Half the school board thinks Keith deserves a third chance (that's right, not his first time making inappropriate comments to a child).

They say only he can decide if he wants to step down. They did vote in favor of censuring him. The rest of the school board members that laughed during the comment and touching of a child faced no repercussion. Some even pretended to be offended during the emergency hearing.

lmao

literal pedo president started a war to distract from his pedo files and your response is both sides same

While your statement is popular, my response was to a bet that the subject of this post was a republican because he is inappropriate with minors.
My response to trump in general would probably get me banned.

saying dems are the same as repubs just better at hiding it is some silly shit in 2026

individual examples exist but anyone with eyes can tell the difference in trend

do you remember Al Fraken? dude didn't even do anything wrong

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're just gonna pretend the Clintons weren't part of the pedo files?

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

tell you what, Trump can release the full unredacted Epstein files and we can find out together

[–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Agreed! However, Biden also could've released the files.

Any current senator, or from the past 5 years, could release the full unredacted files but are actively choosing not to.

sure and if Biden was currently president I’d be on board caring about it right now

hell if we can prove he knew and hid it I’m even fine exploring if charges are possible after but I’m sure as fuck not wasting any effort caring about that this very moment

single biggest issue is getting Trump to stop fucking this country up further, worrying about anything else is like trying to diagnose cancer while the patient is bleeding out from a gut wound

even if the Epstein files were not a thing that would still be true, there are so many other ways he has destroyed this country for the foreseeable future

he should hang for the highest top secret leaks alone, literal traitor for profit during war time

We can though. They've all had the full unredacted files since 2019 and have had plenty of partial evidence since 2008.

You should because until you do everything will continue to get worse.

The tail doesn't wag the dog, Trump is a symptom not the root cause. The issue with your metaphor is that the cancer and bleeding out are unrelated.

That and so much more! It's never going to happen though without severe political upheaval because almost anyone who would order that execution has hands which are similarly bloody.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

no because it is literal whataboutism and hopefully even the slowest in the class by this point can identify concern trolling

asking anyone to care about Biden in the face of Trump 2026 is lol

Which is why we're all doomed to repeat the same fucking cycle over and over again.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

we’re doomed because there are Americans so fucking stupid they think the Trump terms are normal and comparable to anything in the last 50ish years

we have not been this bad off since Nixon

get ready to ride your ‘bothsidessame’ into stagflation

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world -2 points 19 hours ago

He didn't need to know. It's a knee-jerk politician reaction to not release ingo if it may hurt anyone in thier party... or the oligarchy.
