Argued with a friend about this, fairly certain we were arguing past each other.
His argument was that middle schoolers are already having sex, despite being told not to, so it's better to provide protection and avoid unwanted pregnancy and life-destroying consequence, as well as avoiding the taxpayer drain of unwanted pregnancies.
My argument was that providing condoms is condoning the action, making it seem more culturally acceptable and permitted by an authority figure.

Do schools even bother telling kids not to have sex anymore or am I in the wrong here?

Was literally just talking about this last night, crazy. I think "kids are gonna have sex no matter what so just accept it and educate them" is along the same lines as "everyone watches porn, its healthy and normal"
I'm starting to think yeah... no, kids shouldn't be having sex and you can prevent it. Just like yeah, no, porn is bad actually. What else was ingrained into my mind that I should be rethinking, I wonder?

So lots of federal departments (FBI, DoJ, NOAA, State, CDC) are telling their staff to ignore Elon.

Didn't have Patel going full street-shitting back-stabber in the first 48 hours on my bingo card.

He had better clarify this publicly pretty fuckin' quick. Listing 5 bullet points of what you did in the last week should not be a mentally heavy lift for the superior human capital currently staffing the FBI.

This is just faggots trying to weave a tale of infighting. Those are all departments with a personally picked Trump head and they already have his blessing to clean house how they see fit.

I think a lot of it has to do with revealing classified information, at least that seems to be the concern with some of the department heads refusing Elon.
 
First they culled the Birds so Chicken and Egg prices go through the roof so they can blame Trump for the first year or two while things recover.

Now they're trying to cull all the cows so Milk and Beef prices go through the roof so they can blame Trump for the first year or two while things recover.

You WILL eat the bugs. You HAVE to eat the bugs! It's IMPORTANT. Mother Earth is DYING and the people killing her have families and homes!

Remember: Saying you won't eat the bugs? They don't care. In fact, they like it when you do that, because when they force you to eat them anyway it's a victory that you won't notice, but your soul will.

Now, outlaw selling bugs as food? They'll go postal.

Brilliant strategy.

Anybody dumb enough to follow that advice deserves to be fired.

I'm confident in the ability of the elite human capital to communicate the sort of work they have been doing in a discrete manner, respectful of the regulations surrounding classified information and programs.

Hillary's failure in 2016 was so catastrophic, the Democrats actually learned and dropped identity politics (at least in the Presidential candidate) by running straight white cis Christian male Joe Biden, which could be forgiven because he was Obama's vice president and came with a side of Kamala.

But after Biden, Kamala being "the first (insert demographic) and (insert demographic)" president wasn't enough and she lost more spectacularly than Hillary. Why do you think the Democratic party just made their leaders two white men?

And this is even assuming Biden won or that the people who voted Biden even wanted him as tons of the left got strong-armed into needing to support him and Hillary.

2016 was the beginning of the end. 2020 was a very circumstantial election, even taking out any potential fraud, given the 1-2 punch of lock downs and Flyod riots. If anything, Kamala’s loss is a significant blow to the Dems more than ever as it gives way to the younger aisles to no longer be strong-armed like 2016-2020. They can no longer force Obama on the Bernietards as they now have ammo to truly start launching attacks on Obama as his era failed the party. The Woke aisle is also going to take more jabs as clearly not listening to the side that wanted a black gay trans person bound to a wheelchair is why they lost. Obama and Kamala just didn’t check off enough boxes to win and didn’t support enough causes like trans.

A bit of anecdotal evidence, but in 2022 I had to take some hard lefty courses, one of which had a day of us reading an article about how Obummer was racist and terrible for black people as Black Jesus’ ego in trying to build his library was pricing blacks out of their homes. He was also disregarding Chicago environmental policies and destroying wildlife areas. It was a bit crazy to see such a left-heavy class randomly go off on how Obama is a mass piece of shit after weeks of blacks are oppressed and discriminated against in Chicago, whites steal music from blacks, Trump promotes violence towards Asians, we need more social circles for POCs, etc..

Weren’t tigers and other big cats dying of “bird flu?” It’s not enough for chickens to justify their own mass culling. Now only cows in the US seem to be dying of bird flu- very convenient for a disease to stay within national borders!

Does Trump or his admin have a way to investigate this?

Reddit users have been conditioned (from a steady diet of Marvel, The Office, and Stephen Colbert) into believing they can zinger their way to victory.

You know, believing you can zinger your way to victory is a thing. Trump proved it quite effectively.

The problem is, as always, left wing politics as it's stands is complete and utter anathema to the idea of making zingers.

1: Ideally, they should go without explanation to be short and catchy. OP already fucks this up with part 1 because he needs to explain his first point
2: They should be short and catchy in general. 5 points is too much, a single phrase would do.
3: You need to know what people are saying. As everyone knows, the standard leftist tactic is to shut everyone out and shut everyone up. Which means they have no idea how to dig at right-wingers insecurities about the trump administration.
4: You need at least an iota of guts to risk it with a real zinger. And every single one of these people is a naturally gutless person, a maggot whose method of sustaining itself was crawling in the dark and hiding from the light.
