Still can't believe STRONG Trump ran and hid from Ole Word salad kamala after getting his ass kicked in front the of the US population, great advice though he probably wouldn't have been elected after another round of getting debunked in front of America again.
Who won the election again? You're like the Chiefs fan bragging about that one touchdown during the Super Bowl blowout. LOL
 
You could probably stop letting them divide you by facing the fact that they lied to you about Russia collusion and then about nearly everything that occurred after that.

WE’RE not divided. YOU are divided, from truth.
Guess you musta missed everything that Trump is doing to give favor to Russia. Maybe when he changes the name of the United States to the Union of Soviet Socialist States of America??

We know most of you will stick with the R’s, but where do the voters that decide elections go in 2026 if the stock market is way down, unemployment is up, home values are down, and prices are still high for basic goods and services? You think voters will be tricked by a change in the GDP calculation or be willing to continue to support the “detox period” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessemer is warning us about?
Hey everybody!!! It's Fact_Checker!!! He checks facts!!!
 
I have an outstanding idea about where the OTHER foot can go.

You asked for true benefits of dismantling it.

That's easy, I can give you 268 billion of them.

That's all fine, and it wouldn't stay like that, but no one has answered the elephant in the room question....what is the benefit of going back to the states, especially one like KY that has fubar'd our educational system for years.

If the DOE can be revamped/DOGE'D and cleaned up, then a proper administration from the Fed level will more than likely be better than that of specific liberal ran states, boards, unions, etc.

This is a knee jerk reaction for the most part. It can definitely be scaled back and benefit most.
 
Somebody's not paying attention.
Threatening and doing are 2 different things.
He threatened Ukraine with aid and intelligence removal. He immediately followed thru on those.
Has he followed thru on Russian sanctions???
It's token BS for the gullible. He won't do anything to harm his master Putin.
Meanwhile in reality world ....🤬🤬🤬
Blood is on MAGA hands.

 
When have I ever mentioned the price of eggs other than mocking you lefties?

You didn’t understand the issue or criticisms, which is why you’d believe Kamala could fix it.

Don’t worry, we have this under control regardless of your inability to understand.
You cool with this??? 🤬
Putin's Puppet

Kamala would be doing better than Trump right now. A chimp throwing darts at an economic idea board would be doing better than Trump.

I'm going to disagree with you there.

Other than disbursing funds, directly tied to student enrollment, which should go TO the schools and not into the districts general fund, where it can be absorbed and unaccounted for. And the money can't be conditional on curriculum etc.

Number of students times x amount = ?? and send the check.

It doesn't take a DOE to do that.
 
That’s fine. I agree the left is stupid, but that doesn’t mean Trump isn’t stupid too. I’m just pointing out that current policy decisions are stupid. Tariffs are ignorant of economics and extremely short sighted. I’m here for competent government from whichever side wants to do it. I’m not sure we’re capable of that anymore. It saddens me deeply.

You're continuing to miss the point on who is in charge....you trust the KEA/KY BOE, Liggins, etc? I don't.
 
I posted the same things before the election. Your inability to understand economics doesn’t make it 4 dimensional.

There’s a major difference in prices going up because of policy reasons or demand, and prices going up because the government dropped trillions of dollars out of a helicopter.
Dude prices are up because of his DA tariffs, piss poor relationships with allies and clown show economic policies.
He is a DISASTER on economic and foreign policy.
Millions of Americans are regretting their votes whether you acknowledge it or not.
 
No, I'm not. If you read what I said, the Federal funds bypass those entities and go directly to the schools. And I recognize that voters have a better chance to impact local and state governments agencies, as compared to wielding ANY influence on the Federal level.

This guy championed Bidenomics. Might have been the only guy on the forum who said “Bidenomics” and wasn’t mocking lefties.

Keep that in mind for any lurkers who think he might be making a point about economics.
 
I think it depends on what you're using tariffs for. In this case, I think it is to pressure our trading partners into agreeing to free trade where NOBODY imposes tariffs.
You have no idea what you're talking about about.
That's not what his cabinet members are saying. They all said on the Sunday news shows the tariffs are to pressure control of fentanyl at the border.
Totally incoherent economic policy of a mad man.
🤡 Show





 
DOE should be disbanded. If federal government still collects as much income tax, that should be sent to the schools on a per pupil basis. Going forward, schools get bonuses, which can be passed on to the teachers as compensation, based on the amount of taxes over a set baseline its alumni are paying into the system. You produce higher quality productive members of society, you get rewarded as a school.

Move those goalposts. You're sooooooo predictable. You forgot what your comment was.

Let me get this straight.

When Trump threatens Putin, he doesn't mean it.

But when Trump threatens tariffs, he totally means it.

Got it, your twisted, stupid logic.

What tariffs? Trump hasn't been president for two months and prices have been up for years.

The only thing you're pointing out is that you have a dumbass opinion. You're demonstrating that you don't understand how Trump thinks and you don't remember 2017-2019. How did this country get by financially before 1913?
 
As I've said, I don't think tariffs are much of a problem. It's not knowing what they will be tomorrow, much less in a month. It creates uncertainty both for investments & families. Neither likes that one dam bit. MAGA is fine with that though. Keep em guessing. Yea!

Have you been locked in a closet since Trump took office?? Prices are up on EVERYTHING and going higher with tariffs.
Stocks are sinking EVERY day.
He is a lunatic just like many predicted.
Honestly he's way worse than I thought he'd be.

It's called fruit of the poisoned tree. The whole thing is unnecessary and useless. Standardized education doesn't work. All it does is make teachers teach to the test, which is always dumbed down to include those who underachieve.

The DOE wastes almost ALL of its money. Just give it to the states and let them make their own decisions.

OR

Give the money to parents as a tax break so they can afford private schools! We're talking about $5k per student here.

No, MAGA is tired of paying 50% of our income to the fedgov and having it wasted. It's time foreign countries who have been ripping us off give some of that money back. We're freaking broke. And newsflash, tariffs raise wages at home and create jobs. Stop fearmongering, you come off like a complete ignoramus.
 
Dept of Education....someone enlighten me on the true benefits of dismantling this dept and the rules and regs going back to the states? Given the past waste, one might think this dept could be revamped to benefit most. For example, if KY were not house/senate controlled by Repubs, the last thing I would want is Andy and our liberal BOE fully in charge. They have too much say as it is, and I can't imagine not having anyone overseeing their liberal ignorant policies. We see how that is happening on the local level in Fayette w/ Liggins and Murphy.
something like 80% of DoE money goes to wages. They aren't teaching kids. It's just a money grab. Education has dropped off since it was created by Jimmy Carter. Let that sink in... one of the last things Carter did was to create that dept. Nothing he did was good for America so why would anyone think this is different? LOL.
