And he’s the humblest president ever!

Same. I kept Scrabble out on the mini conference table in my office for those long calls.

I’m glad you are here.

All I have to add.

I tutored statistics in college, and one young Asian-american woman who majored in the arts was so grateful that I took her at face value. After she passed the class, she said to me, “You have no idea how shitty people are to me because I’m an Asian who’s bad at math.”

It’s a ‘tell’ for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He treats his family like possessions.

I thought that about Chuck Schumer yesterday, giving the unholy thumbs up, so proud of his dirty tactics that denied a two term president the honor of a SCOTUS appointment.

That figures. He didn’t look like the kind of person who got along with anyone. Typical blowhard.

Having problems on a laptop here.

IIRC the video for the song has all of the religious imagery. The commercial for Pepsi has none of the religious imagery, but it has the song and clips of Madonna dancing with the choir as seen in the video. IDK why Pepsi was surprised at the religious stuff in the song video, because I think both were filmed at the…

Yes, I think so too. I had a Brasilian friend at the time who went to a school named for St. Martin de Porres, and there was a legend about him passing through locked doors which would fit the video to some extent.

Plus Kendall gets to keep Pepsi’s money.

I remember the same of Madonna — people were saying how clever she was to make the video for the song so controversial. Pepsi paid her a fortune (at the time, I think 2 million dollars) and she didn’t have to see her new song turned into a commercial jingle.

I can’t believe we’re debating this, lol.

As a recovering roman catholic, I don’t recall a Jesus statue every being presented in that manner of clothing. But of course there are differences in all the flavors of Catholicism, including the Brasilian/Caribbean forms that Madonna was exploiting for the video.

The black Jesus was a statue (he was hanging on the cross). The live black guy was a saint she let out of a cage.

Also they were pissed off that she made out with him in the church sanctuary. I remember it like it was yesterday, embarrassingly enough.

Hey, I’m not supporting them or anything.

25 years from now, when she dies, people who are children now will say “Why didn’t they elect her? She’d have been great!”

I’m posting this picture of Dump *everywhere*. Can’t get enough.

George Carlin: “War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.”

prolly. I definitely remember it was the Catholic Anti-Defamation League that got the ad pulled.
