Here's the state of play:
Colleges having race/ethnicity as one part of college admission/scholarship process: woke and the worst kind of prejudice imaginable

The most frustrating thing I have with the Trump admin right now is how long it's going to take for people to feel the effects. By the time the effects are felt, people will forget who did it.

I'll preface that 1) I know revisions always happen 2) I don't have the memory of typical revisions. How can a jobs report overstate total new jobs by between 80 and 90%?! How can we even trust the already low numbers reported for July?

A couple square pegs and round holes I need some help with

It seems that Dems have two options:
1) Do nothing and let GOP do whatever they want
