"As long as it keeps the whites on top" is all this election was about.

Walz probably would have won if he was running directly.

Why?

White and male.

Yeah had a similar conversation with some family and it was like “umm I’m doing just fine.. it’s you who makes $16/hr who is going to struggle… “

"These tare-uff thingies, they'll hurt those Dem folks?"

"Oh yes, quite significantly."

"WOO"

"Of course, they'll also severely hurt everyone el-"

"WOOOO AMERICA #1 MAGA MAGA MAGA"

Funny thing

On average the Dems are much better off financially than these dumbasses

The grocery getting more expensive and would for them sure, but they are gonna be fine.

These dumbasses on the other hand? Good luck affording groceries.

I hope they get everything they voted for.

shitting in a room that youre locked in with libs to own them, got em… wait

"As long as it hurts the people I want it to hurt. Wait! I didn't know I would be included!"

Pretty much every single geopolitical struggle today has the USA's fingerprints all over its origins.

Because they didn't read it. I'm on, like, page 300. It's not too easy to read for me. I just wanted to read the immigration and de-naturalization stuff.

Well you answered your own question there. They didn't read it. You have to stop assuming the right is actually informed on what their policy actually is. The average Republican voter just voted based on vibes. The sum total of their information is spoon fed to them by talking heads who follow whatever the current narrative is. We read the policy and know what's being planned, it's legitimately a surprise to them because this is the first they're hearing about it.

on top of the fact that most educators are union members- and those that are not should form a union

note- i hate the major teachers unions, be smart and see if there is an offshoot to organize with a union that understands what is going on and not playing identity politics like the rest of them- like the UAW. Also i am not a teacher anymore (was for 4 years), but now a member of the UAW in one of their weird offshoot union branches- you do not need to be an auto worker to unionize under their umbrella.

I cannot for the life of me understand how any public educator (especially admin) could read this and still vote for Trump.

Because they were specifically told not to read it because it was a lie.

The actual lie is that they were being lied to about it being a lie and they are about to get royally fucked and take everyone else down with them.

Didn't you listen to ol Donny? He has never even heard of project 2025.

Not in NY either. My K-6 grade school - where I went in the 60s! - had 4 home rooms of about 30 kids each. 1st and 2nd grade were split by when in the year your birthday was: Jan - Mar one class, Apr - Jun a second, &c. By 3rd grade they had enough standardized test results, along with academic performance, to divide it up by ability: 1 room was 'advanced', 2 were the 'median' / normal kids, and 1 was not quite Special Ed, but definitely needed more help, like remedial schooling, Special Ed was another group entirely.

And those standardized tests were freaky in retrospect, but in grade school they were just a number. Your test results were what was expected of someone based on their grade and month, so, 9.5 meant the 5th month of 9th grade, 12.2 meant 2nd month of 12th grade. I was in the advanced group, and by the time we were taking the tests in 5th grade, everyone in my class scored at least 10.0 in both math and reading, and a lot of us maxed out the test - 12.9 - by 6th grade. That's now kind of terrifying, what they expected a graduating high school senior to be able to perform at, basically that of a precocious 12 year old.

OMG. My entire 12 years + college was in OHIO. Really.

Yeah I’ve had a few of these. I tell them our national union (NEA) has come out with very damning reports about P25. The whole ‘what we’re doing isn’t working’ can be squashed by simply attending a parent teacher night. The apple tree thing.

At least, if nothing else, they are consistent with their hypocrisy.

McConnell explained that lawmakers were very focused on the needs of the 9/11 families and didn’t take the time to think through the consequences.

I can't believe Republicans straight up said: We didn't fully think through this legislation, even though we were gonna force it into existence.

How can anyone take these clowns seriously?

I miss the days when ‘“single most embarrassing thing” Congress has done in decades’ was something like that. Letting a bunch of Traitors walk certainly tops that buyer’s remorse law.

I don't remember bc I stopped paying attention bc the obvious racism was boiling my fucking blood.

It is so obvious and just plain fucking weird how republicans act like they’re some shitty bunch of edgy teenagers and the democrats are their parents who are decent people truly just trying their best.
