It’s a little different in Louisiana I guess.
Probably, Catholic schools here tend to be filled with Mexican middle class families. They are fairly inexpensive and provide a good but not great education so they aren't something associated with privilege in this neck of the woods. A lot of these schools were established when segregation was still in place.

You are doubting how stupid she is?
She does think the 3 billion dollars is coming out of something when all it was a 3 Billion tax break on the 27 billion in projected taxes they would pay. BC economics program is apparently not very strong.
She must have got this idea from the same econ book Trump read that says China is being charged with billions of dollars in tariffs that are pouring into U.S. coffers.
Now let's see if she doubles/triples down on this misunderstanding.

I was making an unfair broad generalization but we shouldn’t pretend like the all white male rich Catholic high schools don’t have something to do with Trumpism.
Sounds weird, we have a ton of Catholic High Schools here but none of them would fit that description. The whites send their kids to Episcopal schools.

This isn't a big idea. If you are hosting a service or website you're paying the same for the bandwidth no matter who it's going to, or what the content of the data is. TCP is just packets, there's no intrinsic cost to sending one packet over another packet from any one sender to any one receiver.
The fundamental networking protocol of routing traffic always favors the fastest path, so if some ISP's routing hops are getting slower (and the user isn't using the ISP's dogshit DNS servers), then their requests will start to go through a faster route, if available. It's designed to be as evenly distributed as possible, with absolute generic packet-based communication, so it has very high resiliency.
The cost of data (meaning, volume of network traffic) is CHEAP in a datacenter, which has significantly higher SLA's and contractual obligations with regard to performance. There's absolutely zero reason for home internet service to be the dogshit that it is in the US - aside from corporate greed and regulatory capture.
This was like reading about the peanuts in peanut butter in discussion about strawberry jam versus grape.

This. For those that remember having football practices on practice grass fields during a week of heavy rains, remember what the field looked like by the weekend? That was Spain by the time WWII rolled around while the Germans, Italians and Soviets left to the stadium for game night.
The Spanish Civil War was truly a complete cluster fuck. The Germans and Italians used it as a testing ground and the Soviets used it as an opportunity to gut Trotskyists and kill of anti-Stalin socialists. Spain was fucked no matter which side won that war, totalitarianism was happening either way.
If you consider the way shit went down between all of the various factions and infighting on the Republican side and the rise of the fascists, Hitler usurping the socialist title while appeasing the existing German polity and tying it up in a fascist package was fairly slick. He cut off the Communist threat, undercut any other socialist revolutionary movement, masked the class tension by redirecting it to the Jews, and kept the elite satisfied all under the banner of Nazism.

That coupled with some reading. I was surprised I wasn’t more knowledgeable about his story. I suppose it had something to do with the US being aligned with him during the Cold War and never viewing him as an enemy or adversary.
I take it you are not a fan of Orwell or Hemingway.

The irony is the moment he died the country immediately went back to democracy and instantly to the left in the first election.
It was a great fuck you to Franco b
I wouldn't say it was immediate. There was a perilous road they had to travel before getting to democracy. Shit, Juan Carlos could have just said "fuck it, I'm king" and retained support from the military and the Right, but he didn't. Still, he had to ease into the idea of democracy without pissing off the Francoists. Then there was the whole coup attempt in the 80's. It took a little while.
The story would make a great movie. I don't know why one hasn't ever been made.

If you think we're polarized here, you've seen nothing like Spanish politics. They have actual socialists and communists, not just cute Congresswomen from NY who subscribe to socialist policies Americans freak out over.
This is so true. The girl I was with was Basque and although she never admitted it, you could tell she sympathized with ETA but didn't approve of their methods. The ETA was one thing but then there was the back and forth of Leninist ideas versus various Socialist implementations. This wasn't your millennial Feel the Bern with AOC kinda stuff.

Speaking of these guys. I saw a lot of mistreatment of blacks by the police in Spain. I once witnessed the cops drag several blacks out of a restaurant after they insisted on being seated. They were told the restaurant was closed but people behind them were being seated. One of the guys asked the customers to intervene but someone just yelled for them to leave. Then the cops showed up. The whole thing escalated so fast, it took a moment to process what I was witnessing. It was a flashback to a time I wasn't even old enough to have experienced.

That really is amazing. Democrat overstates heritage. We don’t even know if she was deliberately dishonest or not and that’s disqualifying for a Trump voter. I mean Trump has repeatedly violated any measure of integrity brazenly beyond any doubt.True. Trump's statements are more conflicting than the Rick James interview on the Chapelle Show.

I have been twice, most recently last year. I didn’t take a broad survey or anything, but the people I did talk to about it seemed surprisingly meh about Franco.
I've experienced similar sentiment in the past 10 years or so. The outrage is no longer present and the country's politics has shifted around some since it became a democracy which may have put somethings in perspective. There was a time in Spain that anything associated with capitalism or America was fascist by default. "Oh, you drink Coke A Cola, you must be Franco's butt buddy."
In the mid 90's, I was at the park (El Retiro) in Madrid with a girl I was seeing from the University of Madrid. We were hanging out by the lake where a Christian Evangelical group was playing music. Definitely not something native to Spain. The group was surrounded by young hecklers shouting down the church group. I've never seen anything like it. After awhile the girl I was with explained that this American religion was unwanted and seen as an attempt to bring back fascism and then went on about all things fascist.
It was a very interesting perspective to hear, I was basically in Owen Wilson "wow" mode the entire time.

Everyone knows that he is a douche. However, I will always be willing to buy him a beer for setting fire to the aggy recruiting class back in the day.

Political correctness is a term white people use when they don't want to be condemned for doing something that offends people.
As I said, there is a middle ground of common sense here that is being ignored.

well, then this whole thing is fucking absurd. this is why the democrats can't succeed.
pointing out monetary influence on congressional support for ANYTHING isn't anti-semitic.
holy shit, what an invented controversy. she actually did nothing wrong.
Anyone that says her comments were antisemitic are full of shit. She was clearly blaming the AIPAC lobby and the politicians that accept it. Money is central to lobbying so obviously it's all about the benjamins. The Democrats have tied themselves to political correctness that sometimes runs amok so you reap what you sow.
Surely there is a middle ground of not being a racist asshole and unnecessarily apologizing for valid positions. Now would be a good time to call for some common sense.

I feel the same about Franco, but Spain seems more divided on him than I would have thought before visiting there. I think most don’t view him favorably and I know there are some motions periodically to remove his tomb from El Escorial, but I got the sense that the attitude of many was more, “He may not have been the greatest but it’s our history and at least the trains ran on time” instead of “F that guy.”
When was your visit? There was a strong anti-Franco sentiment in Spain in the early 90's. Spain seemed to have held its breath in the 80's as it figured out democracy but by the 90's the general sentiment was vocally anti-Franco. It feels as though the anger has passed with time now that a couple of generations have grown up without memories of his rule.

Harris graduated college in 86 and law school in 89
Snoop and Tupac were 90s
2Pacalypse was 91
Doggystyle was 93embarrassing
This is lame but not nearly bad as all of the John Kerry gaffes regarding sports, hunting and fast food and definitely not as bad as eating fried chicken with a fork.
Harris should be criticized for the fights she waged in the drug war and not some pathetic attempt to appear 420 friendly.

Israel
in Cloak Room
What is interesting is that the British Mandate while having geopolitical reasons was in part domestically supported based on Christian Zionism. The United States continues a similar support for Israel for geopolitical reasons with a large domestic support from Christian Zionism. I'm curious if Israel would need to compromise a bit more if the evangelical vote wasn't so dominant with the GOP. Granted, the Democrats take in a large amount of AIPAC money just like the Republicans.
