President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

The full-throttle right wing screech machine media fire hydrant of nonstop balderdash that the economy was in the worst disaster EVARRRR didn't help either.

In fact, we had an inflation burp of a couple years. It was a pain in the ass, but it was also utterly predictable after the crisis cash infusions during and after COVID -- entirely proper and necessary, but Trump had to be dragged reluctantly into doing it over the screeching over the free market capitalism diehards and Herbert Hoover acolytes who argued essentially to let the nation starve (unfortunately this includes Elon Musk).

And after about early 2023, inflation geared back. But not according to the screech media.

 

He's a soulless and unethical businessman from Florida to match our leader, a soulless and unethical businessman from Florida.

 

The thing that adds to the awfulness of Trump voters having elected their candidate is the fact that it's not only him who will be taking over our government. It allows his minions in, too, and many of them may be worse than Trump is, if that's possible.

To wit:

Beware, of course, of Marjorie Taylor Greene. What a witch. But she's been suggested by Steve Bannon to lead the Department of Homeland Security:

God helps us all. It's difficult to imagine lunatics like these running our country, but it really is happening. It's genuinely stomach-turning if you read enough about these people -- again, the ones who are going to be in charge, and with no one to stop them.

None of them have any business being in Washington, but the wackos -- whom Trump would call "very bad people" if they weren't on his side -- have won. It's truly terrifying.

Trump wants to throw out the separation of church and state and institute universal vouchers. His education plan is truly disastrous. Arizona tried giving all students vouchers and it was a financial disaster. Every other voucher program is too small, allowing only a small percentage of students to use them while the most vulnerable students are left behind.

 

Bring it. I will teach the California standards and help students ask questions. I will not become a puppet to brainwash the Hitler Youth.

 

Wait, what about “Parents Rights”? What about “Indoctrination”? Are parents no longer allowed to fight their children being indoctrinated and sexualized by the mention of adultery in the 10 Commandments?

Kind of weird how Elmo and all the wannabe oligarchs went in on Stinky willy-nilly. They didn't all just bet on red. They had info we didn't know.

 

What royally sucks is California is supposed to roll out with ethnic studies as a graduation requirement. I just switched districts so my tenure reset back to probationary for two years. There’s a budget crunch and non permanent teachers could be on the block. Trump’s Hitler Youth revival could cost me my job as ethic studies could have assured my social studies position would be saved.

But also ethic studies is a really cool idea that follows theme rather than a strictly regimented progression. Our kids world get a lot out of it. Now we are going to have loyalty oaths and parents reporting nonpatriotic teachers to the Gestspo.
