“Buckaroo! The President wants to know if everything’s OK with the alien spacecraft from planet 10 or should he just go ahead and destroy Russia?”

True. I used to teach at a technical school, oh, a quarter century ago now. Seats were something like $500 per person, and I would have a class of 14 to 18 students. So $7,000 to $9,000 worth of tuition per day.
I was making $18 an hour, IIRC? $144 a day?

Hey, she had a beer on air with Colbert…
Pretty simple… people attack Biden and Harris for not doing anything about Israel, meanwhile one Amazon exec wears a pro Palestinian necklace and the internet loses its shit, calling for boycotts.

Guys, guys… it was a JOKE.
“Let’s just listen to music…”
It’s not comfortable until she hits 270…
As loathe as I am to use a BS argument…
Both Sides are wealthy. ;)
And people still wonder why neither one of them will decry Israel:
“removed from Texas voter rolls because they did not respond to letters about their citizenship.”
