Our expectation is that the successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. We are especially interested in individuals who have experience with diverse populations who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of athletic opportunities at Williams. Candidates from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.


The Job Opening?

Assistant Coach of NORDIC SKIING.

No racist or bigoted presumption there.....

Chill out.

A good friend of my wife's was a champion at slalom/giant slalom.  Went to a boarding school in Vermont that trained skiers for the Olympic team.  He's black.

Moved on to other things, married a beautiful Norwegian woman, moved to Oslo, has opened a couple of Burrito restaurants and is doing well in a country where casual dining is a true niche, had a couple of beautiful kids and takes them skiing just about every day.

Just thought I'd share.

So, I guess that's a NO from you

[NeedsAdjustments]

Yes.  But you have to do good fucking work to stay, unlike Obama's people, who just had to......

Bullshit.  Tom Price, Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt, all guys mired in scandal for misappropriation of public funds and it took months before they were finally forced to leave.

Meanwhile the head of the OSC, who Trump appointed, does his job and the WH threatens to fire him because exposing lawlessness in the administration is a fireable offense.

kiidcarter8 much more comfortable with that than *gasp* black people in the cabinet.

Bolton and Pompeo are trying to gin up a war with Iran to take the heat off.

Bolton and Pompeo have wanted war with Iran since Milania was in diapers.

And I believe Trump when he says he doesn't want war with them.  Yet. Whether that is calculated to delay hostilities until they are closer to the election, I can't be sure.  I'm certainly not confident that Trump will resist the urge should his reelection prospects go (further) south.

Blackburn!

That iggy lasted long.

I don't post this to endorse Biden.  But it strikes me how fucking normal a response like this should be.  "Yeah, the integrity of our Democracy is more important than my winning an election."

We truly can not appreciate how fucked up it is that Trump can't even get himself there.  And then the rest of the GOP enables it!

History will not look back kindly.

Read somewhere:

Trump thinks spying on North Korean dictator is unconscionable, but endorses hostile foreign spying of Joe Biden.

This is where we are, folks.

Doubt Israel wants war with Iran.

Heh

Joe's an open book.  No "spying" needed.

Is anyone watching When They See Us?

Saw it last week.

Ask Linda Fairstein what she thought of it.

[kiidcarter8]

Sorry.  Don't know her.

Asshole.

The very structure of our Republic is being dismantled and you’re blowing kisses at the destructors.
