This is where I come from concerning school funding and guidelines I believe we're about the same age and have been there. Leaving the decisions to the states and localities would deepen the divide in education quality between urban and rural areas. The rich communities and counties would get richer, while the inner cities and rural districts would end up fighting for scraps. Finding less funding fewer resources, less support for teachers, administrators and students. I'm very much against any public funding (state, federal or local) going to private institutions. Let's go back to the days that if a church or educational corporation wants to fund a school so be it. But don't take away my taxpayer money to fund your private school.

Trump has never been a competent manager if you've ever done a dive into his companies. Even the few good people he's hired wind up leaving or getting fired. Very few have many positive things to say about him. But America seems lo love clowns, especially a those who in reality are pure assholes, drunks and theives

True, I used to shake my head at family members who used to talk about "the old says". Now I wish I had some wisdom to ask questions about "family secrets" and such.

Two questions, given the timing of Biden's meltdown, who would you have picked to be the alternate nominee. And please show your work. By the way, your side allegedly won the election. I'll bet you won't see Harris spending the next four years pretending it was rigged like our sore loser President Elect and his disciples

As one old enough to remember Geraldine Ferraro and goes way back to liking Republican Margaret Chase Smith, the good old boy network is still in charge, unfortunately. Again I remind myself, it was as recent as the late 1970's when my wife was told by the general manager of the most popular station in Richmond, Va (think of a southern version of WJR back in the day) "A woman will never work morning drive on my station"

Pam Bondi, come on down! You're the next Trump A-G nominee At least she has actual experience as an AG, even if it was Florida

Just another shot in the war against the working class. Just let them know they voted for this.

If you oppose the king. Full force Autocracy.

No more married women or unwed mothers. And if you're divorced...

And it was basically because of FDR that Congress enacted term limits. The Republicans didn't want what would have basically a third term for Truman

My wife was at UVa about the same time as RFKJr. He was a nutcase even back then

Twitter used to be the best aggregator for breaking news, depending on who you followed. Then came Trump's fake news followed by bots and Musk. Now it's worse than Nextdoor

Especially if they find themselves unemployed with no severance. Oh well, maybe they can find jobs cleaning toilets or washing dishes for $5 an hour

And how is that going to reduce the price of eggs?

Not anymore fishier than some of the theories your best friends have talked about the past four years

It's common knowledge Trump promises payment but never delivers. It's also common knowledge that most of the people sitting behind him are recruited online thru places like Craigslist, which is probably used anymore by Trumpers. They also recruit thru Nextdoor.

What about two of Musk's Starlink Satellites magically exploding just days after the election? Sounds fishy to me

It’s all he has. A bad case of whataboutism.There is no known cure among Trolls

Or enduring that 5 plus hour train ride. Amtrak on the Eastern Corridor is so much better. Business Class is very reasonable, $10 a day parking in Richmond and maybe a 2 hour ride to DC. It beats putting up with congestion and crazy drivers on I-95

With Trump’s latest nominations what are the chances we get to see the boardroom style firings reminiscent of his defunct TV show. Celebrity Sycophants every Thursday night on Faux Propaganda

I’ve pretty much cut out soft drinks, especially because of the interactions between the sodas and drug I take for my lungs (Ofev). I’ll do an occasional Ginger Ale but that’s about it. But then I’ve also cut back on wine, except for an occasional small glass of Petite Verdot. Lots of water and the occasional beer if we visit one of the local breweries.
