    The GOP is becoming a regime of corruption that spits on Democracy and the votes of the people. Trump did this. He instilled this unpatriotic tactic to get power any means possible.

    Maybe? We have had tons of staffing issues in California. Anecdotally, in my current job there was intense competition for limited positions 2011-2017. I wasn't paying much attention 2018-2020, but the last couple of years we have been unable to fill open positions. Same for the local police department. Maybe my city/county is in a unique situation for a blue state, I haven't researched the issue. I have seen national stories that mirror what I am seeing locally though.

    I don't care if you do. Like I said, I never said you were part of the right wing GOP supporting hate groups or that you knew the politicians who embrace them. Not knowing doesn't make them disappear.

    Yet you are a conservative and are quite clearly the most miserable person on this board.

    You calling me a liar punk? You better believe I used to vote Republican. Trump and the new radical right changed that. They spit on Democracy. I'm a 20 year Vet and I don't have an ounce of respect for some Traitors and Insurrectionists trying to steal an election to stay in power by lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

    I lost all respect for the party when they echoed all Trump's propaganda and lies during his term. The last thing this country or the military needs is a leader who can't be trusted. I despise liars and bullies. I'm not stupid like people who still believe all that BS. I've never been a leftist, but I've always believed in equality, truth, justice, humanity, and respect towards others.

    Maybe they shouldn't put pics on their desks. It would solve this problem.

    Not in the slightest. I have a great life. I choose to come on here to vent. There is a difference.

    Yes, I am calling you a liar on being a Republican. I'm not calling you a liar on your service. I respect that . I don't care about Trump whatsoever

    Solve the problem (that doesn't exist) by forbidding teachers to have pictures of their family?

    I'm not the person who said kids question gay teachers about pics in the room of their spouse.

    Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant. The problem that doesn't exist is the one the bill purports to fix.

    You seem to be very interested in being the gatekeeper of current and former Republicans/Conservatives, so I have a favor to ask:

    Can you let me know if I was ever a Republican?

    Not on desks, they should be put in the closet where they belong.

    Well, I'm not a liar about being a Republican before 2020, and you have absolutely no business calling me one. To be honest, I was never bothered by politics before Trump took office. I just voted Republican, but never cared too much either way. I didn't vote for Obama but didn't have any problems with him.

    It wasn't until the party started changing into a name calling, hate spewing, propaganda and lies bunch of butt kissers following the lead of Mr. Psychopath that I took a u-turn on my affiliation. Like I said, you can't have a leader in charge that can't be trusted to tell the truth, especially as the Commander in Chief of all the armed forces. Respect is a two way street, just as trust and loyalty. When those links are broken, so is confidence on getting the mission accomplished. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a great team, but all it takes is one bad apple to mess things up for everyone.
