Asian Americans have trended democratic for many years (after Bush), along the same lines as Latino Americans. . . .(though I believe the trend line for Asian Americans is a little bit steeper, i.e. moving democratic in greater numbers over time than Latino Americans). This is basically the same for every minority…
What is your point? You have insinuated that a 14 year old with a gun is probably not out selling cookies. Okay. Can you elaborate on how this point is relevant to the current conversation?
Guys—You left out the part where he compliments her by comparing her to Ivanka and then offers the caveat that only Ivanka is more beautiful. What a mensch!
Josh Marshall, of Talking Points Memo, has a heuristic for understanding Trump’s behavior: Trump’s Razor, which means, to understand what’s going on with Trump, you have to “’ascertain the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts’ and that answer is likely correct.”
Thank you for this! And, by the way, I could totally see why you would call me out for the original post. I think I meant it in a different way than many people do—but I also hate the horrible “he just didn’t know what he was doing!” trope that can surround this and other discussions of assault—and I totally support…
Look—I’m victim of gang rape. I have absolutely zero interest in saying that men who rape women are just confused about the notion of consent. I’m not at all impressed by “I’m stupid and I just misunderstood a woman’s behavior!”
Holy shit that is a powerful statement from Bryant. . . . . We’d live in a much better place if more people reflected on their actions like this. And a lot of men (and women) would be a hell of a lot better educated about the nature of sexual assault.
Thank god we all know exactly what weight-range Sheng-Long-Lives finds attractive, guys. I KNEW there was something I wanted to learn today.
I think Holt was awesome. At the beginning, I wish he’d done some more moderating--but, he was excellent during the last 45 minutes. When Trump didn’t actually answer a question, Holt pressed him on it--though this didn’t happen every time, given that Trump never actually answered a question. But generally this had…
Read & loved this in the New Yorker recently
No, Netanyahu is an idiot.
I don’t understand any informed voter not voting for Jill Stein
This is lovely. . . .
I found that cute! And also a little heartbreaking. . . . .b/c it seemed so out of the ordinary for a little kid to see a bunch of strangers and then nobly wave at them. But it was also cute.
FOUR MORE YEARS
Netanyahu actually despises Obama and has actively worked w/ Republicans in congress to humiliate/undermine him.
Oh, you are TOTALLY right my argument should have included local and state government--where third parties can be successful and should embraced! I wish that more well-organized, coherent progressive third parties were making MORE ground in state/local government--particularly in the places that vote overwhelmingly…
I’m feeling very unclean after this thread. People are literally posting step-by-step instructions on how to wash yourself. Also, for the first time in my life, just having the rest of my body attached to my (apparently) very dirty legs is grossing me out.
I think you are a cleaner person that I am.
Um, I think we may be on different pages. . . I simply said it would be shitty if someone had planted the story--I certainly don’t have any reason to believe that’s the case--or even to believe that is ever frequently the case.
