Come to think of it, I did know somebody with a "LGBT Graduate Major"... or more specifically, a guy who was drafted into the Mexican Army after finishing his masters on gender and sexuality studies... and -- for once, an army actually using someone's skill set productively -- had him work on his doctoral dissertation on the sexual habits (including gay relationships) in the military.
BTW, apparently, there never was any ban or specific regulations in the Mexican military. affecting gay soldiers.. just the usual rules about not fraternizing in the barracks (no boinking in the bunks), and not working a second job as a prostitute.
so which is it that we're at war with, foreign students or gay students? I thought we'd moved on to trans people being the bad "guys", I guess not. There's always room for some gay hate.
The New Republic this month did a nice job demolishing Trumpers' fake interest in conflating the People of the Book with their nasty analog party in the State of Israel -- Likkud.
How the hell do the My Freedumbs! idiots square the government literally telling them what to do for the rest of their lives with their precious don't tell me what to do isms?
Justice could only be served by denying access to medical professionals to this hag. UTI? call a plumber. Epilepsy? Those are electric impulses, right?
It used to be "underwater basket weaving" that the right wing bitched about. Now it's "woke ideology" and other hot air pretending to be thoughts coming out of their mouths but ultimately boiling down to "too many people not like me."
With the Court deciding Sir's TACO TARIFFS are illegal and must be repaid within five days we come to the very heart of "Trump Term Two™ : Faltering Towers®" to learn that Sir's Great Accomplishments are already Two in Number: 1) Terrified and Ruined the Lives of Innocent People and 2) Lined Sir's Oversized Pockets. As for the Qatari Jet, looks like it will cost more than twice its original price in "Upgrades" and will not be ready for Sir's use during "Trump Term Two™ : Faltering Towers®" . Nasty!
This is a serious question. Is there anyone that is watching trump and the tariff war that's saying: see what a great man he is, he always has the country's best interest at heart. He looks like a flaming, know-nothing idiot
What might make me maddest is that REPUBLICANS are the reason we lost the educational pathways that got kids ready for the trades. REPUBLICANS and their obsession with “the soft bigotry of low expectations” that led us to the standardized testing regime masquerading as education over the last thirty years. There are some deep historical reasons to be skeptical of industrial ed and home ec, good ones. But it’s Republicans who demanded that we focus on readin-writin-rithmatic to the exclusion of those programs, it’s Republicans who decided that every child must be focused on going to college rather than on learning at developmentally appropriate levels and having art and music and libraries and PE in their lives. Them and their “Why Johnny Can’t Read” sparked a thousand small businesses trying to earn money with programs that try (and fail) to create readers and learners with programmed instruction instead of solid teacher training that includes an understanding of the structures of racism.
And what’s most ridiculous is how that testing and college focus creates kids who devalue the trades, because they’re not college. The trades are just as demanding of critical thinking skills and liberal arts understandings as college, mind you. Which no kid wants to believe, because obviously they’ve been told their whole lives that they must score well on a standardized test to go to college, so that’s the only good goal.
They made the whole thing up so they could blame schools and teachers (uppity wimmen and minorities choosing the career pathways that allowed for autonomy and continuing education with lots of union rules and step and lane that kept them from having to battle for wages with white men) for their decimation of the Unions. They could have focused on making sure to have a highly qualified teaching workforce or on making sure we had fair wages or free access to universities and trade schools. But they never ever want anything that improves wages and working conditions so they blamed teachers and schools and students and parents instead of making a robust workforce with appropriate wages.
Worthless, anti-education right-wingnuts think that throwing slurs against LGBTQ persons are a big hit. Only with the cult maga crowd. Sane people don't care if someone's personal, harmless, lifestyle is different than the Aryan nation model. These loudmouth bigots are having a great time in power now; but they will go down. And be forever remembered as the worst stain of fanatical authoritarianism in the US, the worst regime, the worst fpotus EVER, and traitors against the constitution, civil rights, and human rights. Fpotus can pardon all of them, but they will still remain the worst examples of humanity.

Public education already fails to serve students horribly. Can't imagine it could get much worse, but here we are.
Our economy and our society could also use more folks who know the difference between "less" and "fewer."
Oh, and that smell? White House Nazi Barbie, more that anyone else, knows what that smell is.
Karoline is a proud graduate of Saint Anselm College, near her hometown in nowheresville, New Hamster.
Yeah, me neither.
Did poor Barron von Trump get rejected from certain colleges? Is that what this is about?

Great editorial in USA Today about the cynical attack on Harvard being a dangerous disservice to Jewish people. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2025/05/28/trump-harvard-antisemitism/83875926007/

Why would we need plumbers and electricians when no one can afford a house anymore?
The need "apprentenceshps," Karoline said. She literally does not know what she is talking about.
How the hell do the My Freedumbs! idiots square the government literally telling them what to do for the rest of their lives with their precious don't tell me what to do isms?
but they aren't telling "me" what to do with my life, they're telling other people and that's fine. until it isn't as we've seen.
As long as it's the easy way out, they're all for it.

That one used to irritate me. You gotta soak your reeds, and reconstructive technology is a good thing, not some lol funny joke.
However, back in the day, we'd mash college jokes by saying coed naked underwater basket weaving for teams
What he wants is a glut of construction workers to build his shit castles, that he can then screw.
He only and always thinks of his own needs. Always.
Hence, trade schools.
Uneducated, unwanted children like himself are more likely to vote Republican. It's the party's only hope for a future.

I will never not be angry about this.

Ta, Evan. KKKaroline has nothing to say that I want to listen to, ever. Even women her husband's age aren't that dowdy.
