Since Cohn wasn't on the list I went Tillerson. He's been showing sings of reason and that ain't good in Trumpland.

for thread title staying the same.

Tillerson seems like the obvious choice imo. Other votes so far are for Miller or Conway. I don't see how either of them would go, because neither is ever going to do anything which pisses off Daddy.

Wouldn't the bet that Miller gets fired be the same reason for firing Bannon? Sure, maybe Trump likes Miller, but his babysitter generals apparently have hiring/firing authorities. Seems like a sneaky bet they fire Miller for being too deplorable ala Bannon.

Miller keeps a lower profile than Bannon and probably isn't so connected to Deplorable America so he probably doesn't leak as much either and stays off Trump's general babysitters' radar.

From the "NCAA and college sports are the worst" file: The toll paid by a Florida State TA who fought back against boosting grades for the terrible assignments turned in by football players

spoiler: she loses her job and overdoses on drugs after a back surgery

I highly recommend clicking through at least to see the side by side screenshots of work that FSU football players turned in next to the webpages that they copied and pasted their papers from, or for gems like this:

Another player turned in writing of his own that was barely grade-school level. “Brazilian coffee is one of few places that has a carnival and the coffee place a major role just as much as the dancing and the food,” he wrote.

The school settled Jameis Winston's case for nearly $1mil. And somehow he is the honorary captain for the FSU vs Ala game. Can't say my school has any shame.

Full disclosure: I watch and enjoy college football and am a season ticket holder for a college football team

Reading that work is sad and an indictment of the schools and the system perpetuated by sham amateurism, not the students. The students should be getting paid but since they aren't getting that, they are at least due best efforts to educate them. Not shuffled to advisers and through a system who help them meet minimum requirements and get them to do the bare minimum/cheat to keep themselves on the field, and then are left to their devices with garbagey degrees and little formal, decent education.

Remember the whole promise of the people who organize and control college athletics (mostly rich white administrators and their partners in the media) is that football players don't get paid with money but with education and degrees. In exchange football players get brain damage / cracked skulls, damaged limbs and joints, and the chance to be the ~1-2% who make it to the NFL where only even a subset of that group will have an extremely lucrative career. Second best outcomes involve getting funneled back into the feedback loop of coaching at various levels of the system where you can migrate from getting taken advantage of to also getting paid to profit from someone else's work. All other outcomes are what the students can make of it themselves while admin/coaches/etc. steer and cajole them into joke programs and advisers and assistants who keep the education light so they can focus on sportsball.

Since the schools themselves by and large treat the education part of big time college athletics as a huge joke, they're the ones not upholding the bargain. The students are double victims: told they can't get paid, they are offered instead an education, but the people who insist they can't get paid don't even bother with the education either. That's the heinous thing and what these episodes make very clear.

Sorry, my post probably came across that way but I'm fully on board with the problem here being the schools, not the students.

Santa Cruz restaurant shuts down over backlash to owner's donations to David Duke campaign

shun these ****ers back into hiding

Quote:
Roger Grigsby, owner of O’mei Szechuan Chinese Restaurant, said on Wednesday that he made several donations adding up to $500 to the U.S. Senate campaign of Louisiana’s David Duke during his unsuccessful 2016 run.
...
“They spread the gossip, they spread it as if it’s truth. All the things they called me: white supremacist, neo-Nazi, KKK — it’s all bull****,” Grigsby said by phone. “My girlfriend and my former wife were both Chinese. Anybody who knows me, it’s like the United Colors of Benetton in our restaurant. We’ve had every ethnicity.”
Oh, ok, he's not racist, glad we cleared that up. But then why is he interested in the David Duke campaign?

Quote:
“He is defending the civil rights of European-Americans, whites, defending them from attacks against them,” Grigsby said of Duke. “If you can’t see that in the media, I don’t know what to tell you. The very word, ‘white supremacist’ is an attack. Nobody calls Mexicans and blacks and Chinese ‘Nazis.’ They only call white people ‘Nazis.’ The idea there is to make guilt by association of two words. White people and evil Nazis.”
Ohhhhhhhhhh.

Re Maggie's Mates

I'm no expert in the UK, but I believe the line about going down the mines with your grandad would have been very noticable at the time.
