Actually, I have said for years, there's gotta be way to offer at least some form of a "state sponsored" college for people who really want a degree (and are willing to do the fucking work) but are flat assed broke. I was reading DISH's quarterly this morning.... its a dog stock in a shrinking sector, but Charlie Ergen has always been a visionary and he is investing heavily (to the tune of $21 Billion as of now) in the 5G buildout. When 5G becomes reality in most major metropolitan areas... you'll be able to have "virtual" professors in 3D teaching classes to 10's of thousands... right in their living rooms. I mean it can be done now via videos with our existing broadband... but 5G is going to really change the game with regards to whats possible. Either way... I think the existing model of college, while it may work for many that want the debt or have parents that can pay... can be radically modified and the cost of a degree dropped significantly. Lets face it... we need smart youth. If that means Uncle Sam springing for some kind of 5G educational infrastructure... its a hell of a better investment than the hundreds of billions per year we spend in the defense industrial complex on weapons that are essentially going to be rendered useless in the next 20 years. We piss away a pile of money on legacy weapons. F'ing stupid. (lobbies) jmho
I don't think she has so many radical ideas as a general lack of understanding how anything in finance works and how you would pay for those ideas. Here is an interview where they ask her how to pay for Medicare for All, and she just keeps saying "you just pay for it!" https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/06/ocasio-cortez-medicare-for-all-pay/ Don't come around here with all that pesky math! Edit, I take that back. A jobs guarantee is a bit extreme.
Is that where you keep your baby lotion in your woodshed? Speaking of: Dead brothel owner, wins his election in Nevada Guess which one.
The dem's ability to do anything substantial will be very limited. Trump can stonewall their subpoenas and they have no effective response, as Obama demonstrated. The biggest mistake Trump could make would be to work with cuck sellouts in the Senate to find compromises with the dem's on issues like DACA. His approach should be scorched earth, because that is what they will be doing.

Photo: Kevin D. Liles/Bloomberg News 78 Comments By Cameron McWhirter and Erica Snow Updated Nov. 7, 2018 12:46 p.m. ET Democrat Stacey Abrams was trailing in her historic bid to become the nation’s first female African-American governor, but her campaign said Wednesday morning that voting problems as well as uncounted absentee and provisional ballots could force a runoff. On a midmorning conference call, Ms. Abrams’s campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo said the campaign’s lawyers were checking with county election boards and considering litigation if necessary. “All options are on the table,” Ms. Groh-Wargo said, adding that any resolution of the election could take weeks or longer. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, Republican Scott Walker appeared to lose his race for a third term, but he hadn’t conceded defeat. Gov. Walker lost to Wisconsin Secretary of Education Tony Evers, according to the Associated Press. As of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, with more than 99% of precincts reporting, Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp led Ms. Abrams by about 67,000 votes out of about 3.9 million cast, according to unofficial results from Mr. Kemp’s office. That gave him 50.40% of the vote and Ms. Abrams 48.66%. A third candidate, Libertarian Ted Metz, had 0.94%. Under Georgia law, candidates in a general election must win more than 50% of the vote or the top two vote-getters must campaign in a runoff. Ms. Abrams told supporters at her election night gathering in Atlanta that she wasn’t conceding. “You’re going to have a chance to do a do-over,” she told voters. Mr. Kemp, speaking to supporters in Athens, Ga., early Wednesday morning said, “There are votes left to count, but we have a very strong lead... The math is on our side to win this election.” A Kemp spokesman didn’t return calls or texts for comment Wednesday morning. Counties must certify their results by Nov. 13 and the secretary of state’s office must certify the statewide totals by Nov. 20, according to a spokesman at the secretary of state’s office. Election 2018 Split Congress Poses New Obstacles for Trump Trump Claims 'Big Victory’ After Split Result Democrats Win Governor Races in Midwestern States as GOP Takes Florida 10 Takeaways From the 2018 Elections Democratic House Threatens Trump’s Business Agenda Meet the New Agenda Setters in the House Latest Updates See Full Election Results Ms. Abrams, 44 years old, a former minority leader in the state House, and Mr. Kemp, 54, battled each other over accusations of voter suppression and voter fraud for years, before either declared their candidacy for governor. During the campaign, Ms. Abrams repeatedly accused Mr. Kemp of trying to suppress minority voting, which he denied. Mr. Kemp accused her of trying to loosen voting rules so illegal immigrants might vote, a charge Ms. Abrams denied. Mr. Kemp drew support from Republican leaders, including President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and outgoing Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, who faces term limits. Despite allegations of voter suppression, Georgia’s active voter registrations have increased in recent years. An automatic voter-registration change on a state driver’s license form has brought in hundreds of thousands of new potential voters since 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported. In Wisconsin, Gov. Walker’s aides told supporters early Wednesday to expect a long fight and cited some damaged ballots that needed to be assessed. The Walker campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment Wednesday morning. Late in the race, Gov. Walker, who embraced President Trump after challenging him for the GOP nomination in 2016, said he would support increasing state funding for education, matching a proposal Mr. Evers, the state’s schools superintendent, made this summer. He also issued a statement reassuring voters that he supports requiring health insurers to cover people with pre-existing conditions. Mr. Evers has argued for rolling back Act 10, Gov. Walker’s signature bill that curbed union rights for state employees, as well as phasing out the state’s school voucher program. But both proposals appeared unlikely to succeed after the GOP maintained its control of both houses of the state legislature. Huge state incentives Gov. Walker granted to Foxconn, a Taiwanese supplier to Apple Computer Inc., also emerged as a campaign issue. Gov. Walker’s bid for a third term had been rated a tossup, despite the state’s thriving economy and 3% unemployment rate, below the national average of 3.7%. Supporters of Gov. Walker watched election results in a Pewaukee hotel for hours, booing when Democrat Tony Evers pulled ahead by a few thousand votes and hooting and hollering when the vote count seemed to swing back in Mr. Walker’s favor. In the early hours of Wednesday, Gov. Walker’s campaign aides told supporters that the race was too close to call despite unofficial results showing that he had lost by more than the 1% margin that would allow a losing candidate to request a recount, the AP reported. Voter turnout was the highest on record for a midterm election at just over 57 percent, according to Reid Magney, the public information officer for the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Mr. Evers led by about 31,000 votes with the unofficial counting mostly complete, according to the AP. —Kris Maher contributed to this article. Write to Cameron McWhirter at cameron.mcwhirter@wsj.com
Just what we need... more politically motivated Russia, Russia, Russia! Even a CNN poll found this is wearing thin: Exit polls: Majority of voters say Russia investigation 'politically motivated' https://washex.am/2qA57dP
Pelosi becomes the speaker, Trump wins again. Establishment democrats can be manipulated/compromised easily compared to socialist democrats.
