edu scamster DeVos loses

DeVos cancels $150M in student loan debt after losing court battle

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...-loans-1063442

"Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Education Committee, said she was “pleased” the department moved to discharge the loans but called on the Trump administration to go further.

“This is a good first step, but it’s not good enough,” Murray (D-Wash.) said in a statement, adding that DeVos should “abandon her attempts to rewrite the borrower defense rule to let for-profit colleges off the hook and instead fully implement the current rule and provide relief to more than 100,000 borrowers who were cheated out of their education and savings.” "

"Those who come hither are generally of the most ignorant Stupid Sort of their own Nation…and as few of the English understand the German Language, and so cannot address them either from the Press or Pulpit, ’tis almost impossible to remove any prejudices they once entertain…Not being used to Liberty, they know not how to make a modest use of it…I remember when they modestly declined intermeddling in our Elections, but now they come in droves, and carry all before them, except in one or two Counties...In short unless the stream of their importation could be turned from this to other colonies, as you very judiciously propose, they will soon so out number us, that all the advantages we have will not in My Opinion be able to preserve our language, and even our Government will become precarious."

--Benjamin Franklin

"[W]hy should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind."

There's so much going on lately that my head is spinning and I cannot process it all.

But anyway, apparently Obamacare is now unconstitutional? Trump is very happy.

So....now what?

[Skuj]

Part of me thinks that this Obamacare judgement, brought on because of the GOP and Trumpy efforts to do everything they can to erase any kind of Obama accomplishments, mostly because he is black, ....wait...oh I'm sorry, wtf was I thinking there? I digress......

Anyway, did a huge gift just land on Dems lap?

Trump thinks he is smart. He is going to tweet his ass off about how wonderful this is. He even tweeted that Chuck and Nancy need to come up with a new plan now.

Over to you, Dems!! This is a golden opportunity. Trump is too stupid to realize the ramifications of this.

Amirite?

That said, I'm perfectly aware of the use of indiscriminate legal immigration in the United States for the same purpose (which would include some of my own ancestors), as I stated above when I quoted A. Phillip Randolf on excessive legal immigration. If you want to debate me, then argue with what I actually say, and stop shoving words into my mouth.

It's quiz time. Who said this in 2016?

“Yes, I’m supporting Donald Trump; I’m doing so as enthusiastically as I can do. In fact, I think he’s a terrible human being,”

[Skuj]

And, don't worry, there's going to be some great health care. The Dems will help dismantle Obamacare and work with the GOP to make something new. Really great.

[!@#$%!]

if trumpcare will be anything like trump university yeah it will be great. the greatest!

Eugene Robinson, WaPo:
"Now the law is beginning to squeeze him from all directions. [...]

The bottom line is that two witnesses, Cohen and AMI, independently now implicate the president of the United States in the commission of two felonies. The campaign finance case is being brought by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. Back in Washington, meanwhile, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has been busy, as well. [...]

Trump’s longtime accountant, Allen Weisselberg, has turned state’s evidence. He may be the Virgil who guides federal, state and local prosecutors through a Trumpian inferno of shell companies and opaque transactions. The outlines of Trump’s fate begin to emerge."

[Skuj]

It will be so sad if this shit brings him down before the Russia Truth comes out. I want to know why he is always so nice to Putin.

***Cue Bytor with "THERE IS NO PROOF OF COLLISION" even though Mueller has said nothing yet.***

My immediate family is drunk on the diarrhea that the GOP shits out, and i just need to not participate in those conversations which tend to be the main thing they all discuss.

I figure it's mostly old people who leave it on literally all day and have nothing better to do with their time. I also figure young persons probably don't contribute much because 1) TV news is old, 2) They're not brainwashed 3) They get what news they do consume through other means like their phone.

[Skuj]

Save us, Young People. Save us.

[tw2113]

Half of it would be just letting the old ones pass away, as rude as I know that sounds.
