Robo Ron once again proving the very online sociopath vote is all his This guy sucks bad at all of the things you have to be good at. I've said it before but huge lol at the rush to crown this guy as an "heir apparent ' (or, lol, a " capable administrator") - it says as much about the crowners as it does him. For those keeping score he's hardly the first person that our elites have shoved in front of us as " a natural ' only to be absolutely terrible at this. Marco Rubio Tim Pawlenty Rick Perry Etc Once these losers left the confines of their local political environs they were absolute jokes. Our elite political journos are really bad at understanding the Republican base, continuously underestimating their desire for malignancy and incompetence with a side of showmanship. That's what decades of fake ass bothsiderism and false equivalency gets you.
It's a bad look but to be honest every politician makes a gaffe, not excusing anyone but when you have a camera in your face 24/7 your bound to mis speak or say a word wrong or use a dumb phrase. I know we all make fun of it from time to time but in reality, every politician does it. I just wish sometimes they would come out and at least address it and just say "my bad"
Some of the rule changes desantis is requiring… having a live audience to cheer the candidates, having cheat sheets to help the candidates, and replacing the opening statements with videos. desantis obviously knows he would be destroyed by Newsom in any debate without help.
Wow! That is this real? If they really use that as curriculum then they are definitely white washing history to an extreme right wing version.
Yeah - I don't understand it at all. If anything, he has actually strengthened his hold on the Republican nomination since Biden has been elected. Those that claimed they held their nose and voted for him in 2016, will do the same in 2024, as the political divide has only gotten worse. I don't see a lot of Republicans sitting their Presidential voting cycle out - especially when they look at the configuration of the SCOTUS that Trump will take credit for - and the wedge issues that are out there concerning social issues. I think we will see huge support and turnout for Trump. We will also see a large turnout overall, as Trump is like a moth to light, everyone has an opinion on him.
Does anyone have the actual video? I would like to see it for myself - I highly doubt Dennis Prager would agree to have a video say that slavery wasn't a big deal. Perhaps I am wrong - but on hotly contested issues like this, I see people trying to exploit the gray areas on both sides.
LBJ was prejudiced, he did not always say nice things about....... well just about everyone, except his wife. However, he also championed and passed one of the most progressive pieces of legislation in US history. I would also point out that his use of offensive terms to describe people extended to every group of people possible. He even referred to white people as crackers and said they lacked common sense. It is also relevant that LBJ was born around 1900 in a very small town in Texas, a town that was named after a Confederate war hero - that he grew up around Confederate veterans------ and he was born in Texas, when it was at it's absolute worst from an economic and class stand point. People were literally starving to death in Texas at that time, the government was far removed, classism and racism WAS the social order and very little information from outside the bubble that they lived in came out. It doesn't justify racism or what Johnson did and did not say - but it explains why he was so fast and loose with his language, he was a fighter and a guy that saw everything as a perpetual nail versus hammer. I would also point out that what Johnson said isn't any worse than what Nixon said, or Reagan after him - This was peak white patriarchy.
This is really ....... off topic? I don't think that this video is appropriate for public school children. The first few minutes are about Christopher Columbus from an historical perspective - but then if goes off the rails talking about how right and wrong are relative, that the Native Americans were as bad as every other group of people, how stupid people believe what they have grown up hearing and that slavery is better than death. There are grains of truth to all of this - people are people, and there were Native Americans and entire tribes that did some awful things, and yes most people would likely rather be slaves than murdered - but these are concepts best taught at a higher age and level of school - and really the video had very little to do with the history of Christopher Columbus and was very clearly made with a political agenda.
