Do you though, because every post above you talk about pushing community education and disbanding DOE. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Again, specifically whatās your issue with TexasJeff and Goofyboyās list of things the DOE does since you know they donāt deal with curriculum? Hell, if weāre disbanding entire Departmentās, I would think you would at least have some specific relevant complaints.
-
It ALREADY is, have you not been paying attention? Local districts and state education departments set curriculum and the local education. The feds DO NOT deal with curriculum. They deal with the things that have been mentioned multiple times in this thread. Quit going on about something that doesnāt happen.

I so enjoy the deflect/distract method of discussing politics and political views. There have been numerous things posted above that you could respond to about your specific issues with the DoE and perceived lack of understanding on what they do. Either you have some point that isnāt clear or youāre parroting information found elsewhere with no way to discuss it.

See āonly country with decentralized educationā and think about the ramifications of that. I am curious what data you are using other than āpeople are sayingā to base your opinion.

One of its core tenets is prohibiting discrimination and providing equal opportunities in education. You lose most of the Trump supporters because of that. Letās not worry about Title 1 funding and other funding that the government actually requires audits of to determine it is spent appropriately, Pell grants, disability education, research, etc. Those donāt matter, we prefer to discriminate. On your second thought, welcome to everyone getting involved in politics without putting in the time to understand how things work. Twitter said, so it must be true.

This is the basis of Trumpism. Itās not policy driven, itās isolationism and fear driven. Just the number of people around here and other places online that canāt discuss policy, have no idea what they are even arguing in support of, and really just interact by sticking their fingers in their ears and sticking out their tongues is fascinating.
-
States and school districts are where the ādecision of how to educateā resides. Again, what specifically do you disagree with that the DoE oversees now that your original premise doesnāt hold? Do you even know what they do, why they do it, and that we are literally the only country with decentralized education already?
-
Who do you think sets curriculum and educational objectives? What do you think the DoE actually does?
-
Most of these I at least get the premise of even if I donāt agree with them. However, whatās the primary issue with the Dept of Education and what are you proposing to replace it?
-
I can tell you when my MAGA parents call they arenāt talking about the NYT, WSJ, etc. They are talking about Candace Owens, Joe Rogan, etc which I think was the point being made. Whatās the viewership on the Sunday Morning talk shows versus Elonās followers on Twitter. I would agree they donāt meet the historical definition of mainstream media, but you should be able to agree the Rās own the information/content wars at the moment through the various types of media outside of Legacy maybe. You can debate semantics (which seems popular around here) or you can debate the message/point (which is what most normal people would do).

Steel has worldwide tariffs with exemptions for Canada/Mexico, it wasnāt just a specific tariff directed at China. There are also targeted tariffs on Chinese steel outside of the overall tariffs. Numerous studies have shown the steel tariffs specifically to be detrimental to the consumer from a cost perspective, but there are also issues around the push for production of ācleanā steel/aluminum that drive those tariffs as well.

Iām not giving you my āfeelsā. Iām telling you what my construction clients are seeing in their futures pricing. G650 is telling you what he is seeing/expecting in materials pricing. The guys on my side have all been in the industry a long-time and they are making plans for increased/unstable material costs and are not locking in long-term contract pricing. You have a short window to accept and a short window to pay for/purchase materials. Now, my steel guys are falling all over themselves with the proposed increase in the tariffs. Their numbers will go through the roof because their prices increase substantially with tariffs. They can charge more because of foreign material pricing. The end customer pays similar to what he would for imported tariffed steel (xx% higher than without tariffs) and the steel guys here just make a much larger spread. They love it.

You donāt, you could just respond to the couple of people involved in the industry that have posted. Or not, either way. Yes, the answer is always yes. Remember, deflect, disinformation, distract, itās the way of their world. -
The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Iām actually trying really hard here to find your point, but I canāt. You clearly arenāt reading along or wanting to discuss the difference between actual things that are said by the individual and can be quoted versus those that are people saying this is what he will do or thinks. Weāre back to distract and deflect rather than actually discussing the level of misinformation Trump himself has injected into the narrative. -

Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
I can easily agree that his quote is a problem and itās not a line of thought that normal people would take, but stretching it to āhe wants her in front of a firing squadā based strictly on what he said is a bridge too far. There are plenty of people that would agree that politicians often take individual lives for granted in other countries wars while they sit behind their desks which is really the point he was making. Hell, it was a premise of the Democratic Party for some time. -

They canāt justify what he says, the company line is to deflect and distract so as not to compound/bring light to how far out on the limb he actually is. Itās a grade school mentality of dealing with things. -

Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
You canāt cherry pick one portion of the quote from the entire message. You lose context. Saying that she should be in front of a firing squad is different than what he actually said. Right off the bat, you donāt get a gun if youāre in front of the firing squad. The the part of what he said is below. Liz Cheney is āa deranged person,ā the GOP nominee said, ābut the reason she couldnāt stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. I donāt want to go to war. She wanted to go ā she wanted to stay in Iraq. I took them out. I mean, if [it] were up to her, weād, weād be in 50 different countries. Sheās a radical war hawk.ā He then said, āLetās put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? Letās see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know theyāre all war hawks when theyāre sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, āOh, gee, well, letās send, letās send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.ā -

I donāt think you really want to go through all of the stupid shit he has said one by one. It will not work out well for you. There are instances where it is spun, there are a lot more instances where he actually said the dumb shit that has been quoted just as it was said. -

Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
If you read the whole thing, itās clear he is saying that lawmakers shouldnāt be sending people to war when they arenāt willing to go be put in harmās way. -
The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
The conversation was on disinformation and people eating up the misinformation that is fed to them. Bringing that into the discussion where it was said to put him in the bullseye of their campaign coming out of the debate isnāt misinformation, no matter how you want to argue context. Itās no different than any other war time reference used by either side. Interestingly enough, he also apologized for the use of the terminology which hasnāt happened on the other side of aisle. You could at least stay on track. -

You do see that there is a difference between direct quotes from a presidential candidate/elect and others saying this is what one side or the other will do, donāt you? The horseās mouth is a much better source of information than accusations by either side and the āhorseā is on the record saying the things I mentioned. -

Interesting take there based on the amount of BS Trump injected into his campaign (eating pets, FEMA/immigrants, etc) that the lapdogs ate up. If you donāt think pricing/futures in the construction industry is already being impacted, then you donāt deal with the industry. The odd thing about the industry is they have had record years post Covid. I work with 80+ contractors and I canāt think of one that hasnāt had record sales/earnings during that period. They are all as red as they come too, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. There were already signs through the summer that it was checking up especially in certain industries. -

I just gave you actual conversations with GCās and subs I had and what they are seeing with prices and futures, G650 is giving you actual views from the industry and what they are doing on pricing as well. It would be much simpler just to say youāre good with it, you donāt care than ignoring the actual impact on how these things play out. -

Brew replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Letās say you are right for the moment and the story is fiction, in your mind does that mean the storyline canāt play out that way? I talked to my largest GC yesterday and they are concerned about material costs with the level of imported items in the industry. My largest electrical sub has been loading up on wire this fall to try and mitigate the increase coming there because itās all imported. -
Do you have an actual point to make or are you just trying to run up the imaginary internet dig scoreboard you keep in your head?
