I give him credit for selling oil from the strategic reserves to China. 20 million barrels worth. During an emergency crisis.

Funny how when gas prices go up it’s all Biden’s fault, but when they go down he gets none of the credit for it.

Yellen is now redefining a recession to be something other than 2 consecutive quarters of GDP decline.

Full Gaslight.

please give specific examples of overfunded schools performing below average

obviously not all the money is EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

Proper funding is one component of education that leads to better academic performance, but it is not the defining metric. You cannot simply assume that more money per student means better performance.

Consider a district that is in decline. In such a district, people move away to go to better school districts. This causes the number of students remaining in the district to decrease. This artificially and temporarily inflates the cost per student since there are fewer students. That happens until teachers get laid off and staffing expenses are lowered to compensate for the lost tax revenue. The point is that one set of metrics alone cannot tell the whole story.

Data shows that top-performing states spend more per student than low-performing states

i'm simply pointing out that the top ranked schools IN THE WORLD are in the united states

please give specific examples of overfunded schools performing below average

Equal Educational Opportunities Act - Declares it to be the policy of the United States that all children enrolled in public schools are entitled to equal educational opportunity without regard to race, color, sex, or national origin; and that the neighborhood is the appropriate basis for determining public school assignments. States that the purpose of this Act is to authorize concentration of resources under the Emergency School Aid Act on educationally deprived students and to specify appropriate remedies for the orderly removal of the vestiges of the dual school system.

Title I: Assistance - Provides financial assistance for educationally deprived students enrolled in schools with a high proportion of students from low-income families, or transferring from such schools to schools enrolling a lower proportion of students from low-income families.

Authorizes grants from State educational agencies to local educational agencies adopting and implementing plans for such students. Sets requirements for State educational agency plans and applications under this section. Authorizes appropriations for payments to States under this section of $500,000,000 for each fiscal year. Provides for judicial review for a State following final action on its plan.

the point here is that the united states has the best schools in the world

apparently, title 9 means nothing

Did you see Schiff crying on MSNBC because the DOJ would not arrest Trump?

He practically called Merrick Garland a traitor to America lol!

I don’t need one because I’m not alleging or insinuating anything here. You are, that’s why I’m asking you.

As far as I can see he’s just some dude doing stupid things. Not everyone who commits a crime gets arrested even when at times it seems obvious (like Trump cheating on his taxes). Sometimes the law is complicated. Failure to gather the evidence required is not evidence of innocence.

You mean after January 6th? Because there would be nothing unusual about that. People get off or at least get lighter sentences for to their cooperation all the time.

Trump was (and is) corrupt and had lust for power, your argument to zedvictor is amusing at best.

No, they’re actually silly questions intended to show just how ridiculous this all is. The question of who he was working for and what was his purpose is only asked to get you to start thinking, once that happens the absurdity of this becomes obvious.

Think

You said lust for power, not wealth.

Corruption and lust for power.

Reminds me of an Orange Guy.

I'm  thinking that neither of you remotely understands Pakistan.

You're just pandering to  your fears of Islam......Which are based upon U.S. media propaganda.

So explain then.

Otherwise your reply is just an unqualified and meaningless statement.

Corruption and lust for power are part of every regime amongst the leadership, India has no shortage of that either.

The failure of Pakistan is primarily its own ignorant, backwards Sharia leadership's doing.

AOC says food comes from the grocery.

The American people voted for these guys.

On a positive note, I heard Biden enjoys the attention of getting blamed so he has a reason to be angry.

I am not skilled enough nor evil enough to track you down through the dark web, but it could be proven. Right now, I only know that I am talking directly to an account and indirectly to a person owning this account, while not knowing who this person is. I don't even need to know. What am I even talking about?

You are lying until your claims and your actual evidence aligns. Either you change your gender to female on your account or you take back those words.

The separation of account and user is needed. The account is a projection of the user. Let’s not talk about how a coat of code can be “female”, a male person can also use a “female” account (V-tubers for example). No one can prove that, not even if they dox.

Your profile says you are male, so this is blatant contradiction.

I’m not sure what you mean by your critique of chromosomes. Whether five year olds know what chromosomes are is irrelevant, it is what those chromosomes do. That seems to be the most useful way to determine sex in my opinion- whether or not a Y chromosome is present.

Why does this matter at all lol... Trump could have said nothing at all after the police and FBI let in all those larpers and still remain 6 years innocent while the "walls were closing in"

And because I know the stupid response I'm going to get; "but he told them to make their voices heard peacefully...", I'll just point out that you can't have it both ways. Trump either thought they would listen to him or he didn't. If he didn't, then your excuse falls apart on it's face. If he did, which is the only way this one sentence exculpates him, then you cannot possibly put forward any excuse for why Trump waited 3 hours after the Capitol was breached to finally tell these people to go home.

Exactly. This is the whole point of the thread. 

The reason there is no cross examination is because McCarthy decided to pull all of his members out.

You can sit here all day long justifying it by quoting rules, precedent, etc., that's still what happened. So when he did that, no investigation into Trump was possible in your mind. No matter what the committee found it would be considered illigitimate to you and the millions of there just like you. Hence the strategy, and it clearly worked.

The findings of the committee either could have had an impact on you, or there was never a chance they would have. If it's the latter then you're BSing - legitimacy has nothing to do with it, you dismiss the findings because you're a pure partisan. If it's the former then you have been successfully manipulated by Kevin McCarthy. One or the other.

It's nice to know only a small minority of Americans care about the partisan theatre and have finally told politicians to kindly fuck off when they patronizingly tell voters what they are SUPPOSSED to care about.

False.  You said McCarthy had the right to appoint whomever he likes.

POST#2: "Kevin McCarthy, as the leader of the Republican Caucus in the HoR, has the right to place any member of his caucus on the committee, whether that individual is a “partisan” or “moderate.”

McCarthy had no rights because fear of Trump prevented him from negotiating any investigation, however reasonable.

"In the aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack, the proposal to form a bicameral commission failed due to a filibuster from Republicans in the Senate. In late May, when it had become apparent that the filibuster would not be overcome, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated that she would appoint a select committee to investigate the events as a fallback option."

You concede that the Benghazi Committee was not impartial.

Red herring yourself.  I said Pelosi offered to negotiate.  Like Benghazi, McCarthy was never going to get to appoint anyone and certainly no Congressman who actively participated in the crimes under investigation.

So now you've contradicted yourself regarding McCarthy's "right to appoint"  You now agree that McCarthy had no rights Pelosi was bound to respect in terms of appointment to the Jan 6 committee and that Pelosi had every right to exclude targets of the investigation from the investigation itself .  Pelosi negotiated her picks in exchange for participation in the Benghazi show trials.

We agree that McCarthy held exclusive appointment power then as Pelosi holds exclusive appointment power now- which destroys any of those claims of official illegitimacy Tucker told you to believe.

It is not only insanely illegal, it is sedition punishable by twenty years in prison.  Jordan and Banks knew for a fact that Biden was the properly elected President and actively conspired with Trump's men to subvert the Constitution of the US and incite a rebellion to deny the Constitutionally mandated transfer of power.  The ONLY way to prevent future coup attempts is to put these conspirators in jail for a very long time.

So you have no problem with the targets of criminal investigations investigating themselves... classic corruption. 

Like Paxton's corrupt use of his AG's office to illegally delay his trials for seven years after indictment.

Trump had better policies than Biden but his platform doesn’t seem all that different from a more mainstream GOP politician, especially now that he destroyed the old “Bush” establishment. I would rather have someone like Ron DeSantis or Glenn Youngkin without Trumps baggage being the nominee and I think a lot of people are starting to feel that same way.

I mean why want a standard bearer who is so easy to attack, can only serve one term, has alienated millions of people who would be open to voting Republican or not voting at all if there was a different nominee…

Trump really wasn’t a very effective president and his finishing move being to incite his most fervent (and gullible) supporters into a riot that resulted in a lot of them having their lives destroyed/severely damaged because he couldn’t take an L…I want someone else.  

Him becoming President again would be extremely funny so I’ll grant that 

I also agree that if the election were held today Trump would probably win, but we don’t know what the future holds. The economy and inflation could get worse from here in which case the dems would be in deep trouble but it could also get better in which case Biden, or a more competent dem nominee, would have a strong chance of winning especially against Trump.

Picking the guy who could probably scrape a win at his opponents lowest point isn’t a recipe for success and would at the very least leave lots of house and senate seats on the table.

And really his inability to just take his lumps wasn’t acceptable. Idk what else to tell you. I was a massive Trump shill for years but you have to face the fact that he’s a complete manchild after a while

That's false.  "Rights" don't come into it but McCarthy had zero power to appoint who he likes to the Select Committee because Republicans refused to participate in the creation of the committee. 

Pelosi had the power to appoint who she wanted to the Benghazi committee because she negotiated that power before the committee was ever assembled.  Democrats wanted an impartial 50/50 Commission like 9/11 and Warren Commission but McCarthy stupidly filibustered hoping that Americans would just forget about the first coup attempt on America. 

Pelosi offered to negotiate appointment power in exchange for bipartisan support for a Select Committee but McCarthy, fearing Trump's wrath, stupidly refused. 

This is false.  Democrats weren't "allowed" anything.   Pelosi negotiated her picks as a part of her decision to participate at all.  Boehner didn't want any committee chairpersons but Pelosi got him to agree to Cummings.  As it was, Pelosi lost most of the negotiation but we know now that was because Hillary wanted the hearings and a chance to testify on live TV (which she correctly understood would make the Republicans look foolish and  put an end to GOP hounding).

Jordan and Banks were active participants in the coup.  Jordan, in particular, was texting  Mark Meadows with legal arguments about how to toss a wrench into the the certification.  We know now that both coup plotters were 100% aware that there was no election fraud and were simply trying find plausible excuses for making Trump President for life.

The "bad precedent" would be allowing members of the conspiracy to sit in on the investigation.  For the same reason we didn't allow Derek Chauvin to investigate the George Floyd's murder, we don't allow Banks and Jordan to investigate their crimes against Democracy.

Whether it was right or appropriate for Pelosi to deny Jordan and Banks from being on the committee is a different conversation and perhaps reasonable people can disagree.

The fact of the matter still remains that it was the republicans who chose to pull the test if their members and are now using the fact that they have none of their members on the committee as an excuse to disregard everything the committee has found.

The point I am making is that every time someone like yourself refuses to acknowledge the actual case being presented on the basis that the committee is partisan you are falling right into their manipulation tactics that could be seen a mile away. It's all about ensuring you stay on their side of the issue without ever having to actually think. Hence the term "thought terminating cliche".
