Really? Cutting some funding for the Special Olympics that can be made up in other ways anyway is the lowest you can go in the United States?

I thought purposefully fricking up our healthcare system and causing premiums to more than quadruple while forcing people to change doctors while telling people they can keep their doctor and their premiums won't rise was pretty low.

Weaponizing the IRS against specific opposing political groups. Pretty low.

Creating a fake gang rape narrative against a man with a clean record responsible for more female involvement in the Supreme Court than any other judge? Pretty low.

Weaponizing the intellegence agency against a political opponent you don't agree with? Pretty low.

Telling the entire world they have to accept the results of the election or it will tear at the foundation of our country and then refusing to accept the results and spending two years and 50 million dollars trying your hardest to undermine those results with absolutely no evidence of anything? Pretty low.

Winning the Nobel Peace Prize and then becoming the only president in United States history to be constantly at war for 8 straight years and set record numbers of unreported drone and missle strikes killing civilians as well as military targets? Pretty low.

Should I go on?

Good. Special olympics should be privately funded.

So let me get this straight.... It’s ok to kill a baby in the third trimester because he could have downs syndrome, but you are mad because there were cuts in the special olympics???

Remember when the mean old Republicans "tried to kill Sesame Street" by cutting PBS funding...

...and then HBO stepped in, not only making sure the popular show continued but doubled the number of episodes produced per year?

Ain't capitalism the worst?

Even lower than raising healthcare costs for special needs kids, higher deductibles, losing doctors, raising the cost of medication and medical devices, all of which were done through Obamacare?

Sweet Daddy, I can tell you how to make a contribution to the Special Olympics if you like. It’s a worthy cause and one you are free to contribute to at any time.

You'll get down voted for it here but not a fan of it either. One thing I'm perfectly okay with my tax dollars going to is to help kids with special needs have an event for them to feel good.

Remove the funding for Private jets for Ocasio Cortez. Keep it for people with special needs and kids to have a good moment in their hard lives.

Secretary Devos is very underrated for her contributions to this administration. 



As a teacher I think she is meh. Let me know when the Special Education students (that are pretty much untouchable) become held accountable for their behavior. As of now...10 days out of school is the MAX. After that...they are pretty much untouchable. Do you want to shite in your hands and clap...have at it, you are untouchable (literally?). Do you want to inform the young lady 7 years younger than you that her freshman arse hasn't seen a 9 inch penis...done (mind you, with NO repercussions). Do you want to punch your teacher in the mouth because they told you to stop harassing the other kids...no worries, you are UNTOUCHABLE!

I don't need or want a raise. I want to be able to effectively teach without an a-hole dicking shite up.

Handle some business Betsy and get back to me.

Rant over.

Why would the special olympics need millions of dollars of taxpayer money?

How about read more into the story before stating your fandom or lack thereof? Should the Dept. of Education even be involved with Special Olympics in the first place, much less funding it? As usual, the issue is far more complicated than the usual sky scream.
