I took down my Rebel flag (which you can't buy on EBAY or Amazon any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off my front window.
I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the candy-ass Neighborhood Watch.

I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard.

Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN Buy on EBAY) and ran it up the flag pole.

Now the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7.

I've NEVER felt safer and I'm saving $69.95 a month that ADT used to charge me.

Plus, I bought burkas for me to wear when I shop or travel.
Everyone moves out of the way and security can't pat me down.
If they say I'm a male wearing a burka, I just say I'm feeling like a woman today.
Hot Damn...Safe at last. Isn't this a great administration or what . . .

Yeah, but you're a white guy. If the theoretical "you" were a black guy, hispanic, or Muslim-looking sort, you wouldn't feel so safe I bet.

They make such a lovely couple; don't you agree? Perfectly in tune with each other!

Exactly. Big of you® to grow a pair® and admit it.

The Latest Outrageous Way the GOP Plans to Stick It to Hillary (and Democracy)
Even sane Republicans are talking themselves into crippling the Supreme Court by refusing to confirm a new justice.

On Monday evening, CNN posted a secretly recorded audiotape of North Carolina Senator Richard Burr speaking at a private meeting this past weekend. In the tape, Burr, who’s in the midst of a tough reelection campaign, can be heard telling the crowd that he’d recently walked into a gun shop and spotted a rifle magazine with a picture of Hillary Clinton on the cover. “I was a little bit shocked at that—it didn’t have a bullseye on it,” Burr said to laughter.

Burr’s gun remark was the big news from the tape—“In private, Burr quips about gun owners shooting Clinton,” read the headline on the CNN story—and the Senator quickly apologized for it. But that's only the second-most troubling thing Burr said. The real shocker was what he said he’d do if Hillary Clinton became president: “I am going to do everything I can do to make sure four years from now, we still got an opening on the Supreme Court.” And this time, Burr wasn’t joking. He was deadly serious....

[O Really]

Sure, it would be better to confirm Hillary's pick(s), and if Republicans really do refuse to do it, the Dems (assuming they control the Senate) will reduce the number needed to confirm to a simple majority instead of the current 60. But in the meantime, most decisions at the appeal level are going in a good direction, and a tied Supreme Court upholds them. Messy, but it still leaves the Republicans hoist on their own petard. (or on their retard) (sorry, so sorry, not-sorry)

They may yet confirm Garland in the lame duck session. He's the best they're gonna get. We'll see.

‘Go to another country’ if you don’t like Trump, (San Antonio) judge tells new U.S. citizens

... “I can assure you that whether you voted for [Trump] or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president and he will be your president,” the judge said ...

Ummm, they're new citizens, they didn't vote.

“And if you do not like that, you need to go to another country.”

He needs to take the citizenship class and test. If you do not like something, you work to change it rather than run away.

... Primomo told San Antonio CBS affiliate KENS that he wanted his words to be unifying and respectful of the office of the president, not political or divisive....

He needs an ESL class.

... Critics started a petition on MoveOn.org to censure the judge, who was appointed in 1988.

Ah, Reagan appointee.

. . . Ah, Reagan appointee.
