Greg Burnham Asks, "Does Education Forum Have TDS?"

[Tom Graves]

The claim that Putin installed Trump in the White House is as sure sign of TDS as there is. You have to be really nutty to think Putin had that kind of power. Did he also install Obama? Bush 43? Just where did Putin get such power?

Trump got elected the same way all but two of our elected presidents did. He got a majority of the electors who were selected in the manner prescribed by the various state legislatures. In all but two states, that is a slate of electors pledged to a specific candidate in a winner take all popular vote. Just where did Putin disrupt that process?

Dear Herr Corbett,

You're ignorant and naive -- par for the course for Conservative Libertarians.

P.S. "TDS" = Trump Disinformation Sanitizer.

Get a case or two before it's too late.

And remember, don't drink it.

It's not bleach.

Did it require a college education to construct that last sentence?

Given that so many of our universities have become indoctrination camps, having a college degree is not all it's cracked up to be. How smart is it to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to get a degree and then not be able to land a job that can allow them to pay off the loan in less than a few decades. The smart kids are the ones who learned in-demand trades either on the job or at trade schools that cost a fraction of what a college degree costs.

Russian meddling in our elections goes back a long way and there's no evidence it has ever affected any outcome. Democrats just can't admit they lost in 2016 and 2024 because they chose terrible candidates to lead their tickets, so they made up the story about Putin stealing the election for Trump. Is that an example of the kind of thinking they are teaching in colleges these days? Blame somebody else for your poor choices.
