    Which is pretty much exactly what I said would come of this. All we get is virtue signaling.

    Some of that...but also the Dems expect to control government next year...very little incentive to cut a deal with Mitch

    We shall see. Likely to have the Presidency and Congress. Hope they prove me wrong. They need to put the pressure on Republicans when they try to obstruct like Trump does. Dont let Republicans frame the narrative. If they have the Presidency and Congress they need to frame the narrative as Republicans obstructing the will of the people. They will scream tyranny the whole way but "elections have consequences". When the voters say they dont want Republicans to control the Presidency or either side of Congress there is no reason to compromise or let them frame the narrative. They need 60 votes to get Bill's voted on but they can change that. With 50 votes.

    “Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have previously requested Mr. Mueller appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about his investigation,” Graham said in a statement. “That request will be granted.”

    I think this a pretty big deal and quite a reversal.
    Have also read to expect public distancing between Senators up for re-election and Trump.

    A little less sanity for us to look forward to. I suppose Amash is tired of the corruption.

    It's why we cant have a good government. Good, smart people simply arent interested in playing

    The same could be said of teachers. I saw it a LOT when I was still teaching in the public schools.

    Agreed. Incentive structure is bad for teachers

    I would have loved to teach but jobs on long Island were guaranteed to people who didn't know how to teach and couldn't pass a high school math exam.

    Teachers unions are great.

    I have never been to Long Island but that stuff happens around here ALL the time and it has absolutely nothing to do with teachers unions or any kind of union. It is ALL about familial connections and/or the buddy/buddy network. You go ahead with the "usual suspects approach" though Pavlov would be proud.

    Who is responsible for the concept of tenure and fighting for teachers with tenure despite their incompetence?
