I can not remember one policy details discussed so far.
The only thing I remember is that Trump is belligerent.
I do think that masks and covid protection are good issues, but online, you will get a lot of pushback, because the people backing it are largely anti-vaxxers who are used to being obnoxious despite any amount of pushback.
Trump's regional talking points are piped in directly from the ALEC and DeVos networks. That makes sense and it explains why Betsy DeVos doesn't get shitcanned ever.
Can we get a wellness check on everybody who's watching the #debate in a state where weed is not legal?
Chris Wallace just pretty much kicked Trump in the junk by saying Obama was better at making jobs than him.
Here's the deal, the next debate, everyone in America gets two clickers. As soon as a majority click s the Trump clicker, he cannot talk anymore. The same for the Biden clicker.
If Chris Wallace is the moderator again, we'll need three clickers.
Some people who are watching this aren't drinking. Somehow.
I heard that if all three debates are this terrible, a portal to Outworld will open and Shao Kahn will take over Earthrealm.
Trump say bad things happen in Philadelphia.
He didn't immediately break into the Fresh Prince theme song. This means he loses the debate. But it doesn't matter, because this is the worst debate.
You can say what you want about how bad this debate is, but at least we know for certain we are in the worst possible timeline.
Rahm Emanuel looks like he's about to tear out Chris Christie's spleen.
My key takeaway for Biden is that he needs to know that he does not have to shut Trump up in order to demonstrate he can lead better than Trump. He needs to show Trump can't lead the country if he's unable to shut himself up.
A lot of really smart people didn't study poli-sci at a Catholic school in West Michigan and don't know many of the architects behind Project 2025 are the product of local Catholic pushback against liberation theology in Latin America in the 90s and 2000s
Not me. I interned with Jeff Smith in college. No activist in the country has tracked Acton Institute and the DeVos Family more thoroughly and consistently than Jeff.
Betsy DeVos saying she wants in with Trump again reaffirms the Project 2025 threat.
Every bill in this article is good actually, and Senator Nesbitt again confuses what is good for his wealthy donors and what is good for the Michigan economy and its workers.
When he has to choose between the two, he'll pick his donors every time.
"California raised a national alarm when it adopted a narrow definition of who qualifies as an independent contractor."
The national alarm this raised was at Uber headquarters because they were exploiting their drivers. California is one of the largest economies in the world.
"Bills in both chambers (SB 334, HB 4550) would set firm nurse-to-patient ratios for hospitals."
Nolan claims this would lead to bed closures because of a nursing shortage. But you fix a shortage with training and higher pay, not by literally killing people which high ratios do.
I'm at the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District Board meeting.
Guess what the Ottawa Impact whack jobs are upset about on this agenda...
#OAISD covers career and technical education through the Career Line Tech Center, Special Education through the Ottawa Area Center, and other non-traditional education paths for Ottawa County.
Multiple school districts in the area benefit from their services.
If you remember me speaking at the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners about my late friend who lived with autism, his teachers and a few of his caregivers were from #OAISD. His parents moved to Holland to access these services.
I'm at the Zeeland Public Schools Board of Education Meeting. Big budget meeting.
The room is overpacked, and my whack job alarm is going off very loud, but ZAAC is also here and they are pretty much heros. Rumor is there will be a book ban chat.
There is a second issue on the table that may be driving the majority of people to this meeting. The board is considering having 24 half days on the calendar next year, when most schools have 4-6. They were added as a way to accommodate tea her trainings tied to state funding.
The large amount of half days doesn't seem to have any real defenders. Most people seem to agree students don't learn as well on a half day.
We're drinking if anyone brings up watching a movie in class! #ZeelandSchools
1/7 2,000 days ago, a few thousand Michiganders started collecting signatures for a petition to end gerrymandering.
If they handed their petitions in today instead of December 2017, they still would have collected an average of more than 200+ per day or 8+ per hour. #MIPol
🧵:
2/7 In the very first election after maps were ungerrymandered, our entire legislature both reflected the electorate proportionally and also was controlled by Democrats for the first time in my life.
The new governing trifecta opened up new legislation.
3/7 For decades, Republicans had blocked meaningful policy change in Michigan despite mass shootings, catastrophic oil spills, the poisoning of a city's water supply, and access to health care and other critical services across the state.
Why did @wopanthers fire Ryan Lancaster as head wrestling coach? He's been regional coach of the year 2 years in a row, which means he was a contender for state coach of the year twice. He started the girls wrestling program.
The school's reasons are dumb and vague...
The athletic director insists that Ryan didn't win enough. Off the bat, you know they're full of it. I've lived here for decades. Other sports have horrible records without coaching changes. It's a clear cover-up for something politically motivated...
I heard a rumor, and take it with a grain of salt, that the secretary of Mac Bay is dating a guy who wants the job, and there were anonymous letters written to the athletic director saying Coach Lancaster didn't have the juice, despite him clearly delivering the goods...
