He'd hire someone to take the exam for him...and then refuse to pay them

A big fat ZERO is what you get when you don't show up for an important exam. Automatic fail.

You might--MIGHT--get a chance to make it up, but you don't normally get to negotiate the terms of said make-up. And if you don't even bother to SHOW UP for the make-up? Holy shit!

But see....that's why Trump has somehow lived 78.5 years without ever growing up. He's lived those 78.5 years by a set of rules different from most everyone else. He's come to expect it. It's infuriating, really...

I cannot figure out how this country got itself into this fix.

I hope the history books grant him his wishes and put him in the same chapters that exposed Hilter for the evil SOB that he was. Trump has earned his SOB status already.

Not to forget the rudderless, brainwashed, selfish and hateful rubes that have lapped up this shit for years.

express support for it, but I believe it would be up to the Senate rules to actually change it.

I thought the Senate ran the Senate.

Education is a serious problem in this country.

I worked for the railroad and was always being evaluated much more than the guys. I finally called them out on their shit. The women were much more serious about the job and seemed to work much more harder than the guys. We had to prove ourselves. Looking back, what a bunch of bullshit.

I was really surprised when I read this article.

but the bottom line is that they CAN'T have a n***er woman show up and outperform the criminal white supremacist fascist loser that the media supports.

The brief time I caught included the pretzel-twisting idiocy on CNN that whined about her "discussing policy", claiming "people want to know more about her", that then comes back to whining about her "discussing herself", but insisting "people want to know more about her policy".

They are fucking racists. Straight up.

Ted Turner is still around. I wish he would buy them back and fire every last one of them.

I told CNN to F all the way off a long time ago, and I reaffirm that decision.

F off, CNN. F all the Fing way the F off!

He's a snarky asshole: " Everyone's words do have meaning. Everyone's except for [VP Harris] "
Makes faces when others are talking, like a fourth grader in class.
Interrupts others while they are talking, like a fourth grader in class.
Gish Gallops whenever he gets the floor.

And by the way, my apologies to assholes.
At least they serve a useful function.

Race and gender.
The White Man's Pass.

A plurality of Americans give deference to those they perceive as powerful. The model of power for them is a rich white male fighting to preserve privilege for rich white males. The rapist is just that.

It's a richly American practice to give white men like trump the White Man's Pass. It's given by all elements of our society including (especially) the corporate press/media.

by those wealthy white male landowner "founding fathers".

The original filibuster required planning, provision, and endurance. One member spoke on the floor, as long as he could stand there and think of something meaningful to say on a given subject. What they have now just involves signing a few forms, or something.

I have been calling it the courtesy filibuster.

Damn sick of this.

...he gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless.

Talk about a double standard!

it's a trigger and I hope it wakes some people up

They aren't taking the same exam.

"Look, she has policies, she might not articulate them perfectly every time"

WHY would he add that statement? He is doing exactly what he is 'complaining' about.

I turned CNN off soon after the town hall, when Bash said Harris hadn't sealed the deal or something equally stupid.

He gets a free pass. She gets kicked in the ass.

...so I could wipe out some of the left people" Oh well..That's just being Donnie-boy.
Kamala Harris can say "I had A egg for breakfast"
The media>> "That stupid Bit**.....Doesn't she know how to speak proper English... GRRRRR!

And this is the result.

Damn, that's good! And also something every woman in America—scratch that—on the planet, has experienced.

I was shocked about the criticisms I heard from Dana Bash, in particular. I thought Kamala did a great job! She's a real human being and you could see her answering some incredibly difficult questions on her feet. There are not any politicians I can think of who would subject themselves to that and do any better. Her answers on inflation and Israel Gaza were not perfect because THERE IS NOTHING PERFECT TO SAY ABOUT EITHER OF THESE SITUATIONS!!! These are both very complicated issues for many different reasons. CNN was worse than I even expected it to be.

The Senate has to do that.
The best we could hope for is, if Harris wins and the Senate stays in the hands of the Democrats, for a change in the rules to exempt certain legislation from filibuster.
This could be used on legislation for budget, voting rights, civil rights, women's reproductive rights, and confirmation of appointments made by the President.
As it stands now, the Senate is essentially non-functional when it comes to controversial legislation.
Changes to the filibuster process are needed to make the Senate work again.

The news media (sic) is protecting their golden cow.

God, how the electorate is so harsh when it comes to Democrats, so likely to let damaging info slide when it comes to Republicans

at all, and then criticize Harris for not having detailed her policy positions to their personal standards. There is one candidate who is a real candidate, with a great platform, and the other who is a phony in every sense of the word, running on pure chaos and confusion.

Kamala showed up. The CONvicted felon was MIA

But Hillary kicked Trump's ass back then in the popular vote. And that was when most people thought Trump would somehow change into some kind of decent president if he won. I think many know better than that now.

they have huge fake media organizations that can reach all of their voters. The last few years that have started right wing media organizations to reach out to black and latino voters.

while we have *checks notes , none. That's why since the 90's we have to run world class politicians to win , while they can run dummies. This is a bit simplistic but the gist is the same.

I flipped the channel as soon as Dana Bash got five words out of her mouth.

Women, especially WOC, are held to higher standards than men. A mediocre white man can be successful just by having the right connections. Women have to work twice as hard for everything. Remember the old saying, "Ginger Rogers did the same thing as Fred Astaire, only backwards and in high heels."
