The new definition defines it as “unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive that it denies a person access to the school’s education program or activity.”

This transcript of a phone call between Trump and Woodward is also bonkers. Trump just keeps insisting over and over than none of the six or seven people Woodward tried to go through to get an interview told him about it. But if you read carefully, he slips up a couple of times and admits he knew about the requests.

Not to mention that he threw Canada under the bus by forming a trade deal with the USA. Before it was Canada-Mexico strong, and let the US fall into ruin quicker until Trump had to beg. Now since the shithead dealt with the other shithead, it’s forced Canada to fall into a trap set by Trump to take any deal he offers.

Just like Trump’s wall.

Kushner’s work. He approached the Jordanian government about cutting all UNRWA support, in lieu of some vague promises of direct compensation. Jordan would agree to stop recognizing their 2 million displaced Palestinians as ‘refugees,’ undercutting their legal claim to lands taken from them or any presumption of a…

My Betsy Devos anecdote: I work in higher ed communications. Normally, getting a meeting and photo op with the Secretary of Education is a guaranteed way to get some good local, regional, and often national press coverage.

“He has even worked the phone with our competitors, injecting stability into bilateral relationships that are undergoing contentious, but necessary readjustments to place American interests first.”

In total fairness, this is something that white people have been winking and nodding to themselves about since before their was a United States of America. If anything, this is the older American Dream: that if you work hard and play by the rules, you will be given the chance to sink or swim on your own merits . . . if…

Some other choice quotes from the video (which is honestly worth watching in its entirety). Apologies in advance for any typos:

Trump lied yesterday. He told the biggest bold-faced lie he has ever told. At his little rally last night, he said Putin did not want him to win.
