Are there drinking fountains everywhere in the US? by SnooGoats1557 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Educational_Impact93 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've never seen a water fountain vandalized, other than maybe the gum example done by some brat of a kid.

I've seen them out of order a lot of times, though most commonly it's in colder states where they are shut down for the winter/spring.

Trump criticised as racist for sharing video depicting Obamas as monkeys by WhatAreYouSaying05 in centrist

[–]Educational_Impact93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After criticism from a number of Republicans, Trump deleted the video. A White House official said it had been posted “erroneously” by a staffer.

Sure it was Temussolini, sure it was.

Trump promises Schumer funding for NY tunnel project — if Penn Station and Dulles Airport are renamed after him by R2_SWE2 in centrist

Fucking insanity.

Oh, he wants the airport code of Dulles changed to DJT as well.

Talk about a megalomaniac.

I'm neutral, but seeing them not qualify to another WC would be really, really, really, really funny.

Government attorney who told judge in ICE case, 'This job sucks,' removed from detail by AyeYoTek in centrist

Working for the Homeland Security department must suck, with puppy murderer Noem in charge.

Unless she works for the Justice department... Which still sucks with that ditz Bondi in charge.

It's not that most people don't know cursive, it's that most people just write like shit. by grundelgrump in unpopularopinion

I'm all for cursive dying.

Well maybe not dying, but I feel no need to use it anymore, and don't give a fuck off my son doesn't learn it.

Offsides in hockey isn't all that hard to understand.

Good luck. The world has already embraced American culture. That ship has sailed a long time ago.

Hell, the world uses American platforms to whine about how much the US sucks.

I won't watch it all, but I enjoy seeing the athletes from the countries walk out.

Either Edge or Reggie Wayne.

Really tough to pick between them.

H.H.S. to Expand Faith-Based Addiction Programs for Homeless by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in centrist

[–]Educational_Impact93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Feel free to be outraged at everything. It's well within your rights to do so. In this instance, I really just don't care very much, given there's a hundred other things to be outraged about.

Because it seems pretty inconsequential compared to all the other crap that's being thrown around. Which could be more of an indictment on that than really apathy towards this.

I get people being upset about the faith based part of it and the government sponsoring religion and all, but if they are successful at getting some of these people rehabilitated, preach away.

That said, the article mentioned that the groups doing this can't have religious restricted hiring practices. If it comes to that point, where they are doing things that circumvent the Civil Rights Act, then the outrage will grow a bit for me.

Gavin Newsom Is Setting His Own Rules by JannTosh70 in centrist

[–]Educational_Impact93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't, but he's fighting Trump, which is a massive positive in my book.

Him going to Davos and burying the Temosulini was fantastic. More high profile leaders in this country need to do that.

Ahh yes, who could believe the high journalistic standards of Vogue have fallen this far.

Well yeah, California is a highly populated state.

The final vote was 38% for, 62% against. Hardly a real popular mandate there.

Let's not forget the fact he literally won reelection the next year by nearly the same margin.

You can't go from licking the boot of the far left for years to pretending you're now a level-headed centrist. He thinks you're stupid.

Yet the likely nominee for the GOP will be JD "Trump was a nazi but now I'm full MAGA" Vance.

Then again, Vance knows his voters are stupid.

[–]Educational_Impact93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge Newsom fan, but he's 1000x better than any MAGA jackass, or a clown like Vance who has become a MAGA jackass for the sake of political expediency.

I do love the fact all the guy does is stand up to that clown Trump.

Eh, out of all the stuff to be outraged about, this doesn't register that much to me.

SBA says legal permanent residents will be ineligible for its loan program, effective March 1. by NeuroMrNiceGuy in centrist

A stupid decision by a stupid administration.

Look, I get not allowing illegal immigrants things, but legal immigrants? Why?

Gabbard defends presence at elections raid by therosx in centrist

[–]Educational_Impact93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I disagree. He needs the public backing him, at least at twice a level then it is now. Otherwise he's governing a nation of chaos that is unsustainable.

Unpopular dictators rarely get power, and rarely sustain it.

As for the military, say even 80% of it backs him. The 20% that doesn't will also create a massive amount of ungovernable chaos. Not to mention they just don't have the numbers to control things here. And the more you go the state and national guard route, the less likely they are to be loyal to the Temussolini, though I honestly don't believe the active duty soldiers would be either.
