We have a yuge entitlement problem in education right now. NCLB and charters ruined functioning schools in areas of poverty, and widened gap of service. Public schools pulled their weight, even with massive cuts in funding, but the vilification of schools in poverty areas has done irreparable damage.

This picture. Just...*sigh*

I’ve been thinking about this since I initially posted and I wonder how Donald treats Barron and if that might not be some of the source of her apparent animus towards him. From the little bit I’ve seen, she does seem to be a loving mother. If Donald treats him poorly...

THANK YOU! Why the hell doesn’t he just wear a tie pin or a tie clip?

Exhibit I- Trump referred to Melania as “something” & “that” (not “her” or “my wife” or “I acknowledge that Melanie is a sentient human being”:

Seeing both couples so much in the past few days has driven something home: There is much joy in the Obamas; there is very little in the Trumps.

Yes. Also, Michelle is allowed to have more emotions than just love for Barack (although obviously important). She’s allowed to poke at him, mock his dancing, display displeasure, and basically, be a fucking human being. All Melania’s allowed to do is say how amazing her husband is, how the media hates them, and wear…

If there was any justice in this world, it would have been Trump’s tax returns in that box.

“the deal was reached a week ago, but has been kept ‘a big secret’ because Michele’s camp feared the seven days of criticism that would surely lead up the divisive President-elect’s big day.”

These four years are going to be looooooong.

Saturday morning, Trump tweeted that Lewis is “all talk” and “no action”—...

I feel like I’m wearing a tin-foil hat here, but here goes: something in the meeting is leading the dems to think Comey himself is compromised at this point.

while this would have a certain amount of poetic justice, there’s a decent chance that his chattiness about Clinton’s emails and his silence on Trump’s dossier were motivated by a desire to influence the election, which is extremely illegal. And if that were the case, there would be intent, therefore I would want…

Debunked in the sense of “not debunked, and now receiving multiple 3rd party support from various global intelligence agencies”?

yes

I don’t find the Clinton example ironic. I think it is correct. And, if Kushner had any relevant experience or expertise, I would not have a problem with this. The issue is not nepotism so much as lack of qualifications. He is as unqualified as a number of Trump appointees- is Bannon more acceptable because he is a…

I don’t think he buys what he’s selling. “They’re running out of dresses” is such a simple-minded, naive fabrication that it’s almost charming, but no I honestly believe this is KILLING Donald. He pulled the mother of all cons to win King Of The World, and no one will come to his party, because no one loves him. This…

If you’re not looking back, may I suggest you look forward? Get involved on the local level, run for city council or school board, or get involved in the campaign of someone who you respect on the local level. If you feel voting is unproductive, there are other ways to be involved and make a difference in politics.
