Members JaneAusten Posted November 2, 2017 Members Share Posted November 2, 2017 https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/education-officials-expect-ineffective-betsy-devos-to-step-down-as-her-agenda-collapses-report/ One problem with implementing her plan is that public schools receive very little of their funding from the federal government. Another is her overall unpopularity and ineffectiveness. Her first budget proposal for the department — one which would have slashed funding from multiple school programs and reapportioned that money to DeVos’ pet cause, “school choice” — was rejected by Congress. Now, with her agenda on the rocks and morale at the Education Department cratering, some predict that DeVos may return to the private sector sooner than she’d planned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 2, 2017 Members Share Posted November 2, 2017 It seems as if DeVos' only goal was to roll back any and all protections for students, particularly when it came to those for-profit schools that are little more than certificate mills. It would be great if she could resign before inflicting yet more damage. She can return to her Clockwork Orange style experimental institutions that she was doing previously. So apparently, Brazile is now trying to refute today's trending headlines by furiously retweeting everyone who criticized the sentiment posited in the Politico article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted November 2, 2017 Members Share Posted November 2, 2017 ^ I'm guessing she realized just how many people she alienated with those allegations and decided to back track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Please register in order to view this content Your comment the other day about Trump bringing back the 30's cracked me up too, in a dark humor kind of way. In these dark days I appreciate your low key humor. The one thing I like about the Republican tax plan is the cap on the mortgage tax deduction. The mortgage deduction is a regressive part of the tax code and should only exist if there is a concession to people who can't afford to own, imo.

Members Eric83 Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 This tweet thread debunks all of Brazile's trash from this morning. The Hillary Victory Fund was nothing more than Hillary raising money for down ballot races. Something Bernard Sanders was NOT doing. Bernie actually cost these state parties valuable time and resources by staying in the race because Hillary could not give them anything until she was the presumptive nominee. Bernie is a selfish [!@#$%^&*] and I wish he'd go away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 Maybe this will tell people that Bernie is not a Democrat and never has been - it's time to stop flogging that horse. https://www.thedailybeast.com/bernie-sanders-sits-out-a-tight-race-in-virginia-after-his-candidate-falls-short 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Generally speaking, Berniebots can be as oblivious to the truth as Trump Nation. And they wouldn't care. (And when I say "generally speaking," that's what I mean. There ARE exceptions, after all.) They'd follow Bernie to the GOP if he was inclined to go there.

Members marceline Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 This is actually good. Almost every candidate endorsed by Bernie loses. He's ballot box poison. The Republican Governors Association has been all over this story because they WANT Bernie to endorse Northam because they know it will hurt his campaign. Frankly, I'm surprised Bernie didn't endorse him out of spite like he did Ossoff. I'm hoping we can keep his crusty ass out of the Alabama Senate race too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 http://thehill.com/homenews/news/358620-doj-alleges-aclu-misled-government-about-timing-of-teens-abortion The DOJ is saying the ACLU misled them about when that South American girl who needed the abortion was scheduled. The government was going to go for a stay. This is really infuriating to me. The poor thing had the procedure at 4:30 in the morning because these ridiculous politicians and their minions have to impose their will on women's bodies. Thank goodness she was able to get it done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 3, 2017 Members Share Posted November 3, 2017 Honestly, people who can afford to send their kids to expensive private schools really need to keep their noses out of the public school system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
