Can a human outrun a bullet? I was serious and someone sent me a reply.- "The show MythBusters performed an experiment to determine the distance a person would need to be from a speeding bullet in order to dodge it and the answer was about three football fields." I had no idea, none!

In a sane country he would be getting humiliated non-stop by the media and opposition party for shaming the office and clowning himself by jumping through hoops on the White House lawn for the South African drug addict that he sold himself to

grenoble67.bsky.social•10 hours ago

In a sane country he would be opposed by his own party

lapisbluenote.bsky.social•9 hours ago

In a sane country he would have never been elected!!

grenoble67.bsky.social•9 hours ago

True

grenoble67.bsky.social•8 hours ago

However, I must add that the people who voted for him were sane. Many if them were people for whom the existing system does not work. And he tapped into that in a way the Democrats did not. He promised things he will not deliver, but they believed him. They are now gonna be screwed.

To be fair, though, the people who voted for him were all complete noodle brained dipshits

It’s disgusting, I just can’t figure out why no one’s pointing out that these are things only a mentally ill person would do.

I currently teach at a very small, rural school with 3/4 of our students qualifying for free & reduced lunch. It will hit our school hard. I have been teaching 13 years & just recently got offered a job outside of education. I am sad for my students, but glad I am leaving teaching.

Especially galling is that I grew up in a Robber Baron town (one of William Clark's) & he at least provided a library, town hall, housing, good schools. I would not have wound up living across the park from his daughter's apartment if not for that. New Age robbers are truly evil.

It's kind of amazing, because they spent the better part of 3 years demonizing electric cars with their followers when Biden was promoting them. And now, seeing the two of them pushing Tesla is far more likely to result in a decline in sales, at least among the folks who can afford the payments.

Sickening and despicable.

We need to get three ghosts to visit him. I expect him to start saying things about reducing the surplus population.

squimbolio.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That sounds more like an Elon thing. But it is definitely coming, especially once our agriculture infrastructure crashes.

studio528.bsky.social•8 hours ago

OK, now these mother fuckers just poked some quiet giants. Parents, Teachers, and Education Unions. Seems a disgusting racial component to this as well, so groups apposed to racism might want to chime in.

Side note: this shit crushes education in rural red America – just say’n – meh.

debe1477.bsky.social•11 hours ago

18% of 10-15 year olds were working at the turn of the century according to the 1900 census.

Just a question... will eliminating education provide a cheap workforce for our corporate overlords?

Gut education for vulnerable kids, roll out the red carpet for billionaires. Trump’s America in a nutshell.

drmrs.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I have been telling people for 11 years that Trump wanted to return to the Robber Baron Era. The era of recession after recession, death and injury to workers, child labor, massive wealth that fits his self-vision in his NYC apartment, and wrapping himself in Mar-a-Lago, wearing the Baron's pelt.

migas7.bsky.social•3 hours ago

And the lemmings follow Trump. We have to keep resisting. Musk may not show it but the abysmal losses at Tesla hurt. His politics are being questioned by the Tesla board. Starlink contracts are now being questioned or cancelled. His rockets are blowing up.

debbiehupp.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Absolutely

squimbolio.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Keep on bonking Tesla! Fight back any way you can! We are a peasant legion, that is nothing to be sneezed at.

jenz9.bsky.social•11 hours ago

There should be an ad cut TODAY. Run it in red states because those kids will be the ones that suffer the most. It’s infuriating

lapisbluenote.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Absolutely!

lapisbluenote.bsky.social•9 hours ago

And juxtapose it beside their grotesque "Tesla Ad" at the White House today. Pigs.

jenz9.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Exactly

carp8dm.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I’m on season 3 of The Handmaids Tale and I’m tripping at similarities! You wonder how far they want to take it.

lapisbluenote.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Sickening. All a big game to them. Destroying peoples' lives all over the country and the world, and they are playing Car Salesmen on the White House Lawn. Pigs.

ED grew from a budget of $4B in 1980 to $238B in 2024. That's over 10x the rate of inflation in that period. I agree in principle with what you are saying, but please explain why we need to spend so much federal $ on local schools.

Tacky trump. I keep seeing ads on TV for his coins or something. So low.

fz10.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I've not seen ads for coins, but I am reliably informed that a 21 year old reality TV show can now be streamed on Amazon TV. It's called The Apprentice. You'd think that Bezos had better taste.

Where does the US rank in education and what has the department helped get that ranking so incredibly high?
