    Donald Trump slammed for cultural appropriation after wearing Jewish prayer shawl in Christian church

    a Trump spokesman first admits that Trump participates in "Pay for Play" deals, but then tries to justify it because he is a private citizen and *everyone* does it.

    • yuri, always there trying to troll memonospaced
    • what exactly are you defending mono?yurimon
    • you tell me, I have no idea what you're referring tomonospaced
    • name the crime, and show me where I've defended it, and then maybe we can have a normal discussion, but until then, you're just being a prickmonospaced
    • lol, ic amnesia, maybe you and hills have the the same health issues.yurimon
    • or, maybe you're just trying to get a rise out of me by making up some total bullshit, failing to produce it, and then insulting memonospaced
    • I have no idea why you would do that. I thought you were here to have some serious political debates, and you're just spouting your mouth at me.monospaced
    • not really, i just dont see if she is already having system errors in her dome, proven to get away with stuff, where normal people would get the book thrownyurimon
    • at them for the equivalent actions. how its beneficial to the people, including since you were so against cronyism in gov. just 2 months ago.yurimon

    • lolmonospaced
    • Mono and Yuri. The fucking Chuckle Brothers of QBN,face_melter
    • He's just being a prick though. Makes accusation and insults to get a rise out of me. Refuses to back it up. Changes subject. Yawn.monospaced
    • your posts and lack of reason are insulting enough, without my intervention. good day! sir!yurimon
    • You still haven't shown me where k defended a crime. My reasoning is leagues beyond yours. show me the evidence or you're just a prick.monospaced
    • 1) she admitted it, emails found on unauthorized location/server 2) similar cases 3) do the math. common sense.yurimon
    • And I didn't defend that. Here or anywhere. That makes your original accusation in this thread completely false. Thank you.monospaced
    • So when you say I'm "always defending the criminals," you were actually completely full of shit. Common sense agrees.monospaced
    • i'm sure you can justify about anything at this point regardless in where you have gone in the past year with your public scewl edu world viewyurimon
    • I'm sure you could name the crime and show me one example of me defending it too, except you're completely full of shit.monospaced
    • But you won't. You can't. Because it isn't true. You can continue to insult me, make up bullshit about me, but I'm still right and you're wrong. Sorry.monospaced
    • I don't know why you continue to attack me out of the blue. I am certainly not doing anything to you even remotely like that. Your aggression is misplaced.monospaced
    • mono its basic knowledge of what statute was violated in federal law. its not that hard dude. its not conspiracy.yurimon
    • and yet your accusation about me is no more true than when you first typed it because you're completely full of shitmonospaced
    • Sorry. Argue all you want, but you're wrong. It's okay to be wrong. Just try not to insult so much okay? Makes you sound stupid.monospaced
    • in your dreams. its already basic knowledge.yurimon
    • And yet you can't show me how I am defending that, because you're just being a troll.monospaced

    Hey yurimon this is for you

    http://www.rense.com/general33/s…

    • thanks, also based on Bavarian system. i hope some other qbnr's read this.yurimon
    • How many times have you quit QBN this week?utopian
    • i'm quitting now.yurimon
    • i appreciated the quotes of that gatto guy the rest of it was bordering on unreadableterry_cloth
    • yea his summation might have his own tune. but the source he cites was too long for anyone to concern themselves with which was the meatdeathboy
    • but i find the first paragraph quite interesting since dewey is the so called father of american education. he might have setup the perfect conditioning systemdeathboy
    • *her *she and did dewey say that?terry_cloth
    • own tune or not, that was a garbled messterry_cloth
    • quotes of a quote, who knows if word for word but sounds right from what ive read. only garbled mess to me was bush stuff. should have regarded any leaderdeathboy
    • the rest maybe im more familiar with so it seems less garbled. There's books written on the points he touches on. One thing ive learned is people if interesteddeathboy
    • will pursue more info. like im interested to read more from gatto from the article. id like to read more from his perspective and add it to minedeathboy
    • my current interest is really looking at our current education system and perceived values of it. the foundation. that tied in with new media we have never leardeathboy
    • ned to process or understand. and its helping me understand the only outcome is a person like trump or hillary. and might take 60 years to turn it arounddeathboy
    • if its even possible to change the our education system. might be harder than getting a long term junkie off heroindeathboy
    • see, your writing is a garbled mess too, the difference is that the author of that link had plenty of time to edit and still failed to present her ideas clearlyterry_cloth
    • Really? Which parts of mine or even which parts of the article? I try to keep it to few characters because medium dictates it.deathboy
    • If i were to guess it would be new media which is in reference to neil postman writings on technology and politics. and my outcome which is cumulative of toodeathboy
    • much info, and more of a perspective which I didn't really think might be shared and was more thinking out loud.deathboy
    • I've wrote more in depth on specific things here and there on QBN. I guess i make the mistake thinking those have been read.deathboy
    • Maybe this medium is a better tool for reflection of ideas than communication of them. and of course tits and cool photos.deathboy
    • It's not that, it's more about unclear sentence structureterry_cloth
    • Makes it a chore to read and is easily remedied by taking a moment before you hit saveterry_cloth
    • Yea well some of it is on purpose to shorten word count and also Im a bad writer. Im much better with comprehension. but i can try to clarify anything thatdeathboy
    • doesn't make sense or is too much of a chore. even though reading is kind of a chore. its a process of rapidly guessing. easier to guess ones own words i guessdeathboy
    • Usually you are pretty clear, today wasn't your day. Just take your timeterry_cloth

    Has anyone else been following the Brexit announcement?

    Can help but think that the Tories have painted themselves into a bit of a corner.

    Possible outcomes...

    We end up staying in the EU via another mechanism to ensure access to the single market with some free movement. Leavers go ape. It all kicks off again, resignations and another referendum. Everyone laughs at us.

    They punt a full Brexit, the city shits itself and tells them no way, they then have to back track and it all kicks off again, resignations and another referendum. Everyone laughs at us.

    I just can't see a government in the pocket of big finance risking London's world financial capital status on a full article 50 brexit.

    Plenty of big names hinting at abandoning the UK. We have no real manufacturing base. We're a service economy.

    Everyone follows the money.

    Either way, the UKs reputation is mince.

    • Also, any kind of brexit won't get past the Lords or even the house. We could see our 'unelected bureaucrats' veto it. Which would be a glorious irony.monoboy

    In a press release, ITT Educational Services announced it would close all campuses of its ITT Technical Institutes. The for-profit college system has become a household name over the past half-century. The company blamed the shutdown on the U.S. Department of Education, which had stepped up oversight of the school and recently imposed tough financial sanctions.

    • so an entity (gov) that wants everyone to go to college thinks a college let people in who didnt qualify? lol.yurimon
    • seems like they don't like competitiondeathboy
    • sounds like it. seems things will get worse before it gets better. i wonder how much of this type of stupidity will people take.yurimon
    • historically speaking until it all collapses. and hopefully a leader arises with sense for people to follow. historically usually another scumbag rises.deathboy
    • so probably not good but that's life. question ill have to make in a couple years is do i want to bring a kid into the cycle. would make adapting harderdeathboy
    • well adjusted vs sane. depends where. there places or pockets of sanity in certain communities. question is where. some people leave the country if they dontyurimon

    • I wonder how long the Art Institute schools will last? I heard they've already closed a few of their schools.fooler
    • A shit educational scam...sorta' like Trump University without the headpiece.utopian
    • i'd argue there is more scam in regular college than a technical college. and they have more recruiters including most politiciansdeathboy
    • either way its bad that gov his tightening its monopoly on educationdeathboy
    • so if very few people graduating ITT can't find a job and the gov keep paying their tuition, the gov is dumb and broken.utopian
    • If the gov cuts off funding for a school that is clearly a scam, then the gov hates competition and wants to be a monopoly.utopian
    • what about community college by your logic they all should be closed down.yurimon

    • why is the government singling out a for profit college when the same can be said about any college? is it a fault of the school or the students?deathboy
    • why is the government propping up some and hurting others. because of special interests?deathboy
    • 3 thinks to get ext edu back to normal is get rid of non profit status, no gov accreditations, no backed loansdeathboy
    • plus there was no due process, a gov agency just made a ruling.yurimon
    • by that logic they should shut down most art colleges utopyurimon
    • I doubt you even need accreditations. most of that is scam. look at moodys triple A stamps on CDOs and why they did that.deathboy
    • hell most employers still need proof of jobs and do tests to see if you know what you say. or internships out of school. that is real accreditationdeathboy
    • heres the bigger irony. Its dept of education involvement in providing loans.
      1. causes higher edu costs by creating artificial demand. 2. controls methods
      yurimon
    • and re read that article utopian and ask yourself about the statements, wether it applies and how it does. that article is pure PR bias.deathboy
    • of admissions which would label anything performance based as discrimination. imagine if colleges actually had to compete.yurimon
    • id actually think accreditation is simple business ploy to prevent competition. protectionism 101deathboy
    • it sounds to me like the institute was no different then any other college that is accustomed to high hand out of gov loans. just was became a targetyurimon
    • yup. im sure it involves special interests on the nonprofit side. also noticed a big WGU push here lately. Maybe help grow them and there pocketsdeathboy

    Florida AG asked Trump for donation before nixing fraud case

    http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e…

    Florida's attorney general personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump around the same time her office deliberated joining an investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University and its affiliates

    The new disclosure from Attorney General Pam Bondi's spokesman to The Associated Press on Monday provides additional details around the unusual circumstances of Trump's $25,000 donation to Bondi.

    The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi's re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi's office publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University's activities, according to a 2013 report in the Orlando Sentinel.

    After the check came in, Bondi's office nixed suing Trump, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

    Bondi declined repeated requests for an interview on Monday.

    • Crooked Trumpyuekit
    • Who is more crooked Trump or the Florida AG. The AG is the rule maker and solicited Trump. Like a mexican cop. Are you bad for paying the bribe?deathboy
    • So in this case trump is more Deutsche bank and it should be Crooked Pamdeathboy
    • I have more contempt for the initiators and ones in powerdeathboy
