In fairness she was hot back in the 90s.

Kinda.

Evidently not as hot as Monica Lewinsky.

Billy Bob Thornton was married to Angelina Jolie and still cheated. Some men just can't have enough.

It is not Bill Clinton's fault that he could talk Nelson Mandela into giving him a handjob.

Oh, maybe it's different in the US.

Did you go to public school? In Canada, parents generally only pay for basic school supplies (paper, pencils, pens, binders, etc.). It usually doesn't cost that much, maybe $100.00 bucks a year.

What did they make your mother pay for?

They don't make you buy the textbooks?

I'm from the US and I never had to buy textbooks in K-12.

[Corrian]

This is somehow the weirdest discussion in this thread.

My mother had to.

Probably Texas' fault.

[Washington Resistance Army]

What years did she have to do that? I've never heard of such a thing.

Apologies, I just asked, she simply had to pay if they were lost or damaged.
My mistake.

Same, unless a book was lost/ruined. Then we had to cover cost of replacing it. Other than that textbooks and novels and the like were free.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was about to say that Texas is really bad

You can say that regardless.

Ah, that's the same as Maryland, then.

Gillibrand and Booker join Sanders, Warren and Cantwell by swearing off corporate PAC money

Good on them, if only more people would do the same.

[Corrian]

I am sure it is done out of political convenience, but I don't even care. Anything that gets rid of this shit. Good on them. I hope they stick with it and prove it.

Tbqh, I'm a little shocked Booker did that politically convenient or not.

[Post War America]

You're also from Massachusetts, a Commonwealth that actually spends money on education rather than expecting the Fed to do it all for them.

I think there's going to be alot of pressure from the leftist wing for this to be a litmus test for all the Dem candidates.

So is the plan just to have all the Democratic candidates tell loud obnoxious offensive lies in the hope that they'll get billions of dollars of free coverage from the media? Otherwise lack of money tends to equal lack of media presence and exposure, and as Trump has spent the last 2 years demonstrating the average voter has the attention span of a particularly dim goldfish.

I guess the expectation is for a Sanders-style funding machine. Not sure how well that will work though, especially if there’s a wide field in 2020.

Anything is possible if you believe comrade.

Doing it now, before it's even clear if they're going to run for president in 2020, means either they sincerely respect the principle of it or, if they are doing it for political convenience, at least they are paying attention and planning ahead.

This actually doesn't change my opinion of Gillibrand or Booker. I still dislike Gillibrand for reasons that have nothing to do with PAC money, and I still think Booker is a decent dude.
