I wonder what government agency he is planning to gut today while everyone is looking over here?
I'm not saying all of Trump's supporters are stupid...not that I couldn't

Heh - a lucid and valid point!
Enough With the Shit, Green Party. The Coming Midterms Are Too Important for Your Shenanigans
Enter: Green Party candidate Joe Manchik.
----------
Joe Manchik couldnt even remember his own fucking website! And yet, Joe Manchik is also responsible for winning over 1,100 votes, or some 0.6 percent of votes that probably would have gone to OConnor.
And thats my biggest beef with the Green Party; your LaVar Ball-ish sideshow shit is taking votes from viable Democratic candidates who are actually trying to implement change.

You only get to vote for the third party guy if you are so steeped in some kind of privilege the impact of trump and a republican house and senate will not actually have a negative impact on you economically.... if you are not that then you are an eejit, at best
Omarosa says Trump is a racist who uses N-word - and claims there's tape to prove it
The future US president was caught on mic uttering the taboo racial slur multiple times during the making of his reality TV show The Apprentice and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault Newman, citing three unnamed sources.
-----------------
She also claims that she personally witnessed Trump use racial epithets about the White House counselor Kellyanne Conways husband George Conway, who is half Filipino. Would you look at this George Conway article? she quotes the president as saying. F**ing FLIP! Disloyal! Fucking Goo-goo.
Both flip and goo-goo are terms of racial abuse for Filipinos.

One has to wonder why she stuck around for so long based on this - but at the same time, the fact that she did does not make the accusations any less true IMO
Succinct and too the point!
hehe - genius!
Bad intentions indeed

21st Century Lynching
Armando Frank, 44, was being arrested on a warrant for minor charges stemming from a neighbor dispute. The charges of simple criminal trespassing and attempted unauthorized entry into a dwelling and had resulted in court-ordered treatment at VA hospital.
Frank died from manual strangulation after the encounter shown in the video. In the video, a law enforcement officer climbs on the tractor behind Frank and applies a choke hold while another officer tries to pull Frank down. Frank goes limp, and the officers drag his lifeless body to a patrol car.
The Advocate had the video reviewed by Gregory Gilbertson, director of the criminal justice program at Centralia College in Washington state. Gilbertson pointed out that Frank was trying to find out what he was being arrested for and who signed the warrant. Instead, sheriffs deputy Brandon Spillman put him in a lateral vascular neck restraint, which cuts off airflow and is therefore, typically a last resort, according to Gilbertson.

The normal rules apply and I am totally stealing from urban hermit for this bit!
Once a photo is entered in a contest it is ineligible for any future contest unless the Host specifies otherwise.
The Host of the contest is the one that comes up with the Theme of their contest. They can just decide on a theme or may ask for suggestions and then run a poll to pick one of them. Either way the Theme will always be at the discretion of the person hosting the contest.
The Host also has the option of adding other rules to the contest they are hosting. An example would be no Black & White or all Black & White entries.
The Host has the option of declaring the submissions being blind (no one knows who entered which photo) or public. Should the Host op for blind submissions it is their responsibility to instruct entrants on how to get their entries to the host.
Please keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 675K in file size. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask.
The Host is the final authority in their contests.
Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.
The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. The host of the monthly contest cannot enter the contest they are hosting.
The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per Skinners permission.
