I told one of my friends, if Barack Obama said literally ANY OF THE THINGS Donald Trump or his office-holding supporters have said, the Republicans would have called for impeachment.

“Yeah,” responded Marsh, confident, somehow, that I had just agreed with him.

This is good reporting

The irony is that the GOP cut funding for embassy protection in the many austerity driven budgets prior to this happening.

This is just standard gun locker talk. Everyone does it.

She literally walked into Benghazi in her camo “action” pantsuit and killed those people herself.

So he doesn’t want her to die. He just wants her to be punished for treason by being shot until she is no longer living. But. He doesn’t want her to die. Those are different things, you see.

What about Sarah Palin with her map of politicians that NRA supporters should target, including Gabby Giffords? This isn’t exactly new for the republicans.

Please remind me when it became acceptable to “sarcastically” joke about assassinating someone currently under Secret Service protection?

I was using the firing squad words

Yes, her acts seem well-intentioned but they are still racist. Clearly she has no friends/colleagues of color (or race-aware white folks) who could have told her what a stupid, racist, and career-shattering idea this was. Or maybe she was not so well-intentioned to listen. Prime example of why diversity matters.

The shit of that was, Whoopi wrote the jokes and they made the decision together for him to do blackface. From what I remember, in those days Friar Club was nasty, filthy, worst jokes ever and NOT TELEVISED. I think neither of them expected word of her induction(because that’s what it was) to get out.

... I really hope this doesn’t turn into a ‘Post Your Favorite Shocking Blackface pics!’ free-for-all because really, this story is dispiriting and dehumanizing enough without having this shit pop up, too.

I remember that. To the credit of, well, pretty much most people (as far as I can recall, anyway), I believe that was the exact moment when everyone began to inch slowly away from Ted Danson and his career started to tank.

As an Old, I can entertain you with stories. Here’s a shitty one from the eearly 90's before Friar’s Roasts became a public thing. Ted Danson still “cheers” famous was going out with Whoopi Goldberg. He did a bit at the Friar’s lunch about them smoking pot and him telling her; “Hey Whoop; don’t Ni$$&r lip it!” Shit,…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey, you know how the only possible positive spin to idiot college kids in blackface is “they’re idiot kids whose ignorance and immaturity is going to embarrass the shit out of them later in life”? That doesn’t apply here. Law professors don’t get to plead idiocy. Just... why?

People like this have no friends to tell them this is a bad idea (probably due to scaring them off with fucking ideas like this)

You can so outrun a radio. You just need to be far enough ahead to be able to ditch and dash. Make sure you head for a crowded area to lose yourself or the helicopter’s thermal camera will find the tree or dumpster you are hiding in.
