It’s not universally agreed upon, but I understand that the earliest doctorates were arguably teaching degrees to teach latin.
Rep Gonzales feels he is still worthy enough to serve out the 8 months left in his term! It will give him plenty of time to find a nice feather bed position to land in till this blows over !
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT).drops out of his reelection campaign, for which he had previously been unopposed in the primary, exactly five minutes after another candidate filed to run, and three minutes before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Congressman Riley Moore (R-WV) says James Talarico is “demonic” because he doesn’t think God has a dick and balls.
You see? I said it before and it just becomes more clear every minute.
The Republicans are so across afraid of Democrats they are rejecting Democracy.
How many of those pissed off Republican Montanans will still vote for Kurt Alme? Hint: the amount that don’t could probably be counted on two hands.
I don’t agree.
Never forget the number of people who simply see a ballot in terms of
- SomeName SomeName (R)
SomeOthernName SomeOtherName (D)
One hell of a lot of otherwise sane Republicans did exactly that this last time. At the most thoughtful those folks got, their “thinking” amounted to “The worst possible R is better than the best possible D”.
In Montana Daines and Almes are in a dead heat to having an (R) after their name and that’s literally all that matters.
I dunno… Montana does sometimes elect Democrats for Senators or Governor. Jon Tester’s term only just ended last year.
Hegseth to 60 Minutes: “THE STREETS WILL RUN RED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE NON-BELIEVERS! DEUS VULT! KILL 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT!”
In the clip, Hegseth was asked about reports that Russia is assisting [Iran] in targeting Americans and whether that would place U.S. personnel in greater danger.
"No one’s putting us in danger,” Hegseth replied in the interview, set to air Sunday. “We’re putting the other guys in danger. That’s our job. So we’re not concerned about that.”
“The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re going to live,” Hegseth said.
In my long ago HR manager days, I worked at a company which hired both bartenders and bartendresses from the Philippines. Somehow ensuring the title was gendered got around any discrimination legislation.
Didn’t some talking head on, IIRC, the Felon’s News Network (aka Fox) get their tush handed to them for jumping on that bandwagon and it turned out their spouse, again IIRC, also had a non-medical doctorate degree and said talking head insisted on referring to the spouse as Doctor?
I think you misread me. I’m saying the same thing. These R constituents are angry about the trick preventing a fair primary and voter selection, but when the election rolls around, not a damn one will even abstain from voting over the issue. They will fall in line and vote R, because that’s all that matters.
In not saying nobody will sit out the election. I’m saying that the reason won’t have anything to do with this event.
I realize this is something that is hard to measure so we can’t know for sure, but I still feel like this event won’t be the factor that decides the election.
Let’s be clear about the stakes. This is a war that on one side is an autocratic state lead by power-mad religious extremists, and the other side is Iran.
That’s because, as everyone knows, separate but equal is sound legal doctrine.

Pete “I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS” Hegseth doesn’t speak English, he speaks American.
To be fair, since that is not a correct English sentence . . . ol’ Pete is right.
I believe that language is spelled and pronounced “Merkin”, a word that works on multiple levels.
At least one of them below the belt.
I believe this was at the same conference where Trump refused to “learn their damn language”. In Trump’s case, I can understand a 79 year old having exactly zero interest in learning a second language, but leave it to him to be an asshole about it. And, as best as I can tell, based on skimming a few articles, it’s not even like a reporter asked him about it or goaded him into saying it, but rather he just…announced it. If anything, it seemed to stem from some jealousy over Marco Rubio’s ability to speak Spanish and/or Rubio being able to spend more time in Spanish speaking countries because he can speak Spanish…or something like that, maybe?
In any case, I remember Dan Quayle saying he didn’t speak Latin, while in Latin America. But at least in his case he wasn’t being an asshole (an idiot, but not an asshole), but rather apologizing for not knowing ‘their’ language better and not being able to have a conversation with them.
(You’ll have to excuse me if I’m missing any context there, I was about 10 years old at the time).
You speak as if Trump is even capable of “learning”.
An aside, hopefully not leading to a thread hijack…
I am getting on in years, though I am well behind Trump in age, I would improve my (very basic) Portuguese by shifting to the relatively similar Spanish - possibly only because Spanish is the second sexiest language, preceded only by French (at which I am beginner level)
I like languages, and speak at very varying degrees of fluency in about 6. English, French, Portuguese, chiShona, venacular Afrikaans, some basic isiXhosa - my weakest, but my kids learn it at school so I am hoping to glom onto their homework to learn more.
Trump is not even able to reach a 10 yr old’s ability in his native American English.
(I am very good with about 12 programing languages, but all high level programming languages tend to converge, at least conceptually, and they are all actually written in English & logic.)
I think a lot of it also is a form of pandering to his base, who are upset by all Spanish speaking people around them and are proud of their ignorance.
But the potatoe incident is still true…right?
Yes.
And there’s a video to prove it.
What’s this I’m hearing about Trump wanting to bring back the draft?
Maybe now that he’s too old to be drafted, he won’t mind it himself. And he would probably pull all the strings to keep Barron out of it.
Note that this is yet another imbecilic Trump idea. I doubt that very many Republicans would be for anything so daft.
