From The Toast comments on Hillary’s post on their last day:

Another example of the progressive party being the party of a strong economy. Investments in education pay off substantially by providing a skilled, intelligent labor force, which in turn increases productivity. There is a massive educational gap that will cost us up to $2 trillion in GDP over the course of the next…

The moratorium/refinancing/forgiveness announcement is more exciting, because it is likely to happen. Adding incentives for desired professions like teaching is doubly exciting.

Oh, this is going to be an awesome comments section. The hypocrisy is going to be fucking epic.

Biden also had a role in passing AEDPA in I996, which should tell everyone a great deal. The Intercept called its article on the subject, “Gutting Habeas Corpus.”

Just because this inquiry is over doesn’t mean we can’t spend at least another $29 million dollars on additional ones. An amount I like to call three “9/11 investigations’ worth” of money.

I know you’re leftist as all get out (which I respect) so you’ll probably disagree, but honestly what we’re going to get is basically just Obama 2.0, except her pet cause will be women’s issues instead of racial justice.

Have you ever thought that maybe you’re unemployable because you’re a fucking asshole?

Blame a minority?

I can understand the thinking, but if it’s a staggering amount of money, then it’s pretty unreasonable for the theater to bear the entire cost of it, isn’t it? They didn’t do anything wrong and they’re out nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

But as I read it, it was the cost of defending themselves against the families claim that the theater should have had security.

As the story notes, it is a tactic to keep the plaintiffs from appealing. I see it all the time. The plaintiffs will agree to not appeal, and the claim for fees and costs will be dismissed. And, yeah, you should if you are out 700K for a frivolous claim. I see people all the time bitch about what a sue-happy society…

Actually, the counter-protesters were not, for the most part, anarchists. It’s unfortunate that the press uncritically parrots this. It seems calculated to make them seem weird or violent or fringy. They did a noble thing.

Stop putting his words in his mouth.

hair, dude. hair.

I know y’all get to decide on your own bear coverage, but the most important summer bear news is that Pedals survived the winter and is roaming New Jersey once again. Pedals is the hero we desperately need right now. Look at him! He walks like people, but he’s a bear!

We are so fucked.

“Congratulations! You’ve won a ticket out of Missouri!”

As a naturalized citizen myself, I would like to say that when I attended the formal swearing-in naturalization ceremony (along with about 1,000 other fellow Americans) I was also given one of those tiny American flags depicted in the photo, to wave about at the end.
