Casey Finnigan posted:I mean I only worked as a teacher's assistant and substitute teacher for a few months but I worked with every grade and in both NYC and NJ I didn't particularly notice anything like that. I'm a non-straight person who would be all for it but I dunno. The kids were mostly just typical, very, very stressful kids. I worked a good while in a suburb's schools for the last three years and I didn't see anything quite like that... ...BUT I did encounter a couple either transgender or certainly very non-gender norm presenting kids who were all pretty open about that side of themselves with seemingly little to no care by the cis kids. As if it was no big deal and just another banal everyday thing like "the kid with red hair", or "the kid who moved here from Sweden". I saw this on all three levels, middle, high and elementary too. Granted I'm from urban/suburban New England. So I don't want to pretend this is reflective of like lots of places. I'm sure it's still a total nightmare to be a gay kid in red states, let alone transgender. Grape fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Mar 20, 2019 |

Alkydere posted:Does this really surprise you? A large chunk of the issues we're having now is because of an aging chunk of population with outsized economic and political power spent their developing years being told the world will end in nuclear hellfire. Boomers childhood and early adulthood were a mixture of the post WWII realization of "Holy poo poo we have HOW MUCH industrial wealth?" while constantly being told the USSR has created another terror weapon or a 1,000 of them (to counter our terror weapons) and is threatening to use them Any Day NowTM. My experience with boomer conservatives is that they're trying to stop America from changing to something even slightly different, not that they think we're all going to die.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Yeah, the point isn't that it will just vaguely get worse. the point is that once there is a branch of government dedicated to censorship that it instantly becomes politicalized, no matter how noble the original intent was. we could start a very good internet censorship program that blocked only bad sites, but once you have a government controlled internet filter someone is going to have to be in charge of updating that list, and that becomes eternally a target for whoever wants or has power. If our generation manages to begin to address the existential and political problems of our age, it will preclude participation in gov by the chuds that caused these problems in the first place. America's ossified electoral and legal instutions will not allow for these problems to be properly addressed while they survive.

The fact that republicans in general have taken abuse from Trump, sometimes directly to their face, and will then work with him is goddamned hilarious. If my boss had said that to millions of people that my significant other was a big loser then I’d quit. If Kellyanne doesn’t say anything in response to that, clearly there’s something they know about her that’s preventing her from speaking up. Same goes for Cruz.

If my boss had said that to millions of people that my significant other was a big loser then I’d quit. Why is that hilarious? Klobuchar makes her staffers do her laundry and overall abuses the hell out of them. Politics, like the media, is a prestige business and sometimes you gotta suck it up if you want to work in the big leagues.

To my knowledge, she has not been mentioned as having been involved in criminal activity, either. ETA: she is still an awful person.

Hey I don't doubt that there are a bunch of crazy evangelical types. I just extremely disagree that that viewpoint is the driving force behind Boomers, even among end of times types themselves. I think it has more to do with entitlement, greed, ignorance, and prejudice.

To my knowledge, she has not been mentioned as having been involved in criminal activity, either. I'm inclined to say she isn't on any particular grift so there's less you can pin on her. She's awful no doubt, but unlike everyone else she was also an established professional doing actual campaign related work and was probably not involved in any of the Trump Jr. Russian shenanigans. I love the fact Trump is trying to destroy her marriage though. She's just trying to get through her next big payday in 2020 and neither Trump nor her husband are making it easy for her.

how do people who write about politics for a living not understand the entire point of packing the court is ensuring a republican never takes the presidency ever again? quote:Sounds great. Except that this isn't at all what would happen. What would happen — with something close to complete certainty — is this: The next time Republicans took control of the presidency and the Senate, they would immediately expand the court further — by another two seats, or four, or six. Hell, why wouldn't they just double the number of justices? Or triple them? And then the Democrats would do the same yet again after that. https://theweek.com/articles/830082/dumbest-democratic-idea-court-packing

Like, she'll be fine, just like everyone who doesn't go to jail in this mess will probably be fine, but I don't think she's going to have some kind of long-term successful public career outside of maybe Fox. I know people who don't give a poo poo about Trump or politics at all who still recognize her as an especially loathsome individual. There's a level of shameless sycophancy that's just wildly obvious and turns off just about everyone.
