What gloriously ignorant, bigoted people! Congrats, GOP- this is YOUR ugly face, NOT the face of America!

Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.

And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

You Got To Run!

Smiling - they just counted the thousands they’ll get from the tax cut they just gave to themselves and to the robber barons.

What an amazing society we have become…giving over $ 800 Billion in tax cuts to our 15 largest corporations (monopolies) while cutting healthcare to children from broken homes or homes where the parents can’t make ends meet. Billionaires need tax cuts…while poverty deprived children lose healthcare. Must be those good christian values. My question: what bible are Republicans using these days? God help them.

Trump Jr. on Sunday posted photographs of himself and Cruz at the
restaurant with a dessert resembling a cookie cake that featured a vague
depiction of former President Barack Obama.
…
Two can play this game donnie jr…

I have a “vague” depiction of certain person I will now share with a dollop of schadenfreude…

The person who brought it really went all out - a cookie cake from the mall. What’s up with the face Jr.'s making? The camera is not your friend, honey.

You know you’re popular when a photo of you taken at an eatery is posted on-line and the restaurateur has to apologize. For someone in the hospitality industry it’s akin to being shot in the face by a Vice President.

I know they’re too stupid to understand it, but this isn’t so much a dig at Obama as much as it once again reveals their utter obsession with the man. PP has been in office for nearly a year and even his demented son is still focused on President Obama. It goes to show not only how deep the racism runs, but just the vast amount of real estate he takes up in their heads. It really is terribly pathetic that despite having riches and fame, taking petty shots at people who are basically ignoring them is all they’ve really got.

Remember when presidential offspring behaved like decent adults?
These sons behave like the wretched old man.
The oafishness does not fall far from the tree.
I can’t think of any other presidential child while in office who behaved in a reprehensible manner.
Sure the Bush daughters went to a bar and got tipsey.
Heck even Nixon’s daughters behaved like fine women even as their dad was drunk wandering around the White House and muttering to the presidential portraits.

That’s hilarious, Uday! You too, Zodiac Killer!

What’s that, it hurts your feelings when people prejudge you and even call you demeaning names based on similarity of your physical appearance to well-known criminals? Let me introduce you to my good friend, Karma.

Ted Cruz, standing next to the one person in the world with a more punchable face than him.

What are the chances of that?

(Although to be fair, it also could have been James O´Keefe.)

Yes, I’m not sure Donald appreciates Cruz and Jr. giving his predecessor airtime, could invite comparisons…

Worthless.

Steven Ford tried. He failed. But he tried. So he became an actor.

Yeah, no kidding. And the restauranteur didn’t just offer a simple, “If anyone was offended…” apology. It was full-throated and sincere. I get the impression this guy is genuinely upset this occurred in his establishment.

Yes, “Weasel Boy” has a difficult time with photographs, the entitlement, oafish-ness and insecurity come through loud and clear in virtually every shot, at least he comes by it naturally. Cruz on the other hand…just vacuously scary if not evil banality.

Yep. He even went so far to point out that he wasn’t working that day, so great was the taint. He also pointed out that his restaurant didn’t bake the cake.

Reading his apology I was left with the impression that his “regular customer” may want to consider other venues for his next party.
