I still say a large part of the problem is that, despite the "two party system," the two parties are not really very equivalent. On the left you've got everything from radically progressive all the way down to do-nothing establishment types. While the right presents a united front with one singular goal: own the libs. Which just kinda highlights the farcical nature of the system. One party can't get anything done because they can't agree on how much to do, and the other party can't do anything unless it fucks someone else over.

It's ok guys. The school came up with the ideal solution.

Oh dang, what, they actually listened to my had the same idea to just double up Naruto to push through all the filler. This is... like, the third or fourth major batch of filler eps since the war started. And there's still one more to go. The canon stuff has been pretty ok, but... after a while you do start to realize just how long this has been dragging on.

So, tell us again why gas prices are all Biden's fault?

Yeah, I swear I've heard about this exact thing, with this exact map, years ago. Idk. Maybe it was something that didn't make it through before but did now or something. But, my brain could just also be making shit up...

Am I suffering brain damage, or did MD switch from "fuck the police" to kissing their ass in the span of a couple weeks?

Relevant, here's what the guy Trump appointed to lead the Federal Reserve (and Biden re-nominated) has to say about how inflation could come down. The Fed’s proposed solution: bring down wages.

I mean, yeah, the conclusions aren't wrong, even if they're framed misleadingly. Of course the economy is shit, and of course everyone is going to blame the current administration. But you're deluding yourself if you're thinking the GOP would have any better solution to the problem other than "bail out the oil companies."

Cuz Republicans have such a good track record with the economy...

Wait wait wait. There actually a town called OwO? Sorry sorry, inappropes

Eh, not really feeling the feels on this one. This is the culmination of literally everything. Why sad and not a sense of pride and satisfaction?

Drilldos, on the other hand...

Thanks for that. Edited it out.

Corrected

I'll... just chalk this up to fudgable anime time scales, cuz... putting her back together doesn't change how long her brain was without oxygen....

Pooh already covered why police in schools is a dumb bad idea.

I've been mulling over this response from that reporter for a little bit now, and it's delicious how effective it is at shredding so many arguments. "Why only in America?" All the elements exist everywhere else. Everywhere has schools, every school has bullies and creeps and losers. Everywhere has every other excuse, mental health issues, violent video games/media, etc. If "bad guys could still get guns anyway" were a viable argument, why don't they? We oughtta see some correlation in the data from other countries. Is it an admission that "bad guys" are just all around more prevalent in this country? What does that say about us?

This point does raise some valid concerns...

One of the only intros I would watch through near every time I played the game

That's a big oof

Oh good, MD already covered thoughts I was mulling on. Like. Forget looking themselves in the mirror. How does the entire department come back from this embarrassment? Ain't nobody in that district going to be calling the cops for anything for a while. Would expect names and faces to be circulating before long, if they aren't already. Surely they know none of them could make so much as a traffic stop without being spat on at the least. The only honorable thing to do would be shameful resignation en masse. Think I'd also be liking to see their police budget significantly slashed and redirected towards either the schools or a victims fund or both. They clearly aren't using the money for anything useful.

Why give the cops that money when it's the teachers willing to sacrifice themselves to save the kids?

It'd be nice to see, but, the people in charge of making that reform are the same ones that benefit from the system staying broken as is. Relying on a broken system to fix itself is like treating cancer with hopes and prayers. (ok, slightly hyperbolic, bit too doom'n'gloom, there should be means to achieve meaningful change, but I'm not optimistic enough to think it'll happen without lighting a proverbial literal fire under their asses.)

I think the answer to that has historically been "revolution."
