The Trump Presidency

You fall for it every damn time.

Most of higher education is pointless. Its a system created to put our next generation into endless debt.

And of course - Breeding ground of fanatical Liberal ideology.

Zero percent of higher education is pointless. Zero.

Incredibly false - The idea that you can't learn key life lessons outside of a college campus that will put you tens of thousands of dollars into debt is absurd.

Just because you can learn life lessons outside the classroom doesn't refute his point.

I happen to mostly agree with him, even though I also agree with you that there is a huge signaling component to higher ed.

I just don't think college should be "free for everyone!!!"

Knowledge is available in the public square. You have to want it.

My original undergraduate at Binghamton was wasted by me through lack of attendance and deciding that weed/video games were more important than my future. I still got out of it with a BA in Math. However, I went back to Queens College and had to endure pointless classes. I would study for 30 minutes a day and left with a 4.0 GPA and got the reqs necessary to take the CPA exams (which of course were a piece of cake).

My life, and earnings potential, changed when I wanted to make the change. It had nothing to do with the institution.

Society has forced our youth to go to school by making arbitrary minimum requirements for a position. Companies should hire people on 90 day contracts and not care about pieces of paper. Let the person prove they know the subject material.

College has become more and more irrelevant thanks to the internet... add in the rising costs, with diminishing returns for many degrees, and it is ripe for disruption.

My company has finally decided to remove the college degree as a pre-req for full time employment. I imagine many other major corps will follow suit

Lol.

According to three people cited in the Times report on Monday, Ross called acting NOAA Administrator Neil Jacobs and told him to fix the National Weather Service's contradiction of Trump's claim. When Jacobs opposed the demand, Ross told him NOAA's political staff would be fired, the Times reported.
The report also says Ross' threat to fire the employees is what caused NOAA on Friday to disavow a tweet from the NWS' Birmingham, Alabama, office that had contradicted Trump's claim.

If you don't understand the concept of zero, which I believe is taught in lower education, then I agree that higher education would be pointless.

It has become a system for debt but that is because higher education has been hijacked by accountants and the business community.

Same as every major news source.

WASHINGTON — Decades ago, the C.I.A. recruited and carefully cultivated a midlevel Russian official who began rapidly advancing through the governmental ranks. Eventually, American spies struck gold: The longtime source landed an influential position that came with access to the highest level of the Kremlin.

As American officials began to realize that Russia was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election, the informant became one of the C.I.A.’s most important — and highly protected — assets. But when intelligence officials revealed the severity of Russia’s election interference with unusual detail later that year, the news media picked up on details about the C.I.A.’s Kremlin sources.

C.I.A. officials worried about safety made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia. The situation grew more tense when the informant at first refused, citing family concerns — prompting consternation at C.I.A. headquarters and sowing doubts among some American counterintelligence officials about the informant’s trustworthiness. But the C.I.A. pressed again months later after more media inquiries. This time, the informant agreed.

It's amazing how many times our firefighters get a "this is big" story completely wrong, and the same stupid sheep continue to eat it up.

I hope you guys are being paid. Otherwise it would be too sad to contemplate.

You just misrepresent legitimate criticism in order to avoid dealing with the reality at hand - an idiot criminal, lying fascist dictator wannabe is in the Oval Office. I think the walls are indeed closing in on him but not that he will ever be held accountable for his crimes. I've stated since the beginning that I though the institutions would in fact protect him, now that he is a member of the ruling elite.

But I think he should be held accountable if he's broken any laws for personal or political reasons. He's no more than a temporary office boy/ window dressing model, as is any president, and should be treated as such.
