Maxine Waters should meet Trump in a cage match....and my money's on her
.

Well, she knocked out that Young Turks blogger with her Kame-Hame-Ha.

Average male telling outstanding women how to be proper feminists. Movie at 11.

Is that really the hill you want to die on?

The story is not that the Christian right's candidate had an affair with an actress. The story is that it's a porn actress. Her name would not have jumped to the top of Twitter trends globally if she'd been known for "As the World Turns."

Again, completely wrong.

The actual story is that it looks like someone might have paid that person off. Which is why they also mentioned the model(Playmate for the folks still intent on living in the last century) that was also paid before her story was buried.

[PaulBullion]

Incorrect.

Everyone and their brother was busy yelling a certain word like they just picked it up in the second grad.

Anyone of them could have yelled a different question.

If I missed some kind of press event or public appearance of the President since the story about Trump's "**** hole" comments broke, I apologize. Do you have a link?

Start by not throwing out "Prostitute" right before you say "Forget I Just Said "Prostitute".

Michael Tracey regularly blocks people on twitter who make fun of his 'Maxine Waters assaulted me' bit.

It's frigging hilarious.

Huh.

MLK presser. You actually didn't come across that?

It becomes of "story" because of the aspects that raise public interest. Stories that nobody listens to aren't stories, they're just words.

And while I agree that the angle that Trump could be blackmailed SHOULD be of bigger interest to the public at large, we are talking about America here.

[PaulBullion]

Huh.

I tried to pretend that didn't happen. Sue me.

So, who thought Chris Matthews' rape joke about Hillary Clinton was funny?

I rarely watch Chris Matthews.

Trump Thinks Only Black People Are on Welfare, but, Really, White Americans Receive Most Benefits

In the spring of 2017, the newly elected president met with members of the Congressional Black Caucus. During that meeting, one of the members mentioned to Trump that welfare reform would be detrimental to her constituents— adding, “Not all of whom are black,” according to NBC News.

The president was incredulous. “Really? Then what are they?”

Racist AND clueless. Hell of a combination for a sitting president. To any and all Trump suckups and apologists in this forum, please remind me again why you continue supporting this brainless moron?

One "The Details" thing that I have to get off of my chest...

If you are looking at it from a "This Place Is A Mess..." perspective, Finland is...

- A place that a guy turned into his own personal murder box while he killed somewhere in between one hundred and five hundred men in around a year.

- A place that gave birth to all of the insanity that surrounded a certain time in the Black Metal scene.


Obviously, Trump may not even know any of that even happened.

I can hear my Finnish friends sighing all the way from over here.
