Just got a bit more respect for the intercept and it's reporting. Surprised a US official for press relations said this to a news outlet. They should have known better.

I wonder if any are conservatives.

You know because conservatives always say there's a media bias against them.

The term 'blacklisted' was originaly a naval term, created when they made all the black passengers stand on one side of the ship to tilt the keel.

The humor was provided by a traditional aping mechanic, being too dumb to cojugate stupid.

Good luck at parties.

Pretty sure you don't get invited. Can't admit you're wrong. But w/e.

I think, even without admitting it, everyone just assumed this is true. It's trump related after all, and he's a bad guy.
