So she said. From what I've seen of Dr's the interview is more like a pulse check than a road block. ("OK, put her in the quiet Asians pile.") (Is it racist to say that Asians of middling ability make up a good chuck of the applicant pool? Less racist than believing those Asians are actually more intelligent than other minorities who do not?)

I want the option to not have to buy newspaper subscriptions individually. I get enough spam, my CC information is spread out enough, and I'd rather deal with one customer service department instead of a half-dozen. Obviously newspapers are never going to do away with a la carte for people who want that.

Also presumably this package would be cheaper than buying the subs individually - since a) the paper's cost per-subscriber for online-only is essentially zero and b) smaller ****tier websites would probably pay to be part of the bundle with the big boys.

Does anyone know anyone at NYT, WaPo or WSJ I can pitch this idea to?

I'm not going by her statements, I'm going by her grades and MCAT score and how she got a lot of interviews, but couldn't ever get accepted. A lot of my friends only got interviews out of province, she got quite a few in province.
Our friends knew it was because of her lack of social skills (she's white), also we thought it was a bad idea in the first place for her to be a doctor because she's very squeamish. Unsure if that is tested in anyway in the interviews

Merkle is probably doing three things with her statement: it's great domestic politics before an election (same with massive appearance with Obama last weekend), it's good EU politics (you need zee Germans; don't vote for nationalists), and it's true. The Germans are not a humorous people, but there's at least a little trolling in her remarks. I suspect she assumes the US will be back to a reliable ally in 4 years or less.

Are you in Canada? I believe the comments you were responding to (which I happen to disagree with as well) we probably made with USA#1 docs in mind. Of course, I'm not sure since I didn't make them.

I may not have the best head for business but I'm not really seeing the incentive for smaller outlets to pay to be part of some omnibus news platform. That risks advertisers they're carrying jumping ship to cut out the middleman; as smaller outlets they don't have any kind of juice in terms of audience retention/loyalty.

So it turns out that Russia won the cold war after all. GG Murica.

Look out boys we've got a wonk in the White House now

Stop dude. Why you tryin to kill newspaper neutrality?

Just add more dollars! Why didn't anyone else think of that?

Lol not so complicated after all. Who knew?

We don't need to charge the tax payer for these "more dollars." We can just print them. Our weak leaders have never thought of this before. So simple.

Yeah. I think the plan is to make me add more dollars.

President Donald Trump has been aggressively working the phones since returning this weekend from his foreign trip, talking to friends and outside lawyers as he obsesses over the deepening investigations into his aides and Russia.

Two White House officials said Trump and some aides including Steve Bannon are becoming increasingly convinced that they are victims of a conspiracy against Trump's presidency, as evidenced by the number of leaks flowing out of government — that the crusade by the so-called “deep state” is a legitimate threat, not just fodder for right wing defenders

Story 30 mins old. Can't wait for him to read it and start wondering who around him snitched about what he has done today. Just a complete clown, and clown show

How many more dollars do you think Trump thinks are needed? My guess is 20 million. Prob the upper bound on his estimate is in the low billions. Nothing can possibly cost more money than he has.

Also for more lolz

"Shortly after he returned, he seemed agitated about negative press about him."

lol @ the healthcare tweet

Ryan, etc saying shutup you clown, we got this

Put down your Wapos, here is the real story.

Maybe not. But I know some networks pay to be part of cable packages.

its a bit funny why he would write something like that. me might just be so desperate to diminish obama that he might even turn against conservative principles just for that reason, since the other "health care" bill is stuck in the senate and cant pass to push out obamas health care.

a long shot could also be what i proposed for him to do for his presidency to survive if things get bad on the russia thing, namely to start pushing hard for single payer. if hes doing that the congress democrats will talk down the investigation. it could be a way to survive his presidency if it gets bad, but a long shot anyways.

That trip threw off his 3 am tweet game. It's almost 4 in Jerusalem right now though. It will take a few days to get back to normal I guess.

Even if there will be another US administration in 4 years that will honor their obligations and stand by their allies the rest of the world is now aware that this can change anytime and the US cannot be relied upon.
All the more reason for a united Europe that is strong enough to handle Russia, China, terrorism etc. Unfortunately the UK decided it would rather go the opposite route.

It's amazing to think that it's Sunday night, a warm night at the white house. Our president is sitting there probably watching fox news and angrily tweeting at the world, probably with 3 scoops of ice cream. It's kind of surreal when you type the words out. He started tweeting at 8am and now 12 hours later he is still sitting there just tweeting.

Very nervous about the incoming response to Merkel. Will probably call her "that woman" and start a war with them

Yeah, its not really about the President. It's about a large chunk of the US being willing to vote for someone like Trump.

to be honest, if trump was on the left-wing running for the democrats and it was him vs one of the GOP guys in the general election i would have voted for him. also true if it was a left wing equivalent of sarah palin.

not in the primaries of course, so its true alot of republicans chose him over other gop candidates there.

but in the general election the thing is that the "other side" is so reluctant for most people that they would rather vote for their own candidate even if he/she is pretty damn dumb. thats how polarized it is.


edit: or maybe not, im not sure tbh :S the thing is that he could have been a danger to the democracy but at the same time letting the gop win would be pretty bad, so not sure.
