Individual 1 calling Ronnie DeSantis an ephebophile.
Awesome. This is what I long for - Trump taking down the rest of the party with him.
Plus a dose of “Libruls too stupid to know where food comes from, har har har!”
Isn’t that just a re-tweet? Trump may have thought it was a compliment.
When did Trump become Don McClean’s thumb?
Fight, fight fight fight fight fight!
Man, who could have guessed that normalizing the argument, “Everyone who opposes me politically is a pedophile!” would have a downside?!?
What’s this got to do with Elon Musk?
Just like, >takes hit from joint< everything man, you know?
Every accusation is a confession
The problem with everyone going “dirty” is that nobody even middlingly “clean” even bothers trying. They’ve basically made it impossible for any actual principled conservative to even show up.
I think I’ve found one of the stupidest ideas they’ve ever had! A Republican in Montana has introduced a bill to ban teaching scientific theories in school, requiring schools to only teach “scientific facts”.
As used in this section, “scientific fact” means an indisputable and repeatable observation of a natural phenomenon
So, you could, say, measure the temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas at different temperatures, but don’t you dare go trying to relate any of that to the Ideal Gas Law! That shit’s just a theory!
He tried to back peddle on this once the problems were pointed out, but that doesn’t change the fact (heh!) that he clearly doesn’t understand anything about how science actually works.
Man, Republicans just want everyone to be too fucking stupid to know better than to oppose them.
At least Democrats still believe in: Vote for me, here’s a reason why!
They’ve been literally saying that out loud for a long time now.
(I edited that text because I think I fucked up the clarity of what I was trying to say.)
I requoted it.
Holy crap, that’s gonna make me look smarter in the future! Thanks, Joey P! I owe you! 
What is even more perverse is that evolution as a concept (as separate from the application to explain the diversification of life on earth) is far more a fact that just about any other scientific concept.
The observation that if you have an entity that passes its qualities to the next generation, but does so imperfectly so that random qualities are introduced, and if there is a selection pressure such that the probability that an entity reproduces depends on its qualities, then eventually those qualities that resulted in higher reproduction will dominate, is just mathematics. It’s as much a fact as 2+2=4. Much more so than some woolly concept like Newton’s laws of motion.
In thinking about it, I think a teacher could have some fun designing lesson plans to work around this.
Like, in “science” class, do the measurements as posted above, and plot them all out on various graphs, but don’t make any comment about how those graphs might be interpreted in order to develop a theory about how we might predict the volume of a gas if we know the pressure and temperature.
Then, in a “math” class, present a (“Completely unrelated, I swear!”) graph with a certain distribution of data points, and then teach best fit lines and curves, and how to use those for interpretation and extrapolation of additional points. The smart kids would probably figure out the connection themselves, and by blurting it out in class, they’d inadvertently teach the other kids.
And if anyone complains, we can go to the media with a story about how “Republicans punished this student just for doing arithmetic!”
And then the R’s would pass a law to burn these smart kids as they are clearly witches.
