    What’s so “ugly” about that? I don’t currently have an unlimited mobile data plan. It seems like it’d actually be sort of nice if for a small upcharge, I could get extra or unlimited data for certain apps I use more frequently. It’s not as though you’re prevented from accessing other services outside your plan—it just counts against your normal data limit. The tweet cited in the article is extraordinarily misleading in suggesting otherwise. (And since @cranberry has already explained to me how stupid I am, I’m sure the rest of you geniuses already managed to figure that out.)

    Why can't there be net neutrality and an unlimited mobile data plan?

    After Monday, does anyone want to seriously defend as Trump NOT being a racist?

    I’d love to hear that defense.

    We already heard it. They put the focus on Warren lying about her heritage.

    If Trump had said the same thing at, oh, a Republican fundraiser, it might be dismissed as just his usual political bluster. It's saying it in front of native American war heroes that makes it so spectacularly racist.

    It’s not more racist now. It just shows how clueless he is.

    Clueless gets at the problem, but I think "no impulse control and declining faculties" is more accurate.

    Why are you operating under the assumption that the latter is impossible without the former?

    The faux intellectuals -- or he -- don't have to defend it. They -- or he -- only need to misdirect over the subject of the n-word.

    It was more inappropriate, but I’m unsure how it’s more racist. Can you explain?

    I’m also not sure it’s a lack of impulse control. As inappropriate as it is, every time he raises it, Warren gets asked about it. He wants to pick off his potential rivals one by one, just as he did during the Republican primary.

    Man, you keep coming back to it, but I do not get this line of attack at all.

    So, now that we have an independent write-in candidate in the Alabama senate race, if democrats really want to prevent a child molester from winning, shouldn’t they join like minded Republicans and vote for Lee Busby?

    Have any Democrats urged this?
