The Country Stephen Miller Wants To Live In

Doctor: "Where were you born?”

Curly: “In a hospital.”

Doctor: “Why?”

Curly: “I wanted to be near my mother!”
You know, teenagers can be more cooperative than that. Trump probably thinks if he can kidnap the Ayatollah, he’ll control Iran, too. After all, Mitch McConnell said all Trump has to do is notify Congress 48 hours after it’s over. Stephen Miller says this is exactly the country he wants to live in. And you thought you were voting for a better economy.
Surely the Board knows what democracy is. It is the line that forms on the right. It is the don’t in Don’t Shove. It is the hole in the stuffed shirt through which the sawdust slowly trickles; it is the dent in the high hat.
Or the ICE thug taking a pratfall while chasing a citizen with a camera.

And at Texas A&M University, English and Philosophy professors cannot include Plato in the curriculum. Specifically, they cannot teach the Symposium, because among the many discussions of love Aristophanes argues there were three genders in the beginning: male, female, and a mix of both. TAMU considers that “gender ideology,” and will not allow impressionable young Aggies (the student nickname) to be exposed to it.  TAMU has long been the source of “Aggie jokes” in Texas (basically about how dumb they are). The university is determined to meet that stereotype head on, and become it.
