Ah yes, that's the point that professor was trying to make, that teaching math is racist, not that today's common math curricula overlook the contributions of non-white/European mathematicians, you nailed it Tinsley

To be fair, Tinsley wanted to call the guy up to ask him what he meant, but the phone number V-V-V-I-II-III-IV was too confusing for him.

How much do you wanna bet Trump hasn't paid taxes in decades thanks to a combination of offshore banks, creative accounting, and loopholes designed for billionaires

This is such a contrived metaphor. Like the only way he could think of to communicate that this is a cartoon about taxes was to write it on the guy, which is so clumsy and direct that it makes the entire dog lecture conceit completely pointless and

why am I even bothering, Mike Lester beats his wife, and so on

Trump outright said he doesn't pay income taxes in the presidential debates and that makes him smart.

But of course he�s also refused to let anyone verify that one way or the other even though he bragged about it because he couldn�t hold a coherent position on anything if he had a gun to his head. Probably literally.

I was listening to the dollop 2 parter about Trump's early life and they concluded by saying that he got at least 885 million dollars of tax breaks from just NY.

But really, I love how the message is "if you don't own a dog you can't possibly know how to treat them/train them." I wonder if this applies to legislating women's bodies?

I mean, that's kind of a moot argument since Lester definitely thinks he owns women's bodies.

Democrats are stopping the Republicans' dumb tax bill by... doing... some... thing...

The Hill posted:

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) on Monday became the second GOP senator to oppose the upper chamber's tax bill in its current form, raising concerns it does more to help corporations than other types of businesses.

"Sen. Daines has concerns with how the tax bill looks at main street versus large corporations," an aide to the Montana Republican said. "The Senator wants changes to the tax cut bill that ensure main street businesses are not put at a competitive disadvantage against large corporations."

OK so in this metaphor dog ownership represents paying taxes, right?

soooo the dog owners hate owning dogs, wish they didn't have to own dogs, and want to kill their dogs or at least make people who can't afford to own dogs pay for their dog-related expenses

and you don't have to be a dog owner to know that's bullshit. AGC.

Soy contains chemicals that (can, maybe) mimic estrogen in humans so to alt-right shitheads eating anything with soy is feminizing and a weapon that the Jews use to weaken the west. This is also the same set that refuses to wipe their own rear end because they think touching your butthole is dangerously homoerotic.

I don't understand why someone wouldn't wipe their rear end, because clean buttholes feel good.

Well they wouldn't need every Republican to vote for it to pass it if some Democrats were willing to reach across the aisle in the name of bipartisanship and vote for the tax "reform" bill that they had no input on and the majority of Americans think is awful.

It's been posted more than once in various threads throughout CSPAM (mostly but not limited to the alt-right thread and the various Trump threads).

They worry more about catching the gay than they do personal hygiene. Or much anything else, for that matter.
