Trump would make her a SCOTUS justice if she was attractive. Hell, she doesn't even really need to be a good lawyer to be a GOP shill, just repeat the Heritage Foundation reports.

Law schools are like 80% liberal so if you can just get in as a conservative to a good law school you will 100% have a well paying job shilling for any well-funded right wing issue that some psycho billionaire has decided to make their legacy.

Well you have to pass the LSAT to get in the door and in order to do that you need to know what the LSAT is first so we’re safe from one less for now.

All Quiet on the Western Front was literally assigned reading when I was in 8th grade, so I guess my school was really inappropriate. Seriously how the hell is this guy so stupid, if the worst thing his teenage sister is interested in is adult-level reading, he's fortunate.

Generation Kill loving owns it’s probably the only popular media I’ve ever seen in this “troop respectin’” era that comes remotely close in showing how loving stupid life in the military is. I’m pretty sure I actually read generation kill at that age since it came out when I was a preteen so lmao. Edit and yeah all quiet on the western front is a popular middle school novel. I also read 1984 and Brave New World around that time as well. 20 bucks says the brother is a chud who thinks that generation kill doesn’t respect da troops enough but is okay with sanitized glorified violence.

If the 13 yr old wants to read the story of the goddamn eye let her, kudos to her for reading books she’s interested in and being a self motivated reader. My mom let me read whatever I wanted to, she was just happy that I loved reading so much. She even bought me my first Judy Blume books. Parents who don’t encourage their kids interests are the worst, even if it’s “beyond” their age.

I was expecting it to be about her reading fanfiction smut, but instead he's freaking out because he walked in on her sipping tea and furrowing her brows as she studies the collected annals of western literature while sitting in a huge leather chair and smoking a corncob pipe.

Yeah uh as a voracious reader at 13 there's a lot worse kinds of 'age inappropriate' she could be getting into than 'books dealing with heavy topics such as war, death, and loss'. Like 13 year olds are old enough to decide what topics they want to engage with recreationally. She's not 7.

And hell there's plenty of stuff that's specifically for kids that deals with heavy poo poo because it turns out you don't turn 18 and suddenly magically know about unhealthy relationships and death and war. Steven Universe? The horrors of war and the psychological damage that lingers long after the final battle. The new She-Ra? Let's talk about child abuse! Even stuff I grew up with was like... Animorphs was literally about how you cannot come out of a war undamaged and without blood on your hands no matter how just the cause you're fighting for is, and also all the protagonists are like 12. Do doofuses like that think it's fine for kids to read that stuff as long as it's dressed up in pastel colors and wacky hijinks, or do they try to keep anything remotely mentally stimulating away from kids no matter what?

You can't be an honest Christian and be right wing. I'm not Christian though I was raised Christian and frankly the right wing ultra-conservative "religious" types are the type of people that would really piss Jesus off. If you want to be a hardcore ultra-conservative you need to omit a whole lot more of the bible than the live and let live kind of Christians.

I'm getting some flags of neglect for a kid who's visiting neighbours by herself after 9 PM and doesn't understand about other people's property. I suppose it's apparently grandparents rather than parents, but still. I'm guessing they might be the type who consider any female over 10 to be automatically a caretaker of children regardless of circumstances.
