President goes the way of Loot Crate for his donors.

oh my god

these better just be boxes of bigly chew

Who wouldn't want to own such merchandise as presidentially verified photographs of his massive inaguration or a hilary clinton jail time action figure or a matryoshka doll?

If only Trump were a better man, he could have soooo much fun with this.

It may vary from subject to subject, but I don't think it's really to anyone's benefit to try and teach, say, a math class without homework. You're not gonna learn how to do integrals just by hearing a lecture.

I mean I'm talking about K-12 here - college is a totally different subject imo

In K-12 though I already was doing a ton of work in-class - doing homework was just like, redundant. I understand that doing something multiple times helps you drill it into your head better but I had no need for it, class time was already enough to do this

I don't agree with this at all. Not everyone can learn as quickly as you. I struggled on several subjects that I needed homework to reinforce.

I don't disagree that the amount of homework students have can be excessive, but it is definitely something that should exist.

it's so stupid that it has to work.

If he wasn't already going to pull out of Paris (like reports were indicating) I'm assuming he's decided to do so now out of pure spite

God, you'd think there would be an emergency "a narcissist toddler somehow got elected" button, but I guess not!

Okay, I guess that button exists, but it failed to account for the possibility of people too spineless and/or self interested to use it

I don't like Trump at all, but he's not wrong about the filibuster being stupid. I wouldn't like his agenda getting through Congress easier, but long term it would probably be better to get rid of it.

Considering how partisan politics is and how strongly Congressmen and women vote along party lines, I think the filibuster has become somewhat necessary as a check on the swing of party politics.

Donny, if the Dems would do it without a doubt, they would've done so 7 years ago and gotten the original version of Obamacare passed.

I agree with abolishing the filibuster. Or at least require actual nonstop talking.

For healthcare, maybe just repeal the individual mandate now, wait for the death spiral to happen, and in a few months come back and see if we can create something that doesn't involve balancing the budget of insurance companies on the backs of poor people?

Until we have a system of elections that allows for more than two major parties the fillibuster is a necessary evil. In the long run government only works if it's based on consensus and the fillibuster's virtue is that it forces consensus.

You could make up some weird rule like, get rid of the filibuster, but 10% from the minority parties must agree (so 5 non-Republicans in the Senate) along with a majority vote. Maybe it will decrease partisanship (or increase corruption/backroom deals)

I guess it could cause the entire government to freeze, but in theory this would cause another party willing to talk to rise up.

Well I think the idea here is to do "labs" for all of the subjects that need a lot of actual just doing the work to learn to lessen the need for homework. Which I approve of, especially since it really helps to level the playing field

Homework heavy subjects always disadvantage people with bad home lives. Adding lab sections to math really helps to alleviate this - especially since the student can ask a teacher to explain it again rather than relying on a parent who, like me, perhaps can't remember how to do integrals anymore.

Unfair to DSP - he is at least competent at his stated job - playing games for people to watch and be entertained by. I may not like his style, but he actually does deliver on creation of LPs.
