    By corporate standards, it was an amusing reply.

    I bet there is a statistically relevant correlation between Trumpism and racism. That study would be interesting but it would be hard to construct without internal bias.

    When has the absence of bias been a consideration for liberal generalizations?

    Did you get a good look at the crowd at his last campaign speech? Some stuff is too obvious to talk about. But hey, if Rosanne grabs her crotch while she is actually supposed to be singing the Anthem, and Koepernick kneels during the Anthem, guess which one is cool with the Trumpsters. I can offer a theory why.

    Irrelevant. Are you making a snap judgment based on your interpretation of people's personal appearance?

    I know you don't understand this (since you asked) but I was talking about an unbiased study based on some obvious phenomenon. Sooo...that makes this a dumb question.

    I didn't expect you to understand my question and you didn't.

    I don't believe you. I suspect you have hated her ever since you found out she supports Trump.

    Do you deny it?

    But Muslim Brotherhood + Planet of the Apes isn’t necessarily racist, either lol.

    How many Roseanne threads does this make now?

    Please. Are you suggesting she didn't know it would be perceived that way, lol?

    Interesting assertion.

    Got any evidence to support it?

    I'll understand if you don't.

    BTW, is "her kind" a reference to people of Jewish heritage, by any chance?

    Or perhaps you meant "people who support gay rights" when you referred to 'her kind".
