He was forced to, how? Nobody has the power to force him do anything.

He read the writing on the wall and stepped aside. Something Trump would never do.

God, I wish it were that easy.

Again, you’re giving massive benefit of the doubt by assuming the psychotic parent is not racist and that he’s telling the truth about the bullying situation, especially when his actions don’t seem to match his words.

Just because he says he’s not racist, doesn’t mean he’s not racist. And his actions look pretty damn racist.

Because even a moment’s consideration will tell you a situation where the district superintendent and only the district superintendent is responsible for poor handling of a disciplinary situation is extremely fucking unlikely.

You are going out of your way to give a psychotic parent who assaulted a school official benefit of the doubt that he has not earned.

Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there’s no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter’s hand?

And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn’t make what he did OK. He’s marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter’s last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

Even so, still better than a perpetual Trump dictatorship.

If Trump wins, he will, without a doubt, try again to end American democracy. He did before. And whatever you think of our current situation, at least we have a fucking voice right now.

So when Trump pulls another January 6, but succeeds this time and declares himself president for life, do you think that will make the situation better or worse?

And that’s a big part of why, despite everything Biden is doing, I am 100% voting for him. Because if Biden wins, there will be a 2028 election where we can hopefully find someone better, and I’m not convinced that there will be under Trump.

Four years of Trump came really close to turning this country into a kakistocratic dictatorship. I really don’t want to give him another chance.

And you think that would be different under Trump?

Trump and Bibi are besties. There wouldn’t even be the token resistance Biden puts up; he’d hand Israel enough weapons to turn Gaza into a glass parking lot, and probably would have done the same to Columbia by now.

The thing about it is, Biden can be pressured to, eventually, take steps towards the right thing. Trump cannot; he already sees everyone but himself and his bootlickers as subhuman anyway.

If my life has taught me anything, it’s that the rules no longer apply to you when you’re rich.

And if the last few months have taught me anything, it’s that the greatest crime any American can commit is criticizing Israel about anything ever.

I mean, clearly she did her research for that movie.

Oh no!

Anyway…

What do you think they are? Teslas?

Or like they do with right wing thugs, like the ones that attacked protestors at UCLA.

You’re not defending Jews, you’re defending Israel. More specifically, you’re defending Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. And you’re using ableist slurs to do it, so nice job.

You’re not helping your case that you’re not a Nazi with that one, you know.

I’m not sure we read the same article. The one I read pointed out that many of his criticisms are indeed legitimate, but it’s his framing of them that furthers the cause of antisemitism, pointing out that he frames the criticisms as an issue of Christians vs. Jews rather than Palestinians vs. Israelis.

Hey, trust me, I know how this shit goes. I’m in Kansas.

California has been trying to build a bullet train from LA to SF for decades. Would love to see them get some help with it.

Texas figured it out?

Texas?

Yeah, this is a real low point. This one hurts.
