“it gets worse when you are 45 mile from the border where they can enter any dwelling or building at their discretion.”

woah woah woah.

So, they can enter a home?

And at their discretion seems like they have a lot of leeway.

Ya, lets just passively accept shit like this.

He’s going to spend more time lying to his family.

I will be sending you a bill for 39.50 for the time it took me to read your post, formulate a response and then type it out. Please send via paypal.

They shoulda gone whole hog and made the Doctor an elderly short Asian woman.

And yet pay and academic outcomes are better in states with strong teachers unions.

The pink slip stuff has more to do with school budgets than it does with the union. You can thank the chuckle heads in state government for that.

Schools do the pink slip in the summer because they may not have any idea what the budget…

Ya, you meet people like that. One of the court cases in California about public employee unions has 2 teachers, who after like 20 some odd years, decided they don’t need the union any more. But sure took all the benefits of a union for all that time.

The rising cost of college has really nothing to do with paying adjunct profs a decent wage/benies.

Ya but, did any one REALLY mean any of that?

We need national processions of self flagellation

Listen man, I need something to wake up to and get angry about in the morning with my angry juice.(Coffee)

And frankly, getting riled up about black folk wanting to maybe NOT be shot by the police for going about their lives just works for me. Why you wanna take that from me?

Well ya, we all want to leave the planet

Also if I remember correctly, his family fought FOR the union. But what ever. Steve King is an asshole.

We even made a shirt to apologize.

I brought that up. “Steve King is not racist”
ME: “If he is saying things that racists say and he believes things that racists then...”

Staffer: “He is not racist and I’m offended by this preconceived notion you have of him.”

Me: “I’m offended by the racist stuff he says”

All in all. It was fun. Call your congress…

When he brought up Sharia Law, I asked him why King has no problem with the Torah being used as a basis for mediation in Jewish communities. *silence*

As an Iowan, I called Steve King’s office a few months ago. It was after he made some of his random racist remarks. I ended up talking to a staffer and had a lovely 30 minute conversation where I simply asked “Why does Steve King say shit that you would find on white supremacists websites.”

Cue a long and angry…

Lost among all this Russian stuff is reports like this: https://theintercept.com/2017/07/10/jared-kushner-tried-and-failed-to-get-a-half-billion-dollar-bailout-from-qatar/

Which is fucking shocking.

It was much better than the 80s

I lived in London and lived in an area where the police were present and saw them handle many situations involving homeless, drunk fools, and other things.

I was always struck by how calm, friendly but very firm and non-aggressive they were. I don’t know the differences in training but they seemed to be trained very…

I too would like literally a full years pay as a special ed teacher.

I don’t want to kill anyone but I’d maybe whack them with a rolled up newspaper.

Well, part of that reason is that layoffs would hit seniority first. Why pay dudes who have been there years way more if you can lay them off and hire a cheaper worker...
