The education system is “flush with cash”?

Yeah. Where the fuck did that come from?

And my hovercraft is full of eels and Norwegians are consuming ludefisk.

It has to be, because all the public school teachers and administrators are paid exorbitant salaries and benefits. Everyone knows that.

He is right about the political establishment feathering their own nests while ignoring the rest of us, but I don’t know how he fulfills his promise. The same establishment controls the Congress and looking at his cabinet picks, the administration. I don’t think the establishment foxes are going to focus on the problems of the American people.

NPR just said, this address was inline with his whole campaign. “He has proudly stood alone against the establishment of both parties.”

I thought all the Bernie people would be happy - Goldman Sachs Hilary isn’t being inaugurated. Where’s the revolution the Bernie Bros promised us if this happened?

Yeah I thought so.

Nice Polite Republicans just “reported” that Kellyanne Conway is wearing Gucci and a red hat.

Well American democracy is now safe from Russian propaganda. What a relief.

I just saw the title of the latest post at Editor’s Blog, which goes “He Xeroxed the Convention Speech.” And that’s all I expected and all I need to know about the address. I tortured myself through his convention speech (yep, I watched it) and one time is enough. I didn’t watch the inaugural installment one and I will never watch it.

This Russian mole is not now, nor will he ever be, my President. This cluster-fuck of hate and idiocy does not deserve the title he’s been given.

Now, and until he leaves in disgrace, he will be Resident Trump, the illegitimate occupier.

The Demagogue-in-Chief now has the reins. His speech was unnecessarily dark, exposing the con-man’s true heart. No pivot. We must all resist. Attend the DC march tomorrow or a sister march. We will/ must overcome!

Of course it is. How else did a University he is intimately familiar with pay a $25 million judgement?

“At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.”

Oh fuck you, you Kremlin pawn.

It’s nicely alliterative in Bannon’s draft:

“Das Bildungssystem ist bundig mit Bargeld”

but that got lost in the translation.

Anyhoo, what it means is that Betsy DeVos is going to preside over huge cuts in
education spending, together with voucherization and charter schools and anything
else to screw over the public schools.

“It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.” - Robert Fulghum
