Why don’t you assume an institution should try to be perfect? They have a responsibility to their constituents to do the best job they can for the least cost. Anything else should be criminal. The level of “job” you think they should actually do, well that’s a matter for debate. But whether you think they should do…

Everyone making $5million will leave.

You are suggesting that someone making 5 million a year take home $500,000? Yeah, that’s crazy talk. Dial it back there, Marx

This is a bad take. Taking more money from the wealthy and giving it to the government isn’t going to make jobs pay more, make education cheaper, or make houses more affordable. (It also doesn’t work the other way... cutting taxes on the rich won’t increase wages either).

The problem is that so few Americans are versed in economics that the lie of trickle down policy seems every bit as plausible as reasonable tax policy to the average American. As I age, I’m finding it harder and harder to believe that the lust to cut education isn’t the ground floor plan to keeping the rich rich and…

Well, since nobody else is going to do it..

There’s only one piece of advice that people should offer at commencement addresses: Everybody is an idiot.

No, I get that, but he also provided context. He said that evidence collected over the years indicates that hits to the boards are not an accurate predictor of concussion risk. That’s a claim that may or may not be true- but going after his comments as being unbelievably stupid means that you not only think that the…

Dude has a great story. From sleeping in classrooms, to being raised by his grandma where at times he had no bed. All the best to him.

“Had he gone to one of my bogus charter schools, he would have learned civility, politeness, and how to make Gucci purse knock-offs in a basement sweatshop for my benefit.”

There’s nothing that can be done to fix things. This is a war that’s been waging, quietly or publicly at various times, throughout the region for over a thousand years. The US military stepped in shit and is just spreading it around. Anyone familiar with the state of affairs over there is fully aware of how…

The Syrians were f*cked ito getting any of their vital equipment out of that airbase without it being destroyed. The Tomahawk can change direction at any time & with our military monitoring that air base up until the missiles struck, anything under surveillance that would have been moved beforehand would have just…

I prefer “spanking” to “peacocking.” Despite Trump’s undeniable narcissism, I don’t think the ultimate purpose of this was to feed his ego (if it were, there would be a LOT more leaks about it by now - too many adults have to be involved in a strike like this for an overgrown man-child to simply throw a tantrum.)

The problem with targeting air defense systems is that there are a lot of Russian ones in Syria, which would be a whole different can of worms.

It might have been nearly useless, but not nearly as useless as Obama’s red line.

Yeah, what the fuck? These people here at Giz Media will say anything so long as it is against trump.

Play stupid games [chemical attacks on civilians] win stupid prizes [getting your Ba’athist planes destroyed]

The value of this attack will also be debated for some time. Targeting one airfield in Syria will not make that much of a difference.

Seriously. All that buildup and hype for the breaking story of “rich guy finds loopholes in American tax system.” YOU DON’T SAY?

Irresponsible journalism. Maddow dithered for 20 minutes about nothing, and then the big reveal was 2 pages with no sources of income. Trump should absolutely release his full returns, but don’t pretend like what she had was anything worthwhile.
