11 November, Gothenburg, an explosive device was placed outside the office of a syndicalist movement. The device was detonated by police in a controlled explosion.[64]
I'm going to wager that this wasn't motivated by radical Islamism.

What is the relevance of these two incidents to the discussion?

Hmm, what's the relevance of a terrorist plot in Sweden when terrorist plots in Sweden are being talked about?

Benny, nothing happened on Friday in Sweden. It was a Trump lie.

On to the the next lie.

Image
On November 18, 2016 it was reported that Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle the two class-action lawsuits and the New York suit. The settlement was reached ten days before the San Diego class action was scheduled to go to trial. Of the $25 million, $21 million will go to the participants in the class-action suits, $3 million will go to New Yorkers not covered by the class-action suits, and a penalty of up to $1 million will be assessed by the state of New York for running an unlicensed university.
Funny that he used charity dollars to bribe the Florida AG to not join the suit.
The office of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in September 2013 that it was considering joining a New York lawsuit against Trump University.[77][78] Four days later, the Donald J. Trump Foundation donated $25,000 to "And Justice for All," a 527 group supporting Bondi's re-election campaign. Following this, Bondi declined to join New York in the lawsuit.

Shut up. Benny and the other Trumpettes need to feel their feelings.

NOTHING HAPPENED FRIDAY IN SWEDEN!

TRUMP SAID SOMETHING HAPPENED FRIDAY IN SWEDEN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED FRIDAY IN SWEDEN!

THAT IS THE SALIENT ISSUE!

RAPE, SOMALIAN GANG VIOLENCE, CHILD PROSTITUTION ARE EVERYDAY OCCURRENCES NOW BUT NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE KEY POINT: NOTHING PARTICULAR HAPPENED FRIDAY IN SWEDEN!

TRUMP IS SUCH A MANIAC!

Trump's references to Sweden seemed to suggest that the country's welcoming approach to refugees and its alleged effects on crime rates should be a warning sign. But were the president's remarks justified?

“Absolutely not,” said Felipe Estrada Dörner, a criminology professor at Stockholm University. His response was echoed Monday by multiple other experts who are familiar with Swedish crime statistics.

Overall, Sweden's average crime rate has fallen in recent years, Dörner said. That drop has been observed for cases of lethal violence and for sexual assaults, two of the most serious categories of crime.

"fake news" is an anagram of "swank fee."

This is kooky talk. DeVos demonstrated in her hearings that she pretty clearly doesn't even follow actual education policy. She refused to support holding charter schools even to the minimum standards "failing" public schools are held. That's not what you do if you care about kids.

She has no relevant education or (more importantly) any relevant experience to overcome it. She was just born and then married rich and donated lots of money.

Not a lot of issues affect me too directly, but school quality is certainly one of them, and I want somebody in charge who has some concept of how to improve schools. This is obviously a person who has absolutely no idea, and if she wanted to have one, she'd have had one long before now.

There may one day be a Republican who will come along with the solutions needed to improve America's schools. I certainly hope so. It's not this no-nothing dullard.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Best case for Republicans: she'll reduce union influence at a federal level. Without new legislation, that's all she can really do. In your particular case, you'll still have to deal with biweekly strikes courtesy of the CTU.
