Her criticisms were positively tame compared to what they could have been, legitimately, for so many good reasons. She was hilarious and they know it, so they have to pretend that she wasn’t and that she attacked someone’s appearance when she didn’t. We are all still sitting here able to replay the tape. We can hear

This was hilarious because it is PRECISELY how she treats the journalists at the press conferences. PRECISELY.

Indeed, how do we get a RuPaul runner up to take that job and start telling a litany of truths as WH press secretary? Our votes could make that happen, remember.

She’s a smart woman. She didn’t insult anyone’s looks. Journalists who are knowingly pretending that she did are themselves to blame for focusing on dishonest flim-flam rather than real stories like the ongoing slow-poisoning of an entire major city, especially its children! My god, what have we become.

Did I miss something? She didn’t attack Sanders’ looks at all. She said she was grinding up facts and turning them into a perfect smoky eye, which is not a criticism about makeup or appearance, but about LIES!!! People are just upset because she called out the complicity of the media in all this.

This is an excellent point - if we go on long enough apparently we get to the places of agreement. I would characterize the problem in these upper midwest areas as two different responses to the set of issues you mention. One response is Trump’s: thinly veiled (or at this point, unveiled) racial resentment,

I’m glad you posted this reference because now I understand why you are drawing this conclusion. The problem is, the data don’t support this conclusion. The difference you’re highlighting here, regarding wealthy vs poorer counties, tracks the urban/rural split between Trump and Clinton voters. A person making $50,000

Some people are making the argument that admitting more students who don’t perform as well will drag down the whole school. What is the evidence for this claim? Can anyone show some evidence that having students with a wider range of academic abilities has damaged the abilities of children with higher abilities at the

Is this supposed to be evidence of a narrative about “evil rich people”? Because I’m not seeing anything like that. You’re factually wrong if you think Trump voters don’t have higher average incomes. I don’t know what evidence you think you’ve shown to the contrary; I haven’t seen anything of the sort, probably

But we did get his knees, and maybe that’s a deep statement of its own! :)

You’re factually incorrect about several items which makes me doubt the rest of what you’re saying generally. Maya Angelou spent her teenage years in California. Harvard has a 98% graduation rate, among the highest in the nation, so even if every single student who dropped out was African American, which is definitely

I’m tired of the Catholics where I live rejecting their own Pope’s teachings. For a very long time they have been voting on issues like abortion, but now that the Pope wants them to care for poor people and immigrants, and not execute prisoners, they’re not so much about the Pope. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Many Republican Catholics nowadays do not respect their Pope because he doesn’t agree with them on most political issues, particularly anything having to do with compassion and helping the poor, immigrants, and of course the death penalty, long a point of conflict. These failed Catholics think they know better than

Note that Donald Trump appears in the “Baller Party” of that first video.

“Jazz represents freedom.” Love this. Sometimes I wonder if the reason Jazz is not more popular as a genre is that it delivers such intense freedom, creativity, and complexity to both player and listener, and we may struggle to have ears for that while living regimented lives. Jazz allows us to create something new in

I figured he was doing it for attention but it’s going to hurt his career. Too many other interesting, talented people to continue caring what Kanye is putting out, and this type of thing seals it.

Not to derail from the sport here, but this is why all children need to be taught Black history, not as a sidebar to the usual menu of American history, but as the clear centerpiece of that history.

Is this an intentional statement about both of them exposing some side-boob? If so, it’s hilarious but I don’t know what it means. If not, it’s hilarious but I don’t know what it means.

No, you made up that “sentiment” and attributed it falsely to me. I am pointing out that the median income of Trump voters is higher than the median income of Clinton voters, and also that in swing counties on a map you posted, the Trump voters are actually making higher than average incomes, and in general Trump’s
