  The people are mobilizing Mr Drumpf

  protesters shut down a trump rally.

  massive numbers of people are out in chicago and have shut his event down.

  there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.

  I've been researching family history, and racism is an issue for Trump. Any voter who wishes to be aware can do their own research.

  Just google "woody guthrie and trump" and you will experience shock and awe. SMDH

  Okay, I can't help myself. From the The Washington Post, read the article. Here's an excerpt.

  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/22/the-unbelievable-story-of-why-woody-guthrie-hated-donald-trumps-racist-dad/
  

  There, in one of Guthrie’s notebooks — which contain pages upon pages of lyrics never set to music — he found these lines, written in the early 1950s:

  I suppose
  Old Man Trump knows
  Just how much
  Racial Hate
  he stirred up
  In the bloodpot of human hearts
  When he drawed
  That color line
  Here at his
  Eighteen hundred family project

  There was also this:

  Beach Haven ain’t my home!
  I just cain’t pay this rent!
  My money’s down the drain!
  And my soul is badly bent!
  Beach Haven looks like heaven
  Where no black ones come to roam!
  No, no, no! Old Man Trump!
  Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!

  I look back on feeling ashamed.

  If I may?
  
  Don't feel shame. Feel sorry that you may have hurt someone, and realize that now you KNOW better, and now you DO better. Be proud that you overcame the programming. Shame is subjective. You were misled - the shame lies with those who steered you wrong. xx tal

  hahaha!

  I have to say, I don't like religion. *grins*

  .

  BUT, a great story (I think) about my former landlord,,,,

  He was Hindu, and a Swami (a spiritual leader). They had their temple service on Sundays, and after the service, always a pot luck. It's a very close community.

  My landlord would drop by every Sunday, and bring me a plate of delish Indian food. He is well-known in my city for his kindness and wisdom, and being both an humanistic and spiritual leader.

  He told me about the Hindu version of Hell. Everyone is seated at a banquet table. They cannot bend their arms or wrists. They are seated at a table with an huge feast. The only way to eat, is to feed each other. So they *must* help each other, or forever starve in their hatred of 'other'.
  
  I thought that was an amazing religious interpretation. Cool, huh?

  Like I've said from the beginning of his campaign, just sit back and watch this train wreck meet its well deserved end.

  'nuff said.

  I do love their coffee, Simon. It's much better than Timmie's, don't you think?
  
  Ah, so rare I could ask a board member that! How many are Canadian? ; )

  .

  It's a great ad, because it's changing that Asian cultural, and homophobic, norm. For Canadians, it's no biggie now. Remember when we had the ruling? The controversy? So, yeah, I know that Mickey Dee's only does it for profit, but it's a benefit to the culture, in this case. It's like, cultural imperialism is actually doing a 'good' thing. wow! If you catch my drift.

  ** Okay, stick a fork in me ... I'm done.

  [edit: from a g-dless witch - figure that one out. mwah haha]
