For the Record: With Cheap Shots

To be clear the ICE rule has existed for a while, and it had a legit purpose, to stop exploitation of foreign students by fraudulent online diploma mills like University of Phoenix (though why administered by ICE and deporting students instead of DOE to regulate schools?) https://t.co/JOcKWq9ihO

But it clearly should have been suspended for this year's emergency when schools are being punished for doing whatever they can to ensure student safety. Goes along with Trump trying to discourage masking, and it's evil.

Not to mention the administration's ongoing effort (not likely to succeed, because he doesn't have the power under our "federal" system which seems like a good thing for a change) to force public schools to open ahead of time, which just seems ridiculously dangerous, for teachers and other staff, for kids (and the horrible danger of the Kawasaki-like syndrome that has afflicted some when "normal" Covid-19 left them apparently unscathed) and the parents and grandparents to whom they could bring the disease home. I have my own theory of what his "plan" is—

srsly I think more and more, among his bad character defects, he's a gambler and a luckless one who thinks he gets lucky all the time when he's actually being rescued by paid help. He knows it's unlikely "cases will go down to zero" but he bets on it because what else has he got?

I mean it just makes sense!

And in miscellaneous news—

She learned she'd been cheated (and her NDA was unenforceable) in 2018 alongside cooperation with NYT. It took her a while to write the book (she seems to be a good writer, too).

I wouldn't call her "the resistance" but I wouldn't spend time dumping on her either.

I think he seriously means it. He doesn't care one way or the other or even have a clear idea what the issues are. He just thinks complaining gets him votes (which he confuses with TV ratings)

Pleased to say I was wrong and the slogan wasn't death to the movement! I'll try to have more faith in people.

You missed the long meetings when we hammered out the position in comprehensive detail, as US activists always do.

If you guys working around the clock got us where we are today, you must be incredibly bad at your jobs. If you're trying to say you've been working even less on stopping Internet bullying, we were aware of that. https://t.co/TrXlCL6x2f

Conversion Therapy for Psychopaths?

"DHS sent me to the border to see the separations myself to try to make me more compassionate, but it didn’t work." --Katie Miller, former spokesperson for Department of Homeland Security, now in Vice President's Office, didn't see the point.

Katie is of course the lovely bride of White House Jewish Nazi Stephen Miller.
