Lara Trump, Katie Miller, RFK, the Trumpy boys, etc.

All while CBS and other organizations are being taken over by Trump’s stooges.

They want to be the media.






I agree that artistic license was taken to make him look more human than he otherwise presents.


He did what he always does. Fuck things up and hope someone comes in, like his sad father, to put things back together for him.

He bombed them and they come out on top. I’m tired of fucking winning.


And then there is the sad nude pictures she peddles using her tiny bit of fame…


Is that the same level one that my 4 year old is currently doing?

Like, can’t be.


After a few minutes of seeing her comics most people find them to be fairly obvious and boring. On Reddit the account became something of a nuisance as well. Not certain of her relationship with r/comics, but her stuff was wildly over-promoted.

She also managed to raise the ire of several users when she sent legal threats to some of the subs that were designed around parody of similar art forms (bone hurting juice).



I’m not a Venezuelan apologist by any means

That’s where the discourse often gets stupid.

“Oh, so you support such and such then?”

No, big brain, we just shouldn’t be doing the shit we are doing.



Sorry, but I have memorized 27 precepts.





Ok, but in this case you are incorrect. The whole “spending money poorly” thing doesn’t match up to the financial reality of most schools, in particular the many small ones. I’ve spent a good portion of my career in higher ed (among other things) administering my own paltry budget.

And your poor experiences aside, I promise you that what you are describing would work in any program I’ve administered unless the 7th grader was already capable of college level work. You just make it sound like you went to a rather low quality school.

Go back to pre-Regan days. The state paid for around 90% or so (depending) on the coat of education.

By the 2000s or so that number dropped to a paltry amount (something more like 15%).

My parents’ generation could go to a state school and pay off their entire bill for a year doing a few weeks of summer work. Now people rack up years worth of debt.

The financial reality is educating people is expensive. Just hiring enough competent professors and staff for a small university is potentially a rather significant number of millions annually. We need to go back to funding it socially rather than putting the burden on the individual.
