The Trump Presidency - how I stopped worrying and learned to love the Hair

Just ask Dr. Evil.
 
Fair point. And $1m is roughly the equivilant of $27 to the average american in terms of % of wealth, but the less you make, the less % you have of your total as "disposable" income.
 
There is also a difference between a loan and a donation. Just like there is a difference between spending a million dollars on a yacht and spending a million dollars on a widget spinner.

Yeah... and if every American gives $27 on average, cleaning up the mess would be helped a long way.
If Trump does follow through with the donation, good and commendable. Past performance just indicates he won't actually use his own money.
That being said, political actions are worth way way more - for example, nixing Obama-era mandates for climate change considerations when building things.

You mean like donating 3 months Presidential salary to the Department of Education...about $78,000, while proposing $9 BILLION dollar cuts to the same department for his 2018 budget?
 
The DoE may be moving to restore some semblance of presumption of innocence to rape claims on campus.

?There must be a better way forward,? DeVos said during her speech. ?Every survivor of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously. Every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined.?

DeVos emphasized sexual assault is a grave matter and claims must be taken seriously. However, she said feedback she has received from all sides, including administrators, shows the system is broken.

?The Office for Civil Rights has ?terrified? schools,? DeVos said she was informed. ?Another said that no school feels comfortable calling the department for simple advice, for fear of putting themselves on the radar and inviting an investigation.?

?The era of ?rule by letter? is over,? she added, referring to the ?Dear Colleague? letter from the Obama Administration.

Sent to some 4,600 universities across the nation in 2011, the letter told college officials to use the lowest possible burden of proof when reviewing assault claims, fast-track cases, and discouraged cross-examining accusers.

?Through intimidation and coercion, the failed system has clearly pushed schools to overreach,? DeVos said.

She also took aim at the notion that there are victims on only one side. She cited several cases in which accused students have been railroaded.

?This conversation has too often been framed as a contest between men and women or the rights of sexual misconduct survivors and the due process rights of accused students,? DeVos said. ?The reality is, however, a different picture. There are men and women, boys and girls, who are survivors, and there are men and women, boys and girls who are wrongfully accused.?

For several years, there has indeed been a War on Due Process waged by feminists, academics, politicians, and the press.



Fortunately, even in the cases popularized by feminists themselves, in actual courts of law the myth of a Western "rape culture" tends to perform poorly vs real-world evidence:

A source involved at the national level with the fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, tells TheDC that Rolling Stone will pay $1.65 million to settle the defamation suit.

The magazine?s decision follows a settlement in April with Nicole Eramo, a University of Virginia associate dean who was also smeared in the article, which was written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely.

Erdely portrayed Eramo as dismissive of Coakley?s case. But it was later revealed that Coakley not only fabricated the attack by the fraternity members but that Eramo took her allegations seriously at the time she made them.

A jury in Virginia awarded Eramo $3 million in damages ? $2 million from Erdely and $1 million from Rolling Stone.

In the statement, Katz said she and Boermeester have dated for more than a year. The Title IX investigation began, Steigerwalt said, after a neighbor witnessed Boermeester and Katz roughhousing. The neighbor told his roommate, who told a coach in USC?s athletic department that Boermeester was abusing Katz. The coach then reported the incident to the Title IX office.

Katz said she was summoned to a mandatory meeting with Title IX officials, where she told investigators that the two were playing around. Katz was subsequently told that she ?must be afraid of Matt,? she said. She told officials she was not. Boermeester has not been arrested or charged with a crime.

?When I told the truth about Matt, in repeated interrogations, I was stereotyped and was told I must be a ?battered? woman, and that made me feel demeaned and absurdly profiled,? Katz said.
 
Logistically, it's far easier to supply food in bulk to a group than meds. Generally speaking, every soldier can eat the same thing, if necessary. Medications are individualized. If a soldier isn't able to carry his/her own supply, it would be a nightmare to make sure each person got their correct meds, and even more difficult, if not impossible to do it in active combat situations. It's hard enough to do it in a controlled environment like a hospital.

On a side note, missing hormone therapy for a few days isn't going to make much, if any, difference. (Yes, I'm a doctor.)
 
...and 100% of Florida's votes went to Trump electors are republican :dunno:
FTFY - The votes of voters themselves certainly didn't go 100% to Trump. That means there is a chance that at least some of those people who decided to "shoot the storm" didn't vote for Trump. ;)
 
 
Tell me we can all agree that Mnuchin is a piece of shit and should be canned for requesting use of a government jet (25k per hour) for his honeymoon trip to Europe.
 
No complaint from me.
