“I have applied for over 600 jobs over the last year and a half and the only job I found was a seasonal position at Macy’s selling watches for minimum wage and that ended two months ago. I have missed three opportunities to retake the bar exam bc I can’t find a job in anything.”
“I know my degrees are worthless. I have dedicated the rest of my life to educating people on the perils of higher education. Southwestern Law School ruined my life and I don’t want anyone else to be in this position.”
“I owe $300,000 in federal loans and I will be on welfare: This makes me seriously suicidal. My life is over!! If I could sue, I would. I am just an African-American male from the inner city and I thought obtaining higher education would help me.”

More proof that star power isn’t earned. It just is. Kerber can win all the slams in the world, but Venus, who hasn’t won a slam in 10 years will always be the bigger the draw. Always.
Sharapova, Venus, Serena, Hingis, and so on were stars before they had a slam. The slams didn’t make them; they made the slams. At the moment, the slams make Kerber and she’ll always only be as good as her last one.

I just... are we really putting justice for black people on the backs of black prosecutors? Have y’all met many black prosecutors? I have and the most times the only thing different from their white counterparts is their skin color.
Lawyers are a last line of defense. Prosecutors offer little to none. Once we’ve gotten there, the battle is ultimately half lost. The law is not on the side of the victim. The law won’t save us.
Three months ago I watched a man get out of prison after 20 years for a crime he didn’t do. The prosecutor knew it, but still wanted a conviction for her record. We managed to negotiate a plea. Articles called it justice. Really? Justice for who?

***On Khashoggi***

Q: So yesterday the CIA director briefed some senators on the Khashoggi investigation. And Senator Lindsey Graham was very critical and he said ...

SEC. MATTIS: Very what?
Q: Critical of the Saudis and of you, sir. And he said “there is no smoking gun in Khashoggi killing. There is a smoking saw,” and he was referring to what you said recently, there is no smoking gun. So what is your answer to Senator Graham?

I wrote 4,000 words on the trade deal formerly known as NAFTA, coincidentally roughly as long as the agreement itself. By my count, there were five turning points over the last year and a half that shaped the pact we have today. Its all detailed here theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

In the end, there are two major, and probably unanswerable, questions left on Canada’s strategy: Was it the correct move to play hardball at first and steadily concede, rather than making concessions early in a bid for a fast deal?

***I fucking love Mattis...

...Mattis on DoD/FEMA response to hurricane***

I don't think you reported much on it so that's probably a good sign, isn't it? (Laughter.)

SEC. MATTIS: Cheer up now, Barbara.

(LAUGHTER)

SEC. MATTIS: Just had to throw that in.
***On Syria

SEC. MATTIS: We are in Syria. Obviously, the fight is ongoing in the middle Euphrates's River Valley, and this is downstream now as you know from this is the last probably, I think some will say two percent, less than two percent of land.

What the fuck just happened today?

⚡️ Day 543: A disaster for our country.

whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2018/07/16/day…
1/ Trump rejected the consensus of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, saying he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would have interfered.

nytimes.com/2018/07/16/wor…
2/ GOP senators called the Trump-Putin press conference "bizarre," "flat-out wrong," "shameful" and a "missed opportunity" to not hold Russia accountable for 2016 election meddling.

1. Style versus Substance
At heart, almost all of Trump's opponents' bile against him is rooted in his style rather than his substance. Victor Davis Hanson has nailed it once again in explicating this beautifully. Allow me to serialize his quotes.
2. Elites Value Mellifluous Illegality over Crass Lawfulness

Obama defies the Constitution but sounds ‘presidential.’ Trump follows it but sounds like a loudmouth from Queens.
3. What drives Trump’s critics crazy is not any evidence that Trump has broken any laws, but that there are no criminal statutes against a president boorishly acting “unpresidential” in his loud quest to supercharge the economy, while undoing the entire agenda of his predecessor.
