And too clueless to recognize that what he claims makes them fake weighs just as heavily towards making them real.

He's watched some Forensic Files and between that and his inherent sense of (white) supremacy, he knows a fake when he sees it - even though he's been provided zero context. zero other evidence, etc.

It would be funny - if it weren't spectacularly ignorant, closed-minded, and reflective of his deep-seated prejudice against people who might actually be experiencing legitimate victimization in the post-DJT election environment of America this very day!

:loon :roll: :arg :evil:

Yeah, wes, you caught me, I forged all of those notes/pictures of people with their faces bashed in/houses defaced with spraypainted threats. That is clearly the most logical reaction to all of these incidents of violence and threats.

I think I'll change my sig line to remind you of how the Trump/Pence administration is using you. That's Trump on top, Pence on the bottom, and you in the middle.

Because you're too clueless to realize that almost anyone has forgotten more about U.S. politics than you could ever hope to learn.

Gay Man Attacked by Store Manager, Customer in Front of 4-Year-Old Son: ‘The Faggot Who Voted for Hillary’

ames Shawlin and his 4-year-old son were shopping at Floor and Decor in Highlands Ranch, Colorado on Friday when he says they were verbally assaulted by a store manager who called him “the faggot that voted for Hillary,” and by another customer who overheard the manager and interjected, “what are these faggots going to do to this child?”

Shawlin said he had returned to the store complaining about some damaged stone slabs he had bought for an interior renovation when the alleged assault happened, 9 News reports:

“I was a little firm with him, and I just told him, ‘hey, you know, my husband and I spend a lot of money here. We’ve been using you guys for ten years. We have $3,000 worth of stone.’” Shawlin said. “And [the manager] goes, ‘oh, that explains it now. The faggot that voted for Hillary.’”

Shawlin said another customer in the aisle who’d overheard the exchange expressed his support for Donald Trump. Shawlin said the same customer followed him outside and used a derogatory term.

“He basically said, ‘what are these faggots going to do to this child?’” Shawlin said.

Shawlin posted about the incident on Facebook, but has now taken his story to local media in hopes of raising awareness about how customers are being treated at the store.

Floor and Decor, an Atlanta-based company with 75 stores nationwide, told 9News it is taking Shawlin’s complaint “very seriously” and will be conducting an investigation.

I actually feel a little bit sorry for all the employers who are finding out they have a bunch of racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist ASSHOLES working for them.

I'm thinking a LOT of people are going to be losing their jobs. Guess what? Free speech ain't free in capitalist systems - you want to openly disparage and denigrate the customers who pay your salary? Be prepared to LOSE YOUR JOB!

What's Trump gonna do about THAT?! :nana

What do you think about the calls from political pundits and other persons for him to make a real statement addressing the hundreds of acts of racial/religious/gender hostility that have occurred nationwide since Election Day?

Something more than saying 'stop it' on 60 Minutes, that is.

Do you think that's the proper role for a President-elect who just installed an avowed anti-semite and proponent of racist/neo-Nazi propaganda into the senior advisor position in his administration?

Or is he entirely blameless?

Which Seven House Republicans Just Killed An LGBT Bill Supported By 7 Out Of 10 Americans?

Wednesday night a small but extremely powerful Republican-led House committee killed the last chance ENDA had of passing in the 113th Congress.

The image at the top of your page is the official photo of the complete House Rules Committee of the 113th Congress. Comprised of nine Republicans and four Democrats, the committee gets to decide which bills will ever reach the House floor for a vote, and under what rule. Think of it as a traffic cop for legislation.

Last night, this very powerful committee, by a 7-3 vote, killed ENDA, despite 73 percent of Americans supporting the concept that it's not OK to fire someone just because they're LGBT, and despite the fact that 69 percent of Americans already think we have such a law on the federal books, even though we do not.

So yet again, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is dead.
Tell us again with a straight face that Republicans are not rabid homophobic bigots.

If you cannot bring yourself to support even this minimal level of protection for gay people, the opportunity to earn their daily bread, then you are in effect saying that you prefer that gay people would die.

The tattoos and pink triangles and concentration camps are not far behind.

Rabid? That's the hydrophoby not the homophoby. Isn't it?

I think you mean drooling homophobic bigots. Don't you?

    • Armstrong Williams, a close friend of Carson who managed the retired neurosurgeon's presidential campaign, told The Hill last month that Carson was not interested in serving as Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services.

      "Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency,” Williams said at the time.
