thegailygrind.com‘Trump Bros’ Who Fed Each Other Nachos At Trump Rally Break Their Silence – The Gaily GrindMarius Loots, a former Marine and current University of Central Florida student, has come forward as one of the two "Trump Bros" who made headlines on SatuImportant political investigative work.
Largest mass arrest in Washington's history just happened. Did you hear about it?
"This genderqueer savanna cat will not hem in its gender presentation to conform to your suffocating boxes or your feel-good assimilationist gay love story. This male top is actually maybe vers, and just because his sex partner isnât femme doesnât mean heâs gay. Just because his partner was assigned female at birth doesnât mean heâs straight, either. Botswanaâs lion scene has achieved a level of queerness the modern LGBTQ movement should strive to reach."

Guys-- can anyone provide some reading on "safe spaces" versus "self segregation"? I see affluent folks participating in things that skirt the law on the regular, under the guise of "gay inclusivity" (using areas without permits, public drinking, etc) and they are mostly white monied men.
I know that we need safe spaces to gather and share common experience, but when does that become detrimentally exclusionary? When does it breed racism, classism, and homonormativiyy?

1/2 of all federal inmates are there due to drugs. Something is wrong-- free them, not just from prison but also from stigma.
If you have power and don't use it, you are complicit in these horrors.
When will you do something? How many deaths inside black churches? How many rapes? How many of my brothers and sisters need to be slaughtered?
Get radical.

The radicalized American in Orlando was closeted? If you've ever bullied a queer individual for their sexuality, you have blood on your hands. You are responsible for this.
Yo voté.
How a D.C. political novice unseated longtime council member Vincent Orange.
We've largely replaced our council in just 2 years-- as a city, we took ethics and finance seriously enough to make big changes.
Perhaps this is a good model for our Nation's approach to the future?

The president is having a town hall on race and gun violence next door. I want to go-- they're literally next door.
If he were writing âThe Art of the Dealâ today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, âThe Sociopath.â

Good Job, Kim Rhodes!
Now...
"As the fact check site Snopes points out, her sixth medal was covered by many major U.S. news outlets, including USA Today, the New York Times, CBS Sports, SB Nation, NBC, WGN and the Chicago Tribune. Other outlets like Time, Forbes, Huffington Post and NPR covered Rhodeâs bronze medal and mentioned her pro-Second Amendment values.
Both Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal wrote about the stigma attached to shooting sports but as Five Thirty Eight noted, Americans arenât really excited about the event, and that more than anything is what is responsible for limited sponsorships.
Shooting sports are ranked among the least popular games at the 2016 Rio Olympics. It wasnât even listed in an Adweek survey announcing the â11 Olympic Sports That Viewers Are Most Excited About Watching,â because it didnât make it into the top 11 sports. If fans of the sport were more supportive of their event and encouraged a higher viewership, perhaps Rhode could score some sponsorships and the sport could get more attention."
Anywho, spend some time in the comments, but try not to respond. Avoid trolls, but don't create an echo-chamber for yourself.

Anderson is being steam rolled and its not as hot as I had hoped.
Yes, lets look at Orlando, Donald. Tell me more.
"I'm gonna force them back into their countries," Donald Trump. Tell me how, buddy.
Give them a history lesson, Hillary. Lincoln 'em.
"I voted to close the loophole you took advantage of" -- will this get the traction it deserves?
What info do you have on the rebels that she doesn't have, Donald?
"How stupid is our country?" Bro, you're the nominee. I think we know.
Yes, lets take a look at Washington, DC, Donald. Lets talk about why we're divisive.
So you can't be a good person with a sex tape? Uh oh.
"Exercise your franchise" -- finally, Hillary. A good, organic catch phrase.
Am I actually gonna have to go to HillaryClinton.Com to fact check this 1000 years of energy from coal? Clean coal? Thats gotta be some made up shit, right? Brandon T. !
Yeah. The kids.
These commentators
"Fiesty presidential debate" -- hm.
"Most contentious debate in american history" -- uh, are you out of your mind? People got shot.

So, an audience of undecided voters... and it was stocked with Bill Clinton's accusers? No way. Thats a lot.
I'll gladly vote for the one who can grow and learn and apologize.

So I read all the fact checking pieces-- no quotes from God on whether Trump's assertion that Hillary was the literal Devil or nah. Guess I'll have to go to work not knowing... Get your shit together NPR.
Our third party Candidate, everybody!

If you havenât been following the fascinating story of how billionaire Peter Thiel shuttered Gawker, youâre missing a story that should also function as a warning. RIP Gawker

To excuse itâover and overâis to tell him heâs right in thinking that women and girls are less than men. To vote for someone so unapologetic in his sexism, to make him the face of your nation, is to tell girls that they must take whatever a man dishes out. No â it tells everyone this.

Woke up & DOW Jones futures were down 700 points. Back to bed.
8 years ago, I could not sleep because the streets were packed with celebration. Today, the faces on the bus are as long as this horrific fever dream. Cold sweat, cold rain.
Lots of folks don't know why they're being unfriended like they haven't had the n-bomb dropped in their house with aplomb. Stop. You know how your husbands feel. You know how you act with adults (if not children). And, do you know how that VP feels about folks like me? Stop. Just stop.
Not all Trump supporters self identify as racist or stupid.
So, my queer friends house in Philly has been egged & the church down the way has been vandalized with "white nation." Heard about these two older guys trying to decide whether or not to take off their "make America great again" hats before going into a Manhattan bar-- so easy for them, not so for the black church & the 'pink' house.

"Meanwhile, Trump has already sought to leverage the office of the presidency to pressure foreign governments to take actions that would improve his bottom line. Trump admitted that he asked a group of British politicians to kill a proposed wind farm he believed would mar the views at a golf course he owns in Scotland. He reportedly asked the president of Argentina to approve permits for a high-rise in Buenos Aires. (Trump denied the allegation, although his local partner announced the project was moving forward the next day.) Trump has also had his daughter Ivanka, who is supposedly managing his day-to-day business interests, sit in on meetings with heads of state.
Eisen views the current situation as dire. If Trump is permitted to be sworn in as president without selling his companies, he says, the country is facing a âwholesale oligarchic kleptocracy of a kind that we have never seen before in our history.â"

Over 1000 hate crimes *reported* since the middle of November. If you weren't aware of that, you're probably heterosexual and white.
