Oh I see. So when it's somethint stupidly and colossally selfish, he goes rigjt over their heads, but when it's anywhere on the spectrum of good for people, he has to follow the rules? Just wanted to mark the goal posts

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

crossposting between here and IG but I get a free turkey through BJ's sometime in the next 2 weeks, and I do not need a turkey (eating pernil which is my god given puerto rican right). if you need or someone you know needs a turkey this thanksgiving please let me know. (contd)

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.
