As a public school teacher, every year I have to go through an “ethics training” which includes things like “you cannot accept any gift of $50 or more”. It also explicitly states that if a parent offered to sell you something like World Series tickets for face value, this is also not allowed, as the actual value of it…

Perhaps, but you seem to be missing the point.

Uh, what? Have you read ANYTHING about this?

The US policy on separating children from their families is far more offensive than the use of a bad word. Just like the fact that African-American players live in a country where they feel they need to kneel is far more offensive than the fact that they’re kneeling.

I just want to get her husband’s take on all this.

I miss the days when hearing “Merry Christmas” didn’t make me think, “Is this person a Nazi?”

It’s a law in my state that we say the Pledge to start the school day. This week, the secretary who has the task of saying it screwed up and said, “One Nation, Underground”. I think we should make it permanent.

I didn’t have sex with him. Can I get $130,000?

How dare someone insult a woman for CHOOSING to continuously lie and support a regime trying to destroy the environment and make life hell for anyone not white or rich.

I think Mattis is at least a somewhat moderating force. He seems to get that nuclear war with N Korea would be bad, and that we actually need a State Department.
