He probably picked it because it’s supposed to be his message to those “other” people, the ones who don’t support him.

Yeah, I never commented much on The Slot so I never made it out of the greys here. There also seem to be way fewer posts published here than on Gawker, so there seem to be fewer opportunities to become emblackened. I’ve noticed a lot of Gawker refugees in the greys here and over at The Concourse.

This is where we get to brag about what we’ve read, right?

Same. But “Trump’s Razor” probably applies here: He just likes the song and hasn’t given a thought to the message he’s sending with it.

This whole situation is very weird. People are suggesting Nieto is going to try to use this meeting to salvage his own polls numbers by being tough to a man most Mexicans loathe.

I’m pretty sure Ivanka is Donald’s favorite child solely because she’s the prettiest. This is not just because he wants to bang her, but because a narcissist views his children as a reflection of himself. Ivanka is the most popular and attractive child, so she’s the favorite.

Quick—Wall-builders to the southern border!

It almost doesn’t matter anymore. People film these clips on their phones and most people watch them on their phones.

I do admire their tenacity. And I think their desire to continue working in the public interest despite decades of attacks is what makes them so maddening to the right. They’re like Bugs Bunny vs. Daffy Duck and it’s always duck season.

Gawker is inside all of us now.

Huma finally dumped the dead weight. Good for her! It’s too bad it had to happen in such a public way. They have a young child together. This must be very painful for her.

BernieBros like HamNo secretly want Trump to be elected. When Trump destroys this country, they can turn around and be all, “toldja so!” because the rest of us wouldn’t fall in line behind our well-informed white betters and vote for Bernie in the primary.

I am not surprised that HamNo is here with an uninformed and uncritical hot take on the latest baseless scandal regarding the Clintons. But it’s more egregious than usual since most of the left punditry has concluded that the AP’s story was utterly bogus.

Don’t forget AIDS patients. They can go to hell. “Optics” matter more.

Then Clinton enemies would just find another thing to harass them over forever. Whitewater, Vince Foster, travel office, interns, emails, Benghazi!, Clinton Foundation...the list is endless.

The bad “optics” of this story is entirely of the media’s making.

That’s a misleading statistic, but you probably already knew that.

I don’t know. I bet it would barely screen the smoke from a cigarette, let alone Killary’s Korruption.

*thrust (goddamn autocorrect)

Everything you wrote is totally true, but Clinton was never going to give a speech lambasting the GOP as a party of white racial resentment. She’s a politician, not a political historian or analyst.
