    Sad to say, but it's true. Their kids and grandkids will continue that cycle, too.

    I thought the desperation to paint the perps involved in this travesty as "liberals" and "Democrats" was pretty remarkable, didn't you?

    Remarkable? Yes. Surprising? No, not really. The tribalism and groupthink are very strong! I wonder what they are trying to deflect from?

    Let that sink in.

    So you say.

    Were they charged in a bribery scandal?

    Didn't think so.

    You have zero credibility.

    Absolutely, I bet it’s both in this case. This isn’t a partisan scandal, it’s just a scandal.

    Yep. When your gene pool has reached the shallow end, it's the only way for you to get your kid an "education." I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they don't pay others to take their tests and write their papers, too.

    So, there are both conservative and liberal women who are against the sexual abuse of women. Unlike you #PickMe people who support the abuse of women.

    To some, abuse is okay if it buys you a husband. Even if you never had one, like some, it's okay as long as it's happening to (D) women.

    Amen, I agree, we won’t find out the political affiliations of the lesser knowns, but it doesn’t matter, like you said it’s privleged people cheating to advance their children who didn’t meet the standards.
