    Understood and I would agree... if we didn't have 30% of the population knowingly chosing the worst option possible every step of the way. I wish these people had been rolling the dice... better results would have turned up more often.

    This is my concern. I'm willing to listen to people that know more than me (there are many), but doesn't increased spread lead to increased mutation/variant? That being said, I hope everyone's optimistic predictions happen.

    No Rand Paul?

    I know he sees this "crowd" and feels negative emotions. I don't know if it comes with any sense of self-awareness, but I know it makes him miserable. I'm not proud of thinking this way, but I'm not ashamed of it either.

    So you think Trump had any clue who any of those people were before some think tank lackey told Hope Hicks to mention their name to Trump? You really think any of those people were Trump's choice? Thre point's already been made that you could have had any of those justices with literally any GOP president. You didn't go along because you had to, you went along because you wanted to.

    Before 2018, the only Dem I voted for was Lloyd Doggett... but keep trying.

    They definitely would have, but I'm also sure that had George lost 2 popular votes, he wouldn't have set himself up to lose a 3rd. But what does it say about where we're at that some Americans are gladly anticipating that possibility?

    If only the right could move on from Trump... more specifically Trumpism and the grievance politics that go with it. But here we are still dealing with this bullshit. He may have only intended to use the bullshit to gain power, but it's his movement now. If you want the "but Trump stuff" to end, then do your part to kill it once and for all. But you won't do that... you'll vote for him a 3rd time if you get the chance. Fuck! People didn't vote 3 times for George Washington, but they'll do it for Donald Trump.

    Just this very day, the thought occurred to me that Greg Abbott had finally convinced me that he was a shittier governor and a shittier person than Rick Perry. Then, like clockwork, Rick Perry is in the news again. I used to vote for these shitheels. Fucking fuck.

    Cruz was too busy seeking campaign contributions... no really.

    Did they have a stripper perform first? Was the rug electrified?

    You're going to get awfully hungry.

    As someone who had been giving the school the benefit of the doubt through this whole thread, I agree. That's all pretty damning.

    You're the one that was giving the middle finger to the UT diploma.

    It's easy to tackle several issues at once when the goal is to shovel money into open pockets versus solve actual problems.

    Not funny because I have a sense of humor. My vote has nothing to with my ability to laugh at Joe Biden. A lot of people bought into the bullshit early on. Biden took as an opportunity to make a pretty milquetoast statement against homophobia... so... funny?

    Corky was a decent person that didn't want to hurt anyone. Also, I assume his sister would have been involved in his campaign. That would have been just five with me...
  19. tchookem
    Funny?

    See my post above. If they can't blame it on the liberal media, they'll blame it on the school. Schools used to be the pride of the community. People might go to different churches, their preferred places to shop might differ, but schools could always be the common thread that united everyone in the town. Now right-wing brain rot has turned schools into just another bogeyman to be undermined. Nevermind that the adults in the school face the same dangers in school shootings... they're the ones creating the this mess.... and they're doing it on purpose.

    No kidding, I must have gone a whole 20 minutes earlier today without something funny coming on television, or Netflix, or Hulu, or a podcast.

    So now schools get to be held responsible for monitoring students' social media? Because if it were up to schools, nobody under 22 would be able to access it.
  24. tchookem
    The parents may have suspected, but how was the school supposed to be aware that the gun might be in the backpack? It's not like the parents had been acting responsibly through any of this.

    Great, one more thing to pile on top of educators' plates. One more way we can blame schools for something that is out of their control. Unless I'm mistaken, and the school had been tipped-off that something was in the bag, I don't know how the school or the SRO, or anyone legally searches that bag. This may lead to a thread hijacking, and maybe one day I'll start a thread about it, but we set our public schools up to fail. I think it's done with the intention of privatizing education. In this case it's just a happy accident (would you prefer beneficial confidence?) that their goal of not fixing gun laws shares the same space as their goal of fucking over public education.
