But! He's OUR disgrace. Thank you very much! And over a few Samosonites trying to get to his Hertz rental... While most people were running away from a 1977 Plymouth Fury!!!

Great Lakes Water Levels to Keep Rising ONLY RULE: @Cripple Creek @CountryCletus CAN'T wreck or hijack a totally well intentioned thread! Experts only please!! Save your infant sized Type II PFD and water wings for the kiddie pool please!!! That means you @Gugny (Water Wings). And @BringBackFergy (Type II Infant PFD)!

You're such a CFL purist! Good thing you weren't around during the Revolution... Benedict! LoL...

I know! I call it a "Lazy Coke Float." When there are times I am in a hurry! LoL...

Eagles. ??? Pop/Rock/Country all rolled up into one.

This one is for @BringBackFergy . Next time tell @mead107 to not drink it all! https://indycraftbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-Floyds-Zombie-Dust-1210x642.jpg [NOT sure why my pix linx aren't embedding anymore!] But here is an attachment:

Can't view, won't view. I am getting some sob story pop-up that the news source wants to render ads in my Brave browser. Bye Felicia!!!

I am actually in agreement with you here. You vex me to no ends.

I believe in decorum too. But sadly we have crossed the Rubicon. There is no going back. The proof, results are in the pudding. When in Rome, do as the Romans.

Dude. It's zed. Not zee. Canadians... /smh

"One town's very like another When your head's down over your pieces, brother It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity To be looking at the board, not looking at the city Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted stinking town..." Oh, wait. This ain't the lyrical response thread.

I like pouring Coca-Cola over my ice cream. It creates a nice little puddle in my dessert. J/K... I know it was a typo...I have to consciously remind myself not to make it. Thanx for both heads up with CFL and how desert is spelled! ;-)

I guess you never heard of an "Irish Funeral." Anyway... I hear you. But I disagree. These kids get that this BS means nothing. It's an open environment. They won't be shamed into decorum. Decorum has been thrown out the window. This will probably get her farther. Again... /smh You think she finds "joy" in this rigged system?

Did you see where she mentioned they failed her on scholarships? And fair enough. On last part. Yet, you were compensated well. People need to move. Pick up their two feet and out of the high priced environment. That's the one thing we got going here. My eyes almost bugged out when I seen a dump going for $960k... That must be a wrong picture. That looks like $60k here. Anyway... She did well following the POTUS strategy of blasting off the cuff. Sadly, she will go far, this stuff sells.

Thank god they weren't horse blanket pins. Imagine these going through your nads!

No. But the POTUS sets a national tone. Vibe. It surely works for him. Of course people will follow the example! THIS is now the proper forum (what she has done). Don't... Get me wrong. I hate it. But if it works, so be it. I am not scared for this kid one bit! She has been on "record mode."

Of course. This isn't a career killer. This is a career maker! They will be clamoring for the "girl with gumption." Go about fixing it? How? Did you see? There are $300k homes in San Yisidro for family incomes that are $40k. Huh? The banks are working them to death. No wonder the families have imploded. Yet, this girl makes it out of the usury environment and doesn't know her guidance counsellor until Senior Year when she will be valedictorian. Yes... You too can be Michael Jordan!

No. Not upset at all. I applaud her because if she acted "classy" it would get buried. Unfortunate people in unfortunate places always get looked over. Why would you want to bury this pervasive problem. San Ysidro ain't the only place. We are living the educational wasteland horror story here. High priced teachers with zero interest in the community they serve. AND, it is blatantly communicated to the children.

Nothing. She is valedictorian. She is in minority. Has to be a struggling community. Median income is $38k... Average $49k. That's pretty damn low for an average of 4 to a house. Per capita has got to be in terms or 20s! Check out the house prices!!! Gotta be bleeding them... What the he'll are they paying these do nothing teachers who probably commute in. Remember, only 40% speak English well!

Sure! He is the leader of the free world. People see the results he gets. /smh

She spoke English "well" she's in the 40% of the community.

Like the communties here. Teachers that aren't even part of it. Drive in and collect pay check and then retreat to their bubble... Only to move on to some better choice. There is a huge sucking sound. I don't know San Yisdro... Hazarding to guess it may be similar. Sounds like a educational wasteland. Check out the housing prices for some of these dumps: https://www.point2homes.com/US/Neighborhood/CA/San-Ysidro-Demographics.html It has to be crushing with a a median family income of $49k! Where is the educational money going? Probably to teachers that live in other communities. From Wiki, posted up thread: "In 2010 the census counted 28,008 people in San Ysidro of which 93% were Hispanic. Of those over 5 years old, 10% spoke only English, 87% spoke Spanish. 60% spoke Spanish and spoke English "well" or "very well." Yeah... They (teachers) are part of the community all right! /smh (sarcasm). Shaking my head. From what happens here, I can pretty much guess what the vibe is there. Of course I may be wrong. Never been there. This topic, is where I take a sharp left-handed turn! So. POTUS blasts people all the time. Sign of the times. Monkey see, Monkey do.

I don't see it as spiteful and vengeful. I see it as a last plea for help! Have you ever been to these communities?

Jesus Christ. A day old beer thread gets to 4 pages and sexy chick squeezing someone's balls barely cracks 3 pages in 3 days! I demand social justice. This @Cripple Creek guy is a complete hack that thinks he has the pulse of the people. I am starting a letter, going above the chain of command... Straight to JC's father! Here's what I got started: Dear God, hope You got the letterAnd I pray You can make it better down hereI don't mean a big reduction in the price of beerBut all the people that You made in Your imageSee them starving on their feet'Cause they don't get enough to eatFrom God, I can't believe in You.Dear God, sorry to disturb YouBut I feel that I should be heard loud and clearWe all need a big reduction in amount of tears...
