I love how everybody thinks you have to be short to acknowledge height discrimination. I guess I must also be a woman since I don't think sexism is funny. Sorry that I have such a 'short' fuse rofl

The fact you are comparing discrimination based on height to the centuries of oppression and sexism women have had to deal with is what's funny.

Don't be ridiculous. Discrimination against short people is almost twice as funny as sexism.

Its hard to make predictions, but it will be interesting to see what response comes out of Defense and State over Trump's behavior towards Putin.

McCain might even increase his level to "very concerned".

How many Russian divisions would have to be stationed in Arizona before McCain was "deeply troubled"?

I would guess this news was released because of the...intimacy of Trump's meeting with Putin. I think there is a lot more news like this that could be released.

Leave my dadjoke alone.

Like PJ said, it's easy to unthinkingly be a dick to short people, but cmon. I'd like to say there is no-one out there with real harsh feelings based on height, but I use the internet. I know there is someone out there, somewhere who just really REALLY fuckin hates short people. And probably writes a blog about it.

OK I need this one broken down Barney-style. I just can't follow the cork-screw logic.

The meeting they went to wasn't their fault, it was set up by someone else? So, like, they were totally OK with it because this organization that they thought was totally innocent set it up and then they were betrayed by the Sinister Crooked Hillary twirling her mustache in the background during the election and really she was the one that was working to influence the election for Trump? Did I get that right? Cause is still makes zero goddamn sense but it's all I can parse from the sentences.

Its totally fine that they set up and had a meeting with representatives of the Russian government because they weren't honest about their intentions.

Also the Trump Team knows they've never dealt with any spies because no one has ever walked up to them and said "Hi, I'm a spy."
