Current events that liberals won't like
Fifty people, including Hollywood stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, were charged Tuesday in a scheme in which wealthy parents allegedly bribed college coaches and other insiders to get their children into some of the nation’s most elite schools.
Federal authorities called it the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department, with the parents accused of paying an estimated $25 million in bribes.
“These parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in announcing the results of an investigation code-named Operation Varsity Blues.
The scandal is certain to inflame longstanding complaints that children of the wealthy and well-connected have the inside track in college admissions — sometimes through big, timely donations from their parents — and that privilege begets privilege.
At least nine athletic coaches and 33 parents, many of them prominent in law, finance or business, were among those charged. Dozens, including Huffman, were arrested by midday.
The coaches worked at such schools as Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, Wake Forest, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles. A former Yale soccer coach pleaded guilty and helped build the case against others.

It’s funny you think just because someone marched in the women’s march that liberals would support them cheating. Liberals are very aware that all liberals aren’t perfect, just some of us

Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, called FEMOCRAT actress Alexandria Ocrazyo-Whoretez a “pompous little twit,” and slammed the so-called “climate crisis,” calling it “fake news” and “fake science.”
“She really rubbed me the wrong way when she said she’s the boss because she can make up a proposal that’s completely ridiculous,” Moore said. “That is what is wrong about this. In fact, the whole climate crisis as they call it is not only fake news, it’s fake science. There is no climate crisis. There is weather and climate all around the world, and in fact, carbon dioxide is the main building block in all life.”
Moore said climate change is real and has been happening since the beginning of time, but said it is not dangerous and is not man-made.
“There is nothing to be afraid of. The scientists who are saying it’s a crisis are on perpetual government grants,” he added.

Why would we care about this? It is what rich people do. It is how Trump got in college with a terrible record. We will not support these people. You will support Trump.
Super lefty
This is bad, but I still don't think this is as bad as making a fake college with the intent to scam people out of their money.

TIME TO PUT HIM IN "THE COOLER?"
Several defendants, including Felicity Huffman, wife of actor William H. Macy, were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said the investigation is continuing and authorities believe other parents were involved.
Court papers said a cooperating witness met with Huffman and her husband at their Los Angeles home and explained to them that he “controlled” a testing center and could have somebody secretly change her daughter’s answers. The person told investigators the couple agreed to the plan.
Macy was not charged; authorities did not say why.
Macy told Parade magazine in January that the college application process for their daughter was a source of stress. The couple’s daughter, Sofia, is an aspiring actress who attends Los Angeles High School of the Arts.
“She’s going to go to college. I’m the outlier in this thing. We’re right now in the thick of college application time, which is so stressful,” Macy said.

It's OK to Be White
Notice how when a Liberal does something wrong, other Liberals actually condemn them.
When Trump does something wrong, Trumptards will defend him no matter what. The American Right has become a cult with a drooling moron as your leader.
