Don't ever forget this is the real face of a Trump supporter




Authorities in Kansas filed first-degree murder charges against a man accused of opening fire in a bar there, killing one Indian man, injuring two other people and causing fears about bigotry to reverberate across the globe.

According to witness accounts, the gunman reportedly told two of the people who were shot — both Indian men who work for Garmin, the technology firm — to “get out of my country” before opening fire and had also used racial slurs during the Wednesday evening shooting.

Multiple law enforcement agents launched an investigation into the deadly shooting inside Austin’s Bar and Grill in Olathe, a city about 20 miles southwest of Kansas City. Even as authorities said they had not yet identified a motive for the attack, relatives of the Indian men said they feared the shooting was connected to a climate of fear and xenophobia in America.

The father of one of the people injured pointed to the election of President Trump, who has routinely described a threat posed to Americans from people outside the country’s borders, and pleaded with parents in India “not to send their children to the United States.”

as anything he's done, and history will record it.

It's stunning to see how many worms are crawling out of the ground and how far they'll go. License to kill...

Now they're building a helipad at Mar-a-largo so Dump won't have to see the protesters on his way to and from the airport - which will screw-up air traffic even more.Can't even surf around the whitemen's, winter white house anymore either even though the high tide point outward on the beach is public property by law.

I remember we were fishing around there back 20 years ago and security tried to wave our boat off just because young Ivanka and Don Jr. decided to hit the beach. We taught her how to shoot a bird.

Never did like that guy.

I am one year older than this person, but he looks like he has about 20 years on me. I live on the other side of Missouri, so we have pretty much lived in the same climate all these years.

Remember when President Obama's Justice Department issued a report pointing to the rise of RIGHT-WING violence, intolerance, and initiated terror? The CONS and white supremacists and so-called "white nationalists" (fuck that "white nationalist" crap. They're white supremacists) had a hissy fit. So the Obama Justice Department backed off, and retracted that report (!?!?!?!?!?!?).

Which, seems to me, violates one of the basics of child-rearing: you DON'T reward or reinforce bad behavior. The proper response should have been to stand by that report, because it happened to be TRUE. And too bad if those anti-social, anti-American fuckers didn't like it.

And yeah. I'll say that, too. These assholes who perpetrate that hatred, spray swastikas all over the sides of churches, terrorize the black community, desecrate Jewish graves, target Latino families (because, HORRORS! Some of 'em might be illleeeeeeeegal), and challenge the legitimacy of gay rights, are UN-AMERICAN. They're UN-American.

They're UN-American.

They might as well be partnering with ISIS.

Because they're DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

when people ask us to reach out to the voters of boy potus puppet and his string pullers, prezidents bannon and miller. Reach out and draw back a nub or worse."Not yet identified a motive"!!!!! Always trying to put the best face on the very evil mask of true ameriKKKan culture that has always lain beneath a very thin veneer of civility and distraction that has, NOW, been washed away by the terrible triumvirate.. The ones who wanted the 'Southern' racist mentality, appreciated by many in all sections of ameriKKKa, to rise again? They've won a battle in the 2nd Civil War. I for one am glad to have the sides declared and the fight for the soul of this country on. Fuck a racist pig like this. He'll probably get off after a 'jury of his peers' get hold of this one.....maybe

"get out of my country", it offends me deeply. I wish my ancestors could've kept HIS the hell out, because he sure doesn't look tribal to me. I'll bet that miserable bastard has never done anything of value in his entire life, so he bought into Dolt 45*'s "Hate the Other" bullshit as an excuse for his shitty life choices. And I'm sure that nobody from 45*'s office has even bothered to contact the hero who was shot stopping him. That doesn't fit into their shitty little "White is Right" narrative they've got going. The shooter/victims were the wrong color.
