If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Huge surprise. Porter is one. I’d bet Bolton makes the list with his PAC shenanigans. Ivanka. Did any of the Steves pass? Highly doubtful. The list goes on.

But...

Obama wore a tan suit!

And he put his feet up on the desk.

And he made a marine hold an umbrella for him.

And don't forget that he played with a selfie stick!

Clearly O was much more inappropriately maligned than Trump
[heh

Religious freedom, in the GOP's opinion, means we allow our religions or we allow none:

Boy's doin fine work.....

Your “Boy” is basically just another asshole born on third but thinks he hit a triple. That you actually think he’s doing anything of importance is funny.


“We’re talking about a guy who isn’t particularly bright or hard-working, doesn’t actually know anything, has bought his way into everything ever (with money he got from his criminal father), who is deeply insecure and obsessed with fame (you don’t buy the NYO, marry Ivanka Trump, or constantly talk about the phone calls you get from celebrities if it’s in your nature to ‘shun the spotlight’), and who is basically a shithead.”

Homeland Security Disbands Domestic Terror Intelligence Unit

Quote
The group in question was a branch of analysts in DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). They focused on the threat from homegrown violent extremists and domestic terrorists. The analysts there shared information with state and local law enforcement to help them protect their communities from these threats.
...
Pressed on whether DHS disputes this reporting, a senior DHS official pushed back.

“The same people are working on the issues,” the official said. “We just restructured things to be more responsive to the I&A customers within DHS and in local communities while reducing overlap with what the FBI does. We actually believe we are far more effective now.”

But Sgt. Mike Abdeen with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told The Daily Beast that his office used to receive a significant amount of material from I&A, but that the communications have dried up in recent months. For the last six months, he said, I&A has been mostly silent. He added that this has been consistent with broader changes in how the department communicates with his office.

“It’s been very quiet lately,” Abdeen said. “It’s changed with the new administration. It doesn’t seem to be as robust, as active, as important—it is important, I’m sure, but it’s not a priority. It doesn’t seem like engagement, outreach, and prevention are seen as a priority as we used to see in the past. There were roundtable meetings in the past, there was more activity, more training, more seminars. Now it seems like it’s gone away.”
