No. My parents didn't have as much money as they put on and the economy was falling apart there. In another universe, I stayed there after high school and ~15 years later, I voted for Trump out of spite. gently caress other universe Rocko. Although hopefully in that universe Hillary or Bernie won. Or maybe even Gore.

Issue is that trans people are still considered icky by a lot of so-called progressives who are cool with minorities as long as they act as they are supposed to. So don't count on that much support from the Dems other than out of sheer Trump hate

Yeah, the top three no no's for your average "progressive" are:

1. Black people doing literally anything about cops killing them.
2. Treating transgendered as people.
3. Casting any white comic, book, or game character as anything other than white in a film, no matter how minor the character. Sam Jackson as Nick Fury gets the only pass.

I don't know poo poo about childhood education, but is there a chance that Dylan could be a nine-year-old with a learning disability?

If this is real, he would pretty much have to be. Kindergarten is basic phonics (5-6 years old), 1st grade deals with spelling, vocabulary building, and penmanship (6-7 years old). By 2nd grade, you're usually reading Chapter Books or low-end Young Reader - poo poo like, Mouse and the Motorcycle. (7-8 years old). By third grade, you're learning cursive, more advanced vocabulary, and should be writing the basics of essays - paragraph formation, subject/predicate, and so forth (8-9 years old). Even if we're being generous, this kid has the literacy of a 1st grader.

Yes. We know. If you want to make yourself and others feel miserable, at least try to keep up with current events.


I might just be a monster devoid of any empathy, but honestly, this thread gets a lot less interesting, when it comes to your national topics. Sure it sucks when tens of billions of people might lose their insurance. But ultimately it wont really have an effect on geopolitics. And while I do feel bad about the transgender people serving in your army, the same holds true there. All this insanity feels just like a weird TV show when I know it wont directly affect my country. On the other hand, I was legitimately in a panic in the days leading up to November and couldn't stop checking the polls and reading articles and even comments, because I knew how terrible Trump would be for the world.
Right now I am way more interested how Trump will react to the new Russian (and unfairly also Iranian) sanctions.
I guess what I'm saying is that I feel bad for not feeling as invested as before. But frankly, it feels way better and whenever I read Covok's overdone panic, it only alienates me from the real people who suffer in your country.

I genuinely ask you to stop this Covok. We all know that you only post to make others feel worse. Either you are just trolling, or you are doing your best to make everyone else feel as miserable as you do. In any case, it's only harmful without any point. Most of the time your wild predictions only feel like throwing everything at the wall so you can smugly claim "told ya" afterwards. What I like most about this thread is that, compared to most political discussions, it is very rational and calm. But you keep shouting and disturbing the flow. In a sense you are similar to Trump.

I think your feeling this way is the result of the republicans being unable to do poo poo for six months despite controlling everything. hard to take them seriously anymore

I mean I do because I have to because they're in power but I am really starting to feel like they can't do poo poo and aren't gonna do poo poo.

None of us disagree here. You're just uselessly preaching at the choir. Do you seriously assume that any of the (serious) posters in this thread believe that there are legitimate reasons for that move? That's just plain insulting.
