Just got called by the Bernie Campaign in Hidalgo County, Tx

I'm going to be manning the phones on Wednesday.

And maybe the rest of the week after that.

Finally, something more than just cash to contribute.

Huasteca Wisdom



When one is dead, one does not know that he is dead.
Everyone else knows and they are the ones who suffer.

The same thing happens when one is an idiot.

Donald Trump calls Pope Francis 'disgraceful' for questioning his faith

Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump has called Pope Francis “disgraceful” over the pontiff’s suggestion the Republican presidential frontrunner was “not a Christian” for his plan to build a wall at the Mexican border.

Flying back to Rome from a trip to Mexico, the pope said: “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.”

Trump responded swiftly at a campaign event in South Carolina, saying: “For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful.”

“No leader, especially a religious leader, has the right to question another man’s religion or faith,” he told a packed room at a golf course resort. Trump then accused the Mexican government of “using the pope as a pawn”.

Please explain to American Catholics how berating the Pope is a good idea.

Border Patrol Accidentally Kills Dog on Live TV (Warning - Graphic)



Accidentally?! I don't fucking think so.

This is Texas, where they used to post signs on store windows: "No dogs or Mexicans allowed".
