Evidence is shown that coffee was served well above average temperatures and was so hot it could kill someone.

Hillary's EMAILZ and the Russians were involved, too. It was one big master plan.

So, just so were all square now. It's Trump or the Democrats. Which is the same choice we had in 2016 but a lot of people apparently didn't get the memo or are ashamed of how they did nothing to stop it.

Hell is other people f-cking.

Re: POTUS 45.22 - The Genius of Donald Trump
It is widely accepted that the foundation of a strong democracy is to have an educated electorate. That belief is based on the idea that educated men and women can reason through the pros and cons of diverse alternatives to identify solutions to problems that are optimal. Individuals, accepting the responsibilities of their role in establishing rule through representation, will reason about which candidate can best represent their perspectives on the problem.
Picking a representative becomes a matter of identifying the candidate who shares their particular perspective on a problem. This sounds like a simple act that only requires that a person with one set of views to select another person with the same set of views to represent them. Achieving a strong democracy would be so simple if two people existed that shared the same perspectives on all of the important problems. Still, an educated person could reason through the alternatives and select the candidate that best represents the majority of views or, at least, those views that are held most dear. Clearly, it is true that an educated person is more capable of reasoning through a problem than an uneducated person. The real question is whether an educated electorate is more likely to reason through the issues put forth than an ignorant electorate? That is an easy question. Ask any lover if reason is a stronger force in life than passion.
Individuals of great education and reasoning ability can argue two points of view for years without resolution. As debates progress, it becomes easy for the participants to become wedded to a perspective with the consequence that counterpoints are ignored, discounted, or labeled as outright false. Reason retreats under the power and fury of emotion. If the education of the electorate is not the ultimate foundation for a strong democracy, then what is? Emotion clearly doesn't support democracy. Hero worship can lead directly to a dictatorship in which faults, flaws, and criminal acts are ignored by supporters because of the rose colored glasses they wear. Millions still worship the leadership provided by Stalin. Hitler still has his fans.
The greatest foundation of a strong democracy is that representatives must defend their position periodically and do so in an open forum. The positions, interests, and character of the candidates are exposed to the electorate. Those who better represent their interests can replace candidates that stop promoting the interests of those they represent. Corruption, incompetence, arrogance, and deceit can be exposed and the individuals replaced. It is in this manner that true power resides in the electorate.
If an educated electorate is not the foundation for a strong democracy, then what is value of education with respect to a democracy? Education does not serve democracy best by creating an educated electorate, but by providing a much larger pool of candidates to serve as representatives. Shrinking the pool of candidates leads to a restriction of choice and that reduces the power that resides in the electorate. Such actions can spiral out of control leading to the establishment of a monarchy. The establishment of a larger pool of candidate representatives is not the only value of education regarding democracy. Educated people put forth the solutions about which the representatives argue. Reducing the pool of educated people reduces the quality of the solutions that can be put forth. The ultimate result is a spiral towards mediocrity.

Good thing Trump, Scott Walker, Brownback, and basically every Republican are so interested in funding education in this country!

Just like the very red colored states. Where education funding has clearly taken a huge hit.
