What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

Not mentioned in the headline, but in the article, is hybrids also get hit with a $100 surcharge, and it'll be tied to inflation to increase with it. Meanwhile gas guzzlers get a $20 boost in cost in 5 years(and nothing until then), and some Rs were already raging against that being included.
I live off Doordash and this comment hurts.
The Senate votes down resolution to block Trump's global tariffs amid economic turmoil
Senate Republicans have narrowly voted down a Democratic resolution that would have blocked global tariffs announced by Donald Trump earlier this month, giving the president a modest win Wednesday as lawmakers in both parties have remained skeptical of his trade agenda.

So the Senate knocked one talking point off the table. In only the strictest sense, they've grabbed partial responsibility for the Trump tariffs. After the fact. After the tariffs created the first quarter in what is almost certain to be a recession.
It is just too dumb.
Oklahoma decided that kids need to learn how to climb directly up Dear Leaders' glorious orange ass.

Oklahoma wants to teach kids Trump’s false version of the 2020 election
Statehouse Democrat argues new standards will ‘insert an extremist political agenda into our public education system that will only cost Oklahomans more taxpayer money’

That's the thing. None of the "future" GOP has that strange charisma Trump has. None of them do. And even if they did, Trump has spent the last 15 years tearing them down on the way to power.
Ironbite-he can't stand an heir apparent because that would acknowledge he's mortal.

honestly, the best thing for the country would be for Trump to drop dead right now.
No we wouldn't get to impeach him nor have to deal with these issues in a head on sort of way, but there is no way in hell JD would be able to continue the absolute destruction of America. I think a part of Trump's dementia is an inability to acknowledge or understand consequences. Well, that and years of dodging them. JD, though, I think he's smart enough to know exactly what will happen to him.

I am from Oklahoma. I don't know how it is all over the country. I expect at least where Rhinox is from it'll be similar. High School sports are kind of a big deal here. Every sport has a whole coaching staff. But not the budget for those to be full time jobs. So MOST of the high school social studies teachers in Oklahoma are coaches. I think in general they DO get a degree in teaching social studies. But...you know.
I was in honors classes, so I did get TWO real history teachers, but one was still a coach. The rank and file were coaches all the way through. It is POSSIBLE for a coach to also be a great history teacher. People are interested in more than one thing. But for the most part the coaches other interests seem to have been something else.
I almost forgot where I was going with this. I'm not too sure you have to worry about what the curriculum standards are for history in Oklahoma. Most likely the kids will be watching a video and if these guys are interested in history at all, it is going to be WW2.
Do high school history classes in other places actually talk about things as recent as an election 5 years ago?

Agreed. I'm not sure whether "Real JD" is something we've seen. I would LIKE to believe that the real one was the never-Trumper before his political career realized it need it to be more okay-Trump-now, but I don't believe it. I think he may be political on the outside and empty on the inside. If he was suddenly President free and clear I don't think there is any way to guess what policies he would pursue, but one of them would definitely be keeping his tail covered. And I don't believe he is particularly interested in any of Trump's nonstandard agenda items.
Paladin's article said:
There is absolutely no educational value in discussing unprecedented contradictons of bellweather county trends. It isn't unprecedented and bellweathers are a purely anecdotal phenomenon. You can pay just exactly as much attention to them as you want to, but their meaningfulness extents precisely up to the point that they correctly predict an election and are useless beyond that.
I didn't learn ANYTHING about recent election or probably anything past the Vietnam War in high school. What is it like other places?

Considering Trump's core is an extremely white, racist, Christian nationalist, JD would be very much for covering his ass with his indian wife and children. That core has known Trump was their guy well before David Duke gave his enthusiastic endorsement. JD has clearly shown he is not that guy. I do wonder just how the relationship between him and his wife is right now considering the vitriol towards foreigners coming from his boss.
Yes, Kansas is a lot like Oklahoma. And like Oklahoma we have high school coaches who are also teachers because they have to be. Not because they're good at it or even truly qualified, but by god can they teach a kid to throw a spiral.
Continuing trends of GOP saying stupid jive, I submit to the Midnight Society the Tale of *throws salt in the fire to make it boom* Food Choices in Congress.

And in a news clip Tom Homan was asked why he and others don't just arrest the city government leaders of sanctuary cities. Meant to be a softball question from one of the bootlicker networks. Tom laughed and said, "Wait till you see what's coming".
Make no mistake people. We are living in a nazi esque uprising. They are serious about disappearing citizens.

Fixed.
Somehow, the party whose members keep turning out to be pedophiles wanting to be in charge of an organization that keeps protecting pedophiles doesn't surprise me.
