Recall, however, that the impeachment improved Clinton’s approval ratings. There is enough currently in the public record to justify impeachment proceedings against Trump (we really don’t even need the Mueller report), but it could be politically disastrous for Democrats.

The above chart doesn’t even show his weight gain for American Hustle (2013) followed by loss for movies in subsequent years, and gain again for Vice (2018).

Ha, given kinja’s history, that was not entirely unreasonable to assume.

Because you did not read the whole article.

Based on the proximity of scissors to heads in the trailer I am going to say yes.

That sounds right, but I have no idea how college sports work or what kind of strings get attached to admission. Assuming there’s a contract where the admission is dependent on participation in sports, then I would say yes, even if the kids didn’t read the contract.  

The move away from merit based admission was in large part to keep out Jewish kids: https://www.businessinsider.com/legacy-admissions-originally-created-keep-jewish-students-out-elite-colleges-2013-10

Yeah, I think that the kids who were sports recruits are probably going to be the ones it’s easiest to prove knew about it.  But the ones where test proctors changed answers after, or the one kid whose parents set up a fake test for him to sit for so he wouldn’t know he didn’t earn his score?  I think those will be…

Well, since there isn’t much information out about the individual cases, we can’t be sure if kids did or didn’t know yet, so we’re both just speculating on the possibilities here. If the kids did know, I think you’re right, and I suspect for the athletic recruitment stuff it would be easy to show they did know and…

Oh yeah, I agree that many of the kids probably did know what was going on. I mean, if someone else straight up sat for a test for you, you know you didn’t take that test, however, for kids who apparently had proctors going back afterward and changing the bubbles? Maybe not. I’m not sure how the athletic recruitment…

The case of a stolen good is a little too simple to be an effective comparison here. Parts of the application were incorrect, but I think to void the contract (absent proof of bad faith or fraud on the part of a child, as you identified) you would have to show that whatever aspects of the application were incorrect…

If the kids didn’t know (which many might have — this is an open question) there wouldn’t be bad faith or fraud on their part. Without proof that either party to the contract entered into it in bad faith or defrauded the other party (and the parents aren’t a party here), it’s going to be a little harder to void.…

I’m not sure it’s going to be quite that easy. The bad acts were perpetrated by the parents (unless it can be proved that the kids lied on their applications), but the schools extend an offer and are in contract with the kids. Also, in many cases, the schools should have known what was going on here. I could see them…

Whether or not they deserved to get in, if they completed the credits, they completed the credits (unless their parents paid someone else to sit for the school exams for them too).  Additionally, many of the schools probably should have noticed that a bunch of athletic recruits weren’t showing up to practice. They…

I really don’t understand why we’re still hedging so hard on this.  The cops have the check he paid the brothers with.  This is not the hill anyone should be dying on.

It is worth noting, however, that the services have been responsive to congressional scrutiny on the matter, at least in recent years. Now, there are very stringent reporting requirements on all commanders and leadership who are told of a sexual assault. Of course, at lower levels, commanders or other leadership might…
