Casual Observation

We live in dark times:

Members of a special team at the Education Department that had been investigating widespread abuses by for-profit colleges have been marginalized, reassigned or instructed to focus on other matters, according to current and former employees.

The unwinding of the team has effectively killed investigations into possibly fraudulent activities at several large for-profit colleges where top hires of Betsy DeVos, the education secretary, had previously worked.

There is very little light left.

8. Their end game - destroy public eduction and create a nation of ignorant serfs.

No rights, no money, no healthcare, so ignorant serfs will work for net to nothing until they get sick or injured and die. That is their true end game - a barons and serfs model and guess which we are? they want to turn us into Russia with Russia calling all the shots and the USA essentially becoming a vasal state of the oligarchs. That is the true desire. That is part of the reason for the hatred of abortion, they want lots of poor babies and desperate moms and dads.

“Better to keep you in line, my dearie.”

4. We now return you to regular schedule: "Hookers, and Jews and Muqtadas...oh my!"

This story has 23 recs at the moment...no one is reading these articles or paying attention to the fact that the country is on fire and Trump is pissing gasoline in all directions. Instead, our press dutifully runs around and covers everything Trump does that carries any shock value.

It is like the campaign never ended and the press is still doing exactly what they did in 2015-2016 to normalize an idiot right into the Oval Office.

7. Crowd-source it to citizen researchers/journalists!

There should be lots of people willing to spill the beans.

9. So depressing.

Betsy DeVos is Satan. I want to see her locked up with the rest of them. You just know that family has a ton of skeletons in their closet.
