Using the internet to avoid dealing with problems in real life is an unhealthy crutch.

So is pretending the internet is not part of “real life” like it’s 1998.

policies require that kids with learning disabilities can have an IEP (Individualized Education Program)and teachers have to come up with alternative learning for multiple kids, leaving them with little time to do anything else.

Please don’t throw mud at IEPs. I grew up in the 70s when all the “removed” kids were lumped in together regardless of issue, and now have a son who can only attend public school due to having an IEP and specialized support.

If more money needs to be spent to help teachers (including getting more of them or more help for those who there are) I’m all for it, but this sounds a little current-POTUS-ish.

Hungary’s government launches war on drugs, but ignores root causes

Well that sounds pretty familiar to folks in the US.

Many hugs to you guys!

I’m no-shit sincerely happy to see the rest of the world putting their finger in his eye.

Yes, any retaliatory action will affect us all, but we were already going to all be affected by the buffoonery that those people voted in.

At least this way it will help get him the fuck out of power and limit his damage in the meantime. And not just Musk, Trump and his pet Vance too!

No argument from this US Citizen.

TBF I explicitly said “Not Satan.”

Hmm who do we know that will sell anything that isn’t tied down and currently controls the US government and is buddy buddy with Putin? No, not Satan, but you are close!

I wish I wasn’t so sure you were right.

US right now:

Republicans: Meh, what’s the big deal?

It’s something, but it still applies to his commanders and everyone who followed the orders. (including him - though it wasn’t my intent to single him out)

Maybe in his case it would be a valid defense, especially since he publicly spoke out about it. It didn’t go over well at Nuremberg, but I think it’s clear there will be no prosecutions for Israelis over this.

Just following orders…

No, I meant anointed by the God-Emporer.

“I have a clear mandate.” 🤮

Shocking that the Republicans started liking him when he became more and more fascist and racist. They tell you all day long how we falsely accuse them of bigotry and racism, but they support it every last time.

Edit: I continue to love the one Lemmy maga who shows up to downvote any comment critical of the admin or Musk, but who never has the courage to disagree openly with anyone. I hope you read this, Sir, or Madam, so you can know the joy I take in finding evidence of your passing through a thread, even on my own comments.

It’s like finding sasquatch poop in the wild.

His approval rating is low? Might matter for anyone who needed to be elected. Doesn’t matter for the anointed.

Man I don’t have enough time in the day to be doing that.

I save my cynical outbursts for when he gets caught. And I have reasons, though you may not agree with them.

I think it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that our government is incapable of dispensing consequences to this man, regardless of what he does, regardless of where his loyalties clearly lie, regardless of how he continually works at the destruction of the United States of America. So we’re not surprised at where things are four years from Jan 21 like we were four years from Jan 06.

While we are all tempted by the complacent comfort of “someone in government will handle it” now that he’s actually at the peak of his power, it seems key that we all remember “no one in government handled it” for four years when he was out of power and arguably at his weakest.

Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.

I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters. – Mr. Donald J. Trump
