That wasn't a question. That was a statement. I answered it anyway though. Apparently basic grammar still escapes you.

Honestly I wouldn't care. We know Trump is a buffoon and you can't edit that away.

I'm at a title one. I've seen kids pull the race card or other BS so many times. But fortunately our admin doesn't buy it 99% of the time. A few years ago I had a kid accuse me of racism because I wouldn't let him sit next to his friend, since they had a tendency to be disruptive. The principal actually came in and put them both on blast in front of the class for being stupid. There's just so many ways a kid, even just with an accusation, can sink your career. One of the first things I learned was always CYA, because nobody else is going to.

I don't know why anyone cares about this. I assume that any TV interview like this is edited because they have time constraints. If somebody likes to give meandering answers or has a speech or vocal tic, what are they going to do? They're going to edit for time.

If you knew anything about me, and you don't, you'd know how very very wrong you are.

He's probably never seen a map other than the Mercator projection and thinks it's a huge landmass. No wonder he loves the uneducated, since he apparently is as well.

My district cut jobs and staff. Using standardized tests as a measurement is a bad idea for a variety of reasons.

When I joined, I signed in October but didn't ship until late January.

I think a better solution is this. Though it'll never happen because it makes too much sense. The fighting between the Israelis and Palestinians won't stop because they're just like two neighbors that no matter what, will just never get along. Somebody is always going to be mad about some real or imagined slight. So the solution is a little complex, but it's workable. The Palestinians give up any and all claims to Gaza and the West Bank. Israel turns Jerusalem over to the UN. Egypt cedes a few hundred square km or so of land along the border with Sudan on the Red Sea to become the new Palestinian state. Israel pays the cost to build basic infrastructure, roads, tract housing, etc. and the cost to transport the Palestinians to this new territory. The Palestinians sign an agreement stating that their government will forever not attack Israel or Israeli interests ever. Israel gets: Undisputed control over Gaza and the West Bank, plus peace of mind that their neighbors won't do anything. Palestinians get: Their own, undisputed, free and clear new territory with basic infrastructure that is far away from Israel. Egypt gets: Rid of the problems Gaza presents, and the Palestinians are far away from anything in Egypt that could cause them problems. Does anybody get what they want 100%? No. But everyone gets something and it is enough to make everyone at least a little bit happy and minimizes the chances of an Israeli/Palestinian conflict breaking out due to proximity.

If he follows through with his cocaine induced boast, the Arab world is going to hate him forever.

This is going to end up well. /S

Well apparently you don't understand the Constitution very well. Anyone in this country, regardless of legal status, enjoys the same civil rights. Due process, etc. This isn't a banana Republic no matter what Trump thinks, where summary judgements are allowed.

That's part of my belief right there. Our country has kind of gotten soft. Our power and wealth has let a lot of people, all political persuasions, get too comfortable and we've lost our killer instinct.

How is understanding your rights and educating people on them breaking the law?

Except I'm not. I'm just looking at it common sense wise.

So what makes this any different from the dozens of crimes that US citizens commit? They're in jail and being prosecuted. What else can you do?

He isn't the reincarnation of anything. He is just a terrible person who convinced a lot of people he's the best choice to lead this country. The fact it got to this point where we elected an actual criminal rapist (which isn't in dispute at all) is insane. Besides him being a piss poor leader who would sell out this country in a heartbeat, like he's doing now, if it would benefit him in some way, he's a terrible role model and example for kids. I really avoid discussing politics in class, but more kids bring things up and I do my best to explain the difference between right and wrong. And explaining that unless you're wealthy, born that way and incredibly privileged, you can succeed despite being a terrible person. That's depressing that I need to do that.

It's a shame you can't read.

A real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’ THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse: That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."

(https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-trump-campaign-protests-20160313-story.html) That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-orders-protesters-coat-is-confiscated-and-he-is-sent-into-the-cold-a6802756.html) That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!"

(https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2018/06/04/451570/confronting-cost-trumps-corruption-american-families/) What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also... hear me... charitable. Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

He filed another bill to get rid of OSHA. And kicking it down to the states is a bad idea.

Except if the bill proposed by Andy Biggs from Arizona gets traction you won't need to worry about OSHA anymore.

Yes you will. He's already started doing things he said he wouldn't do and instead of pretending he'd never heard of Project 2025 it's now his playbook. I think a lot of people like you support him because you don't want to admit you fell for the lies of a career con man who is now a convicted felon.
