I wanted to post this in the Root, where it belongs, but I got error messages 11 times in a row.

Me: The prison-industrial complex must be destroyed, there is no just incarceration

my father in law was an undergrad at penn at the time trump was at wharton. he often points out that, despite its current status as the most elite of the elite, at that point wharton was “pretty much the arizona state of the ivy leagues.” 

Maybe Parseltongue is DT’s first language which would explain why he’s so bad at speaking English.

The same type of insecurity that compels Trump to claim or suggest that he graduated at the top of his class. He didn’t even graduate with honors or make dean’s list.  I’m willing to bet his father also had to buy his way into Fordham as well.  

I believe his Christian name is Fuckface von Clownstick.

Where’s Snowden when you really need him?

Cornell (my Alma mater) graduates over 3,000 bachelor’s students a year. In my recollection, many of them were pretty fucking dumb. Way dumber than me and my guidance counselor thought it was a miracle I was accepted. But then, I'm from a solidly middle class family of no particular reknown...*shrug*

I read somewhere that one sign of a pathological liar is that they continue to lie about matters of no consequence. (See also: Elizabeth Holmes’ insistence that she could recite large passages of Jane Austen from memory)

I say we give him a chance. That's all the poor guy needs, for everyone to just give him a chance.

You can also be brilliant and struggle with school because you have a learning disability. Or you can always revert back to ye auld Einstein defense and say you were bored because you were sooOOOooooOOO smart.

though I think Kelly is a piece of shit, it will be with interest that I compare the big picture of reaction to his hysterical and angry defensive posturing to the reaction that Kavanaugh’s received. Kavanaugh got A LOT of the “of course he is emotional (not the unhinged, angry, entitled man you think you see),…

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point last night. While grades are protected, graduating with honors is not. Trump did not graduate with honors from Wharton, putting him in at least the bottom half of his graduating class, whereas Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law.

Room of Requirement would be better, because right now I need to see those transcripts.

My brother is one of the smartest people I know, and he had terrible grades in high school, and flunked out of college, because he didn’t give one shit about any of it. But he would be the first person to tell you he was a terrible student. He would tell you that he barely graduated from high school his grades were so…

I’m starting to think Trump is a bit of a moron.

Reminder that one of his former teachers at the University of Pennsylvania frequently referred to him as “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”.

What level of insecurity must you be feeling on a daily basis to not only criticize a Columbia/Harvard graduate for not releasing their high school transcripts, but to then bury your own?

Well, if the marks in the transcripts were anywhere near decent, he’d be plastering them everywhere.

People severely underestimate how dumb the average person becomes once they get online and read something that upsets them.
