A part of me says it's just wrong to bait the willfully stupid. And yet I do on occasion when I'm bored.... I so need to atone for that....

Not just in low level positions, but in real consequential positions. We must have differing points of view and experiences inform our decisions. This is key to solving some of our nation's most persistent issues.
Great catch, Catwoman.

"What she wrote is antithetical to our core values, both as individuals and as an agency," the agency said in a statement. "Consequently, we have notified her that we will not represent her. Effective immediately, Roseanne Barr is no longer a client."

But a black female responsible for having his Trumpster Roseanne's show cancelled?

I can only imagine what he'll say at his Nashville (klan) rally tonight.

Maybe even saying things like she was born in an African country so she doesn't understand the ways of America.
Alex Jones will have a heart attack. Rush Limbaugh will have to take another pill.
