But they are not talking about discrimination. They're discussing racism. Plus all of the talking heads were a bit overly emotional that evening right after Trump made the comments.

I watched it in real time. Like I said earlier, all of the talking heads went off script that night. I'm trying to imagine Cronkite and Brinkley saying sh1thole over and over again.

I just wish George Carlin was still alive.

1. So he went on this exact same tirade twice?

2. And again that Irish and Italian identity stuff is stupid.

Yeah, I guess it was stupid of me not to realize that rant was canned. I guess they never just answer the question.

Also I'm not sure if I believe this latest Trump comment. It's too ridiculous even for him :D
'****hole countries' is something I'd expect to hear in the pub from a bald guy named Dave who is 45.

Anyway, I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned.

Now I have no problem with Chelsea Manning running for the Senate, but what's the point running against Ben Cardin (in the primary obviously) who's actually a pretty damn good Senator? I hope she doesn't try to run third party; she'd only shoot herself in the foot.
