Quite the Hitleresque choice.

Russia is dicking with the UN at every level. Delaying North Korea sanctions, moving vast weapons systems closer to Europe, pushing the EU to effectively declare that it is engaged in a propaganda war. Meanwhile, Pakistan and India are getting increasingly closer to something truly ugly.

Please nobody mention these things to Donald Trump. Especially not while he's tweeting.

Huh?

you have terrible KKKdar

If you wanted to punish trump, electing him president is a pretty good start. I imagine that threw a wrench into a lot of his plans.

I'm a little foggy on what a sitting president can do in the private sector, though.

Betsy DeVos, Ed Sec, is anti-common core. America might still have a chance!

Didn't Jeff Sessions prosecute and then enforce the death sentence for the son of a KKK leader for the murder of a black person in Alabama? He could be racist, but probably not a Klansman per se.

Uh...no she's not. She's a board member of Jeb's ed foundation, which has been overwhelmingly pro-Common Core. I'm not sure that it cares about anything, other than Common Core and privatizing.

You should check her Twitter and personal website. You might be surprised.

What she's saying now that she's navigating public office waters means little to me. Even Jeb has reached the point of not directly saying the words Commonly Core if he can avoid it. Her approach to high standards has always been connected to her interest in privatization, which is her passion. When CC came out it was crafted to be charter school friendly...when the results were terribly uneven for charters (and even negative) suddenly it was "ruined by federal interventions" and a disaster.

I don't think he's a Klansman. I think he's an obvious racist.

believe it or not, "KKKdar" was a joke

but maybe I am completely wrong because I read the goddamn WaPo too much

Pfft...Nate Silver didn't see this one coming, did he?

lol

Trump's torture answer from that is really quite something, and not at all how it's been framed (that he flip-flopped on it). He basically says that he'll torture if that's what the public seems to want him to do.

Nope. Looks like it's going to make him a LOT of money. If all those secret service agents stay at Trump's properties, who do you think collects rent? Who do you think pays that rent?
