The Language Got a Little Salty on CNN Monday Night

If Bakari Sellers thought he could trot out an emotional guilt trip and quietly justify racist gerrymandering on live TV, Kevin O’Leary wasn’t about to let that slide. He didn’t just push back—he pulled the curtain back on the whole performance, forcing a raw, uncomfortable showdown between the U.S. Constitution and Sellers’ political theater. And Sellers let loose with some salty language in the process.
...
O’Leary jumped in with a blunt take, saying the Supreme Court had effectively settled the matter. “I think everybody should take confidence in the fact the Supreme Court basically supported one vote, one person guaranteed in perpetuity, and the rest is just map wars,” he said. “And I think we should get used to it. And I think it's, as you said, a state-based situation. Add this to the mix. At the end of the day, the state decides at the state level. It's in the Constitution. Get over it.”

That, apparently, set Sellers off.

“The problem with that sentiment is that you were born in 1954,” Sellers shot back, immediately turning the argument into a generational and moral rebuke. O’Leary, never one to miss a chance to needle someone, replied, “Yes,” when Sellers noted his age, then joked, “By the way, I'm a vampire.”
...
“So, I'm going to finish this comment. So, what I'm telling you is that there are people in this country who fought, died, and bled for the right to vote. Don't be a d**k, just understand. Just understand.”

O’Leary didn’t care for that and pushed back immediately, insisting he was simply defending the Constitution. “I’m not a d**k. I’m pointing something out to you. The Constitution's being upheld. You have a problem with that? You have a problem with the Constitution of the United States of America?” he asked.

I'm not sure what, exactly, the problem is with being born in the mid 1950s. Does Seller imagine we could not, in our youth, have realized how awful racism was (and is)? I figured that out at about age 7 or 8, when my parents informed me that some people hate others because of the color of their skin. Does Seller imagine we did not see the efforts and suffering of many in the Civil rights movement? It was news about the Civil Rights movement that occasioned my parents informing me about racism.

It does not take seeing a racist face to face or seeing a loved one or friend assaulted/killed for their skin color to realize that racism is stupid and reprehensible.

Seattle Teachers Union’s Brand-New President on Leave for Abuse Allegations

A Seattle teachers’ union just elected a new president who is reportedly on extended leave over allegations of abusing a student. It is difficult to fathom the depths of our public education system's corruption.

It appears that the Seattle Education Association (SEA) has not actually inaugurated Ibijoke Idowu as president yet, but the union did certify its election results, with Idowu in the lead, on Friday, according to information SEA spokeswoman Julie Popper shared with The Seattle Times. Therefore, unless the scandal becomes too big for the union to ignore, the accused abuser will likely be leading her fellow deranged educators.

I could be wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the union members who voted for Idowu had no idea who she was but thought her name sounded “diverse.” It remains to be seen if the union will decide to replace her immediately with someone else or whether they will consider her alleged child abuse immaterial.

She was (is? ) a special ed teacher.

In DUmmie-Prog Speak:

"Attacking the press" means "Points out MSM lies";

and

"Suppressing speech on campuses" means "Preventing antisemitic violence and blocking antisemitic university admissions".

I don't want to read it. I am sure its full of stupid.

Here's the short version: Trump is Hitler suppressing freedom because he doesn't want pro-Palestinians on college campuses to intimidate and beat up Jews.

That is definitely filed under "Stuff that never happened." I'm from Seattle and have been to BC many, many times. The Canadian border guys are complete assholes even to Americans and would never in a million years let an illegal cross the border so "There's no ICE here" makes no sense whatsoever.
