Yes, fuck poor people who work too much or maybe don’t have access to a public library because wait what the fuck are you saying

It’s extremely relevant. I can’t recommend a book on it but read the wiki on the Southern Strategy if you want a quick primer on how Republicans, beginning with Lee Atwater and Richard Nixon, used racism to drive that wedge and capture working class whites... which has finally led to the nativism you’re hearing on the…

Insurance companies make more money

It SHOULD be odd though I doubt Jeb cares to tackle the issue...

I wouldn’t bring them up myself but as you can see I am not willing to stand idly by while the world’s best fruit is disparaged. It’s wrong I tell you.

The best part is actually that this guy ran Tom Rapers rent-to-own which is the most apt name of all-time for a rent-to-own business.

Indiana native here... Listen, we’re in the corn belt and our soil is some of the nation’s best. I garden for fun in the summers and the tomatoes I grew in Indiana were significantly tastier than what I’ve produced since moving to Seattle... maybe he actually likes tomatoes? I eat one a day or more during the summer...

We’re deep in this comment thread so no one is reading by now anyway. I think they just aren’t DQing candidates that have taken nudes in the past. If they wanted nudes, which I doubt, they’d just ask.

Unless I’m mistaken Pornhub produces no original content so what would they be auditioning for? I just don’t see a way that pictures would make sense to them financially. They’re non revenue producing and they would substantially muffle the PR value of their campaign. Where is the upside for them?

Why would they pay for pics though? Pornhub wouldn’t make any money off of static pictures, especially low quality images from amateur photographers. They’re a website that aggregates video. I’m not aware of any website that has successfully monetized still images. That is extremely niche if it’s out there. They don’t…

It just means that having appeared nude in the past is not a disqualifier like it can be for some other contests(Miss USA). I think your reading is farfetched. This is for PR. Would the public look much more favorably on nudes than videos in this case? No. Would static nude images be valuable content for Pornhub? No.…

Miley really went there with mammy? JFC she is clueless.

It was weak of them to cut Nicki off, probably for cursing, only to immediately give Cyrus a pass seconds later.

Bizarrely? It’s a Taylor Swift video.

Indiana will win six or more games this year.

Agreed. I’m definitely not calling athletes saintly but I think the way in which they’re routinely depicted in the media is racially tinged at best. Their supposed out-of-control criminality justifies a loooot of dog whistle commentary. We still have a ways to go concerning domestic violence but discussing it as if…

Maybe. But that same thing keeps people from charging wealthy, powerful men all the time. Is the feeling of futility someone might feel approaching the police concerning Derrick Rose any different than someone might feel approaching the law about one of the Kennedy’s or Bush’s or a wealthy businessman’s son?

The NBA one is less specific than I remember...

I remember a Deadspin article that put NFL players below the national average for domestic violence. Same with NBA players. But they are certainly muuuuuch more famous than everyone else committing crimes and they shape a narrative people are comfortable with so...

I thought nothing of it at the time but Rose got blown up on Twitter by a prostitute who claimed that he never paid her. This is a fair bit grosser than even that but he was always rumored to treat women pretty poorly as I recall.
