Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

For someone seemingly working so hard to just insult, is that really all you can come up with?
Frankly, I am disappointed in your poor showing here.

Meh, if that is your best then whatever education you may have floated through seems to have not caught on the Velcro in your skull.

Do you think using common monosyllabic words is insulting?

All depends on what the words are and the context of using them. Is using monosyllabic words as insults a thing now? Never heard of it.

There’s not much by way of accountability as it is.

That's factually wrong.

I would never dream of wasting my best on the likes of you. Not even close to being necessary.

You are the one who said that using the word "ilk" in the appropriate context was an insult, so you clearly think it's a thing.

Thanks for the laugh.

Go away, the adults are talking.

Look, if you choose to pretend you didn't mean it as an insult, I'm cool with that. I expected nothing better from you and thus, won't be disappointed in the future now I know what to expect.
Just don;t me to go along with something so asinine as "I didn't mean it as an insult".

Vouchers offer students in those school systems options.

No they actually do not. Studies of states with vouchers show that almost all the money is claimed by families who already had their kids in private schools. Also common is private schools raising their tuition by the amount provided by the vouchers.

What you are stating was the ruse used to push the voucher system through. In practice it’s just a means to take taxpayer money away from public schools and give it to families who don’t need the money and to private schools.

Vouchers are terrible, as they are being implemented. They should go away immediately.

It wasn't me that said it. I was just asking a question.

One should have been able to read that post no matter who wrote and easily determined it was insulting. I can't pretend otherwise.

You said I was the one who said it. I didn't say it. A simple "Hey, my bad, I got you confused with someone else" is all you should be saying.

Oh, gee, I am SOOOOO sorry.
Feel better now?

If you can't actually act like an adult who has mature discussions, what is it you are here to do?

I am not here to whine about a mistake or to hear whining about a simple mistake. Take it or leave it, matters not to me. An 'apology' seemed important to you, so I gave you one. You're welcome.

Do you believe that someone correcting your mistakes is actually whining?

Edit: And you didn't answer my question. Why do you insist on avoiding questions that are asked of you?

The history of the justice department’s civil rights division is the product of lynchings, aged patients dying of neglect, and police officers murdering people in the street. It is the legacy of Matthew Shepard and Breonna Taylor and Emmett Till.

When local authorities would not investigate civil rights violations – or were violating rights themselves – communities have had to rely on federal investigators to fill the gap in justice.

The question these communities will ask over the next four years is who the civil rights division under Donald Trump will protect.

Trump plans to tap a loyalist whose civil rights résumé largely consists of culture-war battles over campus free-speech issues and attacks on diversity initiatives to helm the justice department’s civil rights division.

The move puts at risk hundreds of active investigations, from police misconduct to employment and housing discrimination to abuses in jails and prisons.

Trump intends to replace the assistant attorney general, Kristen Clarke, the current chief of the civil rights division and the first Black woman to lead the division, with Harmeet Dhillon, a Maga darling and fixture in rightwing media.

“I talk to people who are depressed because the outcome of the election, and I have to remind them, this is not our first lynching,” said the Rev Gerald Durley, a contemporary of Martin Luther King and pastor emeritus of Pastor of Providence Missionary Baptist church in Atlanta.

“During the early days, when real lynches were occurring, we took the body down, we buried it, we kept on moving, and we kept on marching.”

Since the start of the Biden administration, the civil rights division has charged more than 120 people in more than 110 cases under hate-crimes laws, from the prosecution of three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery, a Black jogger in Brunswick, Georgia, to the murderer of 10 Black people in a Buffalo supermarket, to the white nationalist who killed 23 people he perceived to be Hispanic immigrants at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019.…..

Fears for civil rights as Trump taps Maga darling for key justice department role

Rights leaders worry that Harmeet Dhillon could harm work into police misconduct, discrimination and hate crimes
