"Michigan schools need to do better. There is no doubt about it," she continued, admitting that she does not "intentionally (visit) schools that are underperforming."IIRC, she followed that with a "maybe I should". I would love it if Stahl had asked why we don't look at adopting what public schools in higher academic performing countries are doing instead of breaking up the existing system. I heard that snippet of the interview-- when she said 'no, she does not visit the underperforming schools' Leslie Stahl followed up with, "maybe you should?" but I wish she would have asked "why?" so she would have had to give a reason!! (a reason for why she does NOT visit them, I mean)

From BBC News:
The Russian president faces a backlash after suggesting minority groups, including Jews, may be responsible for meddling in the 2016 US election.
Vladimir Putin made the comments during a US TV interview with Megyn Kelly.
US lawmakers and Jewish groups are among those criticising him.
Some are publicly asking US President Donald Trump to push Mr Putin for a clarification on what he meant when questioning whether certain groups were actually Russian.
Mr Putin was being asked during the NBC interview about charges of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election after 13 nationals were charged by the US special counsel's office last month.
"I couldn't care less because they do not represent the government, I could not care less. They do not represent the interests of the Russian state," Mr Putin said.
"Maybe they're not even Russians, but Ukrainians, Tatars, Jews, just with Russian citizenship. Even that needs to be checked.
"Maybe they have dual citizenship. Or maybe a green card. Maybe it was the Americans who paid them for this work. How do you know? I don't know."
Mr Putin has been criticised by some groups, including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
"President Putin bizarrely has resorted to the blame game by pointing the finger at Jews and other minorities in his country," ADL chief executive Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement.
"It is deeply disturbing to see the Russian president giving new life to classic anti-Semitic stereotypes that have plagued his country for hundreds of years, with a comment that sounds as if it was ripped from the pages of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
The comment refers to a work of fiction published in a Russian newspaper in 1903, which was used to justify propaganda that there was a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world.
US Senator Richard Blumenthal said the "repulsive" remark should be denounced by world leaders.
Julia Davis, a Russian media analyst, said the comments made clear that Mr Putin only considers "ethnically Russian" people nationals, which she labelled a "disturbing distinction".
Others suggested that Mr Putin was not blaming any group for the interference comments, rather just dismissively running through a list.
The American Jewish committee has said that Mr Putin should clarify the comments "at the earliest opportunity".

He is learning well from dt or dt is learning from Putin. dt says if we are not native born white Americans we are nothing... But we are ALL from immigrants, with a very few Native Americans among us.

I would love it if Stahl had asked why we don't look at adopting what public schools in higher academic performing countries are doing instead of breaking up the existing system. Good god. Those are EXACTLY the schools she needs to visit! Go check them out. Talk to the students. Talk to the staff. Talk to the principal and supers. Actually LISTEN to what they think will help, not just what you think will help. Then go visit the top schools and repeat all the above. Solutions can be found if one wants to look and do the work and not fulfill some self-serving agenda.

Mnuchin dismisses Trump’s ‘vulgarities’ in the context of campaign rally BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 03/11/18 10:57 AM EDT EXCLUSIVE: Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin tells @chucktodd that President Trump's vulgarities and attacks on the press are less important than policy, and should be seen in the context of a "campaign rally" #MTP pic.twitter.com/EDckehvZxi — Meet the Press (@meetthepress) March 11, 2018 thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/377827-mnuchin-dismisses-trumps-vulgarities-in-the-context-of-campaignHe is always excused by his people. He can do whatever he chooses and they will still excuse him!This is what I truly DO NOT GET. How he is excused for absolutely EVERYTHING. Obama was criticized for being photographed wearing f*ing flip flops on vacation. People believed he was the anti-Christ who was going to declare marshal law so he wouldn't have to leave the WH. His wife was raked over the coals because she wore sleeveless clothing. Yet now, we have a president who: *Admits to grabbing women by the p*ssy while laughing about it. *Made fun of a disabled man. *Is married to someone who was paid to pose nude for photos. *Has been married three times and has cheated on each of his wives. *Is being sued by a PORN STAR. And that's just the short list. I would sure love for some conservative who supports this icky man to sincerely say how they can do so, especially if they were part of the Obama hate that was spewed for 8 years. I can only imagine what people would have said about Obama if he had done even ONE stinking thing off that list. And I write this as someone who has always considered myself conservative leaning. I'm not a registered Republican, more a middle of the road independent, but I am 54 years old, and in all of the years I have been able to vote, I have voted much more often for Republicans than Democrats. In all of the elections I have been able to vote in beginning with Reagan's second term, I have only voted for a Democrat for president in two of those elections--Clinton's first term and Obama's second. So make of that what you will, I'm not a liberal. But I sure as hell don't know if I can ever vote Republican again after the shit show the last year has been, and not just because of Trump. The same way Hillary, Bill and Obama were excused for absolutely EVERYTHING. Trump was criticized for breathing wrong, changing the curtains in the oval office, feeding fish, and shaking hands. People believe Trump is the actual reincarnation of Hitler. Some have even said he needs to be removed from the White House in a body bag. Melania, FLOTUS, was criticized for wearing a hat with FLOTUS on it and for wearing high heels on a plane. We had a Democrat President with some very serious sexual assault, rape and cheating issues. Then the Democrats elected him again in spite of all of that. You don't have to imagine. We had Clinton and he was repeatedly excused and his issues were blamed on Republicans, because Democrats apparently are never responsible for their actions, or it doesn't matter, or it's different, or insert weak excuse of the day. You seem to have forgotten all of the scandals and ills on the Left. It's so funny to watch the same outrage, scandals and conspiracy theories coming from the same Left that called everyone on the Right, extremist nutjobs for exhibiting them. It's like they can't remember.

Those upset about Democrats' reaction to Trump scandals forget one salient point: this president is woefully uninformed about the workings of our government and economy. More than that, he's proud of being uninformed. Say what you want about Clinton; he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship and displayed an understanding of the issues needed to lead. Contrast with Trump, who admits that he just made stuff up in a meeting with the leader of our closest ally and trade partner, to try to score some point that only he understands. Bush is a Yale graduate, a Harvard MBA, and successful businessman (an actual successful businessman) with military service record. He had executive experience as governor of one of the largest economies in the country. Obama is a Columbia and Harvard Law graduate, a constitutional scholar, and served in the US Senate. Bush, Clinton and Obama all displayed the basic understandings necessary to operate as a successful president, whether you agreed with their political views or not. Contrast with Trump, who has only a BA degree that daddy bought for him, a string of failed business ventures and bankruptcies, four or five military deferments, and whose greatest claim to "success" is being a TV reality star. And all of that would be unproblematic if it wasn't for the fact that he displays incredible stupidity, immaturity, untruthfulness and arrogance on a daily basis. All of Trump's foibles would be less offensive to many if he displayed even a basic understanding of leadership, economics, history, foreign policy, or other subjects necessary to being an effective president. Instead, he's ignorant and proud of his ignorance. He thinks because he's a "star" that he can just bully world leaders into doing what he wants. Sex scandals don't, historically, bring down a presidency. President pussy-grabber won't be brought down because he's a lech and a serial assaulter. If we bring him down, it will be because he's monumentally stupid - possibly stupid enough to have been duped into colluding with the Russians and/or laundering their money - and monumentally arrogant - arrogant enough to think he can break the law with impunity and have "his people" (those would be the folks he's appointed to high office) just fix it for him.

So in the comparison of two philanderers and abusers, Trump is the one actually unfit to hold the office because he is stupid. That doesn't give Clinton a pass for his sexual peccadilloes. It just acknowledges that, between the two of them, Trump is the only one who is a freaking moron.

The mistake you make over and over again with your mostly manufactured scandals is they are of the same caliber as what trump and those he surrounds himself with do on an almost daily basis. Sorry, the almost daily scandals that surround trump & company are all in a league of their own. Unchartered waters if you will. And that is what is so damn scary.

He admits that he *did not know* whether or not we had a trade deficit with Canada, but insisted to the Canadian PM that we did. (We don't.) He tweets ignorant, immature, factually incorrect things daily. He demonstrates all the time that he doesn't understand how our government works, doesn't have a basic grasp of history, doesn't understand foreign policy, and worst of all, doesn't care that he doesn't understand. These are not matters of opinion. They are verifiable fact. And I could go on and on. (If you don't believe me, ask Rex Tillerson, who called Trump a moron in front of a room full of people.)

He demonstrates all the time that he doesn't understand how our government works, doesn't have a basic grasp of history, doesn't understand foreign policy, and worst of all, doesn't care that he doesn't understand. These are not matters of opinion. They are verifiable fact. And I could go on and on. (If you don't believe me, ask Rex Tillerson, who called Trump a moron in front of a room full of people.) 100% correct. It amazes me, the lengths that some will go to defend the idiot. It’s NOT a matter of opinion, it’s a proven fact (over and over and over again) trumps idiocy and incompetence. It’s also 100% incorrect that Clinton’s, Obama, etc were excused for everything. They weren’t and it’s ridiculous to keep insisting it it, when it is factually not true.
