http://www.themountainmail.com/free_content/article_ccf5440e-76ae-11e7-9a1d-b7701d2c235f.html There's currently a social media shitstorm brewing in Germany over eight students being detained and subsequently deported at Denver International. The students were there for a program called Rocky Mountain Language Adventure, and expected to be accommodated by host families and do unpaid internships at companies in the area of Salida (?) to get to know American customs and be immersed in American culture or whatever the gently caress. Before I read the article, I figured there must have been some random red flag raised in the J-1 visa process of one student, and then they all got hosed because they were a group. Bit harsh, and you're not really supposed to detain/turn back groups on the basis of one member's hosed paperwork, but hey. Then I read the first couple of paragraphs. The students were there on the ESTA waiver program. Holy loving Ell Oh Ell. At this point, I'm thinking there must have been a missed deadline in the program, and someone hoped to get away with ESTA when J-1 was no longer a timely option. Nope. Program was operated for five years by some Colorado teacher named Masterson, and she claims ESTA was fine the previous years and this is all just BECAUSE TRUMP, which is a blatant lie. My guess is the kids were instructed to shut the gently caress up about the internship aspect of their trip at customs, and some kid hosed up. How loving dumb do you have to be to conceive a program that sends hundreds of kids into the US, but not once check proper regulation OR assume it'll go well forever if the kids just lie? quote:Masterson began the exchange program after teaching English at a Waldorf school in Stuttgart, Germany, for 15 years. All students who have come to Salida through the exchange program, including the eight deported from the airport this weekend, have been 18-year-olds from that same Waldorf school and other Waldorf schools in Germany.

The NRA is completely out of ideas, so they want to "fist the New York Times and find out just what deep rich means to this old gray hag." Skip to 0:29: https://twitter.com/NRATV/status/893230656125149185 She's now trying to claim that she said "fisk" which she might have but uh.... why?

quote:Fisking is a blogosphere slang describing a point-by-point criticism that highlights perceived errors, or disputes the analysis in a statement, article, or essay.[35] The term originated from various blogs which have taken particular issue with Fisk's views. Many of these bloggers have responded by reprinting his dispatches on their blogs, adding their own paragraph-by-paragraph commentary, dissecting and claiming to debunk Fisk's assertions and opinions.[36] According to The Guardian, "fisking" has come to denote the practice of "savaging an argument and scattering the tattered remnants to the four corners of the internet".[37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fisk ... although the sliver-thin cross-section of NRA members who'd get hype for that video and NRA members who know of Robert Fisk is probably like 3 dudes. And she said Fist.

Despite it being Fox News, this is actually a fairly objective and honest assessment of the situation: quote:That number matches up almost perfectly to the percentage of Republicans who believe Trump is not interfering. Heck, 30 percent of Republicans said they didn’t even think Russia interfered in the first place; and 70 percent of GOP respondents said they didn’t think Trump had done anything wrong at all. psydude fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Aug 5, 2017 |
