Because, like Bill O’Reilly, he has genuinely racist ideas and beliefs and when he gets caught crossing the line yet again he tries to play them off as jokes. Just like Bill O’Reilly when he gets caught in similar gaffes.

So what’s your solution, ban people for life over a teenage mistake? Make them go away and with zero shot of redemption?

As I understand it, there were 3 tribes in question. Two supported her, the third publicly complained. She made peace with this third one. 

Let’s rewind for a moment and remember how this mess started. Republicans unearthed an old comment she made where she said that her grandparents told her she had a Native American ancestor. Trump called her Pocahontas and Republicans jeered at her, calling her a liar. So to shut them up she took a DNA test after Trump…

And what mess did she start? She said that her grandparents told her she had a Native American ancestor. Trump called her Pocahontas and Republicans jeered at her, calling her a liar. So to shut them up she took a DNA test after Trump repeatedly goaded her into one, and yes she had evidence of a Native American…

Of course Trump will try again. He’s a bully who got embarrassed, he will try again to try and regain some of his image. I guarantee he is looking into ways to keep airports open but the rest of the government shut down in 3 weeks.

Trump/Pence wouldn’t know MLK if he slapped him in the face. Then again, Pence walked out of an NFL game over kneeling but then had the gall to tweet how MLK was a marvelous example of nonviolent protest. 

A “Glomar response” is “we can neither confirm nor deny the claims.” Named after the Glomar Explorer story where the CIA was trying to raise a sunken Russian nuclear sub to get its secrets.

I thought the defense was that they were using the word that ended in -a and not -er.

Trump never cared about Due Process, he supported Guantanamo and taking guns away. He doesn’t know how the laws work and couldn’t get through a single explanation of the Constitution before growing bored around the 4th Amendment.

Yes. He said the N-word. He also said a lot of racist things about Arabs and some bigoted things about Muslims, but somehow he’s got some hardcore fans. He’s a leftwing version of Bill O’Reilly.

Because they’re dismissing his experiences in favor of their dogma. He hasn’t seen any tangible effect in his neighborhood, and they can’t picture it. If you can’t grasp the despair in low-income black communities, you shouldn’t lecture because it makes you come off as condescending.

Don’t give Maher any more exposure. He’s a racist and bigot, and the sooner he goes away the better.

They’re small blankets. Not rugs. Some dumb rancher assumed a blanket was a prayer rug.

He knew the “national emergency” would get shot down in court immediately (and open the doors to Democrats trying the same later), it was just a bluff.

I still don’t like the idea that the TSA is extorting money from me. “Pay us or we make you take your shoes off.” I feel like I’m rewarding their bad behavior.

I feel like people just do a Control-F and don’t actually read the passages these are from. That is not what the Quran says.

The phrase “Bury me, my Love” in Arabic is more than that. While that’s the literal translation, it means I couldn’t bear to live without you so I’d rather be the one to die first. It’s actually a much more romantic idiom in the original Arabic.

That’s not a spine, that’s cowering in fear. They’re all too afraid to cross Trump, so they keep quiet and do nothing. Even McConnell is hiding from the public.

Can he not keep track of his own lies anymore? He was claiming that the FBI hated Comey, Giulinai was on TV before the eleciton saying the FBI despised Hillary and was pro Trump. Now he’s pretending the FBI is top to bottom aganist him?
