Why couldn't Republicans run someone who wasn't a 78yr old POS who wants to be dictator and hates the US Constitution?

Who do we know that would have a vendetta against South Africa and specifically would want to side with White Landowners in South Africa... people who were directly impacted by Apartheid ending. I just can't think of anyone with ties to the US government who would be upset over that. Nope, not a soul. https://apnews.com/article/trump-south-africa-rubio-ambassador-musk-pollak-f8bad19709f437e4076fbb56ef94b9df

Claim: "less than 25% goes to educating our students so where does the other 220 billion go. It goes to a bureaucracy, it goes to a consultant, and that consultant then donates money BACK TO DEMOCRATS" Facts: 160billion goes to the federal student loan program which is not democrats and not being laundered back to democrats. It is how most low income and at this rate "middle class" Americans afford the loans that allow them to go to college. So right here we have already proven this claim false. Let's keep going though. 20.5 Billion in Dept Ed money goes to k-12 schools primarily the poor ones to help them cover gaps in funding due to the fact if the students are poor, that means the property taxes are poor, which means the school is poor. This helps to get money to the lowest schools around and allow them to have services they would otherwise need to cut... maybe this is part of that 25% that makes up that 60million she claims actually goes to educating students... but I doubt that. There's 16.8 billion that goes to early intervention and support for students with disabilities. This includes 20million in funding to military schools for children with disabilities. There's 3billion for educator retention and leadership because quite frankly the nation is hemorrhaging teachers and leaders because education pays next to nothing in most places. 2.4 billion for technical and trade school training. 500 million for preschool and head start programs (ftr preschool and head start has a huge impact on student success). 16billion in direct grants to states for disability education initiatives (I suppose all those republican run states are giving this to democrats or something). 1.4billion for adult education grants also directly to the states. "The Budget includes both discretionary and mandatory funding that would make available $126 billion in new Federal student aid to help nearly 9 million students and their families pay for college." We got 3.9 billion for higher education At this rate we have accounted for... about 185 billion dollars that either goes directly to state education departments for specified programs or is the grant program that gives students their federal student loans. I suppose you could set up a massive fraud ring to get a lot of the student loan money and funnel into something else but man would that be work. You ever applied for student loans... that's a process. Idk, I am having a hard time finding the 220 billion this lady claims is going to consultants who are funneling it "back to Democrats". https://usafacts.org/explainers/what-does-the-us-government-do/agency/us-department-of-education/ https://www.ed.gov/sites/ed/files/about/overview/budget/budget24/summary/24summary.pdf

2 new defenders, preferably 1 right shot at minimum. 1 new top 6 forward, preferably gritty AF. 1-2 new bottom 6 forwards, preferably gritty AF. 1 new GM 1 new Special Teams coach 1 new Defensive coach

Further let us discuss where she made these claims. Wall Street Apes is a far right social media profile that regularly amplifies conspiracy theorists such as the infamous Catturd and Dan Bongino who is now at the FBI because this is the dumbest timeline in the multiverse apparently. They are followed by Musk, Trump, James O"keefe etc... Skimming their posts it is literally a lickspittle account for Donald Trump. They also use lots of right wing tropes such as "being awakened" as though they are suddenly and magically aware of things the mythical others are not. This type of thing is used to justify the insane conspiracies that they are boosting. It works like this, they post something far right and then claim that it is true and that those who do not believe them are some how lesser. It works almost like reverse psychology because everyone wants to be in the know. They are possessors of "special knowledge" because they have "awoken" to the "truth" which allows them to be the arbiters of whatever that truth is and if you disagree you are a sheep (follower) or blind or liberal or stupid or ... whatever they want to use. It is a tactic used a lot in cults if you want to study up on those. Ironically they use the term awaken which is like saying woke, which as we all know has been coopted to mean "dumb liberal". The introduction here is a good starting point for understanding conspiracy theories: https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/networks/radicalisation-awareness-network-ran/publications/conspiracy-theories-and-right-wing-extremism-insights-and-recommendations-pcve-2021_en So between a freedom caucus member who ran on the grounds that trump was legally elected in 2020 and that Jan 6 was not an attempted coup (it was) to the fact the place she is saying all of this is without a doubt an actual lickspittle account for Donald Trump that traffics in the farthest right conspiracy theories we have, yea... I feel without proof that what Hageman has said here seems implausible and most likely is false. If she provides real proof in the future, I would be more than happy to reconsider my stance.

A few things on this. First, Hageman is a member of the freedom caucus which is right wing as right wing can get. Considering members of the freedom caucus are expressly loyal to Trump and touted his 2020 election lie, which is partially how Hageman was elected, I think we are still on decent grounds. Second, Hageman is saying that 80% of the funding for the department of ed is money laundered. If that were the case how come the republicans haven't shown proof or shown any interest in such a thing. They have controlled both the House and Senate but now all of sudden they found this out? Why now? Why doesn't she have proof? Where is the proof? Until she provides proof, I believe she is lying. Already is becoming illegal. God Emperor Trump and Shadow President Musk are the arbiters of truth.

I personally would have liked Rosen in Murray's spot. You need to start seeing if Rosen has what it takes versus gifted minutes to a 26yr old AHL guy. I think Benson, McLeod, Zucker is the formation of a defensively responsible 2nd line. Zucker and McLeod are 4th and 5th in scoring for forwards and Benson is sound enough defensively that we shouldn't worry about him dragging that line down at all. I think that line is far better than anything Kulich would be centering if he were healthy.

We'd have to double the Sabres score to rank above the 31st place team.

We need to see Viljami in NA first. The Liiga suffers from a the problem of pace. It is the biggest concern with taking Helenius. They simply transition up ice slower and play a more deliberate counter attacking game than the NHL which is very much based on setting up 2v1s in rapid succession. All that said, I think bringing in Marjala is a good idea. He's 10th in Liiga in ppg. He's first in u25 for ppg. He has a lot of assists and I would want to know how many points he gets on the PP.

He's not good. I am then attacking you for your unwillingness to accept that fixing the defense will only make him marginally better.

Trump is a dictator. This is dictator *****. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-bidens-pardons-jan-6-committee-are-void-used-autopen-rcna196670 Looks like Biden knew what was about to happen.

UPL is something like 28th or 29th in goals saved above expected. He's one of the very bottom starters and considering that this team is good at 5v5 scoring and their possession, shot metrics, and overall xgf hovers around the middle of the league, it seems pretty obvious that UPL is bad. Will he be good next year? Idk, sure if the defense is better his numbers will improve but I don't think he's a good goalie. He's an average to a below average starter who is inconsistent and will have decent stretches. Once again you are trying to attack me and make it about me. I have nothing to do with it.

Kevyn Adams is like a lot people who aren't that smart, nor are they truly idiots, he lacks imagination.

Seriously, someone use a reason that isn't based on Lindy Ruff nostalgia to justify him being good as a POHO or a GM. He's been marginally successful at his other NHL stops. Other than that, he's kinda mediocre at coaching. Why would he be good in a higher role? Because Adams is so bad so anything is better?

Yes, because Elon Mush will control the election results. That said, it is highly unlikely the Republicans will gain more seats in the Senate in 2026. 22 Republican seats and only 13 Democrat seats are up and since the Republicans control everything and are RAPIDLY running the US into a recession all while gov services will be aggressively ended (DOGE) will result in a lot of unhappy ppl. Still the Democrats are mostly a party of losers who whine and complain but don't have the guts to really do much. They are more centrists than truly progressive overall.
