That sounds more private than public (even if the government runs the program).

No, it's definitely public. It's even at the public elementary school (Where they'll be starting next year)

I mean you pay when you go to the DMV.

But there's still an extra charge for enrollment?

Here you pay based on how many days your kids go to pre-school. Between 2 and 5 days a week. (We send our two five days a week, because we want them to get the most out of it.)

Not sure how it is elsewhere, but here (Massachusetts) public preschool is mainly for kids with special needs. Roughly half the kids in each class are special needs, and they get in based on need and availability. Their families don't pay because the school gets Medicaid funding for them.

The rest of the kids are typical, which helps the special needs kids because they model skills & behavior, and as far as I know it's basically a lottery to determine who gets a spot. Their families pay because Medicaid doesn't.

So Equifax was breached, ~150M Americans had their personal info including SSN's, B-days, and names comprimised, and what did the top three financial people at the company do just a few days after they discovered it but before they revealed it?

Did you guess sell off shares totaling approximately $1.8M?

And they weren't part of any scheduled 10b5-1 scheduled trades. Blatant insider trading that will probably have fuck all repercussions for these fucks.

That is pretty damn shady.

That is definitely illegal and I hope they are charged for it.

Trump has a message to Republicans upset that he's working with Dems now

https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/906135414498631680
https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/906136682952568832

Republicans, sorry, but I've been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn't happen! Even worse, the Senate Filibuster Rule will....
...never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control - will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!

NOW can we impeach him?
---

So I imagine Dems told him that they can "fix" Obamacare?

Are there enough Republicans that would vote for it if Trump told them to?

You want to impeach him for reaching across the row to try and enable bipartisan support and legislature?

Seems a tad silly. Lol

I assume he's making a joke based on the fact that Republicans are likely a lot more willing to go along with impeachment, now.

it's an interesting/hilarious idea. Trump can lie and threaten nuclear war and everything else and that's okay but then he votes with the democrats and everyone kicks him to the curb.

I want a video to come out where Trump has a knife in his back and a hooded figure whispers in his ear "I want you to know it was me", followed by the hood coming off and revealing Chuck Schumer
---

I am not horribly surprised. Trump was always a borderline democrat before anyways.

If he can accomplish the legislature I want to see, I do not care which side he accomplishs it by.

Tax Cut
Corporate taxes lowered
Infrastructure bill
Stronger immigration policies
Leveling trade playing fields. (Plays a lot into corporate tax)
Lessening of environmental regulations in aspects.
Strengthening of military and lessening of federal aid to other countries and welfare at home.
Repeal obamacare

trump was a democrat flat-out before!
---

between this and the hurricanes, Trump's having maybe his best PR month since taking office. if he loves the coverage as much as I think, he might go further in working with democrats where he can.
---

I'd be more enthusiastic with a president working with the other side (no matter which side that may be) if it didn't just reek of ego and spite.

To be fair to Rush (ew) he basically said that liberals are using the hurricane to push the "climate change agenda."

Why do conservatives hate the environment so much?

I mean I get that they love money. That's understandable. I mean it's what gives them power. But no matter how much money they have, they can't buy fresh air. And while they can buy fresh water--they won't be able to when it's all polluted up.

And for as nice as it is to have Donald on a liberal position or two, his conservative stances aren't why he should be impeached. Enjoying the nod to DACA, sure, but god speed to Mueller and any injustices he can bring to an end (assuming there are injustices).

Just wondering if he feels it is "instant karma" that Florida is getting a hurricane right after he said they deserved one and Florida too.


I saw the tweet before but the gist was...

The professor also declared that Florida residents who voted for Trump “deserve” the suffering visited upon Texas by Hurricane Harvey this weekend.
---

One commenter asked Mr Storey if Trump supporters in Florida deserved a similar fate.

“Yep, those who voted for him here deserve it as well,” Mr Storey replied.

I mean I'm definitely fine not knowing his every thought on these matters. Let's not make every asshole into a celebrity.

There's three main factors that feed into GOP climate denial:

1) An awful lot of Republicans are also Evangelicals, who believe the end of the world is near, the book of Revelations is literal truth, and that the environment doesn't matter because they're going to be Raptured up to heaven any day now.

2) Environmental protections mean environmental regulations, which hurt corporations' bottom lines. Republicans are the party of big business; ergo, GOP politicians can solicit or earn big corporate donations by pretending we aren't fucking up the world and haven't already fucked it up irreperably.

3) Liberals believe in climate change, and for a not-insignificant number of Republicans anything liberals believe in is automatically wrong and evil.

So to answer your question, I don't think anyone actually hates the environment - it's just that they have (for them) adequate reasons to not care about protecting it.

Listing that as a major factor of that is ridiculous. Most people who believe the end of the world is coming don't sit there and think fuck the environment let's destroy it if we have to go. Lol. It is a beyond ridiculous comment.

Again. Listing that as a major proponent is rdiculous. Though less silly than the 1st.

People like that do exist but most people have actual reasons for what they believe in.

This is no different than someone in these topics saying a Liberal can't commit a hate crime and that it automatically makes them a part of the right.

Do people act this stupid way? Yes. Is it a major proponent? Nope.

You realize that by saying 1 and 3 don't count, you're saying that 100% of the reason for the GOP denying climate change is:

2) Environmental protections mean environmental regulations, which hurt corporations' bottom lines. Republicans are the party of big business; ergo, GOP politicians can solicit or earn big corporate donations by pretending we aren't fucking up the world and haven't already fucked it up irreperably.

So you're literally saying they're all greedy assholes who give no shits.
