Here you guys go, no memes allowed in this thread . Seems like the best solution. Now those who want to, can chime in on political topics without contaminating other threads.
@ShawnOL said: Military, interstate highways, national parks, mail. Is there anything else they need to be spending money on?
Yeah yeah yeah. Until the first guy on TV is cutting off his Weiner or making an IED on live TV because the FCC doesn't exist. Also don't need the fda until there's listeria in all of our lunch meat or DHS until there's another 9/11.
Intelligence? Who cares? HUD? Nah, I'm sure that they'll be fine. And I'm sure they'll stay in their neighborhoods when they're not.
Oh, and I've never met an uneducated person who thinks we need a department of education, but that's just my personal experience.
These guys are just grooming us by normalizing and mastering public misinformation like Uncle Jimmy does with a 6 year old boy. Unfortunately, some people in this population are already too comfortable giving Uncle Jimmy groin massages when he visits. Wake up people.
Wunderbar.That's hysterical and cringey at the same time.
@d_blades said: I generally don't want any viewpoint in the education system. Just the facts good and bad would be great.
What is fact? Have you ever seen a tectonic plate or the big bang? I haven't. What caused the civil war? People in Mississippi still claim "state's rights" despite their secession convention records being completely contrary. Can't teach civics, English, science, health, PE, or even math without subjective content.
I don't think that anyone wants to see just facts. I think that everyone wants to see facts that they approve of and agree with.
@ShawnOL said: I figure states should fund their own education. They don't need a radical leftist ideology shoved down their throats in the red states.
Lol you live in a blue state.
Education is too big and too important to leave it to the states and municipalities alone.

I'm not real happy with much of the federal education mandates, really doubt states could do any worse. Education is failing, lots of money but poor results.. Please ramble on.

Lol ok. "I got no answers, I just want it different." Sure thing...
Hey ramblin man, who are you quoting?
Spineless politicians:
The House speaker, Mike Johnson, said last week that the government should release everything it has on Epstein’s case. Yesterday he retreated, saying he wanted to give the administration “the space to do what it is doing.”

Anybody notice there was no mention in either definition that of the other defined word. They are usually exclusive of the other.
Uneducated people are always saying shít like this ↑

FIFY
Someone who's been to trade school then entered a trade and learned the ropes from the more experienced is just as "educated" as Someone who's gone to college. Probably more.

Lol you're funny...something really rubbed you the wrong way. Be well, friend.

He said …something really rubbed you…😂😂😂
Oh I see what happened. I said I wasn't a maga because I was educated. Shawn's a maga.
I wasn't saying anything about you buddy. It was just a joke.
@VegasFrank said: Uneducated people are always saying shít like this ↑
I never say that. I usually say, "I can't believe all these dumbasses have all these degrees". Oh, uh, never mind.
Some people are just deplorable.

This is very bad:

The initiative, spearheaded by an administration that has already freely shared highly personal data about Americans in ways that have tested legal bounds, could put patients’ desires for more convenience at their doctor’s office on a collision course with their expectations that their medical information be kept private.
FBI data finds crime in the US went down in every category last year, including murder, violent crime, and theft; violent crime decreased 4.5%, with murder and manslaughter down 15%
This can't be true. Americans have bought over a million guns per month for the last 5 years. Doesn't more guns equal more crime ? Lol.
That's only because Trump fired the lady who puts the numbers together and replaced her with someone who would tell him what he wants to hear.
Remarkably stupid
The Trump administration plans to incinerate $9.7 million in birth control pills and other contraceptives stored in Belgium after U.S.A.I.D. was abruptly shut down.
Yeah, that is stupid. Send it all to Africa, where it's sorely needed.
