Four years at USC with room and board costs close to $300k. The university will be happy to take your $500k and put your name on a plaque somewhere, and maybe give your kid a more serious look, but it’s no guarantee of admission if said kid is an airhead who’s more concerned with her Instgram account than studying.  

You’re incorrect. There are limits and quotas for every year in every school. Even though YOU think they can just “add one more,” that’s not how it works. Stop asserting that this is a victimless crime. It DOES take slots away from people who deserve it, and it perpetuates money-based access to brand name education,…

Isn’t that the lawsuit funded by the race-baiting white guy who’s against affirmative action and also got that dumb white girl from Texas to sue UT even though her grades were subpar?

That’s the real takeaway buried in this story. Basically, corruption like this is OK in the eyes of the judicial system so long as it’s an “honest graft.” Which only happens if someone is ridiculously wealthy enough to buy a new dorm hall or athletic facility for some elite university. That’s how fucking high the deck…

“They can apply and have a good chance at being accepted at Yale, Columbia, Georgetown, Stanford...”

All those other schools are doing the exact same thing. “Who cares?” Tell that to the hundreds/thousands of disadvantaged children who can’t even get a foot in the door because of dumb assholes like Kushner who have Daddy to cover for them. You should care because this is how kleptocracies are formed.

While we’re at it, this is yet another good reason to bust NCAA sports. All of this greed by these so called institutions of higher learning. Institutes of higher profits is more like it.  

When $500k is B league the rest of us normies are well and truly fucked.

That’s the ‘right’ way to bribe your kid into college. Even the guy who did the scam with the celebrities admitted to it

It is because we spent so much time teaching a whole generation that “racism is bad” instead of “doing X, thinking X, institutionalizing X is bad.” So you’ve got a large amount of people who are racist as hell, but get genuinely pissed off when you accuse them of it because they’ve internalized racism as bad, but they…

Seriously. They bring your food to the car. OK...

Culver’s employees bring my food to my table, and if there’s a line at the drive through they bring it to my car. No tipping. I’m pretty sure they just get paid, you know, like a normal fast food wage that’s screwing them over, but not like, sandpaper baseball bat style.

Yep. He toughed out a few episodes at the first of the season, being seen mostly sitting in a chair and never moving.

You buried the lede about The Flash. Joe West is back!

They know what they’re doing is morally repellent and will be rejected by large parts of society and could very well get them in trouble, yet they do it anyway.

If you’re doing school chants in public, you deserve to have someone beat a drum loudly in your face.

One of the things that riles me up most about MAGA chuds like this kid, as well as Trump and other GOP politicians like Steve King, is how constantly commit the most overt hateful racist acts, yet they refuse to own it directly when confronted by others or when it blows up in their face.

Translation:
“We want to protect the giant toddler in the White House from having to answer for his crimes for once in his pathetic, deplorable life because it would drag most of the administration down with it and we’re too busy ensuring that black, brown and LGBTQ+ people don’t have rights anymore to give a fuck…

Impeccable logic. I approve.

I love how they complain about Senator Schumer as though he was the majority leader. If only!
