Since the Obama admin, Democrats have been trying to overwhelm different US systems in order to make them fail. They’ve been very frustrated by the American people figuring this out quickly and blocking it via elections and state legislatures.

Wait til they have to pay for pharmaceuticals at market price or build their militaries back up. All of those nice social programs will get cut.
Weren’t they convicted by a jury of their peers? I guess the jury was fascist, too.
Sue the district in Federal court over civil rights violations.
Maybe ask the kid how he feels about Mom walking the parking lot instead of seeing him being honored?

My granddad missed my hs graduation while all 3 of my other grandparents attended because he didn’t feel like going. I understand why now, but I was really pissed at the time.

My grandfather didn’t go to church, but my grandmother was very involved in hers. Was he bad leader because he didn’t tell his wife to stay home with him?

Today, Black high school attainment is ~88% (near national average); adjusted cohort graduation rates ~81% (vs. 90% White, 94% Asian).


Having taught high school for 6 years, I can tell you this statistic is meaningless because attainment of a high school diploma is no longer a consistent measurement of the skills and abilities of a graduate.

Many schools have become diploma factories designed to produce statistics that make superintendents and principals look successful when, in fact, many students graduate with skill levels well below even a 9th grade education.
They don’t give a shite about him. He was always just a warm body.
Sounds like they hate single gays, too.
I hate to say 8 Simple Rules, but man, it wasn’t close to the same show after Ritter died.

Imagine having Japan surrounded in 1945 and we decide to give them hundreds of billions to rebuild and keep their current government in place. That’s the parallel here.


Iran bombed one of our military bases and we spent 5 years pushing them back across a large ocean? Not seeing the parallel.
Oh man! Should not have given The Hulk possession away. Ugh.
Not their only checking account. This account is the only one he has.

As I said, if I were single and had no one else i trust as far as a significant other, I would probably have my parents on my account


That’s what a Power of Attorney is for.
Single til I was 45. My parents have never been listed on any of my checking accounts.

I think there also may be some ethical/campaign finance issues since she donates to his campaign.
