Who was the last presidential candidate to have facial hair?   

Reported recently...

Trump got the white vote

Trump got the male vote

Trump got the 45-64 vote

Trump got the over 65 vote

Trump got the 50-100k income vote

Just 8 per cent of black vote. True
Old white middle.income males. That is a vanishing demographic.

Also, only 46% of the vote and 3 million fewer votes than his opponent.

That's why the system is so good...every 'little' person, in every little town, gets a vote that means something....don't get swamped by the numbers in CA and NY.

Vanishing...but not dead yet.

Trump won the election...under the same system "the first Black President" did before him.
Not Trump's fault half the country can't be bothered voting.

Older folks voted for Trump?
Of course they did, they're the ones living in the real world, not dreamland.

Trump stands condemned...
...the premeditated, cold-blooded, deliberate killing of human beings in US Federal death chambers is to resume soon.

Luee says "Better safe than sorry."

I am sure Luee feels much safer knowing this high school kid was prevented from going to the college soccer event.

Fortunately, they had a feeble excuse to hold him, if not to do so for three weeks!

(His mother should be punished for stupidity.)

Puleeze, it is not as if they are going after all Latino names. All have a case history. Looks like this particular family all had false identity papers. It is more than stupid to slip into the US and make up false papers.

The kid was a US citizen.

He was held for three weeks, even when they had an easy way to verify his citizenship.

He was not a threat!

Like I said, I knew you would be happy.

He should blame those entering illegally.

Yeah, because lawmen are not responsible for following the law or doing their jobs.

Got it.

Asshole.

The law is an ass...and is being changed.
...just hasn't actually been changed in writing in America yet.

People are leaving California in droves, reportedly.
"Roads are carparks, housing is unaffordable, etc." ...so say Americans on YouTube.
Let's see if you can see the internal inconsistency in your statement. You don't need a Harvard degree to do so.

No one goes there. It's too crowded.

I know. I’d post but I’m too distracted by the sound of the ice cream truck.

It’s 76 Fahrenheit, 24 Celsius, in San Diego, right now, with by some miracle copious elbow room, and forecasts of all that persisting through next week. Saints be blessed and all that.

It's 43 Celsius [109.4 F] in Paris.

If Obama had okayed a tax cut Hillary would be President today.

Anyone who introduces universal healthcare [in combination with a private system] will win the next election.
It's a no-brainer.

Looks like Russia and China are becoming inseparable allies now...the big red alliance.
Doing joint flying exercises.

Time for boycotts by consumers in the West?

In my newspaper today;
'Trump wants to put a woman on the moon by 2024".
Wonder if he has any women in mind?

Anyone remember where they were 50 years ago when the Eagle landed?

I remember my family was at the Gilgo Beach marina and my brother beat me to the air horn. Normally I would have been pissed but we were so excited w didn’t care who had one hopped the other. every one in the marina was cheering and blaring their horns and ringing their bells in one the best expressions of communal joy I’ve ever experienced.

Way out in the country, preparing for my wedding of a few days later.

No fantasies, this couple is dead.
Murdered, ...unarmed and unsuspecting...shot dead.
Old van broke down...simply cannot travel around in old vehicles and break down.
Might be ok on 5th Avenue at rush hour, but not in the wilderness or lonely roads in rural places.
Woman's vehicle breaks down anywhere...doesn't take long for rapists, robbers, and murderers to appear from nowhere.

Why weren't there signs up on that road?
Why weren't people issued with guns on that road for self defence?

Where was "Sgt Preston of the Yukon" and his dog, protecting the people?
Probably doing their best...but not even the cops can save you from the bad people.
Aussie guy was the son of a top cop.
He travelled the world, visited 'every' dangerous city/country in the world...but his luck ran out in "peace, love and harmony, no guns" Canada!

The stretch of road where Mr Fowler and Ms Deese were found on July 15 has been dubbed “Highway of Tears”. Between 18 and 50 women were murdered or went missing along the 724km of road since 1970.

The deaths have gripped British Columbia with fears a serial killer is responsible, initially sparking further concern the couple’s deaths could be linked to the murderer.

In 2015, signs along the highway warn of a serial killer on the loose, cautioning girls not to hitchhike, though the killer theory is only speculation.

No guns, no guns ready to use at a moment's notice, then there's no hope for you.
Like lambs to the slaughter, you 'will' be shot dead beside a highway in Canada.

Guns are great, and necessary for self defence today.
The bad people lurk in the shadows, waiting to pounce.

An Australian man and his American girlfriend have died in suspicious circumstances in Canada, sparking fears they may have been murdered.

The family of an Australian man and his American partner are searching for answers after the couple were found dead on the side of a Canadian highway in suspicious circumstances.
Lucas Fowler was found dead alongside his girlfriend, US woman Chynna Deese, on a remote stretch of the Alaska Highway, British Columbia, just as they were about to set off on a road trip around the “top half of the globe”.

Ms Deese had reportedly left her home to visit Mr Fowler, who had been working at a ranch in Canada, when tragedy struck.

At least in America a man and woman can carry handguns...gunslinger style, and have a machine gun slung over their shoulder.
...and use them at a second's notice.
