Reply to comment by whygohomie in Southern Regional graduate, now a Princeton University student, charged in Jan. 6 riot at U.S. Capitol by Meetybeefy

Well said, here's another tibbit of how far right we've gone: The wingnuts were claiming that Justice Kennedy was a bleeding heart liberal during his last few years. He was nominated to the court in 1987 by none other than Ronald Reagan. As people say: Reagan, the right's ultimate hero before DT took that mantle wouldn't even make the GOP primary in this day and age, he'd be booed off the stage.

I had a political science professor in community college who downplayed Republican extremism back during the 2016 election and sort of mocked students who talked about how afraid they were of the possibility of Trump winning. He acted condescending and told us how things wouldn’t change much because Republicans don’t government as extremely as social media makes people think they do.

Reply to I’m out of state for work and need to renew my drivers license, I have some questions about the online renewal. by [deleted]

As long as you renew an NJ license on or after your 21st birthday, the license will be a normal horizontal license. I remember going to the DMV on my birthday to renew it when I turned 21 and it was indeed horizontal (back when they printed it on the spot).

Whether the paper temporary license receipt is valid out of state would really depend on whether or not New York recognizes it.

I too graduated from Southern Regional, many years before him. That area of NJ(Southern Ocean County) is unfortunately full of these Trump supporting confederates. Just take a look at who is running the local offices there. They even ran out some of the more moderate Republicans who hadn't quite finished drinking their entire glass of kool-aid yet.

It's a shame that someone like this took up a spot at Princeton that could have been used by someone who doesn't try to violently overthrow America.
