Yeah, it would have to be stripped down to the ribs not just to add all the comms, security, defense, and other systems, but also to assure there weren't any security vulnerabilities hiding somewhere. Hell, coming from a hostile foreign nation, I'd be suspicious of the flight management system and the "fasten seatbelts" lights!

but neither Harris nor Clinton were strong presidential candidates, and not because of their gender.

That's a bunch of bs. It was sexism, pure and simple.

Clinton was an accomplished lawyer and accomplished civil servant in her own right, having spent her entire life in service. As former first lady, she had exclusive access to the inner machinations of the presidency (I'm not saying that being the spouse of an elected leader alone qualifies one for that position (see Republicans' voting for dead candidates and swapping the deceased's spouse in after the election)), but rather adds to the cumulative total. She was also the head of the state department.

And because of a successful attack at a foreign embassy in a hostile nation, that became a millstone around her neck that trumpers bashed her for, capping off an otherwise stellar career.

Against that orange buffoon, on paper, she should have mopped the floor with his toupe'

Harris was VP, senator, Attorney General. She didn't have the cv of Clinton, but she was a woman, and she had a foreign sounding name. I worked as an election inspector (not the jackoff people who challenge voter's ability to vote, but the people who conduct the election at the local jurisdiction level). The election room as a smallish town hall, and many couples came in to vote together. The amount of people who were speaking loud enough to be overheard saying things like: "never vote for a woman" or making referring to "white pride" was shockingly scarry. They wanted to be heard.

Why, yes, I live in a racist, misogynistic hellhole - how'd you guess?

There are fewer trans atheists in college sports than there are kids with measles in Texas. Guess which one they want people to focus on.

Also, what the fuck ever happened to "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? You cannot tell me in good faith that the 'trans threat*' is so great a crisis of inequity and unfairness that the right wing really gives a damn about that.

*sarcasm, people.

Who bans employers from protecting their workers?! Seriously!

Tomatoes, rotten eggs, wilted lettuce...

Isn't his state the same one that removed worker's protections from heat, like mandatory water and cooling breaks for outdoor workers? Or was that Texas? Fuck both him and Abbot in the temple with a crowbar, either way... Fucking ghouls.

I think they're expecting an influx of dropping out to enter the ~~wage slave market~~ work force. So for them, it's hitting a triple - less expenses to education, a less educated populace, and a locked-in-for-life service industry workforce.

Your very own OP said (and I'm on mobile with a shit app so I can't copy and paste, so I'm quoting from memory, but y'all can look up there for the actual words): "I'm a public education advocate from MI and all (emphasis mine) admin make 6 figures.

That part. That's a lie. You're now moving the goalposts and I'm calling you on your bullshit.

I'm not going to do myself as I've taken pains to remain anonymous after being doxxed and harassed on that other shit platform. Suffice it to say that I don't live in one of the most affluent school districts in Michigan (ahem; Rockford and what other ISD's around GR?). I live among the poorest.

I'm not disagreeing on gym teachers not knowing the basics of other subjects, but you keep going on your gish gallop.

I am a (recently) former school board member of my district in MI and personally reviewed the compensation packages for our staff.

Quit spreading bullshit.

While I agree with the assessment of zero tolerance policies, there isn't a soul in our entire school district that is making 6 figures. Most of the faculty in our district are barely scraping by because the voters believe this collective delusion that schools have more money than god and are full of wasteful spending. That is a lie promulgated by conservatives to defund schools.

Stop feeding that lie.

Now do putin!
