    I'd still like to know what made Miller such an asshole - we all have ancestors who went through hell to come here. Save it for the Miller Thanksgiving table. Why is your Stephen such a dick?
    I heard the neuroscientist uncle today on Andrea Mitchell and that stone was again not turned.
    There is a causation for these things. Kids don't just grow up aggressively hating Mexicans unless they are taught to do so.
    Remember what Mr. Miyagi said - "Never bad student, only bad teacher."
    As a dad I use that as a guiding principle.

    I've always felt there are many in the Trump movement who are simply enjoying "getting back" at all the people whoever dissed them or didn't let them into their club or school.
    Trump will always be a bridge and tunnel guy, to the NY elite.

    I have plenty. You just are simply as bad about me as YankeeFan is about the Clintons. It's quite sad, really.

    The psychologists say the hatred and resentment for the person actually increases the sexual attraction.
    This is why we still hear about Hillary Clinton a million times a week, 20 months after she was driven from the field.
    It's also why OOP is still fighting multiple times a day with the posters he was in 2012.

    Does Mark Burnett have tapes of President TrumpOmarosa Manigault Newman has backed the claim that there is a tape of Trump using the N-word on Celebrity Apprentice. Not to be confused with the Access Hollywood tape, the alleged pee tape, the tapes Omarosa made in the White House, or the tapes Michael Cohen made of Trump. saying damaging things during Celebrity Apprentice?
    Yeah, I was in the room.

    You’ve heard him say …
    Oh, yeah.

    Can you tell me what you’ve heard him say?
    No. If Donald Trump had not become president, I would tell you all the stories. But the stakes are now high and I am an unreliable narrator. What I do, as much as anything, is I’m a storyteller. And storytellers are liars. So I can emotionally tell you things that happened racially, sexually, and that showed stupidity and lack of compassion when I was in the room with Donald Trump and I guarantee you that I will get details wrong. I would not feel comfortable talking about what I felt I saw in that room — because when I was on that show I was sleeping four to five hours a night. I was uncomfortable. “Stress” is the wrong word, but I was not at my best. Then at the end of a day, they put you in a room and they bring out a guy [Trump] who has no power whatsoever and he’s capricious and petty and …

    You’ve got to pretend to care what he thinks.
    Yeah! It’s your job. You sit at this table and this man rambles — pontificatesis giving him too much credit. And because you live in the modern world you’ve heard Trump ramble. But you’ve heard Trump ramble when he thinks he’s being careful. Imagine when he feels he can be frank. And I will tell you things, but I will very conscientiously not give you quotations because I believe that would be morally wrong. I’m not trying to protect myself. This really is a moral thing.

    Just so I’m clear: It’s a moral thing because it would be wrong to misquote him or because you don’t want to unduly have an effect on politics?
    If he hadn’t become president, I would be telling stories all day long. And if someone were to say, “Penn didn’t get that exactly right,” you’d go “Who cares?”

    But now being accurate matters more.
    Yeah, the stakes are really high. Not for me. Nothing I can say here hurts my career. But for the world the stakes are higher. He [President Trump] would be reading. And what I’m trying to do here is tell you the story emotionally without telling you specifics.

    Okay, I think I follow your logic.
    He would say racially insensitive things that made me uncomfortable. I don’t think he ever said anything in that room like “African-Americans are inferior” or anything about rape or grabbing women, but of those two hours every other day in a room with him, every ten minutes was fingernails on chalkboard. He would ask one cast member if he’d rather have sex with this woman or that woman. He would be reading on the web about a real-estate deal he’d made — like he’d sold his house for a certain amount and someone on some blog had said he should have gotten more. Then he would turn and say that making X amount on a house makes him a good businessman, right? I would say to him, “What are you talking about? You don’t know who it is reporting that. Is that Forbes?” He had no idea. So when it came to think about supporting him for president, I digested that information from being on the show with him and said, “Absolutely not. He would be a terrible president.” And because I’d been around him and some people cared what I thought, I said that publicly every chance I got — while also saying he’s a good reality show. You want someone capricious and petty and narcissistic to be on your reality show. And boy, I hate to say this, but playing tapes of him doing that job might be unfair. I want those tapes to be used against him, but it might be unfair.

    I can't wait for the explanation that the President was quoting rap lyrics.
