BI NOW GAY LATER
Jan 17, 2008

So people stop asking, the "Bi" in my username is a reference to my love for the two greatest collegiate sports programs in the world, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Marshall Thundering Herd.

Was loaning people your shoes a thing in the 50s? Like did a family just have one pair of shoes that they all shared? Who's loaning people their shoes?

It reads like Trump stole his doctor's letterhead and wrote it himself.

This is a joke, right? This can't possibly be real.

Actually universities fought hard to keep "student athletes" from legally being employees, you should know that.

Tuition doesn't pay itself. Scholarships are a taxable form of income; if Missouri really wanted to ratfuck some activist student athletes, the Department of Revenue would be checking to make sure all those folk declared their scholarships as income and paid the appropriate state taxes.

Doesn't matter, because the colleges and universities fought hard to keep student athletes legally not employees.

This is the same guy that wrote the bill to ban 'luxury food' under Missouri's food stamp law and wanted to build a Vietnam War memorial except for aborted fetuses.

It looks like NPR has entered into a cross-promotional deal with the Pentagon.

The New York Times posted:

Bowe Bergdahl to Face Court-Martial on Desertion Charges

A top Army commander on Monday ordered that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl face a court-martial on charges of desertion and endangering troops stemming from his decision to leave his outpost in 2009, prompting a huge manhunt in the wilds of eastern Afghanistan and landing him in nearly five years of harsh Taliban captivity.

The decision by Gen. Robert B. Abrams, head of Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., means that Sergeant Bergdahl, 29, faces a possible life sentence, a far more serious penalty than had been recommended by the Army’s own investigating officer, who had testified that a jail sentence would be “inappropriate.”

In a terse statement after the decision, Sergeant Bergdahl’s chief defense lawyer, Eugene R. Fidell, said that General Abrams “did not follow the advice of the preliminary hearing officer who heard the witnesses.” Mr. Fidell said that the hearing officer had also previously recommended against a prison sentence. .

The decision followed a recommendation from the Army lawyer who presided over Sergeant Bergdahl’s preliminary hearing in Texas in September that the sergeant face neither jail time nor a punitive discharge and that he go before an intermediate tribunal known as a “special court-martial” where the most severe penalty possible would be a year of confinement.

How are scholarships taxable?
