    If you’re black and support the GOP might as well get used to that term again.

    Walks into a lions den

    lions are in the lions den

    Surprised pikachu

    In all seriousness, I hope this is a wake up call for this trump supporter. They don’t fucking care about anyone but themselves. It’s not a party of progress or change.

    It’s a party about regression toward kings and serfs and Friars

      Serfs. 🙂

      For serious. It’s important to realize that repressive, hateful people will turn on each other.

      Lawsuit absolutely justified, the outcome was completely unforeseeable. Utterly no way to determine the actions of the leopards beforehand as they’ve never been observed before, so we have no pattern of conduct to refer to.

    The lawsuit states that Baxter was getting paid by AFP to canvass neighborhoods and talk to voters. Baxter alleged that he was called a “slave” by his supervisor after complaining about not being properly compensated for the work he was doing.

    “I know you are doing the work and I can see the doors that you are hitting on my iPad on my side. At least you are working as a slave (sarcastically) but at least you are getting paid, many slaves today do get paid, many used to never get paid. Are you a slave?’” the supervisor allegedly said during a call with Baxter.

    In the lawsuit, Baxter also alleges that an AFP member bribed Baxter with $500 to provide “dirt” on Cape Coral councilmember Patty Cummings.

    Are there any headlines with the name Trump in them that aren’t negative? Aside from Fox News and Newsmax of course.

      It’s interesting, isn’t it. They’re obviously supportive of . . . uh, whatever policies trump is supposed to support - let’s say for the sake of argument it’s the standard, lower taxes, strong military, smaller government things. Given that none of those are particularly helpful for any minority, here’s a guy who probably sees himself as a businessman of some sort - perhaps a “free thinker” to his own mind - and he’s part of the politics for that . . . stuff.

      Then they just come out and disrespect him openly. I can see him suing for that - y’know to make the party better for the next people.

      The fact that it’s almost entirely self-defeating is really only not applicable to millionaires, misogynists, and white collar criminals. There’s still something like half the party voting to have the right to their own bodies being taken away - at least this guy isn’t doing that.

        “I drink the sewage from this water so those who follow won’t have to.”

        “Ever considered just going to where the water’s clean and drinking that instead?”

            And yet…. “If I close my eyes and hold my nose, I can almost pretend the sewage chunks are cottage cheese. This is fine! It’s fine.”

    The lower classes are all slaves in one way or another. We’re not invited to the party. This is just pinning the name on obvious racism and being used for votes.
