I hate this prevailing argument from Sanders most diehard supporters is that somehow the candidate who beat “their guy” by more than 3 million votes and her general election opponent by another 2.8 million was somehow the inferior candidate of the three.

I just want to confirm as a minnesotan, a place where we have sizable Somali and Ethiopian populations, it’s a real possibility that the cab driver was Ethiopian. her story is awful either way, but it would put a different angle on it.

It’s both. It is Reagan. When I get in a cab, I tell them Reagan because regardless of how I feel about the man, I’m not making a great play by calling the airport by it’s old name. I think it’s liberal pretension or “who’s the newcomer” snobbery most of the time when people refuse to say Reagan.

Trump stays during the Rapture, dude is as dirty as they get, shit I am sure the devil is already melting a special pot of gold for Commander-in-Cheetos to boil in.

Oh god, think about how great it would be if all those people suddenly disappeared.

You know what’s great? How neither India nor Pakistan have nuclear weapons and itchy trigger fingers.

Except that if you read the transcripts of the interviews Trump gave to the New York Times and Washington Post, they sound exactly the same—as though someone had run them through Google Translate.

“Muslim” is not a language...

Except that he is, in effect, changing US foreign policy in a region where there are nukes at play, and he didn’t know it—nor does he have any interest in learning about it. If he did, he would have had more than three (3!) intel briefings by now.

ADJECTIVES-ONLY* VERSION:

Except that he promised to visit Pakistan. Which actually is an important diplomatic act. Obama refused to visit Pakistan to show his discontent with the inability of their leaders to control the Taliban and their continued aggressive acts towards india. Did he consciously mean to reverse long-standing US foreign…

Pakistanis are one of the most intelligent people...a fantastic country, fantastic place of fantastic people.

Is it just me or does Trump’s wording sound like a Nigerian scam email?

They should probably vet him before he visits. Then put him through some advanced interrogation, just to determine what his intentions are. Then if necessary, place him in some sort of camp until they determine what to do with people of his kind.

So that’s what it looks like when you hurriedly jot stuff down in Urdu and force it through Babblefish.

I think you nailed part of the problem, but most people can’t afford to be conscious consumers. We’ve created a negative feedback loop where we don’t pay people enough to shop outside of Wal-Mart, who uses their leverage to keep wages low in their stores, pressure to vendors to keep costs down who then suppress their…

I agree but as a consumer... do we fault the low-income person who has to shop at Walmart or big Walmart CEO’s who pay crap wages.

Um, well, I guess I disagree that buying clothes from the salvation army would solve anything, mostly because 1) it’s still prioritizing cheap clothing and 2) the clothing at the Army comes from somewhere, which means you still have consumers buying and tossing cheap clothes. Check out John Oliver’s segment on…

Well, and isn’t there also a third dimension, where common, every day people who may not work in the industry but consume things created by the industry also look the other way because cheap is always better? (Thus business managers pressure contractors because they want to be able to win the bid from a consumer who…

I like the way you distinguish between sins of commission and sins of omission. Those two groups of sinners need each other to game the system, and each can blame the other for creating conditions of systemic injustice.
