Hope you’re sitting down when you read this shocking news. In case you missed it, today’s big story is that rich people were using their money to buy college admissions for their kids! Can you believe it? Unheard of!

The gal who wants to party and go to game day at Stanford,bout not class is something.

Astounding that a coach takes cash to recruit students who never played the sport.

I should feel bad about the level of trolling she is getting, but I don't

It was pretty shocking to see the level of fraud and corruption involved.

Generally I'm against burning Holy Scriptures, but I think those copies may have lost that status.

Also, the fact that those bibles didn't burst into flames is probably a point for the Atheists' case.

Why should you feel bad; she earned the trolling - hell, she practically asked for it. She's a Kardashian in training. Sex tape release in 3....2....1....

Just in an objectively human way, but then again I am proud that I am not taking abject joy in it. There are so many little shitty piece parts to college admissions already that this stuff is just confirmation, not that most people did not really suspect these type of things. There are reasons Don sent demand letters about his grades and test scores, and it is pretty easy to expect that his father bought his way in to Penn. Certainly this type of pay to play was exposed a few years ago with the reporting of Jared Kushner looking at colleges, and ultimately being accepted at Harvard along with his father's pledge of $2.5 million to be paid in 10 easy installments of $250,000.

Man, Manfort's lawyer staying with the judge saying NO RUSSIAN COLLUSION. The assembled citizens were shouting him down 'Liar', 'that's not what she said', etc. Super weird.

The fact that everyone connected with this Administration, regardless of how tenuous the connection, uses every possible opportunity to spread the "No Collusion" line/propaganda is very telling, IMHO.

I'm not a lawyer, but I imaging we will hear the words "Double Jeopardy". I hope NY is being very careful.

There's a lot of collusion about the no collusion.

2 emails surfaced from Rudy's cohorts to Cohen. Even uses the word "back channel". Proof of something? Just general manipulation? I cannot wait for Rudy to explain.

col·lu·sion - NOUN. A secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.

It all seems rather in the open now, so it fails the first test of secrecy diminishing it to just crimes.
