Best retort, "Then why is America pushing to reinstate child labor?"

Nah, Trumps amateur run campaign makes it look amateur.

Was that an autocorrection or are we calling him Elmo now? Because I'm down to start calling him that either way.

America is not a meritocracy. It is big racist misogynist shithole with misogynist racists usually in charge of selection processes. "But we have legal protections against that!" you cry. Yeah, as long as you can prove it. If they don't say something or leave a paper trail, you can't prove shit. The system is still absolutely rigged against minorities and women and set up in a way that protections against any form of bigotry are so fucking vague as to be virtually unenforceable in all cases except the most extreme. Affirmative action is one of the ways to combat that. It, too, is not a perfect answer, but it is better than letting the bigots win. Indeed, the end game of Affirmative Action is to get enough women and minorities lifted up that the US can actually become a real meritocracy.

Except they don't "melt" when properly sealed, as the article mentions. I mean, 107 is like a cool day in Phoenix or Tuscon during the summer.

Most of what he, Abbott, and Patrick do is just political theater and has no real benefit for the people of Texas.

Nah, they do win fair and square when it's rural. Their problem is that the population of rural America is dwindling fast. Most rural kids don't want to stay in the sticks. For starters there's just really no decent jobs there.

Could see this on a ringworld. Come to think of it a ringworld would be the perfect place to base a fantasy novel on.

I said back in 2016 that he showed classic signs of the onset of dementia.

After no one called Reagan out on how mentally not there he was, why is the press giving Trump a pass? Oh, right, he's good for ratings and views, so fuck asking the important questions about his mental state. Fucking weird.

Yep. The fuckwitted GOP and their MSM lackeys boned it by constantly attacking Biden's age. He did the thing that they'd find unthinkable when he bowed out. Now they've unleashed the blue wave they've been fearing all along.

That is not what is being discussed and was never being discussed. You're sounding like you're being pedantic to try to pick a fight
