I’m betting on Xi Jinping, which will also annoy Trump, but CK would be truly beautiful.

I bet that’s why he wrote this tweet. Someone told him there is a good chance Kaepernick will get the cover so he want’s to make his supporters think it’s only because he turned it down.

Holy shit, Trump’s face if Kaepernick got the cover...

it’s a delusion.

They don’t need to forget. These people would rather have a compulsive liar in his case, or a pedophile creep, in Moore’s, than a liberal in power. Trump is out of his mind, but these people detest us and those we try to aid, and he’s expressed that in an open and clear way that they trust. Do not underestimate the…

The fact the it’s mostly Muslims who are being targeted and killed by ISIS seems to go over the heads of most folks in that particular group.

Oh, if only Time named Kaepernick for the cover after this. Or Carmen Yulin Cruz.

None of his actions have ever had serious long-term consequences in his entire life. (Bankruptcy to him is just a business choice not a bad consequence.) So, why should he even think to care about telling the truth?

Because the people that support him do not believe:

I meandered over the the Time ‘Person of the Year’ Page and realized you can vote on the current contestants and whether you would consider them highly influential. I was pretty pumped to see Colin Kaepernick and Serena Williams on the list.

He might be the only person left in America who cares about Time’s “man (person) of the year.”

I can never understand why he lies about things that are so blatantly false that they are debunked within about five minutes, or lies about things that he is literally on camera saying. Does he think that he has a magic weapon that erases people’s memories? And people still support him, it’s madness.

I haven’t see Lady Bird yet, but my high school experience (Silicon Valley, 1980's) was similar. There was a large lifestyle difference between lower and upper middle class even back then, and it may be wider now.

In my case, that was my city’s demographics. The rich people lived on the outskirts, in the hills, with land and much newer homes. The poor and lower-middle class lived in the many apartment buildings in the flats or the much older single family homes in bad neighborhoods. There are three public high schools in town…

Oh yes. I grew up in a large city in San Diego County and our high school’s district map covered the incredibly rich rural areas as well as the flats where the poor and lower-middle class people lived. Some people would roll into school in a BMW their parents bought for them on their 16th birthday, while many of us…

I grew up “poor” in an upper middle class neighborhood and was constantly surrounded by their wealth. The hardest part was kids don’t have a good concept of compassion for those without, so you’d have to deal with people making fun of you for not having nice clothes or a nice car. Ironically I later found out my…

My daughter volunteers at our local food bank with some other students, and every week there is a delicate dance where you keep an eye on the cameras where you watch people come in, and if you know a client you step out to let them save face. There are million dollar homes in our neighborhood and $800/month rentals.

Since most families prioritize things like living in a good school district, yeah, it happens a lot. I grew up not at all wealthy but definitely better off than many, and I had friends who would get teased by fancier kids whose families had money for not just the education (public school, but you had to rent or buy in…

It may be different now but I grew up in a working class/lower middle class neighborhood attached to a town that took a huge upswing to affluent as time went on. A bunch of super rich kids from California moved in and all the new homes were custom builds. There was only one high school in town so I was going to school…
