Does this mean that JD Vance is going to sit on the couch in the Oval Office and chastise European leaders for not being appreciative and thanking the United States?

When every teacher everywhere listened to JD Vance say,
Vance: “I’ve actually watched and seen the stories ...
Heard Student: "I've actually watched the movie and skimmed the Sparknotes..."

On CNN the talking heads are wondering if the dems will make a show at Tuesday's address. I think they should be decorous--but arrive wearing the uniforn of the Ukrainian military--that is, dress like Zelensky.

Denver Riggleman talking with Michael Steele who comments about seeing JD Vance on a couch in the Oval. And then Denver Riggleman comments, "you propbaly shouldn't put JD Vance and couch in the same sentence."

Maybe they didn't teach enough European history at Penn and Yale. Or maybe Trump and Vance are just idiots.

I'd pay good money to watch Rosa DeLauro kick a little Musk and/or Ramaswamy ass.

So, with Linda McMahon in the DOE and Vince likely with a gig of his own, will the members of Trump's cabinet start rocking ring names?

As a teacher educator, for the past few years I have "wrestled" (sorry) with suggesting students pursue a career in education (my career for more than three decades). No longer. I cannot with good conscience recommend teaching as a career.
Trump Chooses Linda McMahon, a Longtime Ally, for Education Secretary
A friend and financial backer of Donald J. Trump’s, Ms. McMahon, who led the Small Business Administration during his first term, remained close to him during the campaign.

My dad talks about growing up as a kid in NYC. About being on the corner and waiting to cross. He'd turn to the closest adult and say, "Hey, mister, can you cross me? Hey, lady, can you cross me?" Something so simple. Nostalgia is simple that way.

Bill Kristol on The Bulwark comments, “separation of powers, like we all learned in 10th grade.” And there it is: are we teaching sufficiently about governing & government? As an English professor & teacher educator, I feel this sense of guilt for what voters don’t seem to know or have not learned.

I sign up, and the first three posts I see are Mark Cuban, Molly Jong Fast, and Jack Smith. Heavy (and happy/hopeful) sigh.
