@Templarpilled Theyre the same pieces of shit full of pedophiles among the Higher-ups if you think islam is bad well open a history book youll see that Catholicism and Christianity are three times worse.
English
Evangelicals hate Catholics way more than Catholics hate Evangelicals.
You just don't see Catholics make videos destroying Pastor Jim Bob's recent book in a hissy fit.
Makes you think!

@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA You didn't have to block me from replying, coward. Public education is bad because it's wasteful and ineffective. I'm not sure what you mean that they don't vote the way I want. How does a government entity vote? I'm not MAGA or a dipshit dem, weirdo.
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Again, no logic, no moral framework. Just feelings or vibes that something is "unfair". You abdicate all personal responsibility to make the world better because you think the government is some benevolent being that will balance the scales.
English
Competition? I like it. Playing the same game but with different rules? Not so much.
I have no problem with private schools, but I do have a problem with schools taking tax dollars yet not accepting all kids. nonpareilonline.com/video/news/vid…
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA It's ironic that you don't see the indoctrination in government schools but whatever, I'm happy I was able to convince a childless democrat that everyone should pay lower taxes and that people should be responsible for their own kids.
English
@mts0921 @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Why don't you start pushing for childless adults to have waivers for the percent of taxes going to schools then instead of stealing mine for religious indoctrination camps?
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Why do you need mine to fund government schools? The monopoly of government education has failed dramatically. Why are you afraid of competition? 54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level and that's what you want to perpetuate.
English
@mts0921 @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Sure, let's let kids move to private schools. Why do you need MY tax dollars to do it?
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Your entire ethical framework is that life isn't fair and that you trust government to make it fair and therefore my taxes should fund broken systems and unaccountable bureaucrats. Whereas, I think more freedom and more choice is a better solution.
English
@mts0921 @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Again you're talking about a different thing. The fact is that supporting a student sometimes means more money has to go towards the school as a whole so they have resources for other students who might need more help.
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA This is why most people don't bother talking to liberals anymore. You want to fund buildings, not students. You want to fund administrators of programs and not recipients. Normal people like me have to choose between MAGA or insane democrats. Thanks psycho.
English
@mts0921 @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Your logic here seems to be either all money in all programs follow each person or none of them? That doesn't make any sense at all fyi.
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA I'm trying to pin down your logic but there is none so the conversation goes in a circle. You have no core principles and just vote for whatever "feels" fair to you at the moment.
English
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA You refused to address that logically the money follows the student and then accuse me of dodging. That's rich. Do you oppose this program? Or does money only sometimes follow the student or person? The answer is more schools and more choices not feeding a broken system.
English
@mts0921 @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Because that money isn't just for educating that child. Its to support the entire school. It's been pointed out a thousand times now that the problem is private education doesn't need to support every student, they can turn ones with disabilities away. You refuse to address this
English
@ItsThatKyd @Luke_2236 @RobSandIA Schools are funded to educate students. If the student goes to another school, why should his old school keep the money allocated to his/her education? There's other programs that logic applies to that I don't hear you complaining about.
English
@Luke_2236 @RobSandIA I really can't tell if these takes are ignorance or propaganda.

@TheDailyIowan Less than 5% of Iowans make minimum wage and this guy chose one of the few jobs that pays minimum wage and complains about it instead of learning a skill will pay him for. Hope he likes the food bank because with a degree in Creative Writing he'll need it.
English
As Iowa’s minimum wage stays at $7.25, one UI student says the reality feels like “sink or swim” — highlighting how the policy shapes daily life for low-wage workers.

@ProgressDeath @RobSandIA Sorry, I thought you were asking a legitimate question. I didn't realize you were an asshole. My bad.
English
@mts0921 @RobSandIA Oh wow, I’m terrified of the state legislators with endorsements from other state legislators. They can totally beat the U.S. House rep with endorsements from the rest of the statewide incumbents and Gov. Branstad.
English
I am dissatisfied with 65% and will continue to work hard to improve these odds.
VoteHub@VoteHub
In Iowa, we have the gubernatorial race rated as Lean D. Rob Sand has a 65.2% chance of defeating Randy Feenstra. Our projected margin is D +4.0, a 🔴 to 🔵 flip.

@ProgressDeath @RobSandIA There's five candidates and the primary is June 2.

@AngryTyrone12 @travisclones Facts don't matter. He has feelings and vibes.
English
@travisclones Just so you his numbers are inaccurate. Iowa actually had an increase in jobs.
English
If Democrats don’t retake Iowa this cycle, I feel it’s going to decline hard(er) for a generation. Kim pandered to farmers hard (at the expense of everything else) and they’re still struggling. Time to try something new to generate new revenue and economic growth for the state.
Zachary Meunier@zmeunier
Iowa notes: -19k jobs lost in last year (3800 in manufacturing) -Fertilizer and diesel costs through the roof at the start of planting season -Health care closures in Clinton, Ottumwa, Fort Madison, DSM -Democrats overperformed by average of 22 points in 2025 special elections

@937TheTicket Today the college football playoff committee counts wins over ranked teams a little differently. (If you beat a team week 1 who was preseason ranked and fell out of rankings it isn’t counted) Nebraska beat Colorado in 2024 and they ended up going 9-3 and ranked. Ranked win.

@Ollie_XVX It's almost like you're saying government has too much power. Maybe we should reduce government?

Iowa republicans would throw every working class Iowan into poverty before they let corporations or the ruling class lose a single penny
Bleeding Heartland@LauraRBelin
I crashed for a couple of hours and feel refreshed! House Rs approved amendment requiring 2/3 legislative vote to raise income or corporate taxes. (Sales tax cd still be raised by simple majority). Will be on November ballot. Still need to finish work on budget, property taxes.

@TallTailMusic @LoLowlights And shoots from hip so despite her height keeps getting shots blocked by flat footed defenders
English
@LoLowlights Wait, she shoots left handed but when she attempts a layup she shouts right and jumps off her right leg?! So that’s why it looks so awkward, hard to believe a coach hasn’t addressed that. Goofy

Angel Reese was IN HER BAG today. You can tell she’s been working on her game.

@ToadTheFreak @MissingnoMan @IterIntellectus I think he's confusing it with Epicureanism but still not on target.
English
@MissingnoMan @IterIntellectus This is complete nonsense lmfao.
Stoicism has absolutely nothing to do with the removal of consequence and responsibility. In fact it’s the exact polar opposite of that. Maybe actually study the things you attempt to speak about.
English
> spend 20 years studying a philosophy about not letting your emotions control you
> build a career teaching it to other people
> get emotional at a 30 second video of the daughter of the guy you don’t like
best argument against stoicism is its biggest evangelist

@snarkhawk @Ollie_XVX I disagree with Oliver on everything but sharing this is a good thing and I want to thank him for that.
English
@Ollie_XVX How about your fully fund and support law enforcement to keep this from happening in the first place?

There is now a place you can donate to help Miranda, the young woman who remains in serious condition after being shot in the head in the shooting that took place in Iowa City. If you are able, please be generous. Her and her family will need support through recovery. Link below.
