evilweasel posted:He wrote the memo knowing that it would be used as justification for the firing and that it was not actually the basis for the firing. Yeah, but it's worth pointing out that he almost immediately began looking into candidates for special counsel.

Mulvaney is getting bipartisan-ally brutalized which is pretty interesting. Trump's budget must really be a poo poo bucket.

There's an increasingly large body of evidence that busing students between districts is the best thing for everybody involved, but hooooo boy are people of a certain age south Mason–Dixon line still really salty over it (and now old enough to be running for local school boards in semi-retirement). Oh, and gently caress the Supreme Court case that effectively ended busing. Taerkar posted:The great catch of charter schools is that they usually are not required to take anyone.

Dumb question, more of a 'hey, guys, what's everyone's take on...' than anything: If collaborating with a foreign state to undermine an election and place a puppet in power in the highest office in the land is light treason, what ISN'T? I would argue that Trump has caused more damage than, say, someone who infiltrated the Army in order to get access and then turning around and mowing down an entire Army base full of personnel. Which is probably what we'd say high treason is.

Lol maybe nothing gets done in 4 years by sheer incompetence. We'll probably get a government shutdown out of it. There were some very interesting things Mulvaney said yesterday: "I’ve said it before, I say it again: If you are 30 years old and you are watching this, or you're sitting here, you have never had a job as an adult in a healthy American economy. It’s either been a recession or a slow, sluggish economy stumbling along at less than 2 percent growth." And heres this: "At 3 percent economic growth in a healthy American economy, if you don't like your job, you can quit because you know you can go get another job. If you get laid off, you know you can go off and start your own business. These are the opportunities that people have forgotten about. And these are the things, the optimism in the country, the dynamism in the country that the President is so eager to push back and to bring back to the country." I'm trying to find the quote, its not on the transcript about basically how woefully compliant Americans are within capitalism. It was the best thing Mulvaney said which for the wrong reasons. Couldnt find it though, had something to do with our culture ans what we value.
