Explain 'Schwartz' then.

Turns out a lot of Jews lived in Germany in the 1800s.

 

[Nihil Jung]

It's a german last name that most often appears in Iowa. What's with retards thinking that every Germanic last name is Jewish?

Probably all the Jews that adopted Germanized spelling of their names and then went abroad. Probably. Just a guess.

Tell progressives to eat shit. Remove IDpol and quit saying white man bad. Tell niggers that law is back and remove limp dick DAs, promise a less crime riddled America. Focus on labor and middle class. Remove sanctuary cities and tell blacks that illegal tacos are taking all the jobs. Promise no more global adventures and state a focus on removing corruption.

Also I would have a candidate with really huge boobs and was hot.

so basically just become MAGA and run Tulsi Gabbard.

the dems are in too deep to moderate, if they did they'd lose the Coalition of fags and browns and most whites are gonna stay with the repubs simply because atleast the republicans haven't spent the past 20 years calling them all POS that need to die. the only chance the left has is to hope the culture rapidly shifts back to how it was in 2020 but even then what arguments do they have anymore? the left got everything they ever wanted, had all the power in the world and made everyone's life worse for it. they have literally nothing to run on, no ideas how to make the world "better" they're fucked.

Late but was talking with a younger guy about this; when he was in elementary school he had something called "Accelerated Reading," and the points he got from their quizzes was tied to the "reading grade." I think the idea was that kids would read many books at their level, but the guy I talked to said he would just read like one or two "hard" books and not read any library books for the rest of the semester. If that's true, crafty guy.

I had AR starting late in elementary, presumably early on as it was starting to become a thing. I don't know how standardized it was but I didn't mind how my school did it, and this is all pre No Child Left Behind so not everything was specifically catered to the lowest common denominator yet

Basically the first year what we did was take a quick test, I think 15-30 minutes depending on the student's abilities. That roughly calculated your reading level and put assigned you a grade-equivalent which was separate from the actual grade you were in school. Subsequent years we just picked up at the level we left off of

The library was sorted by difficulty and the books were assigned points based on difficulty and length, and every semester you had a goal of however many points points depending on your level


Once you hit your goal you were free to read whatever you wanted whether it was above or below your level (we had reading time every day and you had to read something even if you were done), and the elementary school library had everything from first to 12th grade reading level stuff, plus some that just weren't classified because they were probably too mature for kids to be reading (not in the explicit sense, just covering things a kid would have no context for)

If you felt like you were in the wrong level you could take tests for harder books after hitting your goal and if you scored 80 or higher on a couple of them you could get bumped up to the next level

I enjoyed reading and it worked pretty much perfectly for me, I had to read highschool level stuff that was reasonably challenging for me for the first half or so of each semester that I wouldn't have picked if I didn't have to, and then I was able to go back to the kids books that I enjoyed for a bit as well, and I also tried to read something off the 12th grade shelf each semester just to impress people lol

Not sure where you're pulling that name from but lets go with it.

Heinrich Schwarz was the commander of Monowitz, a subcamp of Auschwitz.

Franz Xaver Schwarz was the treasurer of the Nazi Party.

Gutfeld's always been on the edgier side, he was a big Howard Stern collaborator back in the day.

The difference is nowadays Stern is a male feminist and soyfaggot and Gutfeld is shitposting about the urban ceiling bird.

Here's a interesting question.
If you were in charge of the DNC, what would you do to try to win 2028? do you stick with Moderates? lean harder into the left?

Lean *hard* into the moderates. There's still a lot of "classical liberals" that have gone over to the right because they were basically forced out of the left. They could pick up more than they would lose among the radicals.

See, the radicals have nowhere else to go. The two party system kills them. There's no farther-left party that's worth speaking of. The worst they could do is just not vote at all, they wouldn't start voting for republicans. But the moderates are starting to vote Republican, particularly as the Republican party is doing exactly what I'm talking about in the other direction.

It's what Trump's strength is, and it's why some people on the right hate him so bad - he's dragged the Republican party farther towards moderate than it was for decades - it's basically almost verboten in current republican discourse to be anti-gay, for example. The focus has shifted from just general anti-gay hate to specific issues, many of which even the moderate left can get behind - grooming, drag queens for kids, gay porn in schools, etc. Specific issues, not broad hatred. Meanwhile, one of the old bastions of the right, the "pro life" crowd, has been marginalized - the current republican stance is more "abortion is bad, but put it in the hands of the states" than "ban it all together". And despite the evangelicals on Xitter making a big stink about how "if Trump isn't anti-abortion, I can't vote for him! He'll regret it!"... It's not like they're going to vote for the party that would make fetus-eating legal in a couple decades at the rate they were going. The worst case scenario is they don't vote at all, not that they vote for the other guy - and realistically most of them aren't even going to abstain, since they know that as much as they may not like Trump's stance, the current left is far worse.

Extremists on either side are a bad group to court - they aren't the majority of your base.

Trump understands that. Democrats don't.

honestly the only serious person that has a chance to win has to be someone like Stephen A Smith. someone who has both republican and liberal ideas, and can actually help move the party back to sanity

[The Last Stand]

IMHO, the one thing Trump is failing with the moderate vote is his position on the Israel-Palestine War, especially compared to his stance on wanting to end the Russo-Ukraine War because it is costing American taxpayers in the short and long run. It still feels like that the Republican Party loves to kowtow to Israel interests in spite of American values. I'd argue that is worse than the anti-abortion types as they are working behind the scenes for religious pandering until they outright say it.

Personally I believe Trump doesn't actually want to annex Canada. The Canadian shit is something deliberately outrageous and salacious that the media and reddit retards will oy vey and fixate on distracting them from the stuff Trump is doing regarding mass deportation and DOGE.

It's a deliberate distraction ploy and it's working because journalists are fucking stupid.

I feel like in all likelihood this is the actual reason, combined with the negotiaton tactic of demanding something absurd to make what you actually want seem like a more reasonable compromise. It'll probably end with either favorable trade conditions, or maybe the sale of some of the northernmost islands if Canada becomes especially desperate. TLD is funnier though.

My hebro in Christ, "Kurz" is German, "Kurtz" is the Yiddish derivative from German.

Explain 'Schwartz' then.

Same with Schwartz. The German word is "Schwarz". The tz is a dead giveaway.

Edit:

Not sure where you're pulling that name from but lets go with it.

Heinrich Schwarz was the commander of Monowitz, a subcamp of Auschwitz.

Franz Xaver Schwarz was the treasurer of the Nazi Party.

See above. Schwarz =| Schwartz

Kurtzleben means "short life" btw. Funny name.

They wouldn't lose California, you nit.

You can only "lose" someone if there's an alternative that suits them better.

That's why Trump hasn't "lost" Evangelicals, despite the fact they hate him.

bzzt wrong. A lot of Jews lived in Germany and hence have German surnames. Thanks for playing.

I was thinking of it the entire time too. That movie makes my day.

I'd love to visit Europe in general if they finally nutted up and expelled all of the Islamists. I'm not trying to see the countryside only to get trucked/stabbed.
