Yup, Libertarian. I view corruption of the government as worse than an individual’s moral failings. When an elected official campaigns on the promise of using the position of power to prosecute a political opponent for a crime that she’ll find later, I have a problem with that. When a state changes the law to facilitate ex post facto prosecution of one guy, I have a problem with that.

I don’t think paying to have sex with a porn star while your European mail-order wife is pregnant with your kid is a good thing, but I view that as less bad than the FBI knowingly taking in a made-up dossier to use to harass and prosecute the political opposition.

If Trump started using the power of his office to prosecute his political opponents for the crime of being his political opponents, as many on your side claim he will, then I will stand alongside you to condemn him for it. However, if the Chief Executive orders a broad investigation into corruption of his branch of the government, and that investigation finds corruption, then I’m all for rooting it out.

Why did the DOT treat Tesla different than other American car manufacturers? That they did is not in question. They did. Why? I think most on the right, left, and center believes it was because Tesla was anti-union. The democrats in power receive a large amount of campaign donations from unions, and to curry favor, they were unfairly discriminating against a company who was anti-union. That has the smell of quid pro quo corruption.

Joe Biden is displaying an amazing amount of grace, dignity and humility. Weird. Prob bc he’s happy Kamala lost. Don’t know how else to frame it. He even sounds like he’s not dead.

On a more disappointing note the continued name calling of those you disagree with from some is both not unexpected and disappointing.

When someone calls a Hitler supporter a piece of **** is that name calling or is it just an accurate assessment?

I read a little more about California’s AB1955. That actually makes sense. It doesn’t ban educators from communicating home but it makes it so they aren’t required. Which actually makes a lot of sense from a litigation standpoint. A parent wants some easy money so they accuse the district of withholding information because at some point their student told someone at the school (teacher, principal, custodian, bus driver, etc) about something related to gender dysphoria and it wasn’t immediately reported home. This law allows educators to still contact home but eliminates the requirement to contact home. I’m not sure how I feel about that as I tend to error on safety when it comes to school/home relations. But I definitely get from the viewpoint of ending drama and ending frivolous lawsuits, removing this requirement.

I don’t think the public knows how often parents accuse district employees (and volunteers) of stupid things to get free money. Here in Utah a kid skipped class the last week of school to have sex with his girlfriend. His parents then sued the district for it because him having sex violated his religious rights and that the district should’ve done more to enforce attendance. Anyone here remember the last week of high school? How do you keep attendance on a yearbook day?

California AB 1955: What Is the SAFETY Act? - Plural Policy

California AB 1955, or the SAFETY Act, became law on July 15th. What does it mean for parents, students, and teachers? Learn more today.

The core argument of the complaint, she wrote, was that since the district gave students free time during the final week of school, it did not do enough “to aid their efforts as parents to prevent [their son] JD from having sex.”

But the parents, identified only as John and Jane Doe, “have not provided any authority supporting the proposition that the government has a constitutional duty to help them parent JD,” Parrish decided.

The parents had hoped to block the district from relaxing attendance rules for the end of the school year, according to their lawsuit.

A Utah teen had sex at school. Here’s why his Latter-day Saint parents sued the district — and lost.

After Utah County parents discovered their son was having sex with his girlfriend during school hours, they sued the Alpine School District.

School should have done more to enforce attendance lol.
School can't do **** about attendance. I sluffed so so so much. It was easy as ****. My parents were pissed at me all the time and so were the teachers but nothing they could really do about it.

Now I just need to learn how to spell his last name without looking it up.

No one is better at the smart, sincere, knowledgeable, good communicator part than him.

Of all the silver linings Kamala not being the default democratic choice next time is the best one.

Agreed about his last name. That's why he is mayor Pete lol

And then live the next few decades with reactionaries who couldn’t handle progress lash out? Sounds like fun.

To be clear, I like Mayor Pete and hope he runs. And if he wins, I’m going to be prepared to see the next 20+ years of my life hearing some of the grossest most homophobic things I’ll ever hear. Which is basically what’s happened since that black man dared to win the presidency in 2008. Suddenly a ****** reality tv star made a name for himself on Fox News by spreading rumors about his birth certificate. Annnnddd the rest is history.
