Joe Ferguson forever

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-adviser-fired-apprentice-n-205255213.html Read it and weep

Here's the thing: If he wasn't quoting someone else, all reasonably minded people would condemn it. When trump says it, the MAGAs rejoice.

I'm happy you finally see the distinction between anti Israel and anti Jew. Well, you sorta do.

he doesn't seem to have the right number of chromosomes. something bad wrong with this weirdo.

this is referred to as "hanging crepe" http://www.rimed.org/medhealthri/2010-07/2010-07-194.pdf

"After all the testimony in Trump's hush money case, the effect on the public has been zero. Voters simply just don't care that much. They are far more tuned into news about inflation, immigration, etc. than Trump's trials." you've softened his words considerably. "seem" is not included. a single poll does not prove zero effect. His statement is a huge overreach.

I definitely will. working out ok. "don't leave fish to find fish" - wisdom from a fellow fisherman. what matters is what happens in Nov. A conviction will very likely hurt him with independents and centrists then.

i don't know why they don't just overtly state that they are racist....oh, wait

unfortunately, this revelation makes him even more likable to his deplorable cult.

uh huh https://www.mediaite.com/trump/just-in-former-apprentice-producer-claims-trump-said-would-america-buy-a-n-winning-and-its-on-tape/ Evokes memories of Hitler's treatment of Jesse Owens at the olympics

He's no Tim Russert. And I think when all is said and done in this trial, he'll be proven wrong. No one will ever change the minds of the hardcore, bottom 35% including the cult members here. But there will be erosion on the edge if he's convicted, imo. we'll see...his conclusion was premature. The end of al testimony is not the end of the case.

No. You were linking a post by some joe shmoe called Harry Enten. I heard he may actually be the same person as CatCrap...

we get it. Do you think he drives a tuned Hyundai elantra N or honda civic? Why is this important? Oh, I see. It's an insider term for the far right. Like we needed more evidence that wacka is in that group: \ The term has largely taken the place of the word “****”, which has for a while been the insult of choice of many far right people - it’s short for “*******” and is used to imply that a man’s wife or girlfriend is cheating on him with a more masculine male. For the men who use terms like **** and soy boy, being called anything related to femininity is the ultimate insult.

I'm a voter. I care a great deal. So do es literally every voter I know. Why do MAGA's need to lie so much? This is like the 7 stages of grief for you fools. We're nearly done with denial....

Agree. There's a balance. Too many opportunities equates to more washouts (and defaulted loans). And standardized tests are no guarantee of success. About 10% of my med school class washed out before the start of year two. All had very good metrics. Most couldn't take or didn't like the pressure cooker we were in. Better to find out sooner than later. Surgery programs weed out as a matter of policy by using pyramid programs where some don't finish by design. Competition usually works well... But I was heartened by the kids at the ceremony. Most seemed serious and thoughtful in ways that didn't seem common in the recent past. They seem to realize that it is going to take a major effort to succeed. Some of the scholarship applications were amazing. We need kids like this to lead and produce.

and be realistic, both parents and kids. professional school is likely not in the cards if you score 400 on the SAT's. Acting school is not a good idea if you only ever got supporting roles in high school productions. paper hanging is not a good path if you only have one arm....it's not rocket surgery. In some European countries, the die is cast by high stakes exams during high school. harsh but realistic...

tell us! you're a lawyer. I've been told you guys never ask a question that you don't already know the answer to...

the trades have been a good choice for decades. no argument. but they are outliers re earnings https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2023/data-on-display/education-pays.htm

"every" is rarely correct. I didn't say it was working as I outlined, only that it's a good strategy that I saw in action in friends families and yes, at the awards ceremony during which almost 50 scholarships were awarded by mostly civic groups or individual memorials. There is no doubt, that overall, education level is directly proportional to lifetime earnings. Of course there are outliers and the trades are an example. you seem surprised that there are winners and losers among higher ed students. why? it's the same in the workplace. it's the same everywhere. some data on earnings vs education level.

which no one ever said. some schools have open admissions. anyone with 5 brain cells knows these are not desirable schools. I gave a scholarship at our local high school awards day recently. Overwhelmingly, the kids were planning solid bet careers with degrees from the best schools they could gain admission to or using the community college strategy. The kids who figure this out will do well. The clueless will remain so. but yeah, many kids are wasting money on college. this is relatively inexpensive experimentation for the academically marginal. For the top deciles, it's nearly a sure bet.

It's not either/or. Send your kid to 2 years at community college. Get all A's. Transfer and graduate from a top instate school. Employers see where your degree is from and you or your kid have little debt, a better , more functional mind and significantly improved earning potential in most cases. Re covid lock downs, China had the most draconian population health restrictions. Their economy suffered as a result. Do you really believe their economic and health advisors did this without modeling of outcomes with and without restrictions? Millions died worldwide but no big deal to the empty headed MAGAs....

what are your estimates based on? law is not a subject taught in an anesthesiology residency. Maybe you, in reality, went to law school or perhaps you're a JD/MD. or maybe you're neither. LOL

based on what? you're pulling numbers out of your a$$. you live in make believe land.

I read quotes from the defense summation...questioned the existence of an "affair" with Daniels. Attacked her and of course, Cohen. Seemed weak, implausible and ineffective but just from snippets.
