Anyone else enjoying this College admission scandal a little too much

I am loving this.
Slowly draining the swamp rats one at a time.
Self important, arrogant, liberal loons that preach do as I say, not as I do.
Can’t find the tweet but someone posted that these were some of the political contributions by candidate:
6- Rotten
6-Obama
0- Trump
Loving It

Kinda feel bad for the kids if any really didn't know (doubtful).

Are they all liberals? Seriously asking because I’d love to make that point against lefties

Just proves Ivy League schools are what we all thought they were.
Overrated pay for play networking schemes for the coastal elite. Why anyone in the middle class would ever vote Democrat is beyond my capacity for comprehension.

After reading the comments from Aunt Becky's kid regarding education I don't feel sorry for the kids at all. These kids are the entitled little fricks everyone thought Trump's kids would be like.

I wonder if anyone at CNN has picked up on the irony of having Chris Cuomo covering this story?

Heard this morning that one of the girls received a rowing scholarship to one of the schools.
She has never rowed a boat.
I'm guessing she knew what was up.

Why do we care about this?
Isn't this just capitalism at work?

You know this is what really pisses me off about it...
The bribes and "donations" and however else they choose to funnel money to a school for admission is one thing... Quite frankly, I expected that was happening all the time...
There is a kid out there that busted their arse academically and athletically that was screwed out of a scholarship that they probably needed in order to financially attend school...

I bet this is pretty commonplace. It's sort like job resumes.

Do these schools produce anything other than career politicians/government bureaucrats/journalists/leftist operatives any more? I'd hire somebody from Northwestern State before I hired some entitled little prick from an Ivy League school.

Don't think college acceptance has anything to do with a form of govt.

How could these idiots not know? This is the classic “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Better yet, rhe game was being played by a bunch of pompous, elitist pricks. I don’t have any sympathy for any of rhe players — parents or children.

Capitalism at work would be a reversal of Griggs v Duke Power.

Bribery =/= capitalism. Try again.

It's humorous, but I don't even see the big deal. Paying for your rich little brat to better themselves against their own will is basically the American Dream these days.
ETA: I believe there should be punishments, but just like restitution and whatnot. Not jail time.

Not when fraud is involved. They were paying to have grades changed / hiring people to take ACT / SAT for the kids.

Makes you wonder who would have gotten those spots if they weren’t illegally taken.

Bribery of this type and the social caste system it leads to is more often associated with socialism.

Creating false, athletic recruiting profiles and basically paying to have their kid ranked (think star ratings in football recruiting) when they were not even playing the sport...
I really hope they hang the coaches that were involved in this...
