XCP graduate here! People like this patriarchal prick are why I specifically volunteered for PP in high school (despite it being forbidden by the school), tried to take same sex dates to school dances (again forbidden - never gained entry), and consequently received approximately 50+ detentions throughout my tenure.…

I have so much anger and confusion attached to all of the comments on this article. I was a SSM member for awhile and I did benefit from it but after awhile the stories got stale and it was all about recruiting. Since when does a “subscription based coaching service” pressure its member to forcibly recruit their…

White tears, white tears everywhere

It might help if you don’t believe they are doing it for altruistically racist ideas (“The poor POC just can’t pull it off without White-Man’s (tm) help”), but rather entirely selfish purposes (“A more diverse set of elected representatives that better represent the racial and ethnic make up of this country is better…

Goodbye. I have perished from the stupidity of this article. I’ve loved you all.

Yeah. As shitty as it is that they are exploiting their children like this, they - the parents - did give consent. It’s no different than reality shows. The kids don’t have a choice and it’s the parents who make these decisions.

The zodiac killer bit was hilarious. The joke was that he kept going back to it.

Agreed. Honestly, aside from never really getting into a good groove because the room was so hostile, I thought this was on par with the similarly poorly received (at least in the room) but brilliant job that Stephen Colbert did at the WHCD in 2006. It was a perfect DGAF send-off to a great President who similarly has…

Larry understood something important about how Obama puts together these dinners: The jokes aren’t for the people in the room. They’re for the folks at home, who for one night get to see these self-important Washington pricks get taken down a peg.

Yup! Not a single glorious fuck was given by Larry. And the best part was that Obama seemed to really enjoy it. Maybe minus the drone bit - but alas, that was fully deserved.

I also loved how Larry Wilmore did not give a single fuck about the audience. He straight up did not care about their opinion or their reactions except to laugh at them for being a tough (white) crowd.

Let’s be real. If Hillary was a man, she’d have had the nomination locked up in 1992.

If Hillary were a man she would have been President from 1992 to 2000.

Yep. That’s why Tabasco is great for heavy diner food, or anything bland - brightens it all right up.

Frank’s Red Hot is the best hot sauce thank you goodbye.

Well, since you work for PP you are part of the establishment and therefore your opinions/endorsements don’t count.

What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…

I agree entirely about superdelegates. You know what the primary process isn’t? A democracy.
