Literally the first thing I thought of when I heard Barr (Bar?) was I wonder how fast someone is going to use the “no malicious intent/I didn’t know” defense. This is what we have now become.

College admissions. It’s a swamp, don’t you know!

“Russia’s social media efforts will continue to focus on aggravating social and racial tensions, undermining trust in authorities and criticizing perceived anti-Russia politicians,” the report noted. It also predicted that “Moscow may employ additional influence tool kits — such as spreading disinformation,…

Just when you thought this story gave all it could give then comes the preshow!

I was laughing my ass off the entire time but when I saw that I officially lost my mind!

Also, let’s not forget that reportedly THIS (Trump National Golf Club in Philadelphia) is in one of those “distressed” zones and is therefore eligible to reap the rewards:

All of this confuses the shit out of me. If any of this is true (and given the DNA evidence. . .) people need to see and get very familiar with the underside of a jail.

I must say that I am heartened to see people on this site raising objections to what she is saying. I am also glad to see that they are raising objections while using phrases (or at least the concepts) like “executive overreach” and “congressional authority” and “judicial oversight” and “not pragmatic.” It is a breath…

A most horrible death!

that the current members of the sc granted cert. to these cases does not give me great hope. only time will tell.

It might happen but from what I know about the american people and some of their leaders it does not give me the greatest amount of hope for this proposal. They are the original crabs in a barrel. 

I 1000% agree with you. But much of Trump’s base can’t understand the importance of higher education or the fordist (rapidly becoming post-fordist) nature of our economy. What they do understand is that something is being “taken from them” or not being “given to them.” That is all the framing that this will need for…

True, much of the money will be going to white kids. That said, I do believe that the “class divide” will take care of that. They might be white but by dint of them going to college they are considered “elite” by a good portion of trump’s base. Republicans will ride that for as long and as hard as they can. 

While I would LOVE to have my student loan debt erased, this proposal will be strangled in its crib. Hell, it’ll be aborted even before it’s born. Ironically, I predict that the stiffest opposition will be from the broad swath of the American people who truck in the politics of resentment, especially those non-college…

That bird video made me irrationally happy!

Sound reasoning. This is what you can achieve if you are not trying to burn shit to the ground at every conceivable turn.

I think the evidence is in and backs up your hypothesis 100%!

Some Christian she is.

That is one of the cutest British Shorthairs I have ever seen. ME WANT!
