and where did their offspring go?

IIRC the spawn of the Orange matriculated at some fairly upscale joints.

catebridget.bsky.social•11 days ago

Harvard should rescind Hegseth and RFK’s degrees. Duke should rescind Miller’s. and so on. it’s just a degree, it’s symbolic and doesn’t hurt the universities. how many alumni donors would actually die on the Miller hill?

richwood.bsky.social•12 days ago

But didn’t you realize that all of them were brainwashed by leftist professors to love Palestine, hate Israel and become woke and Communists?

dikiychelovek.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think Alito went to Princeton for undergrad. I used to think I couldn’t be more ashamed of any alumnus than Rumsfeld.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah, I ran out of characters to add multiple schools for everyone.

bettycrackerfl.bsky.social•11 days ago

Kinda embarrassing for us Gators. We’re not all like those douchebags.

ginad57.bsky.social•11 days ago

Exactly

democracymichelle.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yup. Yale sure cranks out a bunch. I think they should be called out and revoke some degrees.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

I wrote about this a while back.

Excellent work. It’s a real problem.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thanks : )

FYI: the Ivy+ grads among the Jan 6 figures are listed on the "Associations" page of the Jan 6 'Big Timeline'. Just scroll down to it; it's under the Russia Connections section.

Excellent. Thank you.

Leonard Leo: Cornell

We hated him then when he was chair of "Young Republicans for Nuking the Gay Whales" as we called them...and we hate him even more now, lol.

tabuto.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'm certain a few received Pell grants and subsidized student loans

@aceanbender.com 🤝

acfarquhar.bsky.social•12 days ago

Lutnick: Haverford College

nutlick.bsky.social•12 days ago

I won’t miss it. They started letting in black squirrels and the whole place went to hell

nyc118.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump transferred to Penn after two years at Fordham! He couldn’t get in earlier.

sfmia.bsky.social•6 days ago

And he obviously didn't do too well or he would have released his transcripts

nyc118.bsky.social•6 days ago

And he only has an undergrad degree.

dkreutzer.bsky.social•12 days ago

This list should be a point of pride for the ivies. "Look at the mediocre people we graduated and what they've been able to accomplish in spite of their many shortcomings."

onguhla.bsky.social•12 days ago

It only works if they’re white and rich.

dkreutzer.bsky.social•11 days ago

I sometimes remember that Jared Kushner is so sub-mediocre that being a rich white legacy wasn't enough for him to get in to Harvard so his daddy also had to buy them a building.

galalefey.bsky.social•11 days ago

At least Columbia didn’t produce any of these people, despite kissing the fascist boot

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

And I should be clear: my point is that it's really f*ing hypocritical for these people to attack higher ed.

(Though I also get why folks in the comments are blaming these schools for their role in creating these people--see my Newsweek piece below).

https://www.newsweek.com/time-america-get-over-our-ivy-league-obsession-opinion-1931689

timhaney.bsky.social•12 days ago

Super hypocritical. Vance has called professors “the enemy”— yet it was his professor at Yale, Amy Chua, who mentored him and encouraged him to write his shitty book. He would not be where he is now without her and without Yale.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

A few more cronies for funsies:

Kushner: Harvard/NYU
Ramaswamy: Harvard/Yale
Thiel: Stanford
Sacks: U of Chicago/Stanford
Andreesen: U of Illinois
Bezos: Princeton
Zuckerberg: Harvard
Epshteyn: Georgetown/Swarthmore
Wiles: U of Maryland
Lutnick: Haverford
Patel: U of Richmond/Pace

casporleder.bsky.social•12 days ago

The Kushner admission to Harvard with mediocre credentials right after a seven figure donation from dad is 🧑‍🍳

subu.bsky.social•12 days ago

Not Noem, though.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Noem: South Dakota State, by way of two years spent two decades prior at Northern State

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

Notably, a lot of the women in his orbit went to state schools or less selective schools (Wiles, Bondi, Noem, Leavitt, Gabbard). Which makes me think of Natasha Quadlin's research, showing that managers prefer men who get Cs in college over women who get As.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0003122418762291

geclef12.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also, the women from those big name schools would be far less likely to dress like this crew. Just saying.

jessicacalarco.bsky.social•12 days ago

To clarify: Quadlin finds that high-achieving women are penalized relative to high- and lower-achieving men specifically because they're perceived as "unlikeable"/"uptight" - which could explain the glaring lack of women with "elite" pedigrees in his inner circle (since they'd be too threatening).

drmariannet.bsky.social•12 days ago

Or also 'high strung'. Such bulshit.

traciravenhawk.bsky.social•12 days ago

A Y chromosome is a mutant X

publicfutility.bsky.social•12 days ago

The joke used to be that A students went into academia, B students went into business, and C students went into government.

capitolhunters.bsky.social•12 days ago

College crusaders
Elise Stefanik - Harvard
Chris Rufo - claims Harvard (! see below)

Jan 6 figures
Josh Hawley - Stanford/Yale
Ted Cruz - Princeton/Harvard
Peter Thiel - Stanford/Stanford
Patrick Byrne - Dartmouth/Cambridge/Stanford
Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes - JD Yale
Steve Bannon - MBA Harvard

capitolhunters.bsky.social•12 days ago

Just flagging links - Stanford comes up often because Peter Thiel builds his network from the Stanford Review. Josh Hawley, Jeff Giesea, John Gibbs are all former Review writers, as are many of the PayPal mafia (Sacks, Rabois). JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy were friends at Yale who met Thiel there.

ynotask.bsky.social•12 days ago

DeSantis has ruined U of Florida.

publicfutility.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is Bill Domhoff on social media?

bravojuneau.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'd say 90% of going to those schools is the networking afterwards. Because there are some stupid people with those alleged degrees. How did they get to where they are? How else do you explain it?

differance.bsky.social•12 days ago

it's uncommon, but universities *are* entitled to revoke degrees they've awarded. and that can have consequences.

labhaas.bsky.social•12 days ago

Indeed, we at Lehigh revoked the Orange's honorary degree in 2021 (thank you, Board).
