Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

Beaten but yeah, that's a dumb question on many levels but the fact that those two diseases aren't even comparable makes it an easy answer.

So, in that regard, it's a perfect metaphor for this election (if you literally believe every bad thing that's been said about Hillary).

I seem to remember a few months ago the Republicans were out of their minds with worry that their wives or children could get groped by a transgendered person in the woman's room, but now they are fine with it if it happens by their nominee for President of the United States.

Americans hate racism, but only really obvious examples of it. If there's any room for doubt about whether something is racist, most white Americans will hem and haw and give the offender the benefit of the doubt. They support all kinds of incredibly racist policies, but don't consider themselves racist and, in fact, believe racism is evil and wrong because their image of "racist" is the KKK, and they obviously oppose the KKK, so they can't be racist. If there's a tape out there of Trump saying the n-word or in some other way directly stating that black people are inferior, then that's going to destroy all of Trump's support outside of his hardcore base.

I hope you're right. We are talking about a man who declares all Mexican immigrants rapists and seriously insists that we must prevent any Muslim immigrantion without too big of a fuss. That's not even getting into leading the Birther movement and bragging about it.

I mean, we'll need to have a video of him burning a cross and slowly outlining how he hates all black people in general and Obama specifically because he is black to crack the denial of white America.

It's highly unlikely that the rich dude not-so-subtly asking for millions to release the tape would get "sued into oblivion" by orange Hitler. Obviously part of the money he's asking for is to take care of legal issues. It's a very smart move for him.

Because the half of conservatives who understand how truly how vile this and that it's about tacit endorsement/admission of sexual assault are being droned out by the other half that either willingly or obliviously don't get what the actual problems with the comments are.

Said rich dude does not have the tapes, as he has said on his twitter. However, he has also stated that their contract has a $5m leak penalty AND it's come out that Burnett would also sue anyone who leaked footage. So you're wrong on just about all points right now.

This is where something like Gawker would come in handy, but it was destroyed for leaking a video of an orange balding celebrity saying the N word.

(I don't want to relitigate the gawker issue here, just an interesting parallel)

He would claim they were 1.66 and that's why he's not paying and no he doesn't care that you just measured it 5 times and it's 1.65 he's still not paying you.

Funny story: BBC News was talking to a black Dutch guy a couple years ago around Christmas time about the Zwarte Piet (Black Peter - Santa's Blackface friend) tradition. He was being incredibly reasonable and saying that he didn't think the Dutch needed to necessarily change their traditions, just be a little more conscientious about how their behavior affects others. While they're doing this some rando walking by calls this this guy Zwarte Piet to his face. The BBC reporter turns the camera on this guy and is all "Why did you just do that?!", and the guy was all "I dunno".

Actually Trump is the kind of guy who would get the 1.66 just like he asked and then tell the guy he's only getting 70% of the agreed-to amount in the contract and he's going to have to shut the gently caress up and like it.
