Maybe he was making a pun? I really don't know the mind of the genius

I immediately assumed it was an idiot being an idiot. He's rich because he had a little entertainment value, and was marketed to idiots by smart people.

D Latino councilwoman forced to resign the presidency of the council over racist remarks caught on tape.

Racist comments about a white gay guy and his black adopted son. She called the kid a little monkey.

I'm so confused. I thought only white people and Rs could be racist...

You forget, Latinos are often white.

I was reading the other day that a lot of people from south of the border were often mad about their 23 and Me results. They all expect to be descended from Mayans and Azteks, and most of them are just European Spanish.

Fair.

The article also used the correct format when a D does something wrong, which is to never mentioned their party affiliation or bury it.

Or, they just think the reader will assume D, since it's CA.

Also fair (I guess? Making an assumption about your audience's knowledge seems to be really poor journalism...), but CNN leads with the R in R scandals and doesn't mention the party in D scandals no matter where they occur.

White supremacy strikes again!

So... foreigners are better at America than Americans are?

Post by **GORDON** » Thu Oct 13, 2022 10:12 am

Always amuses me when a single person in one conversation will claim that the American dream is dead and there's no way to succeed in the economy, and in a different conversation claim that we should allow more immigrants in so they can live a better life.

Yeah, college has been priced out of the poor, and housing is way up in the cities, but ten million people in the flyover states are still buying houses and doing fine with their unfinished degrees ,in their non-glamourous jobs.

Point being, a lot of people who think they are smart and enlightened aren't as smart as they think they are.

Well, you'd have to believe they aren't American first Nazi.

The Hispanic ranking on that list was interesting. I can think of 15M reasons why it's probably lower than reality.

That list is a pretty big "fuck you" to the "It's racism, not a cultural thing" argument.

Well, we limit legal migrants to people who are useful/have certain skills/education.

Also, how much MORE would they be making if they were white, too?

That is fantastic because it's EXACTLY what the "White Supremacy is everywhere!!" people would say.

You cannot make this shit up:

Seriously, if you take the MSM (ANY outlet) at face value, you're a brainwashed idiot.

At best. At worst, you're part of the disinformation campaign.

The Steelers are now iconography of the far right extremists thanks to that one dude's hat. Good job, Leisher, you oppressor.
