At least he finally admitted that Trump wrote that letter!
Exclusive: Bornstein claims Trump dictated the glowing health letter | CNN Politics
When Dr. Harold Bornstein described in hyperbolic prose then-candidate Donald Trump’s health in 2015, the language he used was eerily similar to the style preferred by his patient.

Disbar the lawyers.
NEW: Pentagon lawyers asked State Dept. if US could send survivors of Trump's boat strikes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Then Pentagon pushed to have survivors sent anywhere but the US — to prevent any US court cases. Gift link to our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

This is nonsense. When I was in law school at Stanford, I wanted to take an undergraduate poetry class, but had to justify my request with an explanation for why the class would advance my legal education. I was approved with the following three word justification: “Economy of expression.”
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

I have very little taste for poetry but I know for a fact that having to read poetry in high school and college has a direct utilitarian impact on my ability to write very good email and copy that I am praised for frequently in my day job

Learn poetry and arts as REBELLION against the class enemies who want us to be both literally and emotionally illiterate.

Isn't a well-rounded education part of the deal with a college degree? My undergrad major was physics but I'm kinda glad I had to take some history, french, and chemistry, with minors in math and philosophy.

This is a comment defending the same account's prior complaint about being taught poetry in a composition course.
I couldn't possibly think of a more eloquent way to tell everyone you don't actually want to be educated.

And yet somehow, lots of college graduates survive without being able to complete a coherent thought, much less a cadence to their expression…

As someone who teaches Speech/Debate/Drama, learning iambic pentameter and how to speak with it will absolutely improve your speech patterns and how to construct speeches, deliver them with poise and gracefulness, and make a sometimes difficult task easier for the average person to understand.

Learning that other disciplines have lessons to teach you about the subjects that most interest you is possibly the single most important thing you can get out of an education.
Learning to perform outside your comfort zone is an important & useful life skill that can be applied to many areas in your life.

It's a form of Jewish supremacism. The issue is that it has historically infiltrated leftist circles by their "liberal Zionists" who want to genocide with nicer wording.

When she talks as if young Jews have a moral requirement to support genocide she's repeating the common tactics that many Zionist rabbis and Jewish parents want to impose to their children. Under Zionism there's no individual, you're a tool of the state. Same as Nazism. It's psychological abuse.
