POLITICAL THREAD

[JoeSwag]

I’m convinced that most of the public are absolute retards. Take a gander at a Facebook comment section on anything that’s from a Democrat mouthpiece.

No logic allowed. It’s straight “Go blue team” and using 😂 as a rebuttal because using a laughing emoji might hide the fact that you have no actual retort and maybe people will think the comment was amusing to your genius intellect. Never mind that you’re a line cook or work at Starbucks.

 

[LowCountryCat]

Don't recollect your circumstances or what I said about you specifically. And I don't know if vax is an improvement after ni or not.

You're such a self righteous prick, and you just admitted you know nothing while sitting in judgment. Nobody here should listen to a word you say.

"PLEASE PUT ME BACK ON IGNORE!!!!!" You'll bleat. LOL what a waste of space.

OK, those are added in-district new students, right? I think they are required & should have to accept them. Ood students is another story.

It works the same for out of district transfers. The only students that take priority are those within the established bus route for a particular school. There may be several schools within the same district. They actually prefer out of district transfers because it’s more money for the entire district instead or money changing from school to school.

“Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President,” he tweeted in February of 2020. “He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

You Go Joe...

God help us!

Is Bitem saying he played footsie with Putin?

I used to think Charter schools were a money grab until I started working out of the state. Was working with a group or math teachers in North Carolina at a public school in the Winston-Salem area. These teachers were telling me about how they had ribs broken during school riots, how kids were in and out due to legal issues and you never knew who was in your class or how many there would be, how several students had ankle bracelets monitoring where they were, and how gang members would dress in school uniforms and harass the siblings of rival gang members in classes and hallways. I asked one them how in the world they ever made it through high school living in the area. Only 2 teachers were locals and they said “We didn’t, we went to charter schools. They don’t put up with this”. That was all I needed to know to change my mind. My kids would not be in that environment. And with the way state regulations, fear of being sued, and terrible parenting is going it will be coming sooner than later. My kids will be home or private schooled and my wife will work at a private school if it gets that way.

I hear ya....that kinda lunacy definitely happens at some schools especially in larger metro areas. It is a reflection of the breakdown of the home in micro....and society as macro. Schools can't do anything because the parents are worthless/high/drunk and are always threatening to sue, cops don't wanna get involved due to fears of being seen as using excessive force and being sued, school districts are afraid of suits...and don't have the money for more security, teachers and/or counselors......
All the while our politicians are defunding schools, passing stupid laws and bashing the teachers working in these insane asylums. Speaking of stupid laws.....

I’ll take cheap gas, mean tweets, low crime, no world wars, and a secure border over whatever this mess is that we're dealing with right now.

 

[Dionysus444]

Germany already halted it.

I phrased this badly. Germany halted it today in response to Putin acknowledging Donetsk and Luhansk yesterday. Biden threatened to do so weeks ago, saying this on Feb 7, “If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” We did.

They're hoping to make it a referendum on trump. Anything to direct attention away from Biden and his awfulness

Jan 6th commission, lifting covid restrictions, and legalizing weed is the midterm playbook. That appeals to each of the coalition's demographics while keeping the boogeyman of Trump alive. Best of all for them the only part that requires any actual legislating is the legalization and that'll get some bipartisan support.

I’ll give you a like because I agree in principle for the most part. The issues of rebellion, disrespect for authority, and bullying of other students directly goes back to the students home lives. And now the state has made it hard for schools to discipline students, especially minority students in regard to ESSA for federal reasons. So I can see why some people believe schools just allow it.

As far as the Florida bill, I actually support it if the student is under 18. We’ve reached some weird point in society where we think children are entitled to privacy regarding social or moral behaviors. As a parent, I would want to know and would be pretty upset if I wasn’t informed. I understand critics claim it’s in defense of students from possibly abusive parents but we shouldn’t dictate law because of only the worst scenarios. We also have channels to address abuse if needed. The are parents who might want to assure their children they love them or want to repair whatever made the child not trust them. If my daughter claims to be gay I don’t want her asking for other girls to sleep over. And there’s several of other reasons parents should be told. For good or bad, children are the parent’s responsibility and parents have a right to know.

I love how you get all indignant when somebody generalizes teachers, but you turn around and do the same exact thing to parents. You foul hypocrite, groomer supporter.

 

[warrior-cat]

God sure allows a lot of messed up stuff then. From cancer to mosquito malaria to tsunamis. People have chronic diseases that put them in pain every second of their entire lives. That’s a lot of pain and suffering just for His glory. God’s a jerk.

False. God does not allow it, humans do. It is a fallen world and our choice to make the decisions on how we go about it. He gave us a choice to follow him or Satan. The day is coming for us to be judged on our choice.

God doesn't answer to you. It's not His job to make sure that your life is perfect and smooth. The fact that He allows you to continue breathing despite your outright blasphemy and rebellion every second of the day shows just how much mercy He has. You want to get mad at somebody? Look in the mirror, big boy. You are the reason the world sucks. Well, you and Satan, of course. God created the world perfect and man messed it up. Deal with it.

As far as God's glory, it's manifested every time you see a flower, or somebody who helps out their fellow man in trouble. Everything good in this world comes from God, and everything bad comes from man. Your biggest problem is your ego; you are all about yourSELF, and until you get over THAT particular sin, you'll never be able to come to God on His terms. The good news is, God's always waiting for you, and His patience is FAR longer than yours is.

If you want to hear a raving lunatic listen to Trumps phone call on Fox today. If you listen to that and don't think Trump is suffering a severe case of dementia, paranoia, and just plain batshit crazyness then your a ****ing delusional sheep.

“A lot of people say ‘deep state.’ I don’t like to use the word deep state,”

2 minutes later....

“The guy yesterday on the telephone … I can’t hear guys making calls,” he shouted. “That was a total phony deal, that was a phony — call it ‘deep state,’ call it ‘anti-Trump people,’


“We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I’m also standing with President Xi [Jinping],” Trump said. “He’s a friend of mine. He’s an incredible guy...But I’d like to see them work it out. Okay. We have to see and work it out. But I stand with Hong Kong. I stand with freedom. I stand with all of the things that we want to do, but we also are in the process of making the largest trade deal in history. And if we could do that, that would be great."

You, sir, are just emotionally out of control.

I quoted @LowCountryCat directly.

He allows this for His glory.

As for your post, everyone in chronic pain is a follower of Satan? They made decisions that gave them their afflictions?

OK, but it still has to be the receiving school district's choice, right? I mean is a 2000 student district supposed to take 500 ood's that show up in the Fall? I disagree with that requirement.

No, the fallen world did. It is our choice however whether in pain or not who we will follow. God gives no man more than he/she can handle and the rewards he/she will receive for following him will be great.

I'd like for posters here to weigh in on what they see this culminating into in the next year, five years, ten years from now. What do you think life for ordinary citizens will be like in those time frames? I have no clue where all this is ultimately headed, but quite frankly I'm scared.
I'm 52, have a job I love, own a modest home on a little over an acre in a rural community outside of Louisville. I just remarried last fall, my kids are all in their early 20's. My Step kids range in age from 16 to 23. I had hoped to work another 15 years or so and retire. I have some things in my job I want to accomplish that might help speed that timeframe up. But am I going to be able to? Is my livlihood going to be taken from me? Is my property going to be taken from me? are my investments going to tank and be gone to nothing? Will there be so many restrictions placed that travel becomes prohibitive?

Just curious on peoples takes on this?

The short answer is that your freedom and individualism will diminish. The flame that was lit in 1776 is getting dimmer.

Jesus said that everyone who isn't born again is a child of the devil. In other words, you're BORN INTO sin. That's why you need redemption, and why Jesus died on the cross, taking your sin on himself. Ultimately the only sin that really condemns you to eternal punishment and separation from God is the sin of unbelief - rejection of the gift of God through Jesus Christ.

I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about the thousands of people that got mulched alive by debris carried by a wave that came from an underwater earthquake. They were just living their lives one minute, swept away in the next. Why would God's plan include such things? What did we gain from that event that justified the suffering? And that's just one example from among countless innumerable horrible things that happen every day and throughout all history. Those people living along that coastline weren't in league with Satan. If God's real he's the cruelest thing to ever exist in all the universe. Beyond irredeemably evil.

 

[AustinTXCat]

They already controlled the area with off the books Russian troops. What everyone is waiting to see is if he will push further. Putin has always been butthurt about Ukraine being gifted the Crimea area. The question is if he is butthurt enough to try and reclaim the ancestral home of Kyiv.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

They may not “should” have to but I guarantee they would. If they could increase enrollment by 25% they would bring in trailers or whatever else would be needed while they build additions.

I understand where you’re coming from and don’t disagree in principle. I believe school choice should be available. But I also believe schools should have to right to refuse OOD students if they wish. You don’t want a situation where problem students are being sent from one place to another as they get in trouble.

For a self-proclaimed atheist and a determined skeptic, your lack of knowledge of God is off the charts.

Aren't you just a rock, anyway? You atheists claim that we are all just random collections of molecules, right? How do you know that your opinion is correct, then?
