Being a bit of a fan boy of democracy its also a massive point that America is now being lead by the politics of the minority. The electoral college is fundamentally a system which fails basic democratic ideology and like a prerequisite in maths it fails as an instrument of majority role guaranteed.

Well the potential of a multitude of real lawsuits, a Republican party that may grow to hate their own “CEO” president and the mind blowing almost certainly Presidential ending reality if a link to Russian assistance and cohesion is established still remain.

Well done the right wing, your monster has come, he is the greatest right winger ever. Trumped by your own ideology, the survival of the fittest, with fitness being determined by your winningness. This is history.

Dirty elections always favour the right. This idea of two bad corrupt candidates sucked out all the vibrancy of "yes we can."
"Crooked Hillary "campaigning worked. Remember Donny Brash nearly won here by calling clarks government, "the most corrupt in history" and Johnny K just fed on that . The smearing works.

In the eyes of the architects everyone is trying to achieve a blandness of personality and a development of business skill sets, to create a perfect dream National Party citizenry.
Art is only for rich kids whose parents can bankroll their gap year(s) abroad.

A seclusion room is a cupboard with a window. It is a really nasty business for child and enforcer. Also the reluctance of the individual to be secluded means the achievement of said task is sometimes quite physical.

The teacher aide spends most of the time with the pupil. The experts spend very little time with the individual yet they talk like it's the other way round. We need to make working in this sector a real profession with solid fulltime pay, training and systems.
Mainstreaming young students gives them an ability to negotiate social situations at the same pace as their peers. It can be a huge advantage for a student to feel part of the social fabric at a young age, consequently hiding young people from society is a recipe for disaster. Yes, they melt down but so do all students and an acceptance of procedure and proper technique is what is needed. If you come into a special needs room for a day you may be shocked but within a week you will realise that most of the time these students are gathering important social and academic skills and getting extremely tense about issues is just part of the human brain that we all deal with in some degree.

Great loss. The Union movement has been slowly weakened by strong political business desires to stop collectivisation, much to the detriment of low paid workers and their bargaining ability. I have tremendous respect for her and the whole union movement. Their survival is hard and unmerited and constantly undermined by vested interests. Yet the likes of Helen battle on for those who have no real voice, such respect, such a loss.

Hard News: Trump's Dummkopfs, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
I do agree, it would of been a good strategy to destroy such a bigoted man, they went for Trumps record , a pitiful garbage of nonsense and bluster and lies. Setting HC up but yeh that guy is a disgrace.

Hard News: Trump's Dummkopfs, in reply to Rob S,
Absolutely the strategy. Joe Biden slammed Ryan with interruptions but they were just quick slick factual rebutals, but Joe Biden is a fantastic debater. Kaine got a lot of wtf moments that will be played out on news and social media for a while, still if Kaine didn't win that debate I think you aren't weighing ideas fairly, and if you thought Pence was nice, then Jesus, you are a sucker.
