    I keep hearing this stuff about how the Dems have failed working class America. I guess that means not living up to promises. But the Rs haven't even promised, much less delivered. This whole thing has me:

    Kind of a curiosity here, but I don't think Mmes. Shaye and Freeman get to keep any of this stuff. I think it has to be auctioned. In most states, rather than the plaintiffs seizing property, the sheriff or constable or some local official does it, leading to a "sheriff's sale" or auction. NY apparently permits plaintiff's counsel to do that directly. Without the auction, there's no real way to establish an amount to credit against the judgement.

    Some people, probably not you, are going to be kinda happy about that narrow definition of treason I keep reminding people of.

    Yeah "differing opinion" is code for something.
  5. TwiceHorn
    Yeah, that seems pretty accurate. Social media is for suckers, get the fuck off it. Think about it, Zuck formed it so hot chicks would post themselves and guys could perv on them and talk shit. Nothing's really changed. It's all attention whores, people perving on them in various ways, and shit talking.

    I am unaware of any effect the Universal Copyright Convention would have on this. and it certainly would not provide jurisdiction to the ICC for enforcement.
  7. TwiceHorn
    Hmm. This is tragic, of course, but it doesn't really seem like there are any or many wider implications here.

    Icono is super hyperbolic. He attributed something to Trump that wasn't true. That's a symptom of his worship. He's crazy as a shithouse rat.

    If there is something characterized as racial or sex discrimination going on in the district or its schools, DOE is the first line of enforcement of the civil rights laws that apply to students. Local example https://www.yahoo.com/news/department-education-finds-southlake-carroll-032317996.html It's not surprising you're unfamiliar with this, because it is pretty rare. But will be less so while Moms for Liberty exercise their authority. Republicans have been opposed to DoE since its inception, for a variety of ostensible reasons.

    He tries to make a point, gets factually pantsed, and shifts around. He could have started with DOE doesn't do anything, it should be dissolved. But that's not where he started.
  11. TwiceHorn
    His quote was "Trump sealed the border." That's an impossibility in the first place. He didn't make any point about relative numbers between the two administrations, he said "Trump sealed the border." That's the kind of thinking that leads to useless and expensive border walls.
  12. TwiceHorn
    Yeah, that's the truth. Great example: all the trans ads. Trans protection was not a big part of Harris' or Allred's platforms at all. But, as Democrats, and decent humans, they had their voting records and statements against ridiculous GOP initiatives to solve non-existent problems involving 0.5-1% of the population. And Trump and Cruz rammed that up their ass repeatedly. The irony of it is, that I think a fair number of people that voted Trump aren't really against LGBQT, they thought it was a non-issue at the Presidential level. But the GOP made it one. Also, although the victory was decisive and startling, it was not a blowout. About 175k votes in the swing states made the difference.

    Not what he said, either. But, again, you knew that. And, again, with your original post, you said "communities," which also implies lower than district level.
  14. TwiceHorn
    Additionally, by saying "should," you implied that education policy should be more local than it is already, being primarily dictated at the State and district level.
  15. TwiceHorn
    That's not what I said. I responded to this: Education should be pushed to the lowest levels. Let the communities be the primary decision makes of how to educate. I did not indicate state or federal, just someone other than the community. The stupid part was hyperbole. But there are communities that are essentially failed for a variety of reasons and shouldn't be the primary decision makers of how to educate. A holder of a degree in Sanskrit or AA studies at least knows what formal education is about. Cletus the welder who's a 10th grade dropout may have an IQ of 150, but he doesn't know how to sign up for the SAT or apply to college, or how to succeed once there. Nor does he have any idea what courses one must take to get admitted to the state university for example. He might have great ideas about how to run the shop classes.
  16. TwiceHorn
    That is correlation, not causation. Perhaps DOE was created because we were slipping.

    A broad base of educated and uneducated people should inform education policy. If you have a locality that lacks a broad base, local education will be appropriate only for that locality. And, if like most undereducated localities, it's small and economically suffering, you just prolong that. You absolutely need views from outside a locality.
  19. TwiceHorn
    Hell, even the parental interests of highly educated locals don't serve the broader interests underlying education. If you have complete local control of education, you'll have localities with entirely vocational graduates and those with higher educational aspirations will be left behind and in highly educated localities, vocational type students will be left behind. It's untenable.
  20. TwiceHorn
    They can have a voice, particularly as parents. But if they lack formal education they cannot be dictating aspects of formal education they don't comprehend. Education has a societal component that is broader than the community it "serves"
  21. TwiceHorn
    Are we now pretending that politicians are some meritocracy? How do you explain your orange guy?

    *ACU
  23. TwiceHorn
    There's a decent argument for local control, within a certain framework. But small, stupid communities full of uneducated people should not be making curriculum decisions.
  24. TwiceHorn
    It's never been a big deal to "us." But there's a certain someone to whom it was a big deal.
  25. TwiceHorn
    Well, it's ok by me for the prosecution to argue during sentencing that a "hate" motivation should enhance the sentence. So, not entirely done with it. But, I disfavor new crimes or new categories of crime that don't meaningfully differ from the old ones. Just another form of pandering by criminal law.
