This is a good question, but also sort of irrelevant, since in the NFL they can cut him right after he exercises his option.

No, no props here. Did you watch the segment? He’s not trying to dig into Asian American issues, he’s just making fun of them based entirely on stereotypes. That’s his whole shtick, he shows up someplace he otherwise would never go, shoots a ton of video to get a minute or two to confirm a stereotype, then he puts it…

Well, let’s be honest, it did happen to our city. And considering how many islamophobic red staters claimed ownership over 9/11 then used it as an excuse to push our country to do terrible things, I think your contempt may be misplaced.

Exactly my concerns. The US manufacturers he thinks he’d help with his trade war largely buy their inputs from overseas suppliers. (full disclosure, I’m not one of those bankers, but I am one of their lawyers)

To your first paragraph re tax brackets and Trump’s cuts — we’d see about 15-20k less per year in income taxes if he put into place his most recent plan (assuming the apocalypse wasn’t immediate). To your second paragraph, Trump said exactly that publicly in a 2006 speech (I believe to the Trump U folks he was…

Edit — now I see what you were saying. I was in school for that tax cut, but as I saw it the people that benefited in the near term also lost in the long term when the entire stock market collapsed and the value of most well-off people’s investments took a giant shit. Ironically that wealth wasn’t restored until…

I love the last one — Bernie wasn’t a democrat except for this race, so that’s not a great exception to point out.

I’d rather have some physical scars than live with having killed someone, even someone that might have deserved it (or at least would have been justifiable). Just because you can see the face scars doesn’t mean they are worse.

“I don’t understand nuance”

seems like you have it covered there chief. good job.

As it relates to being sexist, whether or not a man has a wife and daughters only matters if he’s a politician and wants to preface actually saying something that might veer into being moderately decent. At least that’s what I’ve seen the last several days on TV.

How pissed is Jeb! now that he knows that Billy definitely remembered the tape and never told Jeb! about it?

He has been accused of this exact behavior publicly by at least 3 women, 2 of them right around the time of the tape and one more recently via a reporter friend. See Erin Burnett’s statement on this — it was a friend of hers, it happened in front of a witness and has been confirmed by multiple sources.

Billy Bush has made a public apology for the comments — if there was context we should know he probably would have offered it up.

I should add that both Miss Utah and the makeup artist had one other detail the same in their allegations (that predate the tape’s release by several years) — that Trump tried to have sex with them against their will in his daughter’s bedroom. But go ahead, make your “minor” defense of a guy that so clearly wants to…

That’s fair. But people weren’t saying that they were going to vote for down ballot candidates, they were just talking about what joke or protest vote to make for POTUS. I happen to think that if one is typically a party-line voter but finds their candidate so horrifying that they’d go against the party, they might…

I actually think the “Trump’s comments were 11 years ago, that’s forever ago. Let’s talk instead about Bill Clinton’s actions in the 70s” argument is even dumber. But it’s all fucking absurd.

Wait — we finally get the death panels! I’m pumped. That’s the whole reason I voted for Obama.

it’s cuck porn, right?

Also says a great deal about how incompetent the entire GOP is. They were more worried about the risk of offending the KKK wing of Trump’s support than they were about doing decent oppo research on him. This tape is 11 years old, and none of the 16 other idiots (including Billy Bush’s cousin for fucks sake) managed…
