Back then, I was quite inattentive to politics.
My big beef with NCLB is that it forced school administrators to refocus the curriculum to “how to pass the following standardized tests”, which has nothing to do with real-life teaching and sucked time and resources away from more useful educational procedures imo. I watched my kids essentially get denied an education because it was all about the school keeping its conditional funding. It was a one-size-shits-all straitjacket.
That triggered the memories of what the people I know were saying, thank you.
I've voted for both parties over the years. I voted for Obama. Then Trump. Hillary just seemed like one of the most dishonest people I could imagine.
lol some egg on your face on that one after 4 years of Trump huh.
She seemed like she was still pissed at Bill. Trump seemed way more honest since he wasn't a typical politician.
Yeah the propaganda was strong, I am guessing you were spammed quite a bit if how someone 'seems' sticks with after all this time.
She was pissed at him (rightly so).
Trump was a professional spoiled rich kid turned con man, sounds like almost every typical politician I can think of.
Bullshit propaganda.
Yes Trump was an asshole, but I liked a lot of his policies.
It is the policies like ripping children out of their parents arms and giving foreign dictators everything they wanted if they would do shit for him that I have a problem with.
The economy was kicking ass and we were self reliant on fossil fuels and cheap gas and super low inflation.
Are you just expecting us to believe this lie?
Do you not remember 2020? Trump shit decisions on adequately warning the American people and instead deciding to go on a victory lap after he was impeached (but not removed) and confusing the information coming out on the pandemic.
We had 'super low inflation' because we were in a Recession and had the most job losses in American history.
Other countries also respected us more
and wouldn't be pulling some of the shit they are now.
You talking about those 'headaches' that the military had when they were bombed by Iran? Or the fact that Russia was attacking Ukraine under Trump's administration and he decided to use that as leverage to get made-up political dirt on Biden.
Pretending like people are so short sighted that they believe this nonsense is why the attack on our society is so dangerous.
And as for the screwing with oil prices, don't forget it was Trump who 'negotiated' 10 million barrels a day reduction with the same dictators who are screwing with us now.
Sadly Biden has fucked shit up way worse than I could imagine in less than 2 years.
Like what?
I know the go-to right now with the Republican propaganda seems to be ignoring everything going on in the planet and pretending like somehow the impacts of those along with Biden and the Democrats not allowing the economy to continue to melt like it was doing with Trump.
I wish I felt better about him, but the shit I see happening can't be denied.
You should find better sources of information then man, for real.
My family was doing better economically under Trump.
In 2020 you were doing better than you are now? Were you a mortician? Or I guess if you have a cannabis business, being so new and rapidly expanding I could see it being a especially good year. Who knows, could be someone got radicalized and lost their job in the hospital because they believed the anti-science propaganda. Anyways, sorry man, hopefully you guys turn it around whatever the reason is.
Our 401k's have taken a shit under Biden.
That sucks, ours is up since we are maxing out our contributions. I have a while before it will be needed though.
And I just think the whole way the democrats are going is getting too far out there for me. All this anti cop, anti military, anti white, anti male, blah blah blah and the wokeness shit is fucked up and not helping anything.
Yeah that is just a bingo card of MAGA talking points man and does not reflect reality in the least.
It is shit like this that makes it hard to not just imagine you trolling to pay the bills. If you actually believe this nonsense you really should just hang up the internet man, just unplug, the TV too. Because you are under attack nonstop and seem to think it is true, and it isn't.
I don't want Trump or Biden to run again.
I am good with Biden. I did like Harris too, and would like to see her as president in about 6 years.
I am with you on Trump though, he really is a danger to our democracy at this point.
I want someone kinda in the middle if that's makes sense. Not a confused old man but also not an arrogant ass. I know it's a lot to ask for in Politics.
If you drop the propaganda laced 'confused' part, and got past the age-ism, Biden does match what you are asking for.
