Tom Arnold said the worst part to him of the tapes he wouldnt release was how Trump

called his own son "retarded".

I dont recall which son, I could listen to the interview again, it was Tom Arnold interviewing Martin Mull and they talked about the tapes.

He said Trump used all the bad language one would expect of an ass like him but that was the worst, but yes to the N word and so on.

I wonder, would it have mattered? Does it matter that Manafort's own daughter says he is guilty of murder?

Is half of this country so racist, so misogynist and Islamophobic, homophobic, that any behavour is OK as long as that person is on their side?

Texas state rep proposes fines for masturbation

http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/323624-texas-state-rep-proposes-fines-for-masturbation






Texas state rep proposes fines for masturbation
A Texas state representative has introduced legislation that would fine men for masturbating and require them to undergo counseling before obtaining a prescription for Viagra, in an effort to highlight anti-abortion laws that place restrictions on women.

The legislation introduced by state Rep. Jessica Farrar (D) would impose a $100 civil penalty for "masturbatory emissions" that take place outside of a woman's vagina or a hospital. Each incident would be "considered an act against an unborn child, and failing to preserve the sanctity of life," the bill reads.


If men had babies, there would be abortion clinics on every other corner.

One month travel costs for Trump as much as one year for Obama...

Trump's Family Trips Cost Taxpayers Nearly As Much In A Month As Obama's Cost In A Whole Year

And now the promised donation of his salary not happening I hear.

What does a trump supporter say when confronted with any number of the lies and hypocrisy, but especially these two?

Anybody ever ask one?

I refuse to talk to anyone I suspect is a trumpster and if I have to talk to them for any reason I would never allow politics to be discussed.

Documentary reveals overlooked footage in Michael Brown case in Ferguson

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/documentary-reveals-overlooked-footage-in-michael-brown-case-in-ferguson/article_8aa5908d-cb00-53c6-a833-c1672e471791.html



ST. LOUIS • Citing previously unseen surveillance footage, a documentary that debuted Saturday at a popular film festival in Austin, Texas, claims that Michael Brown didn’t rob a Ferguson convenience store moments before he was fatally shot by police Aug. 9, 2014.

It instead asserts that Brown’s altercation with the shop was part of a misunderstanding tied to a possible drug transaction he had with store employees on a prior visit.

The new surveillance video used in the film, “Stranger Fruit,” suggests Brown first showed up at Ferguson Market and Liquor about 1 a.m., many hours before he and police faced off.

EIGHTH Russian Connected To Trump Found Dead

http://crooksandliars.com/2017/03/eighth-russian-connected-trump-found-dead


Stop me if you've heard this one: A Russian operative with ties to Donald Trump dies.

It's not an unusual story. In fact, it's happened seven times in the last year.

A complete destruction of the State Department is what Putin told Trump to do.

The state department is what makes America a leader through out the world.

Putin hates that.

The state department is being destroyed on purpose for a reason.

Putin is running the show. GOP is good with that. Rest of the world not so much.

Thanks to Rachel for pointing this out. You can see how frustrated she is, she is watching the Russians take over our government and pretty much nobody cares.

By nobody I mean I bet you 85% of the country has no clue what I am talking about.

Oh, is it a coincidence Assange released CIA intel now? Nope, you know Trump asked him to, the ultimate treason, if anybody cares. And if he didn't ask him to, he didn't have to, it was obvious it was done to help Trump.

Oh what we would give for ONE patriot in the republican party right about now.

If you thought cross check was bad and cost the 2016 election, future elections

will be the most corrupt in a century.

We know what happened with cross check. We know what happened with closed polling places.

We know there is NO way 70,000 mostly black voters in Detroit stand in line in the freezing cold ALL DAY LONG just so they can vote down ticket and leave the prez spot blank. (twice the normal number allegedly did this in FL also, BULLSHIT)

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/30/jill-stein-recount-promise-filing-recount-michigan.html

And how many millions of voters were disallowed their franchise due to cross check?

How in the hell does anybody expect to have an honest election anywhere when one side is dedicated to stealing the election at all costs?

Oh, and the elections commission is gone! http://www.npr.org/2017/02/08/514161156/as-trump-warns-against-fraud-gop-votes-to-eliminate-election-commission

No republican can even pretend to say they want honest elections and everybody voting. This is no longer a democracy.

The Republican plan raids $346 billion from the Medicare trust fund to pay for tax breaks

socialsecurityworks.org

Not providing link for reason I wont go into, you can google it.



Immediately after Election Day, Paul Ryan “justified” his plan to gut Medicare by saying, “because of Obamacare, Medicare is going broke.” And while the opposite is true (ACA has in fact extended the lifespan of the Medicare Trust Fund), the GOP’s plan to gut the ACA is a self-fulfilling prophecy: Weaken Medicare in order to destroy the program through privatization.

The Republican plan raids $346 billion from the Medicare trust fund to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy, and in turn intentionally weakens Medicare’s finances.


This is what you want if you are a republican. Period
