I think its not as easy as it used to be. In the good old days you could consult the golden plates when you had an issue, but over the last few years theyβve gotten cagey about showing the plates to folks. These days you have to apply for a heavenly dispensation if you want to get out of a term paper. I hear Moroni is pretty free with the excuse notes though.

Exactly. I donβt want to punish all the kids by threatening things like revoking federal funding, but there should be some indication that not all diplomas from a school mean the same thing. Like, if they didnβt even get exposed to the topics taught in black history month, maybe there should be a super white star on their diploma, or something? IDK, I donβt want to punish the kids, but it seems unjust not to somehow note that all the other kids learned about (or at least heard about) this stuff in school.

Hopefully, the teachers at that school just roll those lessons into the regular curriculum so that they canβt be bypassed. After all, Black History is US History, US Government, and World history.

In which U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz not only fails to distance himself from batshit-even-by-Republican-standards Marjorie Taylor Greene, but describes listening to her fascist diatribes as something akin to sexual climax.

jeebus I hate that moron. I really can not stand that face, his words, his action and now this disgust thought that he probably did have his mini-matt in his hand while watching her press conference.
gross.

I know itβs a bit of a long watch but this lady breaks down the shady stuff the CEO of the company behind Bang energy drinks has done over the years. Why is it relevant to this thread? Heβs a really big Trump supporter/booster who gave $250k to a Trump pac, his eclectic behavior that makes Lindell look low energy and the legal trouble he got into for claiming his energy drink can reverse mental retardation (100% his words so donβt get mad at me mods)

My first thought seeing him was βI know who I would cast if I wanted a Nicholsonesque Jokerβ.
Heβs like a bitter old man.

A bitter, old, racist man.
Also, an angst-inducing little aside in that article:
"It is unclear where Mr Trump is watching this yearβs Super Bowl. In previous years, his father, former president Donald Trump hosted lavish parties at his West Palm Beach golf club.
His 2020 party reportedly cost taxpayers $3.4m including the security costs. Tickets to the event were sold to club members at $75 each.
The party doubled as a re-election gala for the president as the 2020 campaign kicked off."

I keep thinking of all the old zombie movie tropes. I am ready to forget Day of the Dead for a minute and just go with Felaβs version now:

Also applicable is his son Seunβs version of Felaβs Opposite Peopleβthe lyrics for which get truer every day:

To be fair, you expect an energy drink CEO to have more pep than a pillow CEO.
