  1. Google, 1 second later: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/economy/2022/04/20/economist-says-gov-abbotts-border-inspections-lost-texas-42-billion-and-36000-jobs/
  2. Similar to the TX abortion ban. That is such a terribly-drafted law that violates every concept of due process, regardless of your feelings on abortion. I would oppose the bill if it replaced "abortion" with "child molestation" because it is a ridiculous law that creates massive legal problems, and no one who actually believes in what this country stands for would support "any random person who wasn't impacted in any way whatsover can sue someone wherever they want and if they don't file an answer, get a judgment for thousands of dollars." But I guess Republicans like child molestation more than abortion, because that's what they tell me when they allow me to sue a stranger for driving someone to an abortion clinic but not for molesting kids.
  3. So Greg Abbott costing the Texas economy and taxpayers 4 billion dollars for a one week stunt of detaining trucks at the border wasn't "flash and pop" and was instead good governance based on logic and common sense solutions and not masturbating publicly for the feeble-minded? Fuck outta here.
  4. Oh, look some teachers being hateful, racist, and obscene in school in Texas! Well golly gee, we sure should pass a law in Texas right now barring this, correct? Also I see all the Republican leaders are endorsing this! OH WOW GUYS.
  5. Are you saying there are "a few idiots for sure" that support things like vaccine misinformation, the Big Lie, etc.? That's part and parcel of the Republicans today and if you are Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney you literally get exiled for not going along. As for the rest, Serak explained exactly the issue. For example, the Jen Psaki clip linked above is completely harmless. But the scam that works so well on the ignorant masses on one side is to pair that clip with some video from LoTT, and act like Psaki is endorsing the video, which is a blatant fucking lie.
  6. Precisely, as well as placing school districts and teachers at risk of liability/termination/etc., at the whims of any random dildo who wants to push back on things like the things listed under OBV OK in my earlier post. The idiotic way it was written makes tons of perfectly fine conduct technically illegal, and trusting hateful morons to not abuse that fact is not gonna cut it.
  7. Prominent people on the right are currently supporting anti-vaccine disinformation and supporting false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, at significant harm to our fucking democracy, so spare me that they would oppose anything. Trump "both sides have good people" when one was fucking white supremacists for one easy-ass example. And again you just fucking LIE AND FUCKING LIE about what public figures on the left and posters here support. STOP FUCKING LYING.
  8. You mean like when DeSantis said it should be illegal to tell a kindergartener they can be anything they want to be? Or where DeSantis spreads vaccine misinformation resulting in Floridians deaths? Or when Trump calls Mexicans criminals and rapists? And by definition, all of the establishment peopel that cover for the church and support their tax-exempt status are absolutely supporting the massive tradition of grooming and sexual abuse that is rampant there. Democrats are not advocating that children be "groomed" into being gay, largely because they understand that's not a fucking thing. Democrats are not advocating for sexual education or instruction to K-3 kids. This is an insane logical fallacy where a group of hateful mouthbreathers has established in their feeble brains a truth that "Discussing that gay people exist or supporting tolerance for gay people or reading a book with a gay person in it is sexual education. Democrats support those things. Thus, Democrats suport sexual education to K-3 kids." It's an embarassing, small-minded, ignorant lie screaming into the howling wind of history, just like those who stood up against interracial marriage, etc., and are now on the shitheap of history.
  9. Or maybe we can look at what conservatives believe on vaccines and check out death rates for red and blue counties and so maybe we should make it a felony to spread vaccine misinfo, and a double secret felony for teachers to do it?
  10. Exactly. It would be the same as if I started a "Trumpkins of TikTok" account and just had videos of backwater rednecks dropping the N word (and hey if some of those are actors playing it up, so what, it's representative amirite???). Or "Evangelicals of TikTok" and it's just videos of priests getting sentenced for molestation (though those are tough to find, since the church so readily and frequently covers it up, but I bet we can make it work.)
  11. We have gone over this 5,000 times. If you want to pass a law saying that you can't discuss explicit sexual practices, obviously, go ahead. The bullshit of "can't discuss gender identity or sexual preferences" means that any discussion about heterosexuality, any books that mention/discuss heterosexuality or have heterosexual characters are all fine because that's "standard" or "normal" but if you have a book about a bunch of sixth graders, and two of the boys are holding hands, all of a sudden now that is "discussing gender identity or sexual preferences" even though it wouldn't be if it was a boy and a girl. THAT is exactly how and why this law is bigoted bullshit and you and yours will be looked upon by history as equal to those cumstains that turned fire hoses on little black girls for trying to go to school. NOT OK: "Hey teacher, how do men have sex?" "Well, Billy, sometimes they just put their penises in each other's mouth or other times in the butt. Let's discuss some tips for safe anal sex...." "Hey Billy, you seem kind of femme to me, don't you think maybe you should be going to the girls' bathroom instead?" Alright kids, we are gonna read the Kama Sutra, your assignment is to describe how the positions would be different in man/man sex as opposed to man/woman. OBV OK: "Hey teacher, why does Sally have two mommies?" " Well, Billy, some girls like boys, some girls like girls, and some like both. No matter what, they can still get married and have kids." "Hey teacher, I really feel like I like girls even though I'm supposed to like boys. Is something wrong with me?" "No Jennifer, it's common for people to have feelings like that, sometimes just for a little bit, sometimes for their whole life." Alright kids, we are gonna read Book X (that happens to have a relationship between same sex characters, without any explicit sex). The fucks lumping the second category into the first or acting like the first is happening on some meaningful level are the problem.
  12. So the right wing thinks that K-3 is just too young to be indoctrinated into the idea that gay people exist and being exposed to those ideas "grooms" kids to be gay. Why no focus on indoctrination into something that is actually, ya know, a fucking decision instead of the way you were born? Shouldn't there be a "don't say God" bill? After all, why should kids moldable minds be exposed to these concepts? No more Christmas parties or Easter events, no books allowed that say God or Jesus or feature pastors or priests (speaking of grooming). Why is it OK to plant seeds in a kindergartener's head about religion, which is a choice, and not sexuality, which is not? Currently in Florida, a kindergarten teacher can legally describe explicitly the murders of the Holocaust and state that the actions were justified because Jews are less than human, but not "Sally has two moms because sometimes girls like other girls." Why exactly are there all these bills to stop discussion of CRT and gender, but none aimed at stopping endorsements of white supremacy, Nazism, or advocacy of the Big Lie that the election was stolen?
  13. So your position is yes an elementary school teacher allegedly saying they will read a book about kids dressing how they want justifies a piss-poor drafted state law that chills legit discussion, ostracizes kids, etc.?
  14. AGAIN you just ignore and deflect. Answering in a basic sense of why Sally has two mommies or having a book that has a married gay couple isn't "teaching sexual orientation", except to ridiculous snowflake ghouls who simply want cruelty to those different from them.
  15. It would also write off Disney's 2B debt to a cost of $2,000 per family in those counties, but Republican Governors pullling political stunts to impress the 75 IQ crowd at a cost of billions to their own taxpayers is en vogue this season, just ask Greggy.
  16. Also bullshit that it doesn't target same-sex. If a book is in the curriculum and features heterosexual married partners, no problem. Homosexual married partners, ope, now we are "teaching sexual orientation"!!!!
  17. So if during class, a student asks the teacher why Sally has two mommies, and the teacher says "sometimes women marry each other and they can have kids", that won't be framed as "classroom instruction on sexual orientation"? Because DeSantis has literally explicitly said telling a kindergartener "you can be whatever you want to be" violates this bill. The author of the bill says a word problem that mentions "two mommies" violates the bill. The fucking preamble of the bill itself says the objective is to "prohibit classroom discussion" of these topics. So uh yeah, it is in there, Johnny. But keep on your with your boogeymean of "sick purple headed degenerates" OOOOOO HAIR COLOR SO FUCKING SCAWY. Also you now say at the end of your post that they can't "talk about sexual orientation" so it seems you agree that shit is in fact in there.
  18. Or at least that's what brain-dead fucking imbeciles who think math textbooks that mention African-American mathematicians are CRT or that mentioning a same-sex relationship is educating kindergarteners about sex or grooming them to be gay think. It's too bad there are millions of these brain-dead fucking imbeciles, because they are an incredible fucking anchor on our country with their gullibility, susceptibility to grift, bigotry, stupidity, and hatred all rolled up into one ball of dipshit. Amazing how the same yokels who always scream about FAKE NEWS are the first dumbfucks in line to believe this shit.
  19. Yeah insane! I’m fairly hopeful esp since we would be willing to switch rooms a time or two during the trip if needed. I’m sure a lot of people grabbed spots as a just in case and then cancel or move dates. Fingers crossed! Just wish I could be looking forward to a booked trip instead of hoping we get to go.
