I thought Trump was hilarious there, especially if you know anything about Elizabeth Warren.

Honestly, her claiming to be Indian to get Harvard off the hook for lack of diversity is ****ing offensive as hell. Seriously, **** her

And those Navajo Code Talkers might as well be Jews for Hitler. What a bunch of dip**** suckers.

I think it's more on the college for clinging to every faint possibility of Native American heritage to cover for a lack of diversity.

She did get some publicity through the cookbook that Trevor "Painfully Unfunny" Noah brought up.

This is all gossipy BS anyway. Also, didn't this happen like six months ago?

I'm not saying I agree with the individual mandate, it's weasel worded as a "tax" to scrape by even being constitutional, but it's there because it's the only way Obamacare would work so that premiums wouldn't rise uncontrollably with, for example, people with pre-existing conditions, being added to the market

what's worse, a healthy person having to pick up subsidized insurance, or an unhealthy person being denied coverage (these were the real death panels)

Don’t give a f uck

Lost my job
Lost my insurance
Got a bill

I ain’t a potential timeshare sucker

You can’t word that up to justify it

The mandate was actually a republican idea. They loved it when implemented by Mitt Romney and would probably have supported it if he beat Obama. Which he didn't. Ha ha, Romney. **** you. But un**** you because you're better than Trump. I miss you Romney.

Remember when Romney said they tied their dog (in its crate) to the top of their car?

What an *******. Plus, his business practices were crooked as all ****. He probably ****ed over more people than Trump vulturing up those businesses. On top of that Mormons are retarded. I’m glad Mormons are treated like stupid freaks down here. You’re better off being an atheist in the south.

When you have a very floofy dog, you'll try anything to dry it after a bath.

CNN Headline

US lost track of 1,500 immigrant children, but says it's not 'legally responsible'

The federal government has placed thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children in the homes of sponsors, but last year it couldn't account for nearly 1,500 of them.

****ing Christ

That’s some unbelievable sorry ass ****

Yeah but also used by Germans of course, so it's the same I guess as saying "si" is Mexican not Spanish. Shrug.

Prick. Guess he just wanted his pet to be top dog, huh?
