More like "lol Alabama" than "Trump's America" but why not here: Alabama drive-in won't show new Beauty and the Beast movie because of its "gay moment"

Love this quote in particular:

Quote:

The theater’s operators reportedly also said they would not feel comfortable taking their grandchildren, ages 11 and 8, to see a movie if it included a gay character.

"Maybe if we just shield them from knowing gay people even exist everything will be fine"

Our southern states sure are something ... also from Alabama:

Quote:

Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Vestavia Hills is trying to establish its own police force.

The move requires approval from state lawmakers. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Arnold Mooney (R-Shelby County) cleared its first major hurdle Wednesday. The House Public Safety Committee gave its OK.

Briarwood Presbyterian Church calls this a way to create a safer campus in a fallen world.

Some lawmakers argue allowing a private church to have its own police force could begin a slippery slope.

“What do we do when other church affiliates come and ask for the same thing?” questioned Rep. Mary Moore (D-Birmingham). “They're not a college. They're a church and they're a church asking for police jurisdiction.”

Quote:

TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma lawmaker who once likened Islam to cancer required Muslims to answer several written questions — including, “Do you beat your wife?” — before agreeing to meet with them.

Republican state Rep. John Bennett’s office distributed the questionnaire on Thursday as the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations organized its annual Muslim Day at the Capitol. The lawmaker’s office gave the list of questions to three Islamic school students who came to his office and asked to speak with him.

“(The prophet) Mohammed was a killer of pagans, Christians and Jews that did not agree with him,” read one of 18 questions on the form. “Do you agree with his example?”

I didn't know Christians were so concerned with Pagans. Under Constantine's unification of Christianity, Christians were slaughtering Pagans and co-opting their holidays. I wonder if he poses these same questionnaires to Christians who wish to speak to him?

ANN ARBOR, MI - Washtenaw County Public Health has issued an alert, indicating it received reports of one or more people entering local ethnic restaurants and "taking names of staff."

It's unclear who was doing it or why they were doing, but at least three restaurants in Ann Arbor were reportedly targeted, according to the county.

Quote:

"We have a long and strong partnership with the restaurant community and want to be clear that we are partners in food safety," she said.

The email Schweighoefer circulated encourages restaurants to contact the health department directly with any questions or concerns.

Attached to the email is a one-page letter about how the department conducts inspections. It also makes clear the county health department is not interested in anyone's immigration or citizenship status.

"There has been significant discussion regarding immigrants in our community and nationally," Schweighoefer wrote in the letter.

Getting the names of everyone who works in an "ethnic" restaurant in Ann Arbor? Yeah, that'll keep 'em busy for a while.

Patrons Walk Out As Ala. Official Pushes Voter ID At Selma Anniversary Service
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...ampaign=buffer

Quote:

After Alabama’s Secretary of State John Merrill promoted the state's voter ID law at a church service held Sunday to commemorate the anniversary of a civil rights milestone in Selma, patrons walked out.

The service at Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Alabama was held to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march that erupted in police violence on Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, according to a video posted to Rev. William Barber's Facebook page.

Barber, who is president of the North Carolina NAACP, and church patrons walked out after Merrill spoke in support of Alabama's voter ID law, according to the video's caption.

"We can't be polite about this. We can't be casual or cavalier," Barber told a reporter. "We have more voter suppression in recent years than we've seen since Jim Crow."

He said that Merrill's promotion of the voter ID law was "another lie."

"I don't care if you came as secretary of state, to stand up and tell another lie, to push the lie of voter ID and confuse people, normalize it, on a day when the nation is watching," Barber said. "You cannot come and stand in that pulpit and promote a voter suppression tactic and then we just sit there."

He said that "democracy is at stake."

"You cannot have a democracy where voter suppression is normalized, where people will politely let people say to them what they're doing, in their face and in their church, and it's okay," Barber said. "To respect injustice is to be a part of it."

"If you undermine voting," he added, "everything else falls apart."

In October 2015, Merrill insisted that the closure of 31 driver's license offices — many in majority black counties — would not prevent residents from obtaining the government-issued photo ID required to vote in Alabama.

Before the 2016 election, he went on to blast automatic voter registration, saying that it would "cheapen" the work of civil rights leaders.

"If you’re too sorry or lazy to get up off of your rear and to go register to vote, or to register electronically, and then to go vote, then you don’t deserve that privilege," Merrill said.

He then lashed out at criticism of Alabama's registration process and threatened to prosecute a filmmaker who described registering to vote in the state as "complex and complicated."

Something that hasn't really been reported on but I am 100% sure is that happening is all those "no-criminal-record-father-of-three" stories about getting deported?

I guarantee many of them is someone with a vendetta dropping a dime. Any time you have any sort of romantic rivalry or business issue or problem with someone playing their music too loudly(cough), America's very large population of *******s now knows they have a literal Trump card to play if the person they don't like is undocumented.

Yeah those damn immigrants are crowding out all the angry Trump fans who don't have enough gumption to get an education or move to where the jobs are.

Black people: Quit whining and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

Down and out whites: We feel your pain. Here's a bunch of empty promises and immigration bans which won't affect you in any way ever.
