I think he said, sheepishly, that his line was “the law”, directly contradicting his earlier assessment that Trump, as president, is above conflict of interest laws (a lie). I hate this dude, and I’m enjoying seeing him squirm and flail at the precise opposite job he thought he would have.

My question; why the hell would she go to a public school (has she ever even set foot in one?) in D.C., of all places, where Trump got slaughtered? This is a rude awakening for a very oblivious person.

I’m not sure I’m following your grammar here but if you’re saying that averages of polls are meaningless I believe you’re out of step with how modern polling is done; specifically, several polls are weighted and averaged to find a most predictive aggregate, no?

Did everyone see this teacher school his ass? “Where’s your line in the sand?”

There’s a REALLY limited utility to what a poll of a couple thousand people can actually say about hundreds of millions.

Unfortunately, with anti-education DeVos running education, I think that’s their whole aim.

So what are we supposed to do; coddle them, and lie to them, and pretend that this isn’t their monumental fuck up? You want us to pretend that Trump isn’t a joke at best? It’s not the job of smart and truthful people to protect them from the facts of their own shittiness and stupidity. I’d argue that this is how we…

This is the truly scary part. Trump can be gotten rid of (if he doesn’t blow himself out of the water first) but these tens of millions of alarmingly stupid assholes are not going anywhere. Decades of church and propaganda and talk radio have made them proud of being ignorant and mean- how do you reverse that?

So how do you see the Supreme Court ruling differently on the intent (clearly a Muslim Ban), the lack of evidence for damage to the state (they didn’t present any evidence supporting their claim), or this;

Wow, reason prevails. Kudos to the Washington State AG and the great work they put into this case.

This ruling is a blow to the prospect of either of those courts ruling in the administration’s favor. It basically stated that their argument that the order was unreviewable was dumb, and they are dumb, and they should feel bad about it. May god have mercy on their souls, they are awarded zero points.

Very cool. Can they do this with amaranth? It’s also extremely nutritious and it has the potential to be grown in marginal agricultural regions, with very little technology and chemical inputs required. It shouldn’t be a “specialty” grain just for people with dietary restrictions (or whatever “gluten intolerance” is).

Ah, thanks for the visual buddy!

That’s with the threatened rule change, but as of now, he needs 60 votes.

Oh damn. Nice catch! “Let them eat cake”, right?

I’m hoping it’s the former, which is plausible because the site crashed recently when Trump promoted L.L. Bean on twitter (after one of their owners contributed to his campaign) in a similarly questionable breach of ethics rules. Apparently they got 4 years worth of traffic in a matter of hours over that, so maybe the…

He doesn’t have to when this jagoff is the one who’d have to pull the trigger:

There’s a point at which incompetence bleeds into malice, and I personally believe that Snyder is way past that point. Look at Flint, look at Detroit public schools, look at Right To Work; there’s a pattern here that goes beyond neglect. He’s a racist.

I believe that ranking is weighted against the proportion of black residents, and La just happens to have a smaller percentage than other states with the same shitty fraction of female and black judges.

Louisiana ranks 23rd and 24th in the nation for black and female representation on the bench. Even if you look at Jefferson county in neighboring Alabama, which has recently elected 9 black female judges, you can see that this is a particularly entrenched problem in the state, and that it does not have to be this way.
