The spitting anger in his voice when he lost it over Democrats not standing up and applauding him: "THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY" is recognizable to every woman who was about to be hit, and I'm afraid, to a few abused children who experienced the real DT spitting anger at them.

i say this as both a professor of first generation students and elite students, there was very little difference in their level of (un)preparedness. But there was a huge gap in what they had been exposed to, and thus aspired to.

personal item. As a first generation undergraduate and then PhD I had no idea one could be an art restorer. I want to be an art restorer working in the basements of museums. That is more important, I think, then the other educational disadvantages.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Trump on Kathryn Burgum: "I saw them riding horses in a video. And I said, 'Who is that?' I was talking about her, not him. I said, 'I'm gonna hire her,' because anybody that has somebody like you to be with, it's an amazing tribute."

oooh i feel this. i was a professor turned campus president and the number of meetings i had with staff saying, "everybody feels this way" (whatever their middling complaint was). OK, then bring everybody here in with you. (And I am extremely compassionate! It just.....got old.)

OK, so MSM is still Trump-washing. Why are the headlines not "President Trump Has Ridiculous Meandering Presser That Proves He Must Be Removed From Office"?

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Time to post the amount of $ spent on holiday presents that you no longer know for whom they were bought. $$ only; no names of presents, because Uncle Kevin may still believe you bought the cat massager for him. I'll start: $79.80. Approximately.
