No. The way she ended the sentence with "for president of the Unites States" makes this interpretation impossible according to any reasonable person's understanding of the English language.

He's so braindead he believes Joe Biden can't be "pushed around" when he can barely form a coherent sentence and has to constantly look at his notes to know what to say.

I generally agree that the constitution never intended for a president to have as much power as today. However, this has been true for decades and isn't unique to Republicans/Democrats.

Either way, the CNN headline is absolute lies. They're referring to a tweet where he suggested that it might be better if the election were delayed until mail-in-voting isn't necessary and we can be sure about the validity of the election. He never said that he was going to use his executive authority to delay the election though. That's complete fake news.

But CNN told me their "experts" confirmed that mail-in-voting is complete secure and has 0% chance of fraud.

Yes. If they're stupid enough to believe everything the media tells them, they're never gonna vote for Trump anyway.

The people who believe the lie don't matter. They're already long gone.

Maybe, but I don't think this is a major effect. Harris is not going to campaign on her cop past given how much it aggravates the leftist base. If anything, she's gonna try to distance herself from it and make herself out to be in support of BLM.

Trump is still the Law & Order president, and he's still gonna win over that group. How many people are really gonna think "I was gonna vote for Trump because of the riots, but now that Kamala is Biden's VP and because Kamala was a cop, I'll vote for Biden."

There's also plenty to attack her on in relation to her far-leftist ideas. Kamala is no Doug Jones. In fact, govtracker lists her as the MOST liberal senator in 2019. There are plenty of clips of her flip-flopping on Medicare-for-all, green-new-deal, free-college, border, guns, and almost any issue. Of all of Biden's possible picks, she's probably the most radical.

I bet Joe Biden is among those who are excited after learning who is VP is.

Low-info moderates weren't going to vote for Trump either way. Anyone who goes any further than the headline on NYTimes knows that Kamala is anything but a moderate. She's an uninspiring panderer who goes with the wind on every issue.

Since when is Kamala considered "moderate"? I don't remember that during the debates.

For literally any normal human, "rage" is not a justification to go around attacking, looting, and acting like an animal. Leftists apparently cannot apply this standard to black people.

RACISM OF LOW EXPECTATION!

Calling for the abolishment of property isn't just a "sympathizer". It is essentially the definition of a marxist.

I don't personally like the expanding power of the executive. The constitution probably didn't expect the president to have this much power.

However, I'm not going to accept BS from the democrats when they suddenly begin to care about constitutional authority after Obama's EO's.

algorithmic knowledge is becoming less and less important as computers take over in that area.

The one thing humans have which computers don't is the ability to creatively and intuitively think and CREATE solutions. You can't write a program using brute memorization.

Learning algorithms is only useful nowadays as an example for how other algorithms and solutions can be created. Who needs to memorize the quadratic formula if you can just look it up online in 5 seconds? The only reason learning the quadratic formula could be useful is if you learn the intuition behind it and use that intuition to create your own algorithms and formulas.

Our education system isn't moving toward this direction. It's moving in the complete opposite direction.

I don't think any of our teachers use textbooks anymore. If you think your history education was bad, mine was awful.

Elementary school : Almost nothing. No, really. I don't think I was formerly taught about the civil war until high school.

Middle school "social studies" : global warming (yes, global warming), islam, native Americans, silk road, world religions, Timbuktu. I honestly cannot remember anything else.

In high school, only very basic US government is taught. 95% of kids probably never read the constitution or really know what it says. Most kids can probably only remember at most half the presidents. Unless they took AP US history, most don't know when major events occurred (ex. Civil War ~ early 1860s, WW1 ~ late 1910s, WW2 ~ early 1940s, etc.).

what equipment would you bring to go camping.

Is this precise problem written somewhere in the curriculum? Going through high school, I remember being given a problem exactly like this multiple times.

I also remember history teachers often beginning with a problem relating to some investigation of a school fight (students had to determine who's a good source and stuff).

Now that I think about it, reuse of problems across classes and grade levels was really common.

As a high school student who just graduated near the top of their class, I can confirm this. Math is no longer about reasoning and critical thinking; it's about memorizing algorithms.

"Here are the problems which will be on the test, just with different numbers. Memorize algorithmically how to solve each one."

Students are given lists of formulas without an intuitive explanation for WHY they work. Naturally, the kids at the top of their class are best at "going through the system" and memorizing everything their teachers tell them. In reality, they're clueless without the system telling them precisely what they need to know.

I find these kids completely intolerable. They can't think for themselves and believe all the leftist garbage their history/english teachers tell them.
