Huffman is literally saying that she thought her kid wasn't smart enough to go to college without her mother committing a crime to get her in.

[@richardarriaga6271]

Anyone can get in if they throw enough money. Huffman is jelly that she was about $10 mil too short a donation to win a slot

[@goldflo91]

Admitting she hasn't taught her daughter how to be smart, thus her bad parenting 😉

Because Congressperson is not a job you get *_hired_* for in the first place. I absolutely think it was right to oust Santos, but just as a general comparison, hourly jobs and typical salaried jobs are different from elected positions.

I lied on mine... Just hoping they never go back and check the credentials now 😳

[@RaymondHng]

@@theadamabrams An employee is subject to the rules of the organization and the supervisor the employee reports to. An employee does not legislate laws. Former House Representative George Santos was not an employee that filled out a job application and reported to a supervisor. He was an elected lawmaker in the federal legislature. There is no federal law that allows recall elections for federal elected officials in the executive and legislative branches of federal government. A higher ranking elected lawmaker cannot expel a lower ranking member. Elected federal lawmakers are subject to the laws of the United States Constitution and rules of the respective chamber of Congress. Article I, Section 5, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states: _Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members._ This clause implies that state legislatures cannot impose additional or stricter rules or qualifications on members of the U.S. House of Representatives beyond those specified in the Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court addressed this issue in the case of _Powell v. McCormack_ (1969), which involved the exclusion of a duly elected member from the House of Representatives. The Supreme Court held that the House had exceeded its constitutional authority by attempting to exclude Powell based on additional qualifications not specified in the Constitution. Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution states: _Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member._ Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly prohibit an incarcerated person from running for federal office. Former House Representative James Traficant ran for re-election as an independent while incarcerated in prison after he was convicted on ten counts of bribery, racketeering, and corruption and later, expelled from the House by a near-unanimous vote (420-1).

[@roc7880]

I remember a black mom who gave a false address to have her kid registered by a local school got years in prison.

[@onegemini420]

Had to give a false address for me when I wanted to go to a particular Junior High. They originally told us no bus stops in the area. So parent used a friend's address. Would get up at 4:30am to be driven to the bus stop in the morning. Only to find out that there was a stop a few blocks from my house and there was another student who was going. So we corrected the address and got my stop moved. We were never told why we were informed falsely that there were no buses for our area and they were going to deny me admission based on that when there was one within walking distance.

[@lfeb]

That's messed up!!! 😮

[@katmesarovich1668]

And was barred from continuing her profession as a teacher because she was a felon. Also the false address was that of her ex hiusband's, that is, family. Cruelty for cruelty's sake.

Very funny, and true. I guess it’s not enough for these kids with multimillionaire parents to have everything they ever wanted in life, the best clothes, the best homes, the best vacations, the best schools, the best "toys," the best exposure to the world, etc. etc. etc. They need to be allowed to cheat and steal a spot in college from kids who grew up working for everything they got in life thus far, and who had parents who worked more than one job to give their kids the stylish clothing the rich kids take for granted, the bike they can use to go back and forth to school, an alarm clocks get up EARLY every school day to take school buses long distances to take advantage of better public schools, etc. etc., etc. Those parents WORK and sacrifice to help their kids learn and earn a better life. And if their kids need extra help, they scrape together whatever money they can to hire tutors for their kids! And the rich try to steal that from them because their kids were too lazy, or too dumb to get into a school the right, and honest way! They make me sick! Bravo to the parents and kids who worked for and earned their place in a better life for themselves and their kids!

[@stehfreejesseah7893]

Rich people think they can do whatever they want, and generally they can.

It was hard work but I was proud to do it along side her cause she was those late nights out of love for me. Grew up very poor. Like outhouse poor but she gave me love and life lessons that made me who I am today. Those are things money cant buy and some of these rich kids will never know that feeling.
