MORE Trump THREATS AGAINST AMERICA Exposed in Shocking Details - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

Michael Popok of Legal AF reports on how close the world was to nuclear war under Trump as revealed in a new book by a top homeland security official, and how that explains criminal motive as to why Trump refused to return national defense information he stole and kept with him after his presidency ended. - 07/10/2023.

1. OMG just lock him up now while he waits for trial

He is a clear and present danger to America. And the rest of the world. How did it ever come to this? I blame the lack of education, that so many Americans lack a basic understanding of our government and history. I hope the US survives long enough to rectify the situation. All the immigrants have to pass a citizenship test that the vast majority of natural borne Americans would fail.

2. You're right, and I was told here the other day that they're not really teaching history anymore

When I was in public high school, 10th grade was a year of World History and 11th grade was American History. In Mary Trump's book she said that there's no national curriculum for teaching history. I'm in New York. I've often wondered what history will make of this bizarre and perilous time in our history - if they teach it al all.

3. Our curriculum was the same.

Social Studies in high school was one of my favorite subjects and it was an easy A or B for the year. All it took was some serious home study and good note taking for when exam time rolled around.

Getting back to the thread, I agree with captainqueeq that many native-born Americans have a woeful lack of knowledge of civics, world geography and U.S. history. Our country has become an embarrassment in the last few decades academically and it is a shame. And I don't blame teachers, I blame the parents.

4. Same here. In New York we have Regents Exams for certain subjects. One of them was World History

And of all the Regents Exams I took, World History was my second highest grade. And there was certainly a lot about WWI and WWII, but then I knew that the nazis were really bad at a much younger age, I figured that everybody knew that. And in 9th grade, the teacher made sure that we knew who our senators were and we learned about the Civil Rights Movement and how George Wallace had managed to stay in office even though he couldn't succeed himself. Do they teach these important parts of our history anymore?

7. Schools that still teach history.

I was a social studies teacher in 2 Catholic School systems in Illinois for 30 years. Not only did we teach American history in 7th and 8th grade, but the students had to pass a federal and state constitution test for graduation. Of course, each constitution had to be read and studied. Thank God for a private school system, one that has more control over its curriculum, and the Great State of Illinois!

8. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois; my hubby and 2 kids grew up downstate.

We all had courses in World history and American history. I distinctly remember taking that federal/state constitution test. My public school was very careful to see that we learned all this history.

9. Spinning the radio dial enroute home

Two separate, obviously RW talk stations playing the "looky what those awful democrats are doing to our holy messiah" immediately followed by the false equivalency "they'll have to lock up Biden too". Nauseating.

10. Trump Supporters: Trump's Acting Crazy So That Our Enemies Don't Know What the Heck He's Gonna Do

But then, our allies don't know what the heck he's gonna do either - funny how that works! That, plus so many other incredible jaw droppers and eye openers in this Meidas Touch video - seems like I definitely chose a good DU video to watch this morning.
