Government overreach and bureaucracy is the biggest impediment to good public schools.

And vouchers get the government out of school.

I oppose vouchers going to schools that don't accept them as full payment and/or discriminate against those that won't pay more or aren't members of their religion.
 
Really don’t understand what the lefties are so happy about. This is going to push more people towards Trump. Everyone with a brain sees how corrupt this is. It’s going to get turned over on appeal.

I just hope Trump wins* and he pulls no punches this time.

*edit: beats the fraud
He didn't know what the hell he was doing the first time. Not at all sure he still doesn't. Net, expectations exceed reality imo.

He needs to get McConnell to resign & become his personal advisor.
 
Which is your cultivated brainwashed hysterics. This is a demonstration of my point, the media manufactured fear and exploitation of your ignorance and sensitivities that will be central to their election platform: the sine quo non.
I'm sorry but to hear you and the other conservatives on this board talk about being "brainwashed" is just ridiculous. I don't visit this board much anymore, because it's just a small, angry collection of broken guys that are so eaten up with anger that they've invented an alternate reality. If I want fantasy, I'll go find a pleasant one.

How do we know I'm right and you're living in a fantasy land? Well take a look at all the ruined lives, careers, and reputations in the wake of Trump, and then add those to those that know him far better than. you that are trying to warn you about him. Take a look at those that have worked closest with him over the years, his cabinet members and Vice-President, his lawyers and fixers, his ghost writer/biographer, his producers and staff from the apprentice. His own chief of staff, a highly decorated Marine Five star General said that Trump was the most flawed person he ever met"..do you think maybe General Kelly was just another RINO? (Sorry I had hot stop to laugh).
 
12 of the top 13 states who depend most on federal $$$ handouts are Trump Red States.
That is a fact.
9 of the top 10 states who have the highest share of their state budget provided by the federal government are red states.
That is a fact.
Luckily for them the hard working Blue Cities in Blue States provide them with federal handout tax $$$ in order to meet the needs of those needy red state Republican populations.


Looking at it as a percentage of revenue is wrong. $/resident is more accurate. CA can have 2X the income per person as KY, get 1.5X the money per person, & thus look better on a percentage basis while still getting more.
 
This isn't close to accurate.

he underestimated just how deep and evil the swamp really is. he had good intention but the opposition was, and probably still is, too fierce.

He should've wiped out everyone. No holdovers. He didn't. It plagued him the entire time.

He knew for a fact they all spied on him. He should've dismantled everything.
 
Let’s say this trial never took place. Any one think Trump did anything wrong by lying on ledgers and paying off porn stars to be quiet on affairs? Or is that a lie too? I’ll hang up and listen.
The United States government has lied repeatedly about wars, about Covid, about nearly everything one can imagine. The government has admitted to losing billions upon billions of dollars through mismanagement. The United States Congress has paid out millions to settle sexual harassment complaints on behalf of its members. This is all on record.

If you’re ACTUALLY listening and using your head for more than a hat rack, you may wonder why it’s just this one person that they seem to be going after.

For ignorant leftists, maybe it sound like something is wrong.

For those of us who know anything, it’s actually laughable.

In my prior role, legal invoices went to AP who did the expense coding, then to the GC for approval. The CEO/Owner’s name was printed on all checks, and I had signing authority up to $3 million dollars, required to sign any check over $5k (otherwise they just went out with the owners signature). To think GL coding of a legal invoice as legal expense, or a signature on a check is evidence of intent is nonsensical.
 
Whoever he chooses as his running mate will be telling. If he sticks it out with Kamala, it means another four years of behind the scenes puppeteering. If he pulls in somebody like Gavin Newsome, the succession plan is in place.

Regardless, I don't think Biden is going to LIVE four more years, much less serve as president. If he does live, he will literally be a drooling vegetable, before the four years is up. He's darn near there already. At some point his dementia will outpace the meds they can pump him full of to get an hour of semi-coherency and emotion.
 
I understand but being in the middle of it don't you realize it's already broken? There are barely any immigrants in KY, it isn't CA. Yet it's still broken here too, we're one of the unhealthiest states in the union. The problems you're dealing with are the fault of the system itself, not the people you're servicing.

Our society in general doesn’t promote things like eating healthy, exercise, and sunlight. Our food is unhealthy unless you’re wealthy and our water supply is loaded with chemicals.

Government is to blame as much as anyone in this regard. They’d rather you take pills and shots your whole life than support the obvious with the prior. I don’t think giving them more control is the answer.

You know how else we will be able to tell this was an obvious and blatant political hit job using lawfair? The fact that these very same precedents and rules will never be applied towards any ordinary citizen.

If these cases are so obvious and Trump is the criminal mastermind they make him out to be, then why the need for the lawfair and the unprecedented actions taken to elevate these crimes to felonies? Why does the judge have to place all of these unprecedented and likely unconstitutional rules that almost guarantee a conviction? If this judge is not compromised or biased, then how come he needed to make the proceedings so one-sided?

I didn't ask what "leftists" think. I asked what you think. Let me refine my question. You see nothing wrong with cheating on your wife with a porn star, orchestrating financial fraud and buying news stories to hide it?

I don't even care about the legality. Do you see anything wrong with what Trump did? Simple question

It’s hard for me to believe you care about this country at all if you still can’t see it. The man who said he wouldn’t agree to a peaceful transfer of power. The man who directed white supremacist groups to stand by to commit political violence if he lost. The man who lost his re-election and attempted to suspend the Constitution. The man who schemed to circumvent the Constitution on Jan 6 to overturn the election with fake electors, then the plan was to have the military SHOOT AND KILL protestors.

It’s clear the Constitution means nothing to you and you desire a King who will run roughshod over political dissenters. You have no love for the United States of America and you want to see it destroyed. So the question is, what the hell is wrong with you?

This is a complete rube take. You can buy a 50 lb bag of rice, a 50 lb bag of flour, dried beans, frozen vegetables, as many bananas as your heart desires, and some frozen chicken. Your meals will be around $2.50 a piece at a time when jobs are all paying $15 an hour. This will cover all your nutritional needs and will be cheap AF.

Yeah, you fools really care about the constitution. Says the traitors from the party who used knowingly false foreign information in order to get a secret warrant form a secret court to spy on their political opponent.

Says the traitors from the party who stole an election by circumventing the laws of the constitution.

Says the traitors from the party who wants to stack the Supreme Court.

Says the traitors from the party who wants to give illegals the right to vote.

Says the traitors from the party who wanted to round up anti-vaxxers, ruin their livelihoods, and crush their freedoms.

GSTH.
 
I always believe posters with Duh in their chosen name, who misspells "believes", and who CAPITALIZES random WORDS in THEIR post.
The GREAT news is, as with anything, especially politics, you don't have to believe anyone, you can simply do the research on your own!!! Which part of my post did you not believe? That 27 million more votes were cast in 2020 than in 2016 or that 27 million is the same as the entire combined population of the 17 states I listed? FTR, spell checks are the weakest form of debate, it is indicative of a brain incapable of forming an argument against the topic, so it tries to discredit the message by dicrediting the messanger. That never works, "Duh Son, WIL, RIZE. TUHmorrow", nothing about the spelling, punctuation, or capitalization of the words refute the absolute truth that the sun will indeed rise tomorrow, and in fact I would consider myself less than genius for not believing it will happen because it was spelled incorrectly. But anyway, 27 million more votes were cast in 2020 than in 2016, and that is the same amount as the total population of the 17 states I listed, COMBINED. And you have to believe that happened in order to not doubt the results. And, you can easily verify those statistics, I encourage you to, with everything.

Cheating on your wife is wrong, porn start or otherwise.

Calling this “orchestrating financial fraud” is only something an ignorant leftist would do.

Trump was wrong to cheat on his wife.

Even if Trump had knowledge of what was happening and directly authorized payment to a sleazeball tabloid, that’s business. He is/was a brand.

Edit: just to add, I cannot stress how insanely ignorant anyone sounds when they think a payment of a legal invoice coded as a legal expense is evidence of fraud.
 
Looking at it as a percentage of revenue is wrong. $/resident is more accurate. CA can have 2X the income per person as KY, get 1.5X the money per person, & thus look better on a percentage basis while still getting more.
Percentage is EXACTLY how it should be viewed.
For example...in Wyoming 56 percent of all state revenue comes from the federal government. That means that the residents/businesses there only provide 44 percent of the necessary $$$ needed to run the state government. The percent of tax $$$ per person subsidized by the feds is much higher in Wyoming and Ky than California.
The Feds provide $6,718 dollars per person in Wyoming, $4,850 per person in Ky, and only $4,181 per person in California.
In 2023, California had the highest GDP of all states at $3.86 trillion, followed by Texas at $2.56 trillion, and New York at $2.15 trillion.
In 2023, New York also had the highest per capita GDP at $90,730, followed by Massachusetts.
The hard working Blue states also make up 7 of the top 10 most federal $$$ producing states that end up sending their hard earned dollars back to the
Red state teet suckers.

What term would you like to call lying on financial documents other than financial fraud? Do you have any suggestions? That was actually the easiest case the prosecution had to make. The piece involving elections is where it arguably gets murkier.

If you were doing the accounting for the trust, where would you have coded the expense?

Credit cash, debit what?

That's a pretty neat story. Aside from him challenging the election and stalling to get to 1/20, the rest is purely bogus (and you know it).

It's still pretty amazing to me that the left, including this person, sees Trump as the destroyer of our Republic when the very party they support has done far more damaging and irreparable things to the country.

-The 44th President weaponized his government agencies to target ideological opposing groups.
-The 2016 Democrat nominee, and her campaign, funded a fake document that led to a FISA court issuing surveillance warrants against her opponent and his campaign.
-The 44th President allowed his DOJ to monitor the opposing party candidate before the 2016 Presidential Election.
-The Democrat Party and its leaders colluded with social media companies to suppress information, target opposing ideological leaders and media, and interfere in elections.
-The Democrat Party colluded with mainstream/traditional media to perpetuate a 3 year scheme against the 45th President based on the 2016 Democrat nominee's funded fake dossier, which also included a tax payer funded government investigation.
-The Democrat party, including party leaders and representatives, colluded with mainstream/traditional media to violate rights of US citizens during the COVID pandemic by speech, discrimination, restrictions, and limitations.
-The 46th President weaponized his DOJ against dissenters of gender and educational reform.
-The 46th President weaponized his DOJ against his chief political rival and 2024 Presidential opponent. This includes a Federal classified documents case (which ironically the 46th President illegally obtained classified documents when he was a Senator, but to date has received zero punishment for it).

There are many more examples, but these are plain and clear as day.
 
This is a complete rube take. You can buy a 50 lb bag of rice, a 50 lb bag of flour, dried beans, frozen vegetables, as many bananas as your heart desires, and some frozen chicken. Your meals will be around $2.50 a piece at a time when jobs are all paying $15 an hour. This will cover all your nutritional needs and will be cheap AF.
Example:

For breakfast this morning I had half a can of Cannellini beans with a fried egg and balsamic vinegar on top, plus a banana and a cup of coffee. ~400 calories. Total cost of that was like $2.20.

Is it? How many families actually eat like this?

My point wasn’t that it’s not doable. Convenience is king for most families juggling multiple jobs and raising kids. In that respect, our society doesn’t promote good food choices and caters to quick cheap and unhealthy.

Ever seen school lunches in poor districts vs wealthy? Heck even grocery stores in poor neighborhoods push garbage compare to higher income ones.

You’d be the exception though.

Most don’t eat like this as evidenced by our obesity rates in this country. I dont have the data but I’d guess there’s a relationship between bad eating, low education, and low income for the most part.
