President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Used to exist. Do you think there is any journalist right now sitting within 100 yards of his hospital? Much less in the lobby or cafeteria or nosing around the waiting room?

 

Old Tony might be there trying to score an autograph.

 

As my first boss said - somebody knows something.

 

A pointed reminder in Tuesday's newsletter by political historian Heather Cox Richardson ...

A full decade ago, in April 2012, respected scholars Thomas Mann, of the Brookings Institution, and Norm Ornstein, of the American Enterprise Institute, crunched the numbers and concluded:

“The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges.”

Is it fair to assume that unless proven otherwise she did get into Harvard Law with LSAT scores that were not usually high enough to be admitted?

I mean Hat Man and his ilk are entitled to think whatever they want, but is he making a reasonable assumption?

 

I swear to God I’ll pistol whip the next guy who quotes hat guy.

 

I'm sorry Judge Jackson, I am for real
Dems meant to make Brett Kavanaugh cry
They should have apologized a trillion times
I'm sorry Judge Jackson, I am for real
Dems meant to make Brett Kavanaugh cry
They should have apologized a trillion times

 

The cruelty is the point.

 

I received an email that every teacher in the state has to provide this information:

Do This for Each Course.
(Name of Teacher )
(Course Title)
(Textbook) Publisher and ISBN if possible
(Any other Major Printed Materials used in class) Novels – Workbook – Other Textbooks
(A List of all Tools and Software Used to Teach the class) – Databases – Review Sites – Online Research Source

 

Why would you make that assumption unless you think either a) women or b) black people or c) both automatically do worse on the LSAT?
