So when Mueller flips enough people and its beyond dispute Trump is an actual traitorous felon, and Congress responds by holding hearings about Hillary, nothing bad actually happens to Trump, right?

you would assume so, especially if Mueller is gathering string on Pence too

or maybe the Republicans want President Paul Ryan? who knows

The Trump tweet saying yup I'm a racist and that's what will MAGA is beyond the pale even for him.

Is it still up? I️ assumed it would be deleted and reposted within an hour or two.

Beyond absurd. For any normal human being that would be a career ender, and rightfully so.

Absolutely nothing is beyond the pale for him. Literally nothing.

What's the blue stuff she is drinking in this video?

Still up yes.

My guess is Windex or Romulan Ale.

What was the actual tweet?

I would love to see a reporter ask Gregg Popovich if he thinks that Trump doesn't tweet about him because he is white.

Watch the Axelrod interview with Steve Kerr on CNN. LOLOLOLOL at Steve Kerr haters. Give me a POP/Kerr ticket now. Confirmed mancrush.

We live in a world where ‘Vote for a child molester because the alternative is a LIBERAL’ has become an acceptable argument

Disgusting, reckless, vile trash. I can only hope that the response is long lasting and full of shaming and shunning that from society.

What's worse is he was ALREADY unelectable by a rational electorate.

They aren't being irrational, though. They just have very different preferences. When all you care about is white supremacy, defiance of rule of law in service of white supremacy isn't some sort of failing, it's desirable. Did George Wallace become unelectable by defying integration orders? That's exactly what his constituents wanted!

I think he meant rational as in reasonable, non-deplorable human beings.

There was, already, a slight chance he wasn't going to win. Not certain why I'm defending them.

Incredible.

TNC made this point in one of the essays in his new book, introducing "The Case for Reparations" - that while we've accused rural whites of "voting against their interests" for a long time, we haven't considered that maybe they were getting exactly what they were interested in:

re: the bolded - "a prejudice that paid no dividends" - he made the point elsewhere in the book (can't find the passage atm) that rather than voting against their economic interests for the good feels of ****ing over minorities, white votes for racism actually paid off quite handsomely in reducing their competition for jobs and increasing their slice of the societal pie. Whatever poor whites lost in the war between poor and rich by voting for racism, they more than gained in the war between black and white.

I think that's a step too far. as imperfect as things are for black people, this is also the best time in American history to be a black person. we're a year removed from an 8 year presidency by a POC, that's a worst case scenario for that master plan

I don't think that's incompatible with the idea that whites received plenty of dividends from their votes for racism over the years that we tend to dismiss as having been "against their self-interest".

As long as I'm posting TNC quotes - the quote in the previous post was from an essay that directly followed Fear of a Black President which had some interesting things to say about the limitations of being America's first black president and the devil's bargain Obama had to make to achieve it (from earlier in this article, "acceptance depends not just on being twice as good but on being half as black"):

Kinda hard to distill it down to a single quote, the whole article is really good.

onion or real?
