
In 35 years I have been invited to childrens' soccer games, music recitals, birthday parties, afternoon fishing expeditions, track meets, etc., etc. I have never once myself or seen another teacher invite a student to a political demonstration of any kind.
I don't see why. Palestinians/jews, Ukrainian/Russian, Christian/Muslim, on and on. There will always be land and culture disputes, i.e., there will always be politics. That is good and as it should be. Teachers' task is to encourage students to think for themselves.
The longer a person teaches (35 years in my case), the more I am struck by the fact that there is no such thing as neutral. Politics and religion will always be tribal.
There is no "bringing politics into the classroom", because politics are already there, even in primary grades. Teaching is a matter of "parting the waters" through the prejudices that students already have.
Fluoride, in small, metered amounts, improves tooth enamel. Scientists knew this before it was introduced in Grand Rapids water for the first time in 1945. No cities in our nation allow the amount of fluoride that could produce the effects that Kennedy is talking about. This is a con job.
I live in Grand Rapids, near a high school. Taught 35 years in public schools. Sometimes a job requires a split second decision which may have lifesaving or lifetaking consequences. We need to revisit the legal concept of "qualified immunity". These incidents show the need.
Miller would just be another self-loathing jew if he wasn't elevated by his boss. No racism, no anti-DEI, no deportations. That's the key. Vote blue.
This is something you are taught from a young age.
Those third graders wearing masks then are in middle school today - because they wore masks in third grade.
Well, not exactly nothing. In 2018 Trump was hesitant to pay homage to Putin's Russia because he did not wish to show any indication that they helped him get elected. Today he has no such inhibitions, thanks to all you yahoos who believed his lies and voted for him.
“As we did in the Welles Declaration in 1940, the United States reaffirms as policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin’s claim of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, 2018. What has changed since? Nothing.
Gentle readers, I give you government by pissing match.
I have learned to disregard any statement that begins with "everybody knows...". Especially from this guy.
Do what the other side did for 60 of the last 125 years; whatever you can to delay, obstruct, derail would be good for America.
A deal with a man who cannot be trusted is no deal at all.
77 million Americans thought a narcissistic, science-denying, arrogant, power-hungry rich boy would make a good president. What can go wrong?
He thinks that's what he's here for.
Every high school teacher has seen jocks bullying nerds. It's exactly the same thing. Voting for jocks (and not necessarily athletic jocks) is nearly always a mistake.
Any time someone begins a post with "common sense", what comes next is wrong. Every time.
Tell the moron that if he thinks it's so important he can stand in front of 30 coughing, sneezing, sweating, talking, yelling, wiggling children for 6 hours a day during a deadly pandemic five times a week for two years, he's more than welcome to have at it. Not me.
"God" (or their version of it, anyway) is the only voice that matters to many Americans. "God" has his own propaganda section and many, many people are taken in by it. Same as the last 1500 years.
Sign, sign Everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery Breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign?
How long did it take them to figure out how to get the wrong guy to the wrong country?
How are you a doctor if you don't know how to write a properly punctuated sentence?
That's not a deal, but a good old-fashioned shakedown.
So apparently we "all" don't know where we are headed. Where the hell are we headed? It doesn't look like anything that will help average Americans.
The world is watching, Don. They're looking down. At us.
What did that chuckfuckle sell before he announced these tariffs?
"Well, our neighbor didn't get vaccinated and he's fine."
I'm convinced that Biden was not the best candidate to run against Trump, but I'm not sure anyone could have done better that close to the election than Harris did. Biden screwed his party by waiting, but I don't think he did it purposely. Nearly every man thinks they are superman.
You all see what you did?
Are you surprised?
No surprise, many closed private prisons are now opening up as for-profit ICE "Detention Centers". I think anyone who seeks to profit from the pain of others is evil.
Throw the bum out.
“And so it was necessary to teach people not to think and make judgements, to compel them to see the non-existent, and to argue the opposite of what was obvious to everyone” Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
How do you see the future evolution of democracy unfolding?
Universal Health Care, Universal Child Care, Paternity and Maternity Leave, well funded education, social security, medicare, medicaid, TANF, on and on.
It's the WSJ, but nice try.
Hardly.
Who has the "mind virus"?
Give me a choice between Ukraine and Russia. Come on, I dare you.
We will never see them again because they will fall out of a window, and they know it. They know the wrong things.
Ok, so what if I smear shit all over one?
"The only thing left that could protect you???" You think so? What planet do you live on? Not this one.
The thing about being in control of the white house, both houses of congress and the supreme court is that when you screw up, you really can't blame it on the other side. They are certainly trying. Let's go already. Skip that check, then cut your own taxes. Find out what happens.
Reminder: he is blissfully unaware of those things because you feed him every day and give him what he needs to stay happy and healthy. If you didn't, his existence would likely be far less blissful, but he is not aware of that.
Their acceptance of immigrants, or lack of it, may have something to do with that.
Nonsense. Define "persecution/intolerance". I'm a lefty. I don't tell anyone how to represent themselves or to live. I don't exclude anyone from our country. I look for ways our government can help us, not exclude us. Can say that for the far right?
First, election campaign reform. Without that, nothing else gets done.
I believe that an adult should have the right to represent themselves in any way they wish.
Someone should tell him that the Chinese EV company builds a car that charges in 5 minutes and offers an optional rooftop drone launcher.
Maybe, but the man who made a fortune from the car company sure did (and is still doing) plenty.
Neither is "executive immunity" an appropriate response to conviction.
Not a big fan of facts, I see.
D's would do well with Pete as a candidate. I say give him a chance.
After the people have 250 years of popular sovereignity behind them, FAFO, John.
The conversation about the reason for his vote took place shortly after the election. His comments on how his orders have increased was more recent. Agreed, I'm no fan of Trump or Tariffs, but meant the story as anecdotal reasoning of one trump voter with a niche business.
I agree that new technology which requires R&D beyond the capability of small companies is better accomplished with direct government funding, but private enterprise is fully capable of making many solar products that are not new tech. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
A friend has an embroidery company. Before last Nov. he struggled to compete with overseas companies. He voted for trump because of the tariffs. Because he sells product locally his business has definitely been helped by them. My concern is more global in how it raises prices on everything else.
Bad propaganda argument. EV, semiconductor and Solar industries included many startups in the US at that time, but not in China. Those US industries, needed protection if nothing else for US security. Those tariffs were different because they had a purpose other than simple coersion.
It's not insane if you're a Russian oligarch.
