Donnie just started kissing Katy Tur, as he can't help himself. If you remember, at one rally last year he stirred up the crowd against he so badly the Secret Service had to escort her to her car. This would be why he's throwing a fit this morning about people who write books about him.

I saw cars get totaled from a hail storm because of this, if the windows busted and hail melted in the interior the adjusters didn't even look at anything else just went straight to writing it off. Meanwhile I got the value of my car in cash and one salvage title later I'm driving a free golf ball around because the windows didn't break.

Kooler than Jesus
gently caress you refugees. - Supreme Court


http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/12/politics/travel-ban-supreme-court-refugees/index.html

The Supreme Court granted Tuesday a Trump administration request to continue to bar most refugees under its travel ban.

Without comment, the court blocked a federal appeals court ruling from last week that would have exempted refugees who have a contractual commitment from resettlement organizations from the travel ban while the justices consider its legality. The ruling could impact roughly 24,000 people.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced his resignation Tuesday, hours after new sexual abuse allegations surfaced against the embattled politician.

Murray, a Democrat and the city's first openly gay mayor, said he was resigning effective 5 p.m. Wednesday so the scandal would no longer overshadow his office.

The mayor's announcement comes after his cousin gave an interview with the Seattle Times alleging abuse, the latest in a series of similar accusations. The cousin is the fifth person to publicly accuse Murray of child sexual abuse since a lawsuit was filed against him in April.

No poo poo Facebook wasn't the problem in 1861, it didn't even exist.

Slavers still huffed their own farts until they thought they could take the North without trains, factories, or secure trade routes. It took them most of a century to get that high. Social media is barely 15 years old and they're already on that "we surround them" poo poo again.
