    As long as the domestic birth rate is below 2.1 it is mathematically and scientifically irrefutably correct since illegal immigration is illegal and not a valid solution to continue the next generation of our country.

    Not really. And if he did lie, it was of the occasional variety we've seen from almost all politicians for eternity, such as personal embellishments.

    You post nonstop to support a guy who enacted a literal campaign of lies about fake fake election fraud, which was part of a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election. There's quite a difference.

    And your political idol ran, well EVERY, campaign based on racist lies; "Mexican rapists are coming over." "They're eating the dogs."


    Not that you care, of course. You'll probably do a funny rating. As in : "Haha, Donald Trump lied for 4 years straight about fake election fraud. He lied that the election was stolen, and he made everyone who wanted any support from him publicly tell the same lies. Hahahaha, it was so funny!"

    The subject of the thread seems pretty interesting. I don't know why it needs to turn into .... "Yeah, well Biden lied ..." ..."Oh yeah, Trump lied more ...."

    Yenor is correct. Society needs more women to have kids and have them at a younger age imo. If they have kids and want a degree they will be able to do it for free online once Trump takes over.

    So the human race is only successful if it is growing? So the endgame is people lying on top of people in an Earth so dense with people it chokes out every other organism? We WIN! Good one.

    In my experience, when people complain about not being able to use certain words, that’s what it often boils down to. Maybe you can provide this list of words that mean old liberals have supposedly made off limits?

    I’m guessing most words you could think of would also not be allowed on Too Hot either. Almost like… there’s consequences or something. Some people don’t understand that’s all part of free speech. A person is free to do some hate filled screed. An employer or platform is generally free to cut ties with such a person. Or not. It’s up each person and none of it violates the “free speech” of the other. In the case of a person like this “professor”, it gets a bit more complicated to deal with if it’s cloaked in academic freedom or he works for a university (I.e the state). In essence, people like this have figured out an avenue to become professional trolls.

    The board of a university (or the Governor’s office for that matter) is no place for anyone that does not see and understand the value education adds to society.

    I think education is sorely needed, I just do not think it always has to come in the name of a useless diploma.

    Gotta love how she leaves out the corporate grind/climb from this equation, given that it's the singular reason most women wait to have kids. Certainly we wouldn't want to ask our corporate/campaign financing leaders to adjust their business models in any way to accommodate women in their 20s having kids. No, we'll just revert back to the 19th century instead and blame education.

    And how is he going to actually thwart them? Is he going to pass rules that limit how many women can apply (doubt that would survive a lawsuit). Is he on the admissions committee which will just throw all the applications from women in the trash?

    I know, right? So much to see with all those closed doors on all those stalls. Just a perv's free-for-all, right? Nevermind the pervy lesbians who get free reign, right?

    Except this is a recent occurrence for the US (post 2008) and we have a large millennial generation to get us through the next 20-30 years AND, the rest of the world (outside Africa and SE Asia) is far worse off in this respect. It's more about industrialization and urbanization than self loathing.

    Careful one can get hurt twisting like a pretzel like that. I'm amazed at what people will swallow in the name of party politics. Let me guess.... Lapado is a great pick for Surgeon General as well. LOL

    I get the emotions of the moment, but Scott was far worse than DeSantis. Come on. The Get off My Beach Law? Does it get more carpetbagger POS than that?

    That was essentially his argument in defending his position at Boise State. He said outwardly discriminatory comments against women, but claimed to not discriminate their grades. Maybe he didn’t, but that still doesn’t make discriminatory comments acceptable or even legal. It would be like an admission officer publicly saying “look, i don’t think women should be here at all, but I will judge their application fairly”. A total absurdity.

    We know some characters want to repeal civil rights protections based on sex/race/gender/etc, that’s what the “social issues” trolls in academia seek to accomplish and there’s always seems to be a certain political affiliation. It’s not even like it’s a secret or hard “conspiracy” to figure out.
