I will never understand how smart individuals such as Dr. Schadlow (BA Cornell; Ph.D Hopkins) continue to debase themselves for Donald Trump.

White people don't have race. White is natural.
Only non-white people have race.

Write one weak paragraph. Then, revise that into a strong paragraph.

MInutemen, "Take our Test," (1985)

your heart and mind conspiring
close your eyes
open them take our test

It's approriate that they include clips of James McGill (a.k.a. Saul Goodman) and Walter White, two of the biggest degenerates I have come across in a program over my adult life. They should have thrown in the Gang From "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" while they were at it.

He never graduated from college but he did run the plumbing business he inherited from his dad. Surely, that qualifies him, correct?

The guy literally ran a plumbing business he inherited from his dad, never graduated college.
Now, he's going to be in charge of DHS.

State reps are sooooooo cheap to buy, as I learned when I ran for the PA statehouse in 2016.
