VERY VERY Disturbing. Would recommend not watching the whole thing.
But happening - and these actions MUST BE KNOWN and VILIFIED and PROSECUTED.

And why do students video these things instead of stepping in? I don't know. If the videographer was doing it to help the victim fine. If they were doing it to document it for the perpetrator, I hope they are charged as well. As it is, I'm glad it's out there - because how many of these have occurred w/o the sickening video and the perpetrator gets a slap on the wrist?

And why do students video these things instead of stepping in? As a formerly bullied teen I could see others hesitate to step in because when you do you 1 ) get your self beat up too 2 ) NO ONE believes you as to who started it or that it was bigoted Btdt Now, in this day & age where everything is caught on camera I don’t know if that has changed or not.

linkThis exactly why you don’t vote for Republicans.. “GOP Kills Bill That Would Extend Agent Orange Benefits To US Navy Vietnam Vets” “Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming—who voted for tax cuts—objected to the bill on the basis it would increase deficit spending.” Two Republican senators killed a bill on Monday that would provide benefits to American veterans who served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and now suffer the effects of Agent Orange. The reason? Extending benefits to those veterans would constitute deficit spending.
The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act would extend eligibility for disability compensation and health care to “Blue Water” Navy veterans – servicemembers who were aboard aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and other ships, some of whom have fought for years to prove they were exposed to Agent Orange. The dioxin-laden herbicide has been found to cause respiratory cancers, Parkinson’s disease and heart disease, as well as other conditions. The House voted 382-0 in favor of the legislation in June. Since then, it’s been stuck in the Senate. VA Secretary Robert Wilkie voiced his opposition to the bill in September, citing cost concerns and insufficient scientific evidence. He urged lawmakers to hold off until a new study is released in 2019. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) brought the bill to the floor on Monday night asking for unanimous consent to pass the measure, which would expedite the bill but can be derailed by just one no vote. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi (R-WY) provided the only objection necessary to kill the bill. On this bill, many of us have been made aware of the potential cost growth and the budgetary and operational pressures that would happen at the VA,” he said. “They’re having a lot of problems, anyway.” Enzi said he wanted more details about how many veterans would be made eligible for benefits under the legislation and how much it would cost. “There’s clearly more work to do just on figuring out the spending and administration of this and the deficit impacts this bill will have,” Enzi said on the Senate floor. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would cost $1.1 billion over the next decade — a number VA officials say could balloon to billions of dollars more. The measure included a new fee for VA home loans in an effort to mitigate the costs, Stars and Stripes reported. Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., later criticized Enzi’s objection, arguing the same senator voted in favor of the GOP tax cuts estimated to increase the national deficit. “I must say that it is a bit disheartening to see a bill that was passed unanimously by the House blocked by just a handful of senators over supposed fiscal concerns when those same senators voted to add trillions of dollars to the deficit last year to score a political win on the back of American taxpayers,” Walz said in a statement. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) also objected to the bill, saying he preferred to wait for the VA’s promised study in 2019.” And in the meantime? WTF? It's like they are surprised that things cost money. Do they want to pay for anything? Maybe they should work for FREE since their salaries cost money. What assholes.

trump... “Today I am making good on my promise to defend our Farmers & Ranchers from unjustified trade retaliation by foreign nations. I have authorized Secretary Perdue to implement the 2nd round of Market Facilitation Payments. Our economy is stronger than ever–we stand with our Farmers!” “Unjustified trade retaliation?” What did dimwit donnie think was going to happen when slapped tariffs on incoming products? From Canada: Trump it goes both ways you dipshit. If you don't understand how free trade actually works, you should shut the fuck up.

”NEW — Judge slams Michael Flynn:
“All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out."
This could get interesting.

”Judge Sullivan: "This is a very. Serious. Offense. A high-ranking senior official of the government making false statements to the FBI while on the physical premises of the White House.”
People, where he lied is not important, it’s that he lied that is important. And he lied to the FBI!

I'm not up to date on this thread so is it old news that Trump's charity foundation has agreed to close down because of the allegations of misuse of funds? Sorry if this has already been discussed. BBC

“Schumer just called McConnell and rejected his "offer" of a $1 billion border slush fund, which was supposed to give Trump a way of saving face, I'm told.”
Why should anyone want to help trump “save face” ? Especially when it comes to something as stupid as the wall?

”Judge Sullivan: Does Flynn's conduct rise "to the level of treasonous activity?"
Special counsel prosecutor Van Grack: we did not consider charging Flynn with treason.
Sullivan: "Could he have been charged with treason?”
Van Grack won't go there.”
Why don’t they go there?

Asha Rangappa...
“The State of New York has determined that the Trump family cannot be trusted to fulfill their basic fiduciary duties as stewards of charitable funds.
We’ve entrusted the entire well-being of the United States to these same people.
NY AG Underwood...
”#BREAKING: We’ve secured a stipulation requiring the Trump Foundation to dissolve under judicial supervision, with our review of recipient charities.
The Foundation functioned as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s interests. Our lawsuit remains ongoing.”
Just like the American’s tax dollars are becoming a “checkbook to serve” trump’s interests and pockets.

BBCIt's HILARIOUS that these people believe that by quitting or by shutting down a Foundation, the crimes just disappear. THEY DON'T & THEY SHOULDN'T! As far as the Trump "Foundation", there has never been 1 truly honorable thing that they've done with it. They've used it as yet another means to funnel $$. Eric should be in jail for what he did with the golf charity (held at a Trump estate, paying WELL over what it should have cost!) for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital. The $$ raised there did NOT go to any charitable cause and it was never closed out. To take $$ raised for a childrens' cancer cause and to bilk people on top of that, using your own family golf estate, should land you in jail for a lifetime. These are the types of things this "Foundation" has done. It's disgusting.

The investigation is ongoing. State AG wants the foundation to spend the 1.75M still left in their account but will supervise where the money goes.
Notice, this is a STATE investigation so if any charges are brought, there will be NO pardons from rump for his family members.

No worries it’s not like it’s HILLARY’S emails so it’s ok 🙄
Ivanka’s emails are ok, not sure why, but those are ok. Because Hillary & emails & OMG the horrors of speaker Pelosi. 🙄
What do republicans even stand for anymore? ( said as someone who has voted R more than D in their life to date, like I can name the Dems on less than one hand prior to 2016 ) and I’ve been voting for 34 years
