hey i'm not saying we're great, or even all that good, and i think someone should light cuomo's greasy hair on fire so his face gets so deformed that running for office is never an option for him. all the same, i'd rather live under the bullshit government we've got than the bullshit federal government

believe me, i will be the most vocal advocate against his presidential run when the time comes. the good news is that Trump kept Bharara as the district attorney for Manhattan and Albany, so there's a nonzero chance he'll put Cuomo on trial and damage his reputation enough to make his name toxic

My mom was an elementary school teacher for more than 25 years, was chosen by the Bush administration as a panel member to advise them on No Child Left Behind - her advice being nononono - and now she trains educators through the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching

Her reaction to this is basically :cripes:
