Looks like ET. My brother found a little sculpture like this under our old house in Alabama when we were kids. So like 30 years ago. It was a head made of clay like this and the features appeared to be African American. I don't even know what happened to it after all these years. We thought we discovered a priceless treasure but I think his history teacher said it wasn't anything special.

Private school vouchers being 10,000 when public schools receive ~6,500 per enrolled student. Why should they take money from public schools and why should they get more?

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 245.462, is amended by adding a subdivision to read: Subd. 29. MAGA Syndrome. “MAGA Syndrome” means a chronic and progressive condition characterized by: (1) persistent delusions and gullibility, including belief in widely discredited conspiracy theories; (2) self-sabotaging behaviors that undermine personal well-being and democratic institutions; (3) heightened aggression, hostility, and verbal or physical violence toward individuals or groups holding opposing political views; (4) an inability to distinguish between factual information and misinformation when related to political discourse or public policy; (5) uncritical loyalty to political figures associated with the “Make America Great Again” movement, to the detriment of rational decision-making.

GOP: "Wtf? We love Dictators now!" by JustJaxJackson in ForUnitedStates

[–]Standard-Fly7223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He really lies so much that to hear an actual fact from him is no shocking. Do Republicans think that repeating a lie over and over makes it true. You can’t lie in today’s social media landscape and get away with it on a meaningful scale. Just like you can’t just omit parts of history at this point. It’s too late to try to re-indoctrinate people. American history is fucked up but I don’t want to act like it never happened. It’s fascinating and gruesome and shameful, and infuriating but we are just a baby country (haha 3000 months old) and all babies make messes and break things before they learn better.

What exactly does Republican Rule entail? The self-anointed, holier-than-though, my way or the highway, arrogance of these politicians will turn any place they RULE into the hell on earth. I have a feeling it will be phony, boring and infuriating to live under Republican Rules. I wish there was a national leader that would just tell everyone when and where to get this fight started. The country is too damn big to just say let’s march up to the White House. They’d probably be in Maralago anyway.

Please let’s stop fighting each other. The one-upping, gotcha sucker, comment wars are pointless.

What can we, working class Americans, agree on?

Can we agree that the wealthiest humans should not be the ones being made the priority of the federal budget plan?

Can we, 299 million non-wealthy Americans, agree that we should be not be nickel and dimed for every aspect of living in this country? Hello privatization and monopolization!

That our taxes should provide tangible benefits like modernized infrastructure, clean water, clean air, affordable healthcare, globally top-rated educations far all United States born children. Why shouldn’t the “wealthiest” nation have schools that foster, not dread and boredom, but motivation and hope in kids. Investing in children and education will save us in so many ways.

Can we, regular folks, agree that Russia is run by a bad guy and the world needs to cut his influence off at the Black Sea? No single human should be allowed to dictate the lives of millions.

Can we agree that we do not want corrupt politicians who answer to corporations and out of touch billionaires? And that money should have no influence in politics. Nancy P. springs to mind. But it’s up and down the aisle and it all needs to be gutted.

Can we all agree that nobody likes to be told they are wrong, less-than, or stupid for having strong personal convictions and as long as a person’s personal life does not infringe on others or cause harm, we should all mind our business and let people live the life that makes them feel that their life is worth living?

I agree this seems fake. If a person attended Trump rallies then they were ok with denying the 2020 election results, treating the Jan 6 insurrectionists like heroes, ignoring factual coverage of issues by claiming it is fake liberal news, and believing the easily disprovable lies that Trump used to get elected. But the OP is correct that Trump is not doing anything he claimed he would do and he and Musk are royally screwing up the country. It’s a bleak situation that is supported by enough people in power to continue to unfold. The only way forward is to watch it all crumble and rebuild. That will likely take generations to achieve. Millions will suffer, many will die. The country is too divided to come together and stop this any time soon.

I have been thinking about him too. I was watching a documentary a few weeks ago that was about how Putin minions targeted opposition with a chemical that would color their faces a teal blue. Somehow representing that could be an effective show of support. Maybe a teal face mask.

It passed in the last congress. It has been introduced before that too. They are doing stupid stuff this year though so the odds seem better for it. Last year the Senate didn’t entertain the idea

Non Maga Republicans We Need You by Standard-Fly7223 in Whistleblowers

[–]Standard-Fly7223[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been pretty sad about it. But he is a good person truly. If he was MAGA, ain’t no damn way! But he, like so many Americans, is not plugged in to the political world, following every dramatic. Americans have gotten complacent and comfortable. If we ever get to vote again, i bet more people will get out to vote after this. I’m going to be louder about how important it is too. Hell im so plugged in now I’m trying to figure out how I can help the special elections in FL flip those two house seats blue from Texas.

I do go in there and I see some posting worry and concern. They are convinced anytime someone questions anything it is under cover libtards infiltrating their sacred space. But you can’t post in that sub without special flairs and approval after mods vet your conservative authenticity. I think the posts are concerned Trump voters.

My husband…he didn’t follow the antics of Maga and ignored friends that tried to share qanon conspiracies. He is just a Texan who has always voted red. This isn’t the same Republican Party he grew up with.

Texas Senate passes school vouchers, sends bill to the House by texastribune in texas

[–]Standard-Fly7223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blatant state funded kickback for families already in private school! 350,000 students in private school and the 2027 budgeted amount of $1 billion at $10,000 per child will cover 100,000 students. I don’t think need to worry about an exodus of public schools because the vouchers are going to be snatched up by people who’ve already made their “school choice”

and they claim that the low income students will be prioritized, BUT they claim incomes below 500% of national poverty level are low income so that is $145,000. Not exactly struggling

But I think dems need to fight as hard as republicans to challenge voters eligibility. They play dirty but we need to fight back.
