But - no! Not that kind of attention and confrontation - only the kind of attention and confrontations he wants, on his terms!

Yeah, that. Or I suppose it could be summed up with, “trying to find a more socially-acceptable replacement for the n-word that has as much of the same impact as possible.”

Maybe they think ”stupid” is a protected class?

Spencer said he was at the gym “peacefully working out” when Fair came up to him and asked him if he was Richard Spencer. “I said no, because I wanted her to go away,” he said. “I didn’t want to get into a confrontation.”

“who TF says ‘coloreds’”

They’re not necessarily any better, I’m sorry to say. I’ve certainly heard from women in Hollywood who admitted to not just hiring men but actively avoiding hiring women. Of course, the admissions came when they finally realized the biases with which they had been brainwashed and (to some degree) overcame them. Which…

“a famous director had recommended an unknown director for something big by saying, “’He reminds me of myself.’”

“is it just me or does anyone else get this urge to start crying when they hear heaven is a place on earth?”

The central valley is kind of known for an abusive, racist, reactionary police force, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

I believe there are some investigations - and at least one lawsuit - he’s going to get caught up in.

That’s... horrific.

It’s like he’s fractally awful - the more closely you examine him, the more horror is unearthed.

When I recently read about that incident, on first seeing a reference to it, I assumed it was a sick bit of satire. By the time he takes his new position, he’ll be under investigation for the various things he’s already done.

When it comes from someone in law enforcement - who runs a department, no less - it has a whole new level of outrageousness, though.

It is. This man shouldn’t be in law enforcement, much less running a department, much less in the DHS.

Yeesh. That second one I didn’t know about. I just had read about the first incident and didn’t immediately believe it, it was so outrageous. But it’s just par for the course for him, apparently.

Yeah, really.

Then there’s the time one of Clarke’s deputies blew through a stop sign, smashed into another car and caused the driver of that car to have her neck broken in four places. The deputy and other officers then tried to frame her for drunken driving and pin the crash on her. For a year they even tried to get her to pay…

The really hilarious bit is how angry Trump is at his staff for not presenting a consistent message. He’s been really pissed at them for a while, blaming them for issues which stem, 100%, from his own incompetence. Meanwhile he can’t be bothered to even read the one-page briefings of bulletpoints and graphics. His…

Trump and his team have used private email for official business, grossly mishandled classified - and incredibly sensitive - information multiple times since the election. (That’s not even counting the similar issues that Trump appointees engaged in before he appointed them.) Trump never actually believed any of the…
