Not surprising …
The only thing to consider… is what cavity he pulled this out of ----
And I’m not going there —
So I guess it would make LePage happy if Lewis just said, ‘Yes, Sir. We po’ colored folks jus’ wants to thanks y’all for all the helps you done give us to makes us free. Never would have happened wifout y’all. We jus’ stay in our place now."
Asshole.
Someone should remind Governor LePage that there’s a word that we use today to describe people who have the same political beliefs as 19th Century Republican Presidents.
We call them “Democrats.”
Dear Maine,
Don’t ever vote for spoiler third-party candidates to repeatedly elect nutjob governors like that fatass.
Sincerely,
geo
LePage probably had a looney tunes conversation about his hemorrhoids with his wife last night. Are we going to be treated to that too.
@clunkertruck My thoughts on which cavity.
I am still surprised that this @$$hole didn’t get a high level position in the Trump Administration, he fits right in.
I waited for the initial storm of cuss words to die down in my mind and then realized that this fat, accidental, vastly unpopular and deeply stupid loutish subhuman looks at Trump and says “Gee, there’s just something about that guy I like.” 
You ought to thank Eliot Cutler for getting your incompetent, deranged ass elected twice. And the people of the other states of New England ought to thank you for making them look better.
This is a can of worms you really don’t want to open, guy.
Maybe he’s on tap for EEOC? That is, if David Duke turns down the post.
Lincoln: That is correct; I fought slavery only so that Fat White Pigs/Racists like the Maine Governor can take the credit for it.
And yes I remember now why had stopped buying from LL Bean… Maine elected this guy twice!
“Criticizing the president. You know, I will just say this. John Lewis ought to look at history,” he continued. “It was Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. It was Rutherford B. Hayes and Ulysses S. Grant that fought against Jim Crow laws. A simple ‘thank you’ would suffice.”
They’re all dead. I’m sure that when Trump is dead, Lewis will thank him, too.
LePage: Four weeks and seven hours ago, D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty brought forth in Maine new life, conceived all up in our white girls.
Office of the Chief of Protocol. In keeping with the general tenor of the executive branch appointments so far.
Hayes effectively ratified Jim Crow (although it came to fruition later) by ending Reconstruction and pulling troops out of the South, as part of the deal that got him selected.
This is part of their favorite rewrites of history and always culminates in them claiming that the Republicans are the ones who passed the Civil Rights Act and that “it’s the Democrats who started the KKK.”
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 8–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
Of course, in reality, it was a geographic thing (AND the Dems voted for it more than the GOP)…and we know how those geographic areas have aligned since then.
While Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the first major step towards ending slavery in the United States, and Ulysses S. Grant sided with radical Republicans in Congress to combat white supremacist groups, Jim Crow laws spread across the South during Hayes’ presidency. Those laws stayed in place in large part through the 1960s, when Lewis and others in the Civil Rights Movement were instrumental in combatting many of them.

"and this is why I say ‘Modern Day GOP’.
VOM, indeed
