    I don’t think, nor did I say, that any particular person is “entitled” to education at a particular institution. Just pointed out the contrast with some folks thinking that the kid who thinks the n-word is hilarious is entitled to admission at Harvard. And yes, your comparison is silly, as an expensive house is a luxury good, and education at an elite institution tends to open doors to opportunity...not that I wouldn’t change that in a heartbeat if I were making the rules.

    This KK point is so crazy. Nobody is saying he is entitled to have anyone pay for him. You are saying we should pay for people to go for private schools.

    And a luxury home absolutely provides things that a normal home doesnt. That doesnt make the normal home any less usable for the individual

    If you choose to go to a 25k a year school then you better have a damn plan to pay for it other than expecting taxpayers to do it for you.

    You gotta admit those really candid photos of her show her compassion for whatever she is looking at. She looks great and really concerned in those portraits of herself looking at whatever she is looking at

    A thread of some of the policy approaches we should consider wrt immigration:

    1. Foreign policy: Reinstate US humanitarian aid in the Northern Triangle, where people are fleeing. US should start acting like a real partner in Latin America,& increase visas where we intervene.

    2. Climate change: There is broad consensus from military to activists that resource strains (droughts, famine, etc) & nat disasters are drivers of refugees.
    People are fleeing places that were once livable &are no longer. It will get worse the longer we do nothing #GreenNewDeal


    3. Border policy: As @JulianCastro mentioned in the #DemDebate, it’s time to repeal Section 1325 & 1326, the statutes this admin is using to mindlessly throw people in cages.

    We have to take these proceedings out of criminal code & into civil code. Torture accomplishes nothing.


    4. Econ: We need large-scale public investment to spur job creation for citizens&immigrants alike. Ideally that investment transitions us to a sustainable economy (climate & income-wise). We are overdue to rebuild American infra&it’s going to take ALL of us & immigrants to do it.

    I'm reminded the shock in 2006 when the Palestinians elected Hezbollah for governance. The reasoning was rather simple, Hezbollah picked up the trash.
    All politics is local

    Question is, who steps into the Central American void we are creating ?
    Who will pick up "the trash" ????


    or ...

    1. We have been providing aid for a long time and conditions worsened.

    2. There is not a consensus on the needed response to climate change.

    3. Great, open borders.

    4. We need to spend tax dollars on illegals? Oh man, please run on this.

    cause i know lots of people that quote nazis. it's usually to point out how absurd the other side is and show what historically they are supporting

    Julio has been steadfast in his assertion that you are guilty oh who you associate with, as that has been plenty of evidence to assert Ron Paul is a clear cut racist.

    I'm curious his opinions on AOCs favorably quoting nazis and her chief of staff wearing the shirt of one?

    I find it interesting that the left's new hero ACTUALLY embracing nazis isn't worthy of discussion.

    Carry on
