      Being ridiculous is the point - to denigrate our institutions with frivolity and poor leadership.

        To the point to which we equate all politicians with this type of behavior, and just throw up our hands in disgust.

          The arc of history sometimes bends imperceptibly towards justice, and at such times it is our lot to bend it ourselves.

        That, and they are adequately representing the portion of the electorate that thinks InfoWars is reliable news

      Now I disagree with the ridiculous arguments they have been making in favor of this, but I think whole milk should be offered as an option to school kids. There are increasingly more studies that show the fear of fats in food is unjustified (not to mention that manufacturers’ solution was to replace fat with sugar in their products).

    Republicans went on to imply that other forms of milk like almond milk, soy milk, etc were communist beverage

    Ohhhhh of course he did. 🙄

    We love forced impregnation to steal a baby’s milk here in MURICA!

      I remember seeing a comic recently in which it talked about the children that screamed about how “they didn’t have to learn this topic or that topic”…and now these same types are doing their “research” on the net and so on, generally making total asses of themselves.

    LOL, they are just unhinged. There are still so many people falling for that dairy council nonsense, I guess.

    I think the hubbub the media is generating around this event is really fucking stupid and mean-spirited. The woman was simply using some relatively mild, light-hearted rhetoric to make her argument for why whole milk should be included in public school cafeterias, and people are treating it like she believes Santa is real. This is shameful reporting.

      Well, it looks like they were just co-opted by ridiculous dairy council propaganda about the “health” of milk.

      It’s also interesting that white supremacists made a big deal of drinking dairy, as well as talking a lot about “soy boys”.
