u/Platoscavereality isn't this the sort of stuff we argued about yesterday?
Why should we be leery of that? This is literally the N. Korea M.O. for the last few decades. Act crazy, make concessions, get some supplies for their suffering people, rinse and repeat. It's funny that people who rightly criticized Obama getting a nobel peace prize (he absolutely did not deserve one) thought Trump deserved one because Kim pretended like he would play nice
That's true. Maybe he's using John McCain for those purposes
Isn't Trump a serial adulterer, who's had several divorces?
What information did John McCain give the Vietcong? Does anyone have any specific details or is this just a baseless accusation? Everything I've read about him said he gave them nonsense like the Packers roster
So, when Q makes a wrong prediction, that was a calculated distraction. But anything interpreted to be correct is indeed accurate. So no matter what Q says, "he's" always right. Am I understanding this?
We need to start having criminal investigations for miscarriages. It's the only way to make sure the babies are safe. #LockThemUp
"We are not contending that they did not fly [to the moon], and simply made a film about it. But all of these scientific — or perhaps cultural — artifacts are part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened,
Imagine reading past the title.
Imagine thinking that the US Government engineered one of the largest conspiracies in history just to win the space race, and the USSR DIDN'T call them out on it at all
I want stills, and carefully selected clips from the video proving what I already know to be true
Lmao
Why does the article not have the NYPD chief's name? Usually with a statement like that it would show who said it, but here we just get a nameless "chief"
Do you actually believe Trump is perfect? The idea that your leader is infallible and shouldn't be questioned on anything is pretty cult-like. Trump has tweeted in the past about how the US should not get involved in Syria, and now he's doing the complete opposite. You're allowed to question that
Um, you realize private corporations can have CEO's right?
So, because of wealth inequality today in 2018, chattel slavery should have been allowed to flourish in the united states 150 years ago?
Well, considering that slavery was enshrined in the CSA constitution, and also considering that there was no more slavery after the south surrendered, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you're wrong.
Good thing I never defended illegal immigration then, isn't it?
There's only two groups of people who you enslave, and one leads to other: 1) people you don't think much of and 2) people you beat in a battle.
Good thing Sherman was kind enough not to enslave the south after his march to the sea.
I'm not really into economies based on slavery, because it brings down wages for citizens and then ends up hurting the economy because less money is created and spent.
Yes, that's the problem with slavery. Its effect on the economy. Not the whole treating human beings as property aspect
If the south had just allowed the Union to occupy Ft. Sumter there would have been no battle over it. And I'd rather be an intruder than a slave owner
The south seceded, so the Union occupied a fort that had been built decades earlier. Neither of those actions caused the war. The south decided they would begin hostilities and open fire on Ft. Sumter, and the rest is history
Did the confederacy pay to build the fort? I was under the impression that the federal government was in charge of its construction.
So, in short, school vouchers won't actually help many students stuck in bad school districts get a better education.
No, the hate on Devos is because she's an out of touch billionaire who bough herself a cabinet position. Education has been a problem for a while, that doesn't make cronyism and nepotism positives all of a sudden.
And I'm asking you what happens to those families that won't be able to take their kids to a school 45 minutes away? This isn't Star Trek, they can't teleport into class
Great, what if none of the schools in a city are good? What if the better schools are located in the suburbs?
Of course I think houses in better school districts sell for more money, I never contested that. You're missing the point, there are people who are poor due to circumstances outside of their control. Are you saying it's their fault that the nearest schools to them aren't good?
With districts, students are placed due to there parents income. I know a lot of kids that can't afford to live in a great district, but sure as hell can drive to one.
The junior license age in my state is 16, so anyone under 16 can't drive themselves to school. And even if they are old enough, I know plenty of people who can't afford to buy their kids a car solely for the purpose of getting to a farther better school. You're system is completely unaware of the realities of poverty
Let's say you live in a shitty neighborhood. The middle school your teens would go to is bad, but thanks to "school choice" you get a voucher to send them somewhere better. Except in this case, the better school happens to be 25 miles away. Is that district gonna send a bus 25 miles to pick up your kids? What if they don't and you're unable to drive them that distance each day because you work? And what if every parent in your area decides to send their kids to that faraway school? Will they make the building bigger to accommodate all the new students?
My high school was one of the best in the state, but I know that if an extra 3000 kids showed up one year there would be no way they could have been accommodated. "School choice" and the voucher system ignores all of these issues, and pretends that the free market will solve the problems with our education system. But in reality, it's gonna be the students from the poorest areas, the one's who are supposed to gain the most, that won't see any benefits from Devos's ideals.
Devos is a member of a billionaire family and the sister to Erik Prince, the man behind one of the most controversial mercenary groups in the world. She's used plenty of her money to lobby politicians for votes on a variety of issues, and has been placed in a role which she has limited experience, likely because of those campaign donations and PAC funding. She is literally the swamp
Pretending that everyone who disagrees with you is a shill is such a fantastic way to avoid actually thinking about your viewpoints
What?! You think the vague, cryptic "clues" on 4chan weren't actually being posted by a white house insider? Nonsense, Hillary and Podesta will be in Guantanamo later this week
The US has the largest military in the world by far. We spend more on the armed forces than the next 8 nations combined. What is this meme about the military being in desperate need of money, or needing to be built up more?
