There was a post that argued that, because Seattle University was not top 100 in law school rankings, it was totally possible that Reade just lied her way into law school.

I think it's pretty cool how if you check the post history of any QCS D&D crusader, literally any single one, just absolutely any of those guys, you'll find they all made a bunch of posts "just asking questions" about Reade and more often than not just kept calling her a lying slut until the mods finally had to tell them to calm down.

mysteriously few probes for that behavior though! very odd!

helps when at least one mod agrees with the question askers

course it eventually got so bad that even the admins had to tell them to cut that poo poo out, which is why there's a (extremely reluctantly-allowed) thread for it now

Uh actually, it’s paused! Except for the parts that are not paused, it is completely paused!

quote:

Q Another quick one about the border. The DHS Secretary is reportedly looking to finish some gaps in the southern border. How does that fit with President Biden’s day one executive order to stop border wall construction?

MS. PSAKI: Well, wall construction remains paused, to the extent permitted by law. So some has already been funded through a congressional authorization and funding allocation. But as agencies develop for a plan — it’s paused while agencies are developing a plan for the President on the management of the federal funds.

When the administration took office, as you referenced, funds had been diverted from congressionally appropriated military construction projects and other appropriated purposes toward building the wall. And wall construction was being challenged in multiple lawsuits — and for much of the wall, I should say; not all of it — by plaintiffs who allege serious environmental and safety issues.

Under those circumstances, federal agencies are continuing to review wall contracts and develop a plan to submit to the President soon.

It is — it is paused. There is some limited construction that has been funded and allocated for, but it is otherwise paused.

This all does beg the question of why exactly China does care so much about holding on Xinjiang. Is it particularly important to them economically? Would they stop being the power they are without it? Looking at a map I highly doubt it. Or is it the precedent that it would set towards other regions they worry may be getting ideas? I certainly wonder whether it may have been more savvy for them to give it a huge amount of autonomy and full religious/cultural freedoms (including or just short of formal independence) while retaining it firmly within Beijing's sphere of influence. The Hong Kong/Macau approach, maybe.

Jen Psaki is as emblematic of the lib west wing aesthetic supremacy as Kayleigh Mcenany was of the trumpist white supremacy.

Yanno who I miss? Spicer. He was a monster, but he came from the Easter Bunny costume and could sometimes be seen to be visibly scared out of his wits. Remember when he hid in the bushes to get away from reporters? Psaki would never get rattled like that, lmao

anyway we barely squeaked by a win and actually lost a poo poo ton in the house, I'm sure we'll be fine once the visceral trump disgust isn't a factor for motivating voters to ignore how lovely we are.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' open contempt for everyone was kind of a breath of fresh air but my favorite was Stephanie Grisham who just literally did nothing whatsoever for ten months.

look it's not like that region is a major part of China's global trade agenda or anything, they can afford to just completely cede authority to...

as an STL resident, she’s got her own issues and has an online following that can best be described as Harris-esque. the mayoral race was between two left-ish women and Jones leaned heavily on idpol in a lot of her campaigning as her opponent was white. it’ll be interesting to see how she goes.

Wasn't he actually up for a diplomatic post in China, too, at one point? (My position at the time being that I don't want him to have any government job but one that gets him as far from the US as possible would be an acceptable compromise.)
