Abso-fuckin-lutely

Don't forget, he explained why he said those things on the bus in the Entertainment Tonight "grab 'em by the p*ssy" recording, before saying that wasn't him, and that the MSM are lying. But, in his defense, this seeming contradiction is due to his being a leaping, screaming, flaming assh*le. (trying to clean up my langu*ge)

She can testify legally of her own free will, though.

He really truly seems to not get that recordings are a thing. That people can play them and see him saying things with his own mouth.

It's not a joke, Evan. It's a nightmarish tragedy.

Damn, Evan, I started reading this and I thought hey, I have to go on Twitter and reply to Donald Trump and tell him he's crazy as a shithouse rat but then you went and did that a few lines later so Iinstead I had to go on Twitter and tell him he's crazy as a crackhouse whore.

"Do you think there is such serious brain damage that he believes his own bullshit?"

I honestly believe that matters less than how many other people believe it and are potentially incited to riot by it.

I will admit to a fair degree of concern about how often it seems both MSM and ordinary conscious citizens appear to misdirect the full force of their focus, however unintentionally. I hosted a thread the other evening on the aftermath of Roseanne's comments and their racist nature and what Professors Eddie Glaude and Jason Johnson, both African-American, said needed to be the national response, and so many of the commenters were like "Roseanne Roseanne Roseanne what are the terrible Fox News viewers going to think and say obsess obsess obsess OMGGGGGGG" and I was like 'THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM CAN WE TAKE THE FOCUS *OFF* THE WHITE PERPETRATORS FOR MORE THAN HALF A NANOSECOND AND FOCUS ON WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO FOR THE *VICTIMS*, PLEEEEEEASE?" and everybody nodded at me and said "Yes yes yes of course you're right" and then went right back to chattering like magpies about the perpetrators of the racism, Roseanne and 45. I'm frustrated about how ... well-trained in implicit bias self-identified progressives seem to be. I don't care about the Trump supporters. They sure don't care about me, so I'm frustrated by how over-anxiously so-called progressives continue to obsess and obsess and obsess and OBSESS about them. I'd say it really feels like the liberal Weimar Republicans obsessing about the Nationalist Socialists, except none of them seem to know any history either and so they have no idea what I'm talking about.

As I just got done telling someone else -- I care much less about what *he* thinks than how much others who could be doing far more progressive things *obsess* about what he thinks. https://disqus.com/home/dis...

Next time you can do exactly what I did and go to YouTube and put in "ari melber joe arpaio" and pull up the relevant link, instead of both demanding and clearly expecting someone else to handle your intellectual labor for you. You're welcome. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

You should see him talk about fake preachers.

Thank you! I just assumed you had the link handy, since you mentioned it. Sorry that my request came across as a demand; it was certainly not intended as one. :-(

Which seems even weirder because of his pride in that tv show, which I imagine he watches obsessively.

So do I, but I'd like to do more if possible. Unfortunately, there's no "burn down their homes and salt their fields" option on blocking or reporting either.
