Newscasters do their best to respond to Trump’s shithole comments. It didn't go well.

    That is NOT your bogus allegation. This is what you fallaciously claimed.

    Your link totally FAILS to substantiate that college grads earn $100k pa in entry level positions in their first two or three years of working. In fact it PROVES that that they DON'T earn anything close to that amount.

    My claim is college grads earn more LOTS more than high school grads are you denying that? I gave you an example of such a disparity and then the averages which prove that college grads earn substantially more than high school grads entering the workplace. Are you claiming that NO college grads earn $100,000 entering the workplace? Just a bachelors degree earns on average $20,000 more. Take $10,000 of that each year, up the amount each year and pay off the student loans.

    Do you planning on just being argumentative or do you want to acutally discuss the matter?

    You made a fallacious allegation that you could NOT substantiate. You made it sound as though every college grad had $40k per year to pay back loans.

    Now you are moving the goalposts and alleging that it is $20k which it is not by a long shot because that is BEFORE taxes. At most it MIGHT be $10k and for loans of $80k - $120k that means an entire DECADE of working in order to pay it off. Furthermore that was an AVERAGE of $20k more than HS grads. For all of those college grad making LESS than the average it could be TWO DECADES to pay off those loans.

    The math doesn't lie!

    So you DON'T have a consistent standard. Got it.

    Mia Love's come to Mt. Trumpus moment

    Republican Congresswoman Mia Love of Utah was no fan of Donald John Trump.

    On Saturday, Trump welcomed home Joshua Holt, a Mormon from Utah, freed from custody in Venezuela. The case received little attention outside the Beehive State, but Utahns were very concerned and worked two years on getting his release

    Senate President Pro Tempore Orrin Hatch of Utah praised the president's efforts, as well as those of Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker of Tennessee, and committee staffer Caleb McCarry, Bush 43's expert on Cuba.

    Corker is hardly a Trumper.

    But they worked together.

    However, it was Love's praise of the president that impressed me. In the White House ceremony, Love spoke directly to President Trump.

    "I don’t think that there is a person in the United States right now that doesn’t realize that you have their back. I so wanted to personally thank you for keeping a promise that you made to me. Every time I would go and see you, I would bring up Joshua’s name, and you would say, ‘I’m going to do everything I can.’ And obviously, I believe it," Love said.

    She has learned something about Trump's words. They can be entertaining. They can be irritating. They can be baffling. But the only words that matter are the ones in his promises because he keeps those.
