The ACA is the only reason your HC isn't cancelled 15 seconds after you get sick.

Dude, It's not really the government. It's private health care insurance companies that buy off the politicians (on both sides) then turn around and treat us like pin cushions.

These guys watch the two of us argue all the way to the bank while dearleader builds a ballroom. Agree or disagree, at least Obama did something. The current admiistration....not so much.

Hopefully voters will reject such an authoritarian view but one never knows.

No examples? Really
At least Bubba took a shot and made a good point.

Gender unicorn?
Not exactly part of the curriculum. As long as students are not forced to participate or graded on the activity, it likely isn't the end of the world. Some kids and families might appreciated it.

The mere mention of gender issues is not grounds to fire anyone.

Community standards vary and teachers should read the room.

W- One concrete example. Not a word salad.

Again, that's your takeaway?

Chose to. They didn't have too. WE are all free to pursue a private education.

When one has to decide between paying rent, buying food and paying a doctor bill, the idealism goes out the window. Govern better.

Honestly Stan, is that what you really think? is it possible a smart guy like you would come up with that as the take away? Maybe I give you too much credit.

The American judiciary are, generally speaking, not partisan hacks. This kind of talk reminds me of Germany 1939. Many of you hate the comparison. In response, I would say, stop making it so freaking easy.

Stan, we all know there are two sides to every story. We all have to live on this planet. We can coexist or we can fight all the time.

I'm just not interested in fighting all the time. It's a sh!tty way to live.

That they work with minimal side effects? That's the truth.
You might consider a measles booster too. Since our idiotic government can no longer do public health, you should consider it if your vaccination history is unknown.
You can get a blood test at your next physical to find out if you're immune. If not, get the shot.

John is correct. American conservative Christians, generally speaking, don't like Jewish people much but love Israel. Why? Reasons vary but typically they see Israel as part of their END of TIMES beliefs and integral in the second coming.

Because of this Israel gets a hard pass for some of the most heinous behavior on the planet. I get it, 6,000,000 Jews were murdered by people that turned over their government to a tyrant in the 30s and 40s and for that I respect the Jewish people and Israel. However, what that government is doing in Gaza is just wrong.
Before you get your panties in a bunch, I understand Muslim countries have acted just as poorly towards the Jewish people.
And yet every single American president, in both parties, has stuck their nose in it at the cost of billions to the American taxpayer. Go figure

Hitler or Stan

if anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice... everyone must know for all future time that if he raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.

Unlike the Democratic Socialist and Non Patriot Left, the last time I checked President Trump has not sought to have anyone killed except the murderous enemies of this Representative Republic.

Let's talk about TDS. In 2015-16, trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and people would still vote for him. Now I thought that was nuts, but it turns out he was right. Shot two US citizens in Minnesota, murdered them, and suffered zero political or legal consequences. That's TDS.

Why is that important? Because eventually he will do something so awful even those with TDS wont stay silent, but It will be too late. He may decide to scrap SS or medicare. He may decide to fire the generals and let Ai run the military. Who knows.

Congress has abdicated. All both parties want is privilege, money and sex orgies a la Lauren Boobart. The only thing currently holding up this republic is the courts, the 3rd branch of our government. Regardless if you are right or left, remember Trump and the oligarchs who support him are in it for themselves. They will turn on you. This may be our last chance to check presidential power.
