    That's the plan.

    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      If Trump wins the nomination, he should never have the opportunity to run in the general election. The Deep State let us down in 2016 by letting Trump get elected. Enough of that incompetence. In 2024 the Deep State needs to dig a little deeper and do some nefarious Deep State shit and make it impossible for Trump to run.

            BTW desantis is a fascist. He'd be as bad as Trump. Maybe worse because he isn't a dumbass and might be able to hurt gays and enemies country wide

                gotta read something before dismissing it

                or just look at actions.

                or we could ignore it.

                  I did read it. Didn't see anything new.

                  BTW, the national AP board significantly altered the proposed course. You could say that they are giving in to fascism and racism. Or you could say that there were some legitimate problems with the course.

                      So Desantis was mostly correct…regardless of why the college board changed the curriculum.

                      Desantis isn’t a great candidate for the presidency, but he’s become a bit of a caricature for the left to punch against. The term fascist is also losing its meaning given how poorly its being used over the last couple years.
                      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                        banning concepts and ideologies is totalitarian and a hallmark of a fascist. threatening college board, which is on balance a valuable institution for high level curriculum, on the basis of an ideological disagreement is insanity. the right’s newfound intolerance of uncomfortable ideas is really something to behold—just as woke as teaching crt as a critical tool.

                            She’s running to pick up 5% of the GOP electorate and use that as a bargaining chip for VP.

                              5% seems a tad generous.
