Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I mean, if they say that behind closed doors, at least they evolved to calling them "the blacks" instead of other more colourful terms.
On the one hand, anyone in the GOP talking about racial discrimination is a step in the right direction.
On the other hand, he just compared his completely warranted and legitimate indictments to the oppression of Black Americans…
The commonality is that both groups feel oppressed. One because it is and has been through structural inequities. The second because of entitlement and privilege (my freedom should be absolute).
That mugshot is hilarious. You just know he was practicing in a mirror looking for something to make him look cool and defiant, and he settles on "toddler intentionally shitting their pants because you told them it's time to get ready for bed" as his preferred expression?

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same,” the 70-year-old presumptive Republican nominee once told a biographer. “The temperament is not that different.”
He is a spoiled toddler not getting his way anymore.
And he clearly looks like he's been crying in that mugshot.
Ladies and gentlemen. The former president of the United States of America.
And contendor for most flagrantly racist man of the decade.
Actually, he's a contender to the presidency. Wake the fuck up america
He was crying like a 5 year old just before that mugshot
I challenge “tough guy” Trump to one simple task— take your shirt off and show your followers what peak masculinity looks like
I’ll get the cranberries and gravy ready to eat with those Turkey tits
Some day, if I'm lucky, I'll feel like this again and it'll be the dementia setting in.
