It's being reported all over the media and SI (H/T to Honey Bee) that Hillary will use a special podium during the debate, which will allow her to appear much taller than she actually is in order to negate her height difference with Trump. Why she is being afforded preferential treatment? Why is she the only one who is permitted to appear taller on the stage? For starters, the leftist egalitarian mantra clearly and constantly insists that everyone on Earth is exactly the same, and that looks and appearances absolutely do not matter. So why does Hillary want to fake her height and pretend to be something that she's not? By her actions, she is telling short people that they aren't as good as tall people, and that looks, heights, and appearances really do matter. That message is contrary to the tenets of egalitarianism, which leftists claim to hold dear. In fact, they pretend that egalitarianism is like a religion to them, but clearly, they don't actually believe the nonsense that they espouse. It's beyond ridiculous that Hillary is receiving preferential treatment in the debate. Trump should receive the same customization to his podium to artificially allow him to appear much taller too. Now wouldn't that cause a fuss! LOL! Finally, why is Hillary ashamed of her height? The truth is that she is naturally dwarfed in stature by Trump, but how does that affect her message? In other words, why would a leftist like Hillary care about her height, instead of celebrating it and focusing on her message? The fact is that Hillary wants to be falsely presented as something that she's physically not. Once again, this episode is another clear example that she's a fraud, a fake, and a liar! She is such a habitual liar that she has to lie about something as basic as her stature! One can only imagine what the crazy voices inside her insane head are constantly whispering (or screaming) to her! LOL!

GZ, will Mark Cuban at the debate sit next to Trayvon's mother or PEPE the FROG? The Donald maybe should point this out at the debate with Cuban sitting in the front row. ======================================================================= OTRC: MARK CUBAN APOLOGIZES TO TRAYVON MARTIN'S FAMILY AFTER 'BLACK KID IN A HOODIE' REMARK none Mark Cuban arrives at the Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 18, 2014. (John Shearer / Invision / AP) OTRC By Corinne Heller Mark Cuban says he is apologizing to the family of the late Trayvon Martin after making public comments in which he stated that he would walk to the other side of the street if he saw a "black kid in a hoodie" late at night. Cuban, star of the TV show "Shark Tank" and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, came under fire on Twitter for his remarks, made to Inc. magazine at its GrowCo Conference in Nashville, after they were posted online late on Wednesday. Martin, a black teen, was shot to death at age 17 in 2012 by a mixed-race neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, who spotted him walking at night, wearing a hooded sweatshirt. He was also unarmed. The killing was ruled to have been made in self-defense and sparked national protests and debates about race relations in America. He had said in an edited video interview posted on Inc.com: "I mean, we're all prejudiced in one way or the other," he added. "If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face -- white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere, I'm walking back to the other side of the street. And the list goes on, of stereotypes that we all live up to and are fearful of." He had made similar remarks at the conference, according to the outlet. "In hindsight I should have used different examples," Cuban tweeted on Thursday, May 22, following a slew of angry online responses. "I didn't consider the Trayvon Martin family, and I apologize to them for that." "Beyond apologizing to the Martin family, I stand by the words and substance of the interview," Cuban added. "I think that helping people improve their lives, helping people engage with people they may fear or may not understand, and helping people realize that while we all may have our prejudices and bigotries ... we have to learn that it's an issue that we have to control, that it's part of my responsibility as an entrepreneur to try to solve it." Cuban was also asked at the conference about his opinion about NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's decision to ban Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the league for life due to racist remarks he made in a leaked tape of a conversation with a woman. There is a June 3 hearing during which fellow owners will vote on whether to force him to sell his team. He has maintained he is not a racist and said he made a "terrible mistake." Cuban said he thinks what Sterling said was "abhorrent" and that Silver "had to do it" but called the whole situation a "very, very slippery slope."
