The real reason he won’t is likely that they will show that he’s not nearly as wealthy as he claims to be. This is also likely the reason that Russia has him under their thumb, not his watersports fetish.

Agree, and I feel like the press made the worst possible choice on talking about the Comey nonsense. Mostly rejecting any notion that it could seriously hurt Clinton’s candidacy, while simultaneously talking about it nonstop almost all the way until Election Day after it dropped. If I were an on the fence Clinton…

Well, a not insignificant proportion of the people in Antarctica at any given time are climate scientists, so they are rightfully terrified of a Trump administration. And yes, poor people generally voted for Clinton, she only lost because the Comey debacle pushed enough Republicans who were planning not to vote into…

The problem isn’t necessarily that his suits are cheap, its more that he just buys fancy name brand suits off the rack and doesn’t get them tailored right. Fat guys like Trump and me can’t just buy suits off the rack (or at least not fancy name brand ones) because they aren’t designed with our bodies in mind.…

Or like pay someone to make him a jacket that fits. I have a similar paunchy build and, while I make a decent salary, I have nowhere near his supposed wealth, yet I have managed to find stores/tailors that make jackets that fit me, that I can button. I’m not talking about those rando online “tailor-made” places like…

The thing is though, even if they showed all of the inside pages of the passport, a lack of a Czech stamp would mean nothing. Travel within most of the EU countries (give or take a few) is governed by the Schengen Agreement which allows people to travel within countries that have signed on to it (including the Czech…

What are you hoping that we do to stop Jeff Sessions from getting confirmed? We have no power to stop the Republicans from jamming him down our throat and anything negative on his record probably is something that appeals to the deplorables anyways.

I’m pretty sure specifically defunding Planned Parenthood would be unconstitutional. While the government can deny funds to certain medical procedures, they can’t deny funds to a specific provider for procedures for which other medical providers receive federal funds.

Is it better to die in Trump’s America or live in Pence’s?

I mean what they say is objectively more awful and horrific than Trump’s tweets, but at the same time, they don’t have the potential to accidentally trigger nuclear war... Trump’s tweets are a threat to public safety in a way no other twitter account is...

Well, Oregon was kind of originally founded as a white supremacy paradise were no black people would be allowed (they were anti-slavery, but because they didn’t want to allow any black people in the territory, not so much because they thought slavery was morally reprehensible), so that kind of makes sense...

Because it actually matters. I’m White, and I don’t hate other White people solely on the basis of our shared race, but the collective identity of “Whiteness” as defined by the course, IS a problem. We currently live in a society that is essentially a benign white supremacy. It’s not white supremacy in the Nazi/hatred…

As a White person, I agree completely.

Personally I’m really afraid what’s going to happen in 2020 (or maybe 2024) onwards when our country’s demographics shift to the point that even voting rights laws and the Electoral College won’t be enough to protect white supremacy at an electoral level, especially given that Trump may be president when that happens…

I think one big thing that both Swinton and Cho fail to realize and grapple with here is the outsized role Chinese politics plays in filmmaking decisions for big budget Hollywood movies. Cho is right to question why Hollywood, even though they realized the Ancient One character was an atrocious stereotype, couldn’t…

I usually would agree with your opinion that its bullshit for white people to call on their one POC friend to be the voice of their entire race for them, but in this case I do think its slightly different. I think Swinton sent the e-mail because she heard that Cho was speaking out against the movie (and rightfully so,…

Yeah, I kind of agree. Tilda clearly exists in her own universe (not just like a white privileged one, but a space alien one) and was legit asking Cho for help and how she can be better in the future. She even took the comment about how, even though the role was changed (for clearly legit reasons, since her original…

Unless Democrats win by like 55% of the national popular vote in the House, we are, unfortunately, doomed there.

The GOP electorate would eat them alive in 2018. Every sitting Republican would be primaried into oblivion (well not every, but a lot). And they would still control the House because of gerrymandering, the only difference would be that instead of demon fuckbags, we have insane demon fuckbags in charge and no grownups.

I almost made the same mistake. Kasich is still a dickbag, but he’s a rare dickbag that never supported Trump and refused to vote for him.
