I dont know a lot about CRT and have been actively resisting the urge to read up on it bc I do think republicans are making this seem like some huge real threat .. when its just a college theory that isnt being taught in public schools

I want my kid to know about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement.

I dont want my public schools, even at HS level, teaching sociologist theories. I think CRT would be very interesting to have learned in college. I do believe in systemic and institutional racism. but save the theology for college level discussion imo.

That General who answered Gaetz question .. he had a really good answer. He said Americans attacked the US Capitol on January 6, he wants to understand where that white rage is coming from .. bc its a significant percentage of Americans that feel that way .. and he thinks its important for Americans to try and understand why and where its coming from.

He sd there is nothing wrong reading a Marx or Lenin book to try and understand them .. reading the book doesnt magically make you a communist. Knowledge is knowledge.

If a percentage of americans are so pissed off that they stormed the US capitol building, which has never been done in modern era, ... he has an obligation and duty to try and find out why.

Any reason he excluded Idaho and Montana from the wildfire summit today? Guess Biden only cares about blue state voters. Weird I was told different

What he has to give shout outs? I think California is obviously the main, and most populated state in such dangers, but if there is action, funding, support needed in any state rest assured Biden will treat them all equally. You are greatly mistaken if you think he would play politics when it comes to natural disaster and lives Chico. Again deflecting from your guy who actually did such things to someone else with no actual proof other than what “lack of mention” ? If push cane to shove you know damn well Biden would take care of any state in our country- even Puerto Rico. You are so desperate to normalize Trump. Lol.

I mean, could this be anymore of a partisan move?

Trump busy getting down to access the border crisis which his administration had the lowest illegal crossing number in decades while in the first 4 months saw the largest single monthly figures ever. Criminals, terrorists, drug runners, all coming over

Trump forced Harris to actually go where she embarrassed herself again last week

Well if it conducted tax crimes then I have no problem with charging them. Lets see how this shakes out. I may be a bit jaded in this but would it surprise you if they did commit this type of crime?

Historians rank Trump near the bottom of U.S. presidents as Obama rises into the top 10


Donald Trump is ranked near the bottom of all U.S. presidents by a group of historians, getting the lowest grades for leadership of any commander in chief who has served in the White House in the past 150 years.

The ratings of presidents on 10 leadership qualities, the fourth in a series conducted by C-SPAN, includes assessments by 142 historians and professional observers of the presidency.

The findings underscore the duality of Trump's standing, unprecedented among his fellow presidents. After his upset victory in 2016 and his defeat in 2020, historians hold him in the lowest regard of any president since soon after the Civil War. But he continues to be the face of the Republican Party and its most influential figure, and he is viewed as a potential contender for the GOP's presidential nomination in 2024.
