The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 3813 - Politics and Economics

Zinke was way before my time, but when I was at Oregon football players had to go to class but had tutors who would do all their assignments. I doubt it was any harder for Zinke to pass his classes.

On the other hand, he was on the team that tied Oregon State 0-0. The Ducks sucked enough back then they might have had standards.

Zinke's major was "rocks for jocks".

[Not slamming geology, as it's often a solid scientific major, but sometimes, well, not so much.]

This is what it was called at Alabama when I was there, so I signed up thinking it would be a chill way to satisfy one of my science pre reqs. It was not an easy A by any stretch. Our very first lab exam consisted of a blank sheet of paper numbered 1-100 and a box on the table in front of us containing 100 rocks. The test was to identify each rock. I got about 25 of them correct and dropped the course when we got our grades the next class.

but i understand what you mean, i almost failed "independent study-world art" because i showed up to the final and it had 20 paintings/sculptures and said name the piece/artist/period/and 1 historical fact from that period. i think the professor just passed me because she saw i was a graduating senior.

That's 16 more pages than is permitted for a standard summary judgment motion.

I wish they'd stop putting all the collusion in black. Manafort's new nickname should be Captain Redacted.

I'm guessing Halperin is not on the show anymore. Is the other buffoon?

The election season was infuriating to watch real time. Just people who parrot the empty wisdom of 90s era pundits about diners and "momentum" and whatever other bs. It was cool to see some of the behind the scenes of the events, but man there was very little critical analysis.

Seeks like a pretty understated watch. What's the problem? That it's effeminate? That it's gold?

( I'm in the "all watches are dumb" camp)

Maybe that's why Melania won't hold his hand. "Get that tacky watch away from me!"

Couple of notes:

1) The bold and capitalization emphasis is his, not mine.

2) That $1 donation is not a copy/paste error. There's actually a 2ND $1 button after the closing, for people who avoided clicking all the other buttons above it.

3) Lastly, "In two years, there's been no evidence of collusion" is pretty strange phrasing if there was indeed no collusion between the campaign and Russia. Downplaying the Trump Jr meeting/emails and other Manafort, Kushner, CA, backchannel, etc. stuff aside, people who really didn't collude would just say so, and not be proud as a peacock that more direct and damning evidence hasn't hit the public yet.

4) This reeks of more nervous desperation than any of the tweets we've seen so far.

5) Subject line is hilarious.

Also, he's been in office 15 months, not two years.
