Its only 10am and we have a COTD winner here folks. Get back to work. Internet is done for the day.

Added fuck-you bonus: Strange Fruit was written by the guy who (along with his wife) who adopted Ethel and Julius Rosenberg’s kids when the Rosenbergs were executed because he was sympathetic to the Rosenbergs. Extra added bonus: If I recall the timing correctly, the composer was a member of the Communist Party at the…

I’m sure the first few thousand choices were all born and bread

I’m sure the first few thousand choices were all born and bread, but we are getting pretty far down the list at this point.

As an avid student of Judge Kara Brown, I think this is a burn, not shade. A really really good burn, but just not shade.

I have no idea who she was yesterday, but when I read her comments, I smiled maniacally and suppressed a cackle.

Trump won’t understand this until someone explains it to him. KFC doesn’t serve fruit, so ALL fruit is strange to him.

I am adoring all the people who using this invitation to back hand, head slam Trump. The more people say “Nah” to him the better.

It’s really great - and kudos to her.

Donald’s thinking it over but he’s just not sure yet...

Does anyone else find it strange that the anti-immigration candidate is trying to get so many non-Americans to perform at the inauguration of the American president? I’m not a proud flag waver, but it seems to me like the performers should be American...

Also see numerous British celebrities using “boy” in the US over the years, with zero comprehensive of the ensuing horror.

Or she knew exactly what she was saying and counted on being given the benefit of the doubt.

My feeling is, if you are sufficiently ignorant of history and context to the point where you say things that are indistinguishable from things an actual bigot might say, your lack of awareness isn’t really a defense against the accusation.

I guess if you ignore the context of having him fire two black employees with similarly clumsy racist remarks...

Maybe that was her intention, but calling it black people food put the racist cherry on the top of that shit sundae.

The rest of this deplorable language, I understand. I hate it, and her, but I understand what it means.

Seems like an open and shut case to me. It’s not fair to only serve tourists to black people.

I’m sorry to say this, and sound stupid. However, why on earth do these people “decide to resign”? What ever happened to “Chuck? Hi, come here. You’re fired. Go fuck a seahorse”. Yes, I get it - he’s a chair or whatever political position this is and he can’t technically be outright fired. But what if he refuses to…
