Do you think they will ever realize letting Rudy babble incoherently to everyone and anyone, while incriminating the entire administration in a pants-on-head stupid as gently caress conspiracy is a bad thing?

So all of this means that Trump really is so deluded that in his mind he really is innocent of all wrong doing and won the election without any outside assistance at all.

huh. well blow me down

i always figured the reason people avoided putting their kids in pre-school was because they felt they wouldn't be ready for it

every parent would absolutely love to have their kid in a good preschool, not only is it enrichment for the child but it's daily childcare as well

the big obstacle is affordability. childcare is one of those things where people will give up working to be a stay at home parent if it makes financial sense, because you need to make at least $40k yourself as a parent for it to be a sound idea. and there are plenty of folks who have no choice at all and pay for the shadiest barely licensed in-home daycares they can afford

Trump is entertained by it, he thinks he does a good job. That’s why he keeps doing it.

There's a killer episode of This American Life that talks about how one legislator nearly by himself snuck-in a "big government" program of free all day pre-k in Oklahoma without any of the other legislators noticing or making a fuss about it.

He has to know (or at least be vaguely aware; I mean: swiss chesse and all, so who the gently caress knows) that if he ever goes against Putin in any way, shape or form, many of his post-presidency prospects might look grim or dry up entirely.

Obama was pushing for universal preschool in his final years. Arguably one of his best ideas and one that anyone with kids can get behind except he didn’t call it “Free Preschool” because he’s a loving capitalist.

yeah kinda. i think decades ago, trump used to just be a gross narssitic bigoted rear end in a top hat who says crazy poo poo because he could spin. now he just believes it in totality. he believes his own lies and its a ton of different reasons why.

Note that those programs aren't as universal as they might seem:

Georgia's is limited by the total number of available Pre-Ks:

quote:

Because participation in Georgia's Pre-K Program is voluntary for public schools and for private child development centers, there may not be enough spaces in every community for all four year olds who wish to participate. Every effort will be made to contract with eligible centers to create enough spaces for children who want to attend OR to match children with available spaces in other Pre-K program in the area.


Florida you only get 1 year out of the 2:

quote:

Can my child attend VPK for two years?

A. No. Each child is eligible for one student voucher. Some families will have a choice of sending their
child to VPK in one year or another based on the child's birthdate.

Nope, welcome to the financial hell that is parenting ($30K+ a year in daycare for one kid still seems excessive to me, but not incredibly so. I live in a pretty expensive suburb and pay $1600 a month per kid. I can imagine it being worse in SF or NYC though).

I live near Sacramento California and pay $520 per month for my daughter to have just 8 days a month at a Montessori pre school. The closer you get to the bay area the price goes up exponentially.

Huh. I wonder if this is Barr throwing himself on his sword to defend executive overreach. If he can claim he asked Trump to pressure Ukraine to help with his crackpot conspiracy theory investigation, and if people believe Trump was 'just following the advice of his AG' which lol Trump following advice.

idk. why the gently caress would he do that. i feel like barr will throw trump under the bus, doing your bosses dumb dirty work is one thing but now he is directly a target and will probably end up as a scapegoat/sacrifice, i doubt he wants that.
