Imagine if we could get any Federalist Society judge to recuse themselves when they are presiding over a case involving the Trump regime. Would never happen. The most ethically conflicted president ever has carte blanche, as it were, to attack Black women.

So it’s the Boomers, not capitalism, not the policies of vicious class warriors in government. Good to know.

You mean when his approval is plummeting well below 35% and mass protests are bringing out even more protestors than No Kings did? Good luck with that, Donald.

As a teacher, I have certainly observed how grade inflation creates brittle, anxious students, who are risk averse.

The losing Nazi leaders who weren’t planning on taking cyanide tried to negotiate with allied commanders. The response? Pound sand. Unconditional surrender. No negotiations.

What fascist regime causing incalculable damage was not also populated by incompetent buffoons. That’s a feature, not an impossible confluence of incongruent characteristics.

That’s Trump. His casinos competed against each other and went out of business. He’s as good at business as he is at politics.

What a hilariously bad article uncritically transcribed the nonsense of irrelevant fools. In no place is Trump more hated than in New York. If Trump injects himself, he’ll only make a fool of himself and hurt Cuomo.

Exactly. Leaders of democracies don’t make deals. As a New Yorker, I’ve been wondering recently how much Trump was shaped by the activities of mob bosses in their 50s-70s period. They made deals.

Columbia, like other elite private institutions, has ginormous resources. Rainy day funds. Well, it’s raining. I don’t understand why Shipman and Co. didn’t wait out Trump and hope for better days rather than destroy the institution.
