Also, Trump was a total asshole when he spoke to the reporters’ kids. The clip is on CNN.com. He called them “products of the media” and said “I like you better than your parents.” Then he asked the kids how often they thought their parents reported the truth and when some kids stood up for their parents and said,…

I remember that.  

Using Twitter or being a twit?

Just a teensy tiny bit of golf, but nothing like Obama!

Sometimes he uses Twitter like a REAL boss.

Why aren’t leggings and yoga pants out?Why not disallow wet hair if bonnets and caps aren’t allowed?  Why not disallow flip flops or exercise clothing?

This really pisses me off. It’s bad enough so many schools are going to uniforms, which limit expression and force staff into the role of prison wardens (no hoodies, shirt tucked in, where’s your belt, skirt’s too short). Not to mention uniforms do nothing to hide income disparity because cleanliness, shoes,…

What’s TL DR mean?

You have to be highly qualified in your field and that can mean a masters.   

Where are your facts to support the idea that “white folks and others from more privileged backgrounds” are the ones taking out the bulk of student loans? Don’t you think the people from more “privileged backgrounds” have other ways to pay for college besides loans? What do you consider privilege? Deciding to get a…

I had the same experience. It’s how I wound up getting a Master’s Degree that required student teaching - that’s where you can’t work for a semester because you have to PAY to work as a student teacher (think medical internship). I finished my degree but everybody wanted experience, so I wound up working for…

I’ve got massive student loans from getting my teaching licenses. I didn’t even go to a “fancy” college. I worked all the way through college, but there is essentially no aid and very few scholarships offered for grad school. I do not want anyone else to have the debt I have, especially not my daughter.  More jobs…

Now she’s homeless (unless she has family to stay with), unemployed, no insurance (she just lost her job), and has stage 4 cancer. I hope she has some help from family, because any one of those things would be horrible, but all of them together are so overwhelming. I hope she’s able to get treatment. Not to mention…

My mother-in-law was a social worker and always said it depended on the judges and the county.  

I think what sets her apart is that she’s saying how she is going to pay for what she wants to do.  Beto only vaguely talks about others’ ideas, but not how he’ll pay for them.  Buttigieg is waiting to talk policy, which makes sense given it’s a weaker area for him.  Bernie hasn’t been big on how he’ll pay for it…

Thank you for the links! I had no idea he was working with those incredible designers. THIS is the kind of information I would like to have. Also, Obama’s sunrise logo is iconic.  His Hope poster was iconic.  Marketing isn’t a joke and candidates should take it seriously.  Look at Trump.

My husband is the artist, but I like it.  Sticking with Pete and leaving off Buttigieg is smart.

Thank you for saying this so well. We do not need a repeat of 2016 where Bernie and Hillary fans and the media vilified both candidates. There is too much at stake. Yes, analyze each candidate’s past and current decisions, but keep in mind the stakes of the day. There is a very real chance of four more years of…

I don’t know if this is a “hit piece” but it’s definitely negative. I like Warren’s focus on policies, but that’s her strength and she knows it. Beto and Buttigieg don’t have large-scale policy experience, so it makes sense to me that they’re not putting forward tons of specifics early. Buttigieg has an uphill…

Your in-laws sound brutal. Somebody bakes me a homemade cake and I’m happy because SOMEBODY BAKED ME A HOMEMADE CAKE.
