  1. As someone a bit removed from current school systems I have one question. Do they still have shop class anymore? Once again, the only qualm I have with what I perceive of the current setup is that I don't want my tax (state, local, and federal) dollars to fund The First Church of Whatever, or Hoity Toity Private School For People who think their superior? I want my money to go exclusively to the "We will cater to anyone" public school system. And yes you may have a choice, but if you prefer an upgrade it comes out of your pocket not mine.
  2. Under the old definition of conservatives yes, nowadays ????
  3. Sixth grade here. To make matters worse at the time my parents left that Friday evening for a job interview out of state. We stayed with relatives. I spent that weekend sleeping in their semi finished basement listening to a bunch of unfamiliar mechanical noises, very unsettling.
  4. This is where I come from concerning school funding and guidelines I believe we're about the same age and have been there. Leaving the decisions to the states and localities would deepen the divide in education quality between urban and rural areas. The rich communities and counties would get richer, while the inner cities and rural districts would end up fighting for scraps. Finding less funding fewer resources, less support for teachers, administrators and students. I'm very much against any public funding (state, federal or local) going to private institutions. Let's go back to the days that if a church or educational corporation wants to fund a school so be it. But don't take away my taxpayer money to fund your private school.
  5. Trump has never been a competent manager if you've ever done a dive into his companies. Even the few good people he's hired wind up leaving or getting fired. Very few have many positive things to say about him. But America seems lo love clowns, especially a those who in reality are pure assholes, drunks and theives
  6. True, I used to shake my head at family members who used to talk about "the old says". Now I wish I had some wisdom to ask questions about "family secrets" and such.
  7. Two questions, given the timing of Biden's meltdown, who would you have picked to be the alternate nominee. And please show your work. By the way, your side allegedly won the election. I'll bet you won't see Harris spending the next four years pretending it was rigged like our sore loser President Elect and his disciples
  8. As one old enough to remember Geraldine Ferraro and goes way back to liking Republican Margaret Chase Smith, the good old boy network is still in charge, unfortunately. Again I remind myself, it was as recent as the late 1970's when my wife was told by the general manager of the most popular station in Richmond, Va (think of a southern version of WJR back in the day) "A woman will never work morning drive on my station"
  9. Pam Bondi, come on down! You're the next Trump A-G nominee At least she has actual experience as an AG, even if it was Florida
  10. Another friend of Donald's
  11. https://bsky.app/profile/briantylercohen.bsky.social/post/3lbhyiv2xzc2g
  12. https://bsky.app/profile/emineirmakyucel.bsky.social/post/3lbhmkmeyjs2k I say bring it on, expose them all both Democrats and Republicants. Drain the swamp, because the incoming regime definitely won't
  13. Just another shot in the war against the working class. Just let them know they voted for this.
  14. If you oppose the king. Full force Autocracy.
  15. No more married women or unwed mothers. And if you're divorced...
  16. And it was basically because of FDR that Congress enacted term limits. The Republicans didn't want what would have basically a third term for Truman
  17. My wife was at UVa about the same time as RFKJr. He was a nutcase even back then
  18. Twitter used to be the best aggregator for breaking news, depending on who you followed. Then came Trump's fake news followed by bots and Musk. Now it's worse than Nextdoor
  19. Especially if they find themselves unemployed with no severance. Oh well, maybe they can find jobs cleaning toilets or washing dishes for $5 an hour
  20. And how is that going to reduce the price of eggs?
  21. Not anymore fishier than some of the theories your best friends have talked about the past four years
  22. It's common knowledge Trump promises payment but never delivers. It's also common knowledge that most of the people sitting behind him are recruited online thru places like Craigslist, which is probably used anymore by Trumpers. They also recruit thru Nextdoor.
  23. What about two of Musk's Starlink Satellites magically exploding just days after the election? Sounds fishy to me
  24. It’s all he has. A bad case of whataboutism.There is no known cure among Trolls
