Who is this?

anti-north korean activist that got a boob job after coming to america and became a social media start

she also likes to post thirst traps if you're into that sorta thing https://www.instagram.com/yeonmi_park/?h...

Looks like a blow up doll to me.


I assumed she was AI at first.


The Texas floods look horrific. 100+ dead 100+ more still missing and conservative local state and federal authorities so no matter how ridiculous nobody will say that these deaths could have been prevented with more competent people in charge. Obama rebuilt much of FEMA after Bush had it run by crannies and know nothings. Given the state of other federal agencies, it seems impossible wed haven't deteriorated back to that.

Good heavens.


That’s why it’s incredibly tone deaf and borderline ******ed to blame the “alphabet mafia” when we are dealing with a fundamentalist cult that will devote their lives to support Trump

Wow. Epstein changed her mind? Really?


While I would say that the people with the largest following and with the loudest voices are just awful horrible grifter sociopath types, the meat and potatoes of the MAGA movement are just incredibly stupid and incredibly religious people


People like this exist. It's interesting that folks who are "MAGA" are often referred to being racist yet you never see them making racist rants like this lady.

This is just disgusting.

So maga is canceling people over racism now? Because I remember them donating 600k to a woman who said "n*****" to a little kid.

Yeah it's not about racism, it's about racism against whites. Just look at the comment section.

RIP to the children that died but your lot is more than happy to try to find the random people saying crappy things to try to make this a political thing (ironically).





Its all fringe free speech until they are being racist towards white people then its a deplorable deep seated liberal belief, or something

LOL he can't find any maga-morons being racist but literally posted a link to a WHOLE COMMENT SECTION FULL OF THEM. You can't make this stuff up. No one would ever believe it.


For every Trisha Hope, there's a counterpart who walks around in a "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" shirt.

Then you've got checkisdraw up here with his revisionist history about the online donation campaign race-battle. The first mover on that was the black kid who killed the white kid over a seating dispute at a high school sporting event being given hundreds of thousands of dollars by people making anti-white comments in the donation page.

The woman threw a hard R at a kid not behaving himself at a playground was in the right place at the right time to benefit from people trying to make a similar but opposite statement.

There aren't very many of these people out in the wild, but they dominate the conversation because of how loud and absurd they are on what is a permanent and globally accessible record. The Internet was a mistake.

Bring back bowling and taking pride in the appearance of your lawn and garden. Make people too busy to spend time getting riled up on the web.

FWIW, my yard is 96% weeds. Do as I say, not as I do.

An open mind is like an open wound.

OR

Don’t let your mind be so open that your brain falls out.

Take your pick, they both apply to you.

I just knew that for you to be posting an example of disgusting racism, it just had to be against whites

Maybe, but they're certainly not Christian.

Now, this guy is Christian. I've been watching some videos of his speeches and they're amazing. It is almost enough to make me not hate Christianity in general.

In other news, further proof that public education is just a welfare system for people with otherwise not very useful college degrees.

Imagine being Vermont and doubling your real $$ spent per pupil with no effect on their educational attainmen

Public school spending doesn’t have much to do with degrees

But yeah, spending money on students isn’t going to want to make them learn. If they aren’t instilled with a curiosity at home most people won’t learn it at school.

We’ve basically removed all burden of parenting from the parents, blame our teachers and our school systems, then harp on parents rights like these pieces of **** are doing anything to raise their kids

This graphic would get so much worse if it was broken down in more detail and looked at a district-by-district figure.

Milwaukee Public Schools spends more than twice per pupil than many suburban districts do and the outcomes are atrocious. Coordi nailed it that this isn't a school issue, but if you rely on the schools to fix it, they'll just do the one thing they know how to do, which is throw more money at consultants and administrators.

America's failing educational outcomes are a parenting problem. Full stop.

I mean, that's a factor for sure but I'm not sure I agree with everything here.

I think it's worth our money to do everything we can to lift up children. Even if it means one out of every 100. If we can break the cycle that pays off generationally.

It's super expensive but it seems to me that if we put enough resources into it, the costs go down over time.

I just think education is one of the most important things our government should focus on.

Public school spending is mostly salaries to workers in the public school system.

And the party you defend as superior in the USA finds in teachers unions some of their staunchest allies.

And everytime they ask for more money, with pundits in that same party claiming it's a moral imperative to fund education more... Where have you been with this take that they already already paid more than enough?

you are here now admitting that yes all that money is entirely wasted and only inflates the pockets of teachers and administrators.

And that's about degrees. Leftist captured colleges churn out low quality graduates while being subsidized by massive amounts of public money; and those graduates in shitty low quality degrees need employment, and public education is the obvious destination for a lot of them.

And the system finds a perfect equilibrium while taxpayers get fleeced.

Students be damned, as the public school system only exists for the benefit of the people working in it, socialism at last realized.

You are making some extreme logical leaps here relative to college to satisfy your preconceived point

I don't think money in Vermont Public schools is going to the teachers as they make 50k a year
