    But here’s the thing: (a) I believe him when he says he never did blackface; but also (b) it’s not like not having done blackface should be the fucking gold standard for determining someone’s level of racism anyway; so (c) why are we policing the response to this particular question quite so hard anyway?

    Sorry (not sorry) but you’re being an asshole. An insincere asshole to boot. In the context of someone doing something in school, I too might have answered the question, “No, nobody did shit like that at my school.” That’s just an HONEST, sincere answer. Not perfect, fine, but as a society if we can’t say someone’s

    Analogy:

    YES! Any Democrat who stood and clapped for ANYTHING Trump said is just another politician playing a fucking game with your real lives.

    That’s because Americans can’t tell the difference between FREEDOM and FREEDUMB.

    Canadian with private health insurance here wondering what you’re talking about.

    Yeah, but can’t we all imagine turning getting beat up and threatened with our lives into some sort of political sabotage?

    Seriously - that journalist should’ve done a coffee spit take right into his stupid fucking face. Or just chucked a whole cup of it at him. Jesus.

    Sorry, but why the fuck would the victim be under investigation?

    Wtf? I thought this was a current article! lol

    He says $1 million exemption.

    Read the article? He goes on to allow a $1 million exemption - I think that’s more than fair.

    I didn’t mean to suggest Republicans aren’t more of A problem - but THE problem right now is wealth inequality and that’s a rich people problem - and they vote for/lobby both parties. Yeah maybe Repubs are a bit friendlier to them but the Dems are fucking friendly enough.

    Yeah I was thinking about that after the fact - mostly I was just looking for an excuse to brag about my Canadian ruggedness. :P

    Right - what people need to figure out is that REPUBLICANS aren’t the problem and DEMOCRATS aren’t the problem, fucking RICH PEOPLE are the problem.

    Canadian here - sorry, gotta call you wimps on this one. My four-year-old son’s daycare still sends them outside to play until temps go below -20C (-4F). Cancel school for COLD? lol

    Great piece - nailed it.

    I know - didn’t mean to imply he’d even make it to the election stage.

    Guys. Relax. He’s doing this to sell books (not for $ but so he knows he’s a smart and good boy). It’s free pub. He’s doing the same thing Trump did, but he’s smart enough not to fuck it up and actually become president.
