American Politics 16: After The Ballooning

That is so sad I hope the teacher survives and the boy and class get therapy.

Therapy? You know there is a prosecutor out their just chomping at the bit to prosecute this kid. If what’s his face in Michigan is any example, I suspect the parents will be doing some serious time over this….

Depends on the legal age of criminal intent in this state is.

The article says they can’t be prosecuted

Glad we got to watch the House jerk itself off for a week, now we can get into the real business of two years of absolutely sweet fuck all being done for us.

I think the focus should be on desantis, not trump. Because of his attempted coup, trump cannot legally hold office. Trump is done. But desantis is even more dangerous than trump. He could pull off what trump failed to do.

"Trump is done" the six-year void echoed, on and on, into eternity.

Indeed. How long have we listened about Ron Paul?

That almost reads like you feel sorry for the kid and the parents?

Oh don’t worry. They are looking out for us by having 52 investigations of Hunter Bidens laptop. They won’t find anything as he is too tricky.

You mean the investigations they did 3 years ago, when Trump had possession of it for over a year?

obviously we need 365 more because who knows
there might be an infinitesimally small speck of dust "proving" all their allegations... whatever those are nowadays...

My sister's a teacher in Virginia — fortunately not in Newport News. Her school has been having major, major problems with student behavior since the return to in-person schooling, with kids making death threats against teachers and other students and engaging in conspiracies in an effort to get teachers they've taken a dislike to fired. I suspect Youngkin and other Republicans' attacks on educators are at least partially responsible.

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with unnecessarily locking the kids indoors for a whole year when they would have otherwise been making significant social development?

The paranoia over children as if they're suddenly conspiring to be far-right terrorists is funny though. I'll give ya that. I guess it's only natural the people with an irrational and genocidal fear of babies would also fear children.

Given that we have the same issues here, I doubt Youngkin has played a significant part. It was likely just the massive disruption of Covid. Kids are behind, so they're getting pressures to catch up. And they're showing behavioral issues as a result.

it would totally have been better to leave them in schools and have them get a mentally and physically debilitating disease several times per year. right.

it’s not a fear, it’s not genocide, it’s not irrational, and extrapolating one person’s concerns into “all leftists fear children” is either dishonest or fucking stupid.

Oh yes, my sister is also a teacher, and these children are absolute monsters. But I doubt Republican lawmakers have anything to do about it. Social media might though. Being a child on social media seems to be like getting screamed at every day to be a psycochotic Nazi. There was actually a big problem with the boys of the school being fans of Andrew Tate.

No wonder, Republicans don’t want Trump, he’s a walking debt trap!

[The Black Forrest]

So they didn’t go after wealthy people? Strange. I knew a guy in the investigations group and he said their favorite people were wealthy people.

Still cutting down taxes is not going to jumpstart the economy. Not where 87K investigators are concerned. Then again it is the party which likes to spout the platitudes of the free market and trickle down.

Oh well time will tell I guess.

Nope, they passed a rule saying sites like ebay, esty and airbnb have to report people who make more then $700, and you need to report this income,

I'm sure the people doing the investigations love going after the wealthy, but that's not what the resources are for. They're for crushing side gigs with compliance costs to push people back into the job market.

I did find a few comments about their effort was indeed against the lower classes and not much effort done on wealthy class.

So yea..it sounds like a good move. Probably paid far more in expenses then income generated…..

I'm not a fan of throwing stuff at politicians. Why not cuss them out instead?

Because no one remembers the random people that cussed out George Bush. Everyone remembers the time someone threw a shoe at him.

The man in question was throwing the White Claw to Ted Cruz, as he tells it. He's a supporter of Cruz.
