In Texas, kindergarten is five to six. Pre-k is four to five and officially optional(technically, so is kindergarten- but there isn't quite as strong a norm of going to Pre-k as there is kindergarten). After that grades count 1-12 in ascending order.

the non-gender-binary-normative young human animals
This is Texas. The teachers may not be particularly based, but the elected officials setting curriculum standards do not believe in 'non-binary', and might think this is some kind of new computer technology, and if I had to guess a majority of the state board of ed would vote in favor of sodomy laws if they thought they could get away with it.

It seems more like a list put together by a committee with a few busybodies each pushing their own favorites and no clear criteria for what to include.
It was set by the Texas state board of education, which is elected in partisan elections with a voter turnout that rounds down to zero.

In America russophiles are a bit more fringey than they are in Europe, because our right traditionally defines itself with strong russophobia, but also the right wing populists get the church attending vote.

John Paul II was elected because he was conservative and seen as a diplomat; the Soviets actually assessed him as being relatively weak on communism at the time of the conclave, and the cardinals wanted a conservative who would just stop tinkering given the disaster of Paul VI.

Oppression olympics, it's all who/whom. Transgender lesbians are entitled to the sexual attraction of real lesbians(and being women, they don't cure this with Antina The Butch and her strap on, but rather with freakouts), because being trans they are more oppressed than lesbians.

The 'voter suppression' narrative does not work on its target audience(which, when sold on GOP racism, is more likely to be sold on policing issues).

It requires a machinist and a drill press. Machinists are always hard up for cash, and they don't tend to like the government very much. And drill presses are the sort of tool that, yeah, not everyone has one in his garage, but plenty of people do- sometimes just to have, and sometimes for actual non-firearms related use.

The Branch davidians could easily have had sarin and the like(and indeed, Aum Shinrikyo had chemical weapons, biological weapons, and might have had nukes).

Diplomats notoriously don't pay their traffic tickets and get away with it, however.

Because democrats are officially opposed to anything resembling normal elections. I don't really know why, I don't believe the MASSIVE FRAUD stories, and they're smart enough to know that they don't disenfranchise anyone.

Can you imagine the courts doing "interest balancing" on whether the government can restrict your speech?
Yes. That's what Europe does, we know what it looks like.

In an American context, the traffickers are clearly 'generic foreigners'. They could be Eastern Euros, they could be middle eastern, they're from a part of the world Americans don't understand and that's what's important. They might code as brown, probably do to most Americans.

Why would the government prefer people who believe in ley lines and the silurian hypothesis focus on roswell coverups instead?
This is not the equivalent of bringing up something jew-related when securesignals is chatting up a cute blonde you fancy. This is the equivalent of walking up to a ranting homeless guy accosting her with theories about the blood drinking shape-shifting lizards putting a chip in his brain and inviting him to the David Duke/Minister Farrakhan conference about whether white and black can and should unite against their common enemy, the Jews.

I don't disagree with you, but 'male cop kills innocent random person' is a much more common story than a woman cop doing the same- of course, most police officers are male, but it does demonstrate that this is not entirely caused by a weakness of her sex.

Some of these people just literally don't know he shot a cop, they're uncritically believing lies from left-rag media sources. For others the 'right to protest' is the 'right to advocate left wing causes' which trumps reactionaries' right to safety. Sort of like how racism was the real public health hazard...

Taken is totally about a threat to white girls by scary foreigners, though.

Again, these guys were not ‘AIPAC influence in US policy’ and ‘inconsistencies in the Epstein flight logs’ guys. They were ‘the CIA is using witchcraft to circumvent constitutional restrictions on domestic spying’ guys. They were Atlantean ley lines in the capital guys. They were Silurian hypothesis guys.
I understand the kook sniping point, except that if so, it didn’t work. The guys that bit already had insane hoe scaring ideas that violated the laws of physics because they were fictional.

I really liked having bigger genitals, chest hair, etc. I thought the first few whiskers were the awesomest thing ever, even though I had to start shaving. I liked the changes in facial structure, too.
I’m willing to admit these weren’t totally equivalent, but secondary sex characteristics were awesome, except for the part where my underwear now fit awkwardly.

Indeed thé crusaders bragged about being unusually non-rapey by the (low)standards of armies at the time. We can probably take this with a grain of salt, but it does indicate sex wasn’t the motive(armies which are motivated by sex slaves tend to brag about how many and how beautiful their captured women are).
Just because you don’t believe in medieval Catholicism doesn’t mean they didn’t.

I would agree that his logic leads there, but he literally didn’t say government issued girlfriends. I suspect this is standard utopian logic.

At the very least thé sentence lengths seem accurate.
I’m reminded of the government crackdowns on anti-nuclear(weapons) protestors. Most of these people had aggravating circumstances just a bit worse than their confreres are willing to admit, but they still got the book thrown at them.

The people going off on aliens were already talking about Atlantis and government witchcraft programs and Bigfoot, that's my point. It’s not converting the antisemites and Epsteiners. It’s converting thé people ranting about Nazi bases in Antarctica and psychic spies.
There is no time when everyone learned classical languages in school- because most people didn't go to school.
