I'll have to wear that badge. Sesame Stree wasn't allowed in my parent's house when I was growing up. I was born in '66 and it started in '69 I believe. I didn't turn it on for my kid or encourage him to watch it when he was growing up either. I didn't forbid it, but I didn't encourage it either. And just like explaining the anti-hunting theme of Bambi, if we watched something like that I wanted him to be old enough to understand some of the obvious political messages that can only be called indoctrination. If anyone is going to indoctrinate my kid it needs to be me.

The caution about the show does not stem from "Hispanic or non-white characters" or "Characters with disabilities" but to say there is no [leftist] political agenda on that show is to be disingenuous.

The Big Bird thing is definitely using a government funded child's character to promote one point of view to children. While it is a point of view that I agree with, government has no business doing this, IMO. So I reiterate, Ted isn't wrong. My vote is still "other."

Naturally, I disagree.

The government has no control over what is shown on PBS.

Since Cruz makes this assumption, Cruz is most definitely wrong.

Dude, public school is "government-funded" and promoting one point of view.

Are you anti-science? Do you believe the Moon landing is a hoax?

If Big Bird celebrated the Moon landing, how many of the fucking morons on this forum would object to "using a government funded child's character to promote one point of view to children"?

Would it be the same fucking morons who use "critical thinking" to do their own "research" on Facebook and injecting themselves with bleach, popping Ivermectin pills and investing their savings in Hydroxychloroquine?

Hello Dutch Uncle,



"I have no deals in Russia"

"We get a lot of funding from Russia"

Trump has a lot of business interests in Russia. He specializes in spending Other People's Money (OPM).

Putin plays Trump like he was a puppet.

Anyone willing to hand over millions of dollars to Trump can do the same because Trump is very transactional. Very quid pro quo.
 
I'll just leave this here.

He is to some extent. He will gladly take the marks' money. He also demands total loyalty. If you should happen to find the shreds of your conscience and say something in opposition, he'll still take your money but you will be dead to him. Just ask Cohen, Guiliani, Gates, Epstein, etc.

Trump thinks he buys loyalty but is too fucking stupid to realize that can't be done. He's buying obedience from people freely willing to sell their integrity for money.

Agreed he dislikes those who stand against him. Since Trump never admits errors, that eventually becomes everyone who works for him and does their job by voicing dissent.

Ted Cruz is a fucking coward who threw his own family under the bus to save his own job.

Remember when he blamed his own kids for the Cancun run?

Yep, it's always someone else's fault. I hope you guys vote his ass out next time he's up for re-election.

That must be Rule #1 in the Trumpian Playbook.

My understanding is that Ted Cruz won't be running next time.

That's 1) why he doesn't give a shit about Texans and 2) explains why he's sucking Trump's cock in public - he wants a job at TrumpCo.

Federal judge refuses Trump request to block Jan. 6 records
A federal judge on Tuesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to block the release of documents to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot...

...“Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President,” she said.

According to an earlier court filing from the archives, the records include call logs, drafts of remarks and speeches and handwritten notes from Trump’s then-chief of staff, Mark Meadows. There are also copies of talking points from then-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and “a draft Executive Order on the topic of election integrity,” the National Archives has said.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chairs the House committee, said in a statement after the ruling that the records are crucial for understanding the attack and “in my view, there couldn’t be a more compelling public interest than getting answers about an attack on our democracy.”

LOL I hope he ends up being Trump's cum-stain cleaner at TRUTH Social...before it implodes, of course.

TRUMP’S NEW SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY IS HIS BIGGEST SCAM YET
Like most Trump initiatives, TRUTH Social is incredibly cringeworthy and embarrassing. For one thing, before it even launched, per The Washington Post, patriotic pranksters were able to find a seemingly unreleased version and post “a picture of a defecating pig to the ‘donaldjtrump’ account,” causing it to be pulled offline. For another, the network’s terms of service dictate that users must refrain from “excessive use of capital letters,” i.e., the only way Donald Trump knows how to type. Then there’s also the fact that TRUTH Social, billed as a vehicle for “stand[ing] up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” which conservatives claim hates free speech, prohibits users from saying anything to “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.” Meanwhile, the whole thing is basically a crappier version of Twitter. Per the Post:

The site looks almost entirely like a Twitter clone: A user can post Truths, which are like tweets, or Re-Truths, which are retweets. There’s also a news feed, called the Truth Feed, a notification system so users can know “who’s interacting with your TRUTH’s,” the social network’s App Store profile states.

Anyone ever ask why working Americans MUST VACCINATE or lose their job, yet we hear nothing from these assholes about VACCINATE or lose welfare or VACCINATE or lose food stamps.
Interesting how that goes.

Watching Trump implode and take all the RW terrorists with him is going to be the best part of the tragedies ahead between now and November 2024.
