Nah, no confrontation from the gop. McConnell said no confrontation.

If the States don’t grow some and start asserting the 10th Amendment, we are screwed royally.

You can say that again.

They are following the “European Model.” It is done all the time over there.

According to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsberg we should be checking European countries laws before deciding applications of our own. What they allow we should allow...what they ban we should ban.....never mind our own laws....

What could go wrong with Executive orders that supersede the legislature? In fact why do we even need a legislature???

Hitler, a “socialist” just like our current Resident” used this sort of logic to overthrow the Weimar Republic and rejuvenate Germany in the 1930’s from it’s economic woes and the from the social injustices among various social/ethnic groups. So I repeat “what could go wrong?”

Do I really need a /s at the end?

I’ve been in among those people—they want to see higher education turned into something like Nazi Germany or Scandinavia, &c.—free college, paid for, of course, by the taxpayer.

Tradition says that Tiberius as often as he left the Senate, used to exclaim in Greek, “How ready these men are to be slaves.” Clearly, even he, with his dislike of republican freedom, was disgusted at the abject abasement of his creatures. - Tacitus, The Annals.

Family function: 10th gr Nephew's talking about some school contest. And names categories. When he said "Save the Planet" as a category, I asked him "from what". He looked at me, shrugged and said, "I don't know, global warming?". I told him that ended over a decade ago. He said no it didn't. I asked how do you explain record ice growth. Have since spoken to my too-busy-working-to-know his son's drinking the koolaid brother.

Cont’d.
But of course my brother’s kid goes to a “good” pulbik skool. They don’t wanna hear anything bad about pulbik skoolz. Oh no this one’s good.

[Jacquerie]

Good on ya’. I faced a similar situation with my God daughter being taught the same thing.
