PRESIDENT TRUMP

CloseThe President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

During the official "Azure Flame" New Year's Special on Channel One here some comedian was doing a gregarious Trump impersonation. I learnt that the way people think an American accent sounds in Russian is very similar to the one everyone thinks Russian accent sounds in English. It was kinda fun, alongside the more self-deprecating jokes about oil prices and meldonium.

It's the day. I need something to do to get my mind off this. I'm going to start going around and asking people I know if they want to go watch a movie or go out for coffee or not suck in all the stupid bullshit we've brought upon ourselves as American citizens.
The only solace I have right now is that I've never paid into any of the systems that run the risk of being gutted.

Ditto. I'm sick of tired of hearing "So Trump becomes President this Friday. Whaddya think?" It's depressing, and I'm really pessimistic about the next four years. Moreso over the Republican dominance of everything than Trump himself. Trump, I think, will be put on a leash soon.

They totally lip synced the National Anthem! I should know, I've got 3+ years of choir experience.
Kind of hard to champion the pledge of giving the voice back to the American people when you can't even let them sing their own song.

Yeah, it's going to suck. I agree that I'm more worried about the Republicans at large than Trump himself, but the constant public posturing from him is going to wear on me. The environment and education are going to take some pretty big hits; not looking forward to that. Speaking of: did anyone watch the DeVos hearing? That lady is hopelessly inept and pampered; she should be a shitty middle manager somewhere that slows productivity and everyone hates.
I didn't watch much of the inauguration, but I caught a bit of it when I was eating lunch and saw a shot of a ratty looking guy in the audience that was wearing an American flag cape and yawning at Chuck Schumer's speech, so that brightened my day.

She could end up destroying our education system. She believes in ending public education and privatizing schooling through corporations.

Apparently Trump's inauguration speech copied lines from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
"What are your plans to address the public's concerns with growing taxes?"
"That would be very painful... for you."

Yeah, she's who I'm most afraid of in his cabinet. Using "school choice" as a guise for privatizing education is at least a slow-acting poison; the next administration can fix it before too much damage is done. I hope.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I don't have anything constructive to add I just like this picture and think it's romantic

This is something I too have been very worried about it made me wonder something:
She believes in completely eschewing forced public education, right? All schools would be completely privatized. Wouldn't it be possible to set up very high-standard, non-profit schools under that system with a board of volunteers or subsidized staff? Or have freelance teachers that tutor small groups of kids independently? You wouldn't have to send kids to 'approved' private schools, assuming there were no laws that require it. It might even be possible to homeschool your own kids if you had the know-how, or open up a school of your own within the neighborhood. Maybe with donations or something that could balloon into something greater.
That's in the realm of possibility right? To help out those who can't afford a big expensive education. I'm basically scrounging for best-case scenarios.

Yeah, but who's going to do it, and what's going to be the availability and quality of education?
I would hope that well meaning parents and teachers could organize something with the help of middle or upper-class donors. If all federal funding for the education system gets completely gutted it would put lots of people out of work. I think that rather than trying to go back to college (what will happen to college grants and scholarships?) or working menial jobs it would be better for folks to try and work in the same profession in a private setting as freelance tutors or in smaller schools. I can imagine people taking their skills to the road or their local community as a solution.
Quality wise, who's to say? Probably poorer than expensive schools to be sure. I can foresee that some states or counties just wouldn't have the people or the breadth of knowledge to get students a full education if teaching was done piecemeal like that. Private schools could offer you a comprehensive curriculum. On the plus side, if you get a teacher who knows one thing really well, and teaches kids in that one thing really well, then that's preferable imo. But if you wanted to do that it might end up being more expensive than just ponying up for a big school.
