tchookem

I could see any of them could doing it. Cruz is the only one that actually knows better, but it'll be awesome watching him awkwardly say it hoping to look "cool", but failing so miserably.

I predict... 1) "Let's Go Brandon" will still be a thing 2) Someone who should know better will say it... loudly.

Wanna guess how many "concerned" parent phone calls I've gotten because I'm trying to indoctrinate kids by showing CNN10 in class? (It's more than one)

Reminiscent...

GOING to be?

Thre problem I've always had here is that nobody ever wanted to set metrics that would trigger a response. Even in March 2020, I was asking, "Okay, so when do we call it safe to return?"... crickets When we returned in August I asked, "Okay, so when do we say it's time to lock it down again?"... crickets. Fuck.

And these will be the first people bitching about virtual learning or how their kid's education is suffering. This virus feeds on ignorance and selfishness.

All of this is correct, but I find it odd that people are bringing up virtual school as a response to Omicron as protection for children. I've not heard anyone in education mention it much less promote it... it's a red herring. Now, you do need to worry about virtual school as a response to teacher absences because that is a bubble that I'm convinced is going to pop. Your kids' teachers are going to get Omicron, and considering how few subs there are in the systems, schools cannot afford to lose teachers. My campus is already starting out the semester with teachers out (in addition to the vacant positions that have been taught by subs most of ther year). Campuses are having to get creative to find coverage. Pulling the EA from my room is a regular occurrence... that means SpEd and 504 kids don't get the services they're due. It's wrong, but the campus is left with no other option. So, if you want schools to stay open, you better also advocate for kids to be vaccinated and masks to be worn. Not for the kids, but for the teachers.

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but this has a definite Etsy more than eBay vibe. Others may know better though. Good Luck to your friend.

I can't tell who's more dead inside. I'm looking at the eyes, but they're both so soulless.

Huffines looks like the kind of grandpa that wears open robes and lets his balls hang out of his boxer shorts.

Did I just see two Huffines ads in 2 minutes? And is a Cowboys Super Bowl really part of his platform?

So I'm guessing she's much more responsible with her official account? How pathetic is it that a US Rep. has a burner account for trolling and pedaling conspiracy theories? Just like the MAGA-types around here... multiple socks just waiting to be suspended. Pathetic.

My school nurse was doing testing. I had to get swabbed a couple times this year and last. May want to check with your school nurse on the work days before the kids come back.

I'm sure they're totally gonna give that up now.

Why is Eric Clapton talking to my wife?

I sometimes forget how much younger you are than many of the posters on this board. I know that sounds condescending, but sometimes your posts come across as trolling and too often you're arguing alongside trolls. The reason I mention that is because this quote makes me think you're genuine open to learning and discussion. It also reminds me that you're in a place that many of us reformed conservatives once were. The things we're trying to tell you is that we've learned (based on experience and shifting perspectives) that changing hearts and minds shouldn't be your goal. It just ain't in the cards. Instead you should focus on preventing abortions. It's already been mentioned ad nauseam, but it boils down to education and opportunity (ie - actual sex education and easier access to birth control) Unfortunately, you're siding with (and more importantly voting for) people that consider outlawing abortions as the only way to prevent abortions.

Cue Immortal with "This isn't the Trump thread". It's his new schtick.

They're simple people that can only process simple solutions. Like building a wall to keep illegal immigrants out. Once a solution involves more than 1, maybe 2, steps... they're lost

That was before. But all this liberal backlash and cancel culture has forced him to become a "Trumper"

He was there when Obama tried that kind of thing. It didn't go super well for Obama. Maybe I'm too jaded, but I could see the right-wing hate machine prepping this guy before any meeting then spinning it after the meeting. This would all just blow up in Biden's face. All risk, no reward.

Or just don't take the call. I totally get not wanting to be part of a photo-OP. I guess he could have taken the opportunity to grab the president's ear and tell him how awful his policies are. I wouldn't do it, but I understand the desire to do so. But not this chode, he just had to show his ass. What are the odds that he has learned anything from this?

"Hold the light so I can see, not so you can see!"

He knows this already, but admitting his team isn't completely in the right would mean giving up the internet troll schtick.
