Holmberg is an idiot

[El_Chapo]

The Herald had the Holmberg story for about 4 hours and then nothing.

a real journalist would take my post of 5-6 child predators/child porn ring in grand forks and tie them all together into a story and ask "what the hell is in the water up there?"

I think I see where the problem came with this "travel for teachers" deal... it was supposed to be pedagogical travel.

I wonder what is on the ND Ethics Commission's agenda for their December meeting?

Call me cynical, but I don't like seeing corporate lawyers on ethics commissions because their primary job is/was covering asses.

Does the commission view the ND citizenry as their clients or do they exist to cover the asses of the fossil dinosaur turd collection in Bismarck?

I looked at some of their decisions - and I saw a lot of verbiage about the Century Code rather than anything related to ethics - and that's just the kind of garbage you get from lawyers who decide that ethics is whatever you can get away with according to the "letter of the law."

Example: The North Dakota Family Alliance is buying dinner for the legislature and other political bigwigs and lobbying them while doing so. But they aren't serving alcohol. So free stuff from a fake dark money group masquerading as a charity! Legal so therefore ethical! Yay, ethics! Scanned Image (nd.gov)

And now we know why Rob isn’t reporting this one: Too close of a tie to UND and that violates his special moral code.

Port has been very critical of Trump and the lack of ethics by our Republican state legislators and fundraising organizations in the past several months.

…just not usually when those legislators have close UND ties.

He literally wrote an article about it today and referenced multiple other articles he's written on it in the past.

I must have missed it buried under the huge headline breaking news of the Fargo Theater not allowing an off-duty cop to bring a gun into their premise. My mistake.

It appears the only person shamelessly and pathetically defending that university anymore is you.

Port has been all over this story and a lot of other ND gov't shenanigans from both stupid major political parties over the last 2 years. I strongly dislike his viewpoint of collegiate athletics and higher education in general, but am 100% on board with how he takes Republicans (especially the Trumper faction) and Democrats to task on a regular basis.

I don’t disagree and I have noticed he’s hard on Trumpers, too. It doesn’t make his shameless clear bias against NDSU any more digestible and even though this particular topic may be an exception to that bias, he can still go fuck himself.

That's fair, and also why I feel a little dirty when I find myself agreeing with him on such a regular basis on other topics.
