After this's all over, I hope the U.S. gov't bills Trump for the damage he's done to our reputation

As someone who is very sheltered and gullible I resemble this comment.

But I don't know that stuff is way beyond me. Scary and intimidating at the best of times, I can't even imagine how* this stuff resonates with the fuzzbreaux that have youngsters.

*how not having. have been having a beverage. Sorry. I love y'all.

beverage is the best way to enjoy the company of your fuzzbreaux.

Only speaking for myself it is troubling in a way that only the refugee issue has been (so far). I think our strength is measured by our generosity, ad we're seeing serious atrophy.

Shit is real. Just moved from Flint (predictably terrible schools) to Dexter, which is an affluent, almost entirely white hamlet a few miles west of Ann Arbor. Thought long and hard about what it meant almost entirely in terms of personal politics and public schools...looked at sending the babies to the remarkably diverse but failing schools my wife and I went to. Read studies indicating that the educational level of parents is a more accurate and consistent indicator of academic success than school rankings...still moved to the rich white town.

My experience is that academic success and perception of academic success are very different. For reasons still not clear, my parents pulled my brother and I from a top-10 school in the state to a lower third-school. Not hard to understand how friends from the old area got into better schools, have easier career paths, &c.

Long and obvious story short: we thought (and still think) being a parent is about sublimating your personal politics and giving kids every opportunity. It's one reason why we tend to get more conservative as we age (in the classical sense if not the contemporary one).

So now we just have periodic crises of conscience.

Thanks for this, seriously. It's a real struggle, wanting the best for your kids and junk and having your ideals and morals and stuff. I really appreciate your insights as I glean them across this site.

Yeah man not trying to preach...stories and anecdotes sometimes work better than politically entrenched bullshit. Also makes it explicit that my two cents are very specific.

not sure it has come up yet but I was re-watching arrested development,
I think Trump stole his wall idea from season 4

[Chankgeez]

Would not surprise me.

Next thing he's gonna tell us is "there's always money in the banana stand".

I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Mobile is super buggy for me.

I don't think he is that articulate,

It would be more like,
Those people .... banana stand money........always there...........sad.....

You forgot the part about the "dishonest media".

Seriously though: if that were a drinking game, half the people in the country would be dead from alcohol poisoning.
