Popular Post RupertKBD Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 This is the kind of thing that happens when MAGA policies and a POS like Greg Abbott get together: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/us/library-cuts-and-teachers-quitting-texas-s-takeover-of-houston-schools/ar-BB1jm5zE?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=b3e5b1db612c47a8bec0691d48f30cc2&ei=36 Quote The Republican governor, Greg Abbott, announced last year that the state of Texas would take control over the Houston Independent school district in June 2023 and replace democratically-elected school board members with state-appointed ones. The move was criticized as part of Abbott’s agenda of expanding charter schools in Texas as one of his legislative priorities has been pushing a bill to expand vouchers for charter schools that failed to garner enough support to pass in 2023. Floyd Mike Miles, the CEO of charter school corporation Third Futures Schools, was appointed superintendent of the Houston Independent school district last June by the Texas education agency. Miles previously served as superintendent of the Dallas schools district before resigning in 2015. An online petition calling for Miles’ removal has received more than 13,000 signatures. The petition criticized Miles’ spending of $470,000 of district funds on a school play produced by a family member, and criticized his role in keeping schools open during heating issues several schools faced this winter. Quote Under Miles, the district is implementing a New Education System (NES) reform program, where teachers are directed to teach based on provided curriculum and scripted lessons with their pay tied to standardized test score performances and proficiency screenings to retain their jobs at NES schools. Quote A librarian at a non-NES school who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation said employees are worried about their schools potentially being forced into the new education system program and that fear has taken the joy out of school. “I was told I should start looking for something new because it’s possible my position won’t exist next year,” they said. “It’s very, very apparent that the teachers are unhappy.” Since the state of Texas has taken over Houston public schools, 633 teachers have resigned from August 2023 to January 2024, nearly twice as many teachers as the previous two school years. In all of this, it's the kids that inevitably end up the losers. It appears as though Abbott wants to challenge Florida as the state with the worst education system in America.... 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can use 'less than ideal'. Maybe I was too harsh to Joe. I am quite sensitive about age discrimination lately. I've just become a Peace Officer at 49. In the last few months of training I have faced discrimination based on my age. The highlight was a dude saying " why would you try to do this at your advanced age?"...well, he and the rest of my class found out. I placed top of my group in the physical tests and use of force ( I am a blackbelt). I also got the highest grade in the classroom courses. Sad thing is I felt the pressure to achieve that, to prove I was not 'too old'. However, I have always thought that if a countries leader is within spitting distance of avg life expectancy they should probably not run again. So, both these guys. I mentioned in the post to DB that one is a worse choice than the other. To be clear Trump is the worst pile of shit I have seen grace US politics. I thought he was shit before he got in the first time and my opinion of him has only gotten worse. Why I think Joe is a shit less than ideal choice is: - as i mention and same with Trump...just too old. - Joe's age and potentially health are making his supporters worry. He has done some great things but he is looking frail and unsteady. I do not think he has lost it mentally like DT but he doesnt look great to me. - Trump should not win again if the US has any hope of a decent future. The idea that the Dems are going with Joe again makes me nervous due to the things I stated above. I feel if the dems had found a younger person, it would have been a slam dunk.

Joe has been around a long time, (as people love to point out) and in that time, he's worked closely with many people on the other side of the aisle. (Especially before Newt Gingrich and the Tea Party fucked things up) So one has to wonder: Would Gavin Newsome, or Gretchen Whitmer been able to achieve as much as Joe? It could be that either of them would wipe the floor with Trump....or it could be that American bias against electing a woman as POTUS continues.....it could be that people look at California and ask, "Is that what we want America to look like?"

I'll agree that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was poorly executed, but it was originally negotiated by the Trump Administration. As far as Inflation goes, this is a long running debate between those that dislike left leaning governments and people like myself. I've always maintained (and will continue to do so) that Covid and the Ukraine war are the leading causes for the current inflation situation, although I know you'll disagree. That being said, it's worth pointing out that the US is doing better than any of the other G8 economies, so I'd say JB is doing about as well as could be expected. The US border is a no-win situation, IMO. One thing I will remind you of however, is that Biden was ready to sign a bipartisan immigration bill. One that was approved of by the Border Services Union.

Let's say for sake of argument that Joe once again beats Trump in November and T>rump somehow miraculously avoids going to jail. Why couldn't he run in 2028? Would Republicans run a 2 time loser? They certainly don't seem to have an issue with that right now, considering how elections have gone for them since 2016.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he is clearly a weak old man and isn’t getting any sharper. And yes, I could quite easily make an huge list about that orange cunt as well. Immigration: To say this problem is all Biden's fault is absolutely incorrect. This (like housing) is a problem that has existed for decades. Immigration reform has been non existent for multiple administrations. There is a bipartisan Senate bill sitting there that the House QOP refuses to take up. The border isn't wide open and Biden hasn't done less than any other administration. Hell, during the Obama administration, they deported more people in term 1 and in term 2 than TRUMP did in his term. Hardly soft of immigration. Afghanistan: TRUMP negotiated the withdraw terms. Both his and Biden's administrations thought that the Afghan army could hold out better than they did. They didn't. Retreats and withdraws are messy affairs. Go look into the withdraw from Vietnam. Lots of parallels. Inflation: World wide thing. Actually, the US fared better than a number of developed nations. (from last year) https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/the-us-economic-recovery-in-international-context-2023 California Well, Forbes does have it as a top 10 worse state. Yet, Tennessee has a way worse violent crime rate, a very similar property crime rate, and a much greater chance of being a victim of a violent crime, yet it ranks below Cali. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/criminal-defense/crime-rate-by-state/ As you said, it's a state issue, but there are Republican run states on that list that are just as bad, or worse.

Afghanistan: Trump didn’t do shit in ensuring that assets were recovered. Trump didn’t have any plan whatsoever even though he was the one that made the decision to pull out. Biden was the one that had to quickly make the pivot. He fucked it up, I agree. But the decision was made prior to Biden’s administration. Inflation: Both are/have been going down. Check it out. California: Biden doesn’t control California. Do you want Biden meddling in State affairs? At the end of the day, who is better for Canada and the world?

The Arrogant Worms Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Mark Cuban Slams Trump as a ‘Snake Oil Salesperson’ Whose Voters Don’t Care If His Policies Work or Not https://www.mediaite.com/politics/mark-cuban-slams-trump-as-a-snake-oil-salesperson-whose-voters-dont-care-if-his-policies-work-or-not/ Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban tore into former President Donald Trump this week after publicly announcing he would vote for President Joe Biden in a match-up against Trump. “I don’t want a snake oil salesperson as President. I’m voting for Biden/Harris over Trump all day every day,” Cuban told Axios in an email Tuesday. Cuban had told Bloomberg News on Monday that he would support Biden, no matter how old he is. “If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban told Bloomberg after a White House meeting on prescription drugs – an industry Cuban has working to disrupt in recent years. One will tell you his snake oil will cure everything that ails you. The other will show you the details of his policies through charts, graphs and statements.He is precise and methodical and wants to sell the steak. Not the sizzle. Trump voters are happy with their snake oil whether it works or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
