Touche

?

Are you referring to the spelling of "mom" rather than "mum"?

mom

or switch two of the letters (discLexia) and it becomes mom.

See the difference?

Obvious, uninteresting and wrong.

You might very well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

I know the answer. And it isn't this. But I really wish it was.

He overestimates himself, as do most people, but he's not as dumb as you think. In fact, he probably has an above average IQ, but maybe I'm wrong about that and think I know more than I really do.

That's like how you can only get a loan from a bank if you can show you don't need the money.

I don't understand why you choose to use gifs when you can't make a firm point having actual reality on your side 100% on writing.

It's like you give up on the actual chances you have to be right and only insist when you are wrong, something I can't understand

Lol.

Trump's behavior over the last month has really underscored his commitment to undermining confidence in U.S. election results. It's easy to see the whole playbook:

Before election day:

1) Repeatedly say that you are way ahead, no matter what you really think.
2) Point repeatedly to any poll or betting market that supports your claim that you are way ahead, regardless of how much or how little predictive value the poll or market has. (As an aside, I would be really curious to have more information about the multi-accounter who pushed the odds so significantly on Polymarket a few weeks ago.)
3) Make baseless allegations of ongoing fraud, especially in key states. Claim that fraud already has been discovered and proven, no matter what the actual facts are.
4) Lay the groundwork for a pressure campaign against state election officials in key states.

On election day, before the polls close:

5) Claim that dead people, non-citizens, etc. are voting in almost every key jurisdiction. Every six minutes, claim that a plan by Democrats to steal the election is in process.

After the polls close on election day (unless you appear to have won the election handily):

6) Claim victory well before the election has been called.
7) Immediately start leaning on state election officials in key states.

If the election is called for you:

8) Claim that Democratic cheating obscures the fact that you actually won in a landslide.

If the election is called for Harris:

9) Claim that the election has been stolen and create as much outrage and chaos as you can. Point to steps 1-3 and 5 as evidence that the election is being stolen.
10) Start trying to manipulate the state elector process.
11) File a bunch of baseless litigation.

This is what Trump supporters refer to as the legitimate use of all the tools in the toolbox....

I'm not in any of these classrooms. While I doubt what you're describing is a thing that is happening, I don't doubt there is some indoctrination going on. For example, you know, stuff about the Earth being born before you were, or pixies in the sky doing all sorts of stuff. Did you conveniently forget about that? Because that is a real thing that is happening, as opposed to th

Jfc I actually teach (assist really, but I handle the classes myself, largely) in a local high school a couple of weeks each semester as part of a local science program. I've done it for years. The school where I teach, and every school in this area is the same, has easily 80% conservative teachers. Liberals are rare in the classroom here. Luciom has no $##@$ idea what he's talking about....
