Trump Paid College Admissions
 
Holy Christ,
He was Lori Laughlin before Full House.

He paid for somebody to take his SAT’s.

Once again, if you got money in Murica, then you get a big boat, and college, I guess.

Fat bastards. I wish my family had disposable income like this.

Whelp, you got money in America, and I guess you’re upper class!

Congress has the power of the purse, not the President.

Congress has nothing to do with where the economy is right now.

It has the major responsibility to do with it. Are you saying Congress is shirking its responsibility?

Trumps handling of this health crisis even to now insisting schools reopen, is trashing the economy, congress has zip to do with it; other than try to legislate help to so many Americans, businesses and entire sections of our economy being devastated. Don’t blue font me, I already know your opinion, I don’t agree or care to debate.

i have three young kids. i wouldn’t want schools
closed
much longer. they are losing out on the childhood they deserve. if older teachers with co morbidities need to retire, then they need to retire because they can’t do what the job now is. Kids need to go to school pretty soon.

Not arguing that kids are loosing out and I realize its he not just the educational loss, but the social aspect as well. Trump saying open without a comprehensive plan and well thought out safety and funding to make that happen are two different things.

We have a republic, not a democracy. The federal government does not have a significant, if any, constitutional role in a comprehensive plan for education of our children. The President has even less than that. It is up to the states when to open the schools. And it is up to the states to fund it.

This makes no sense. The states are handling the health crisis. The states are handling the opening of the schools.
And Congress is the ultimate authority on the political handling of the economy.


Don’t blue font me, I already know your opinion, I don’t agree or care to debate.

Then why are you debating?

Odd that you then approve of his using unconstitutional emergency executive orders to build three miles of wall.
But you’ll rationalize that, somehow

It’s going to take a lot more for Donald Trump & Betsy Devos to convince me they are pro-education than ordering people back to school during a pandemic.

I would be overjoyed if the federal Department of Education was abolished. The Constitution left education to the people and the states. What do you mean by "pro-education"? Are Trump and Devos anti-education? That's silly. But we shouldn't even be talking about their pro or anti education. That should strictly be a state and local issue.

What are you saying that potus doesn’t understand he can’t force the children back to class, or are you confirming the messaging from the top is dangerous and irresponsible?

Wait for the threat to withhold federal funding for states who are concerned about opening.

Nice, Trump made it 90 minutes after this post.

Just to make sure everyone is clear here, Trump is using your kids as pawns in his reelection campaign.

I'm not saying either. Are you asking for a debate, or for me to just shut up after you push my buttons so I will respond?

There should be no federal funds for education. And the federal government should quit taxing the bejesus out of everyone in the states in order to pay for the scads of programs the fed has no constitutional mandate to create.

Then the states would have enough of a not already overtaxed base to be able to tax their own citizens for the things those citizens want.

Yes, let's get rid of her so the Dept. of Education can get back to doing its stellar job of making American public education the miracle it had become before she came on board, especially for minorities.

Your funny are you suggesting only privately run schools can successfully teach American and minorities..

Seems you fail to grasp the volume of students who pass thru our public schools or how their funded staffed ect.

And what you deem a measurement of success. Is absent from your response

And what has devos done to improve the system besides throw money at religous and private ones . Which has been her goal since day 1

Clearly our system doesn't treat all school and students equally and never has. And choice is only an option to those who wish to pay for it , or the willingness to to have their child travel hours to a charter school because they can't afford to live in that area.. with good schools .. this isnt just a minority issue its a rual issues as well
But for the right its not an issue at all .. they wish to fix . Its part of their national relection theme. They can't loose the base .. whom id wager 99% went to public schools . Who clearly failed them in civics and history

I don't have a problem with them being moved or removed by the local authorities but this business of criminals throwing tantrums and defacing and destroying them only results in more of the same...it's mindless, it breeds more violence and destruction.....it won't end with statues....

I agree with the 1st part

But not the 2nd part local authorities
Have failed they have ingnored the people over those affluent donors who wish to see these statues stand going on with the its destroying history BS ..

Change throughout history has been accomplished by the mob.. this isnt new

Nor are the comments from Trump and others about the protester as enemys..

Fear of status tends to do that.. Trump is for Trump 1st. He just wraps the flag around him as a shield claiming hes standing in front defending America...but only the left deals in identity politics?
