She got banned from the WH for that

Yet Trump fired Waltz for his security leak and you are posting "X" feeds laughing about it too. Isn't that kinda the same thing?
You are ok with the White House firing the lady yet laughing because Trump fired Waltz.
Hummmm...

Hummmm...

Is this supposed to make sense?

 

[Bobfripp]

I wonder what Herr Biden tried to introduce to the children?

Was that Biden's intention? I suspect that was her decision, not Biden's. But nice try on the whataboutism. And your retort is not even in the ballpark of addressing my comment.

Um, what?

 

[Mulberry Heel]

So pretty much every advance in teaching history since the 1960s is going to be thrown out. Any school systems that still have their 1950s-era US History textbooks might want to dust them off. I can't wait for our new retro public schools Social Studies curriculum that says that the Civil War wasn't really caused by slavery, that blacks were happy as slaves, and Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis are once again elevated to the status of American heroes despite fighting for slavery and secession. Good Times!

 

[Mulberry Heel]

It's supposed to be a diversion from his earlier defense of Stephen Miller's promise to restore American education to the 1950s. Just change the subject to something else that's easier to defend.

Vance just argued he wasn't fired- he was promoted.

Are you trying to be a joke?

“…I thought that was rather clever, if you look at what's going on. They get their $5 billion a year, that is not going to be so forthcoming. Wasn't that a clever one?”

 

[nycfan]

This material works better at his rallies than a commencement, apparently.

 

[UNCatTech]

Thats one way to spin it! Trumps dont matter either!

You are correct his approval ratings don't matter. But how he's fucking the country does.

 

[UNCatTech]

Shouldn't have to be taught.

Things truly deserving of love naturally earn it.

The dystopian America he invasions doesn't deserve love.

“… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson told a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico.

“The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.”

Though she did not mention Trump by name, Jackson said she was addressing “the elephant in the room,” a clear reference to the belligerent language — and calls for impeachment — that Trump and some of his advisers have lobbed at federal judges who rule against his agenda.

Jackson urged her judicial colleagues to show “raw courage” to dispense justice without fear of the results. “I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service,” the Biden appointee said.

Jackson’s unusually pointed comments received a standing ovation from the judges and lawyers in attendance.…”

Says the woman who said she is not a biologist and therefore couldn't describe what a woman was.

 

[nycfan]

Not to quibble, because VE Day is obviously important, but WWII ended for the USA when the Japanese surrendered in August 1945 …

Anyway, May 8 is Victory Day already, Victory in Europe (VE Day), but fine Victory Day it is. November 11 was Armistice Day, then Veteran’s Day and now Victory Day WWI I guess?

Ok Yosef. Go for it. What’s your definition of a woman? Try to come up with a definition that does not exclude any women.

"We won both wars, because nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance" - great way to dismiss the contributions (and in some cases far greater sacrifices) of our allies, dude. In terms of industrial and military production in the war he's right, but I don't think most of our allies will appreciate hearing that they weren't as brave or smart as we were. No wonder he and his minions like Stephen Miller want to change how we teach history - their understanding of it is as superficial as a comic book. Trump probably thinks that Captain America really existed and did punch Hitler in the face.
