Our son finished HS by 9th grade, then took online college courses until "graduation".
That led to honors biomedical science, med school, surgical residency, & a fellowship.
The school had told us the bright ones need to be sacrifice for the good of the whole.
Um....No?
@piper4missouri
Funny, I live in 2 Red states and miss zero "basic state services".
Because I neither need nor want what you consider "basic". You want your basics? Get a freaking job and buy them.
@Jules31415
I'm starting to get the disconnect by MAGA. It's the difficulty in conceptualizing large numbers like 161,000,000 registered voters vs crowds of, say, 10,000 people. If they see a stadium of 60,000, they think that's a majority of the US.
@peltzmadeline
I remember my farmer uncle responding to a New Yorker who asked "does that cow produce much milk?".
"No, but if you pull on that thing long enough, you'll get something".
@imdylanharrison
Look. You can't say being gay isn't about sex, is a genetically determined preference, no different than heterosexuality, & we just want to live a normal, dignified life...
and then parade around public streets in S&M gear.
That's beyond self-defeating.
@AnnYonan1
Yes, they paid. Elon himself paid the largest personal tax bill in US history.
But you know that. You're just manipulating your low information rubes.
@JonathanTurley
Which they assume is justified, having been told that anything that offends their tender feelings is, by definition, violence against them.

Conversation before "cool wine aunt" arrives:
How long this time? We need be blunt on what subjects she can discuss with the kids again. Hide the good wine, you know she doesn't stop. I'm not entertaining her this time; she's YOUR sister.
@PamKeithFL
Catholic guy, Catholic university, Catholic regents, Catholic dogma.
Don't like it? Don't be a Catholic.
See? All your angst, gone like a cool breeze.
Anyone who can even conceive of writing "MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS" is dangerously deranged. I asked a MAGA friend about that. His response? "Oh, he just says those things". Yes. Deranged people do. But we don't put them in charge of the nuclear arsenal.
@BOGO4Corduroy
Older generations weren't raised in a world where pedophilia was around every corner and men were wearing dresses in Target bathrooms. Those comments don't have the same import.
It was meant as a compliment, saying that she's pretty.
Stop with the hypersensitivity already.
@tall_n_rich
Strange how all those people historically in work camps never have "insulin resistance", because they get very, very thin.
Maybe the prison uniforms magically inject insulin; that must be it.
@cllaucll2y
Sorry for your loss & understand bitterness... but there are many excellent FL hospitals that aren't teaching facilities. Discouraging people from getting accessible medical care is not a public service.
@JoeyMannarinoUS
To stop the last inflationary spiral (Carter) here, Reagan pushed interest rates to 18%. It was painful. It worked.
We can't do that now, because of the debt size.
Same for Argentina. So the currency has to devalue. It's painful. It works.
There is no reset without pain.
@leslibless
True: that's defamation. I hope Trump wins.
BUT. How sad is it that our candidate's virtue rests on arguing he committed "sexual assault" not "rape".
Wow, can't wait to go vote.
@IMAO_
Hey, at least we know post-Apocalyptic Earth will still value using the correct gender pronoun in between the rampant violence, theft, mutilation, murder, and general mayhem of surviving in a nuclear wasteland.
Priorities, you know?
@ByronYork
Oddly enough, this is not unusual. The idea is that laymen trying to interpret the nuance of legal language leads to more error than clarity, so it's preferable for them to have to ask the judge to interpret, no matter how cumbersome.
Not everything is made up to get Trump. Some
@paleonormie
I pulled my kid out of public school when a teacher told me "sometimes the bright ones have to be sacrificed for the good of the whole".
Now the 'kid' specializes in complex colon cancer surgeries & saves lives every day.
Home school: it's what's for the future of civilization.

@DavidLimbaugh
My family have been farmers for 200 years.
We don't shoot young dogs for hunting chickens. We teach them chickens are not prey.
It's called training.
Look up the term.
And please don't get a dog.
@GuntherEagleman
She didn't have to lie. She didn't have to say anything. This is a DEFAMATION action and Trump put all the defamatory remarks in writing on public social media.
This is not about the sexual assault.
If you can't grasp that, you truly need remedial education.
@MJTruthUltra
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out the trail leads right back to our own administration's alphabet agencies.
Let's hope X can trace some of it.
@Slatzism
Male seahorses don't get pregnant. They accept the fertilized embryos from the female and protect them in a pouch until the hatch. This doesn't make them pregnant any more than a human dad holding a baby is pregnant. Bio 101. Need to bring it back.
@DustinMcelreath
The contrast between Trump's infantile tantrum against Gov. Reynolds and DeSantis' dignified and respectful reaction to Gov. Sununu is all you need to decide between the two. It's like comparing a carnival barker to a founding father.
@TomCottonAR
So you saddle us with the guy who already failed to do anything about it for 4 years?
Gee, thanks. Great conservative principle there, Tom.
@mattgaetz
Gee, Matt. Who made that happen? Oh, yeah, the guy you torpedoed for president when you supported the other guy... you know, the one who increased the debt by 7.8 trillion and threw the Constitution in his gold toilet for Covid. You're a political genius, you are.
@ProudPatriot247
A lifetime of being told they were oppressed by some invisible systemic racism and deserve to act any way they want without consequence. And they appear to be correct; nothing ever happens to them.
@DarrellIssa
Well, so much for yet another man I used to respect. Did you watch him last night? You agree he's "a federalist"? That DeSantis followed Fauci to lock down against Trump's advice?
Do lies even mean anything any longer? Do you?
Forgive the screed, but it's just SO Kafkaesque.
Looks like Trump is openly floating Haley for VP. Surprise!
Lol, just kidding.
Anyone who didn't see this coming has been living under a rock, since she's spent 20 million dollars attacking, not the front runner, but his strongest
@StevenBeschloss
SCOTUS justices are allowed to have political opinions, as long as they rule neutrally.
Anybody who doesn't think Sotomayor & Jackson & Kagan have political opinions is a rube. They are FAR more willing to vote as a super-legislature than the conservative originalists are.
@PaulIngrassia
Hate to interrupt the umbrage hysterics, but he's correct. Nothing lawyers argue in closing is evidence, just argument about the evidence. And only the judge instructs jurors as to the law, not the lawyers. They just argue how it all applies, which is fine. All standard stuff.
@Judianna
Ha!
Go on Amazon and check the reviews for Haribo sugar free gummy bears, 5 pound bag. Make sure it's the listing with over 20,000 reviews.
Check the reviews. It's a trip.
@TomCottonAR
So you trash the only conservative candidate, then tell us we're going to destroy the country unless we vote for the lesser of evils... again.
Enough.
You can only sell your soul so many times.
@mattgaetz
Let's try to be clear for you, Congressman. We will never -- never -- forgive the vile insults & lies that weep down from the rotting head of the Trump campaign to his corrupt surrogates and the rapid lynch mob supporters who replace fact & debate with calumny. Casey DeSantis did

#WheresMelania
trends, & suddenly Habba is stuck in a closet, while Melania shows up for 5 minutes to stand as far away from her loving husband as she can get without leaving the photo op entirely. Then she leaves, and out pops the bimbo du jour again. Color me unimpressed.

@GrantCardone
Bull. At what point in your career did your bank dig into each individual asset of a borrower? A certified financial statement is a sworn affidavit. If you lie on that, it's fraud. Period. End of story.
@emeriticus
Ronna was shoehorned into the position by Trump so that she would help him avoid any of the ordinary debates and participation for a Republican candidate. Now that he's "presumptive", he throwing her to the curb, like he does everyone he's done using.
@JoshPower80
I've had SO many Floridian MAGA people tell me that they're grateful every day for living in DeSantis' state but still wouldn't to support him for president because it's "not his turn".
Like we're on a playground waiting for the monkey bars. SMH.
@E_SanFranExile
That's one interpretation.
The other is that he signed a pledge to support the nominee and honors his oaths, as should Haley.
That's not support, beyond the minimum endorsement obligation to which both agreed.
You won't see DeSantis on a Trump stage.
@nexusothecrisis
I had a blog out of Florida for several years, until FB basically sidelined me from any exposure. I maxed out at a few thousand supporters and constantly fought the censorship battle. I know how difficult it was to get conservative thought out there (thank you, ELON!). So yes:
@theblaze
Then why, Senator, didn't you endorse the one candidate in the primary who actually did everything you ask, including rejecting the totalitarian nonsense of Fauci and accepting the slings & arrows that followed?
Where was your principle then?
@JasonMillerinDC
The problem with MAGA is an inability to distinguish between large numbers. They see a full stadium of 60,000 & think that means they win in a country of 161,000,000 voters.
They see 100 people at a bodega & think that means he takes New York.
@EzraEpizon
@JoeyMannarinoUS
Trump never vetoed a single Pelosi spendathon budget. Not. A. Single One.
His presidency increased the debt 7.8 Trillion.
On what possible planet are you thinking Trump will do ANYTHING to "save the west" from a massive economic default? Total divorce from reality.
@TomCottonAR
Because Trump built this wall... oh, right.
Well, he did deport... oh, right.
Precisely how is electing Trump going to do squat for the immigration disaster?
@bonchieredstate
In response, the Republicans will go with their current strategy of making hay out of a decades-old affair the husband of a candidate had in an earlier marriage while insulting the popular governors of must-win states.
The brilliance is blinding.

If you really can't read the 17,000,000 reports that the picture of the golfing was from 2022, I sure hope you can read your patient's charts a little better.
