Wanna blame someone for Trayvon's death, Zimmerman would not have been on patrol if Black men hadn't been robbing homes in the complex.
Black lady reportedly told a reporter that's who were doing the burglaries.

Another school shooting...in Colorado,
Sad, and totally preventable.
Gotta have proper security.
Gotta search everyone, like at airports.
And have staged entry systems / physical barriers....
It's the only way.

"He said a guy pulled a pistol out of a guitar case and started to shoot," Montoya told ABC affiliate Denver 7.

Trump is angry because one of his fundraisers acted the same way Trump would have, given a chance.

"Six million more" they chanted, while interrupting a Holocaust Remembrance Day event.

Such class.

CANDACE OWENS SAYS IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF DONALD TRUMP DEPORTED ILHAN OMAR

Not all women of color buy her divisive message of hate and self-loathing. Reversing the chain migration of Somalians by BHO would be a good thing?

1) Donald Trump can't deport anyone.
2) Ilhan is as much an American citizen as presumably you and Candace Owens are.

Other than that, Candace Owens' analysis is as spot-on as usual.

You are getting flabby, Koach. Do you need someone to help you do your laps like Zimmerman helped Martin?

Quote
Warren has also pointed out more forcefully than any rival that Trump tried to derail an investigation not just into his own campaign’s conduct, but also into the Russian attack on our democracy -- which Trump has refused to acknowledge happened at all, hamstringing preparations for the next attack.

As McConnell’s speech showed, the GOP is all in with that as well. And the GOP appears all in with Trump’s escalating efforts to treat House oversight of the administration as fundamentally illegitimate....

Meanwhile, Trump may try to block former White House counsel Donald McGahn, who witnessed multiple Trump efforts to obstruct justice, and possibly even Mueller, from testifying to Congress. The administration won’t release Trump’s tax returns, violating the law. And Trump has vowed to resist “all” subpoenas.

Legal experts tell Adam Liptak that such wholesale resistance to oversight threatens the constitutional order, placing Trump, as one puts it, “above the law.” Few if any Republicans are raising an eyebrow about any of this.

Thus, Warren’s call for an impeachment inquiry is linked to a big argument -- one broader than that of any other candidate -- about how the GOP has actively enabled Trump’s authoritarianism, lawlessness, shredding of governing norms, and embrace of the corruption of our political system on his behalf.

Warren is comprehensively treating Trump as both a severe threat to the rule of law in his own right, and treating this as inextricably linked to a deeper pathology -- the GOP’s drift into comfort with authoritarianism...
