Dude, we've already rejected the Enlightenment. Get with the times.

Me too. I was going to say, "The Cheifs haven't even been eliminated yet, what's wrong? Who hurt you?"

this is a very misleading tweet. he doesnt say that. what he says if what if you were a white woman and treated the same exact way. he is implying maybe not everything is racists and maybe people just treat women shitty. it is a valid argument

It's a valid question, but he answer is that there is no chance in hell that a white woman takes as much abuse as a black woman.

im not sure there is any one way to prove or disprove that

The funniest part of this is that it sounds like all these people thought they were giving unattributed quotes....unnamed source stuff....because the interviewer conflated 'off the record' with background interviews.

Like, wtf is this article.

It's like getting punched in the face with red flags.

Trump spent much of the day raging about the book to top aides, officials and advisers said, and Sanders described the president as “furious” and “disgusted.” As he fumed, some aides were still frantically searching for a copy of the book, and even senior aides such as Hicks had not seen it by the afternoon, officials said.

“He’s out of control,” one person with knowledge of Trump’s comments said. This person added that the president had been in an upbeat mood for much of Tuesday, continuing to brag about last month’s passage of the Republican tax bill even as he fired off combative tweets.

Trump also blasted others in the White House for talking to Wolff, who was frequently spotted wandering the West Wing with no escort or ensconced in Bannon’s office, especially during the early months of the administration.

Wolff said Trump was aware of the project and allowed others to participate. An excerpt of the book, published online in New York magazine, said the author conducted more than 200 interviews “over a period of 18 months with the president, most members of his senior staff, and many people to whom they in turn spoke.”

Sanders said that Wolff “never actually sat down with the president” since Trump took office and that the two men had only had one five- to seven-minute conversation “that had nothing to do, originally, with the book.”

One senior White House official said Trump advisers considered Wolff friendly and believed it would be beneficial to speak with him; this person also said that Wolff interviewed Trump. A second senior White House official said the president had viewed Bannon as a useful ally when he was frustrated with congressional leadership and that, while he didn’t consider Bannon a close confidant, he also didn’t want him as an enemy.
