I'm guessing it works 99.9% of the time.

Well, if that's your official guess.

Do you drive a car? Eat meat? Go hiking? Much less scuba diving? Life has risks. Still no excuse to be an asshole.

And I take precautions, and mitigate risks, in all of those things.

Maybe my false accusation jaded me.

I think you win by being a decent human being, but apparently that's too hard.

Yeah, you lost me there. That's way too harsh. And like Gordon says, you're completely ignoring any possibility of a misunderstanding and/or accusation.

She made the request, he wasn't hiring or making the request. He denied it, but said she could absolutely come along if she brings a male co-worker.

But he's the subhuman and the scumbag because he didn't immediately give her everything she wanted on her conditions? Can't agree with that.

Video Shows CNN’s Karem Taunting Summit Guests With ‘Demonic Possession’ Jab, Daring Gorka to Take Dispute ‘Outside’.

Yeah, no idea why a Republican would give pause to trusting a journalist.

Edit: A thought occurred to me. If the situation were reversed, would everyone be trashing the female candidate for not wanting to be alone with a man in her vehicle for 16 hours? Does this reporter request a female massage therapist when she goes to a spa?

I would.

I certainly do.

Fair enough. I had forgotten about that.

Is that sexist? And why would you? Women usually have skinnier fingers and can't really work the muscles hard without it feeling like you're getting stabbed.

Having a man touch me isn't relaxing. I've had women who can work muscles with no issues. And their hands are softer, which feels nice.

So you're looking for more of a relaxing massage.

And you don't trust yourself with a man touching you

I do find it interesting that you concede that their are times that you would be uncomfortable with someone doing their job based on their sex, but won't consider granting that to someone else.

I've never asked for the sex of my masseuse. So find it as interesting as you want, I've never complained, asked, or switched.

Although, again, we're discussing a job where they are literally touching me, instead of just being around me, infecting me with their womannness.

Oh. Your earlier comment indicated you requested female massage therapists.

I did, didn’t I? Guess I hadn’t really thought about it in that response. It’s my preference, but I’ve never done it.

I have secretly been really enjoying CNN's art department for the past few months. They purposely find the absolute worst screen grabs of Trump, and it's so petty that it's awesome.
