New in PN: Trump's attack on Harvard hampered by his inability to STFU

"The Trump administration would be getting slapped down in court even if the president & his minions *didn’t* constantly announce their intent to violate laws. But their incessant chest thumping does make things go a lot faster"

I love how she's also married to the PT Barnum of our time but everybody always mentions their work together because their marriage has been a sham for decades.

It has been but that’s not why I mentioned the work. She played a pretty vital part of building the company, as insiders tell it, and I’m sure she learned a lot from him.

Very true. Makes sense that she would be drawn to working with Trump. Like Vince, he's somebody who has to have full control over the product, and is known to change course on a gut feeling or whim, expecting everybody else to just make it work.

And he often glosses over his failures.

PT Barnum actually supported higher education though. Gave a lot of money to Tufts University.

Why is no one TALKING ABOUT the fact the the secretary of education is currently under a lawsuit involving sex trafficking of UNDER AGE BOYS

Hey now, Barnum was a dedicated Union supporter in the 1860s!

PT Barnum would have beat the piss out of Vince McMahon

It doesn’t matter. He has no intention of following the law. Amend the message. When are we going to hold him accountable?

Thank you Harvard and thank your students for standing up against Trump and his administration. I personally was/am not smart enough to enroll. As a retired nurse I count on those who are, as you would count on me to be in my profession. So again, Thank You for standing up for all of America now 💛.
