Nah, that whole ten dimensional chess thing was always bunk. He's an idiot, there's no clever scheme to do anything with him and his ilk. This is just him blowing it like he blew georgia (which he's trying to blow again) because his fee fees are hurt.

Trump's ego overrides any other concern. He would let the whole world burn as long as he got to feel good about himself.

Texas School District Tries To Legitimize Holocaust Denial
Quote:A school district superintendent in North Texas apologized Thursday night after one of the district's administrators told teachers that if they have books about the Holocaust in their classroom libraries, then they should also include books that have "opposing" views of the Holocaust.

I didn't say Trump thought it up. He's still got his gang in his ear.

The gang that cant shoot straight and always fucks it up? The very best people? I think they're idiots too, to a man. It's a good thing they were, because, as we can now see, if they were just a sliver more competent than they are in mere reality, we'd be living in a dictatorship this morning.

I guess the proof will be in the 2022 turnout at the polls.

I really wish there was absolute proof of multiverses, or parallel universes beyond what QM suggests. If it were physically possible, I would move to the universe where that jackass was never born, where his dad and mom had a headache instead of what paned out in this universe.

Michael Caine has announced his retirement from acting. Kinda wistfully sad, but understandable.

Listening to the audio, I'm not 100% sure that the administrator was actually endorsing the idea that people should teach the controversy about the Holocaust; it could be that she's saying "this is what the law says, like it or not." The way she's saying it, that interpretation could be plausible.
Either way, I'm convinced that results like this are exactly what you should expect when the law decides it's going to let far-right ideologies control what teachers teach, especially when the right is moving so far to the right that Twitter doesn't ban Nazis because their views are too similar to what mainstream conservatives profess.
