Only when the kids' parents can afford the uniforms, which has historically been used to divide the poor from the middle and upper classes.

You should really look into the case as to why that won't happen. The judge took special care to ensure Trump has no way to weasel out of paying: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-fraud-case-damages-pay-millions-judge-engoron-rcna135283

Tldr: judge appointed two independent people, one to monitor his personal wealth and the other to monitor his company's finances. All of his assets in New York are completely frozen, as Trump moved all of what he owned to his company. He did this to claim he does not have a high net worth, but it backfired as he cannot use or sell his assets to pay the bill.

He can try to appeal, but 1) the only way he can do that is by claiming the case was a mistrial, that he was treated unfairly, and 2) he must put 110% of what he owes into a bond that will be held by the court during the appeal process. There are other things I didn't go over, just know the dude is actually fucked.

Most of the plan relies on Trump also having a Republican House and Senate, which is likely for the former due to the immense gerrymandering that occurred in 2020.

Project 2025 is by far the most dangerous thing about the elections this year. It is so much worse than any other problem happening today.

Okay, that's fine, but what do you mean? Do you have examples of when she voted against "the people"?

I put the quotation marks because I'm not sure which people you're referring to.

"But my narrative!"

Not that I disagree with you, but if you counted all people who didn't have a job then you'd skew the statistic even more by counting voluntary stay at home parents and other people who don't work because they don't need to.

Can you come up with a criteria that accounts for those who don't have a job because the system prevents their access to the market without counting voluntary unemployment?

Life sure is scary when you don't understand things

I don't think that's the take they're claiming. I interpreted what they wrote as referring to straight men not understanding why they are attracted to trans women. I think the "hetero end of the sexuality scale" portion was just to clarify the situation doesn't really apply to bi or gay people as much, though I personally think a fair amount of cis gay men are very transphobic.

Nothing you said is false at all, I just don't think the original commenter was trying to have that take. If that was the take, then I 100% agree with you.

????

Biden is a moderate, as is the overwhelming majority of democratic members of Congress in both the house and the senate lol what are you on about.

If you mean moderate Republicans are unrepresented, then yes, but you have Republicans to blame for that by their refusal to stop supporting extremists.

This is the most idiotic whataboutism I've ever seen. You know there are other countries that focus on rehabilitation, countries that do not have repeat offenders like we do, right? Stop justifying a clearly broken system with theoretical nonsense, especially when that nonsense is already disproven elsewhere.
