As someone who taught high school for many years, this phenomena happened slowly. My contention is that their attention spans grew shorter with each new electronic device and social media. When whole books were assigned they rarely were read to completion.

47 is a pig, but honestly, although itโ€™s more like notes being passed by teenage boys Iโ€™m waiting for an Epstein survivor to expose him as a pedophile.

These guys are above the law-they can piss in your face and get away with it. We have a president who uses profanity on camera so why would he care if his guys defile school grounds.

They apparently think weโ€™re all Braindead.

I thought I was losing it until a series of people told me they received it as well.

I understand that many of us received an email from Social Security. It contained what I believed was a series of lies. Does anyone know if this actually came from Social Security?

Great idea!

We need a puke emoji on here

He is succeeding on frightening some people into silence, but letโ€™s hope we keep talking and resisting.

He sounds so โ€ฆWOKE

Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”

Nothing I hate more than these bait ads. You post as though are actually sharing and are actually full of shit.

He clearly has no idea what democracy is all about.

Unfortunately they donโ€™t have an army to enforce so we still have to figure out how to save our democracy

What if we all changed our federal income tax withdrawals to โ€œ0โ€? Put some$ aside, but give them nothing as long as they are cutting services and worthy programs.

Just like Assad did

Did he do that? If so Iโ€™m in .

I think we have enough of our own racists here, South Africa can keep theirs.

Lawsuits. They take forever and with so many right wing judges, who knows the outcome. I think itโ€™s going to boil down to citizens hitting the streets.

Fuck you and every publication that shares headlines as click bait.

Declaring concern is not enough. Republican House and Senate members who allow this should know that their constituents will be informed of exactly what theyโ€™ve allowed.

We may need a , โ€œcampโ€, for Trump and his gang of fascists.

You do know that what the Dems say really doesnโ€™t matter; even the Repubs know heโ€™s not qualified, itโ€™s a done deal-the less qualified is clearly what T wants, just allegiance to him.

Please tell me weโ€™re not losing them to the sellouts. They get some federal money, but theyโ€™ll lose many of the public

But apparently a way to bring in foreign money that no one can trace.

Completely appropriate for their current iteration; they will be pushing some fiction for sure.

I recall a story about Johnson, his son and some mutual porn experience, so that makes sense.

As a teacher I know that phones are not simple communication, but instruments of addiction for many children. This makes it impossible for teachers to do the work they need to do. In an emergency there has always been a way to communicate through the main office.

If more businesses stood up to Maga nonsense they would lose some of their intimidating power.

Woods is known to be a right wing kind of guy. F$ck him and his fake tears.
