Does this photo make you cringe?

Trump holds up an executive order to dismantle the education department, in Washington DC on Thursday.

I think it is horrible that he used some kids as props. Cheers!

    Here is one of the jokes that Trump and Musk might be getting their jollies with.

    Knock knock.

    Who’s there?

    Algebra.

    Algebra Who?

    Algebra Smellgebra – you won’t need algebra to flip our burgers kid.

    Cheers!

    Not at all, it's about time we educate our children properly.

    Nope. Education should be in the control of the states and local government.  So they can push the Woke BS out of the schools.

    It used to have to do with being aware of racial injustices in the past. 
    But it currently means extreme leftist ideology.

    You MAGAs regard anything to the left of Mussolini as "extreme leftist". The Democrats are actually center-right with rare exceptions like AOC (who is a Bernie disciple - Bernie himself is now independent).

    Democrats are leftists.  And they are on the left on USA which the topic at hand.  It does not matter where they are on the global scale.  This about American politics and the Democrats are on the left. And some on the extreme left.  

    We all know who they are and what they stand for. And that is why Trump won.  They always go to far and Americans push them out.   Bernie has always been an Independent who caucuses with the Dems...and yes AOC started as a Bernie campaign volunteer.   But those are hardly the only woke leftists in the Dem party.

    You know what the left and the right side of political positions are in the USA. You do not need me to explain it to you.

    So youi freely use a phrase that you can't define.  Got it.

    I did define it.  
    We all know what positions are left and what ones are right and we all know what is extreme and what is not. 

    No need in pretending we don't know.

    No, you did not define it.  You skirted the issue because you really don't know what constitutes being "woke" or "extreme leftism."  You merely parrot what Trump tells youi to think.  End of discussion because it's a fruitless to waste of my time.

    Please.  Trump is to the left of me.  He does not tell me what to think. I had my positions when Trump was still a Democrat. 
    Woke is an extreme leftist. 
    Open borders, globalist, man made climate hoax, communist/socialists, gender confusion etc being in our schools and sports, violent extremists, DEI supporting. War supporting, etc.  

    We can pretend someone who follows politics does not know this or we can be honest.

    man made climate hoax not denying confirmed science

    There. I fixed it for you.

    I'm a socialist like Jesus and John the Baptist, and Trump was never a Democrat. A DINO maybe. He's also not a Christian, Jesus didn't schmooze up to the money lenders and billionaires and ask them for bribes "donations", on the contrary he fashioned a makeshift whip and drove them out raining blows and hurling imprecations at them.

    The climate changes always has...always will.  There is more ice now than there was during the viking age. 

    Jesus wasn't a socialist.  He taught to "render unto Caesar what was Caesars and unto God what is Gods." The church is to take care of the poor and the widows and orphans.  Jesus never taught to render unto Ceasar so Caesar may render unto the poor.

    You do not know what either of them may or may not do for others.  You are assuming that anything they do would be done in public for public approval...that is the only reward.  You do not/cannot know what either man is/has done in private/anonymously from their prayer closet.

    Given that Trump is both worlds leading braggart & narcissist, I think we'd know.
