Trump’s America - Page 172 - Politics and Economics

Kirkpatrick challenged him to five debates across the district.[9][10] Gosar initially agreed to one debate but later withdrew. Gosar released a statement explaining the decision to withdraw from the debate was based on the long drive to and from KAET in Phoenix, which organized the debate.[11] A producer at KAET said Gosar's staff told the station the candidate could not participate in the debate because he would be attending a fundraiser instead.[12]

Quote:

Following changes made in redistricting, Gosar was going to seek re-election in the 1st district, which was made less favorable to Republicans.[13] However, with Kirkpatrick priming for a rematch, Gosar changed his mind and announced in January 2012 he would run in the newly created 4th district, which is heavily Republican. As part of the move, he bought a second home in Prescott, which he claimed as his official residence.[14]

Quote:

Gosar wrote that he would treat the Pope the same way he believes "leftist politicians" should be treated, and fearing the possibility the pope would discuss climate change, he said "I will not attend."[23]

My other favorite part is where Gosar is so deplorable his own family denounces him publicly.

Quote:

In October 2017, Gosar promoted the conspiracy theory that the violent march of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, that occurred earlier that year was a left-wing plot to stoke racial discord and to undermine President Donald Trump.[28] Gosar's statements echoed debunked claims that were circulating among the far right and promoted by conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones of Infowars.[28] Gosar further believes the Charlottesville rally may have been funded by George Soros, who Gosar said "turned in his own people to the Nazis."[29] Soros was 14 in 1944 and escaped Vienna with the help of his parents. Seven of Gosar's own siblings wrote an open letter to the Kingman (Arizona) Daily Miner newspaper denouncing Gosar's claims about Soros as "despicable slander...without a shred of truth", saying the congressman "owes George Soros a personal apology."[30]

Similar to how the guy that won't leave his house without carrying a loaded gun (or several), keeps his wallet on a chain, and ****s his pants at the sight of a brown person in the wild, somehow thinks everybody else is the pussy.

New winner in my hood. All on the back of his pickup truck:

- Xenophobe Army
- Protect Our Borders
- Ignore Fake News
- Bill of Rights: Thank White Men

And some others I can't remember, plus some skulls and other cool stuff (if you're like 10 years old). Didn't have my phone so I couldn't get a picture this time.

In a strange land: Deported from Michigan, Jorge Garcia feels lost in Mexico

"I feel like I'm lost," Garcia says, his eyes taking in the valley and hills of the city of Nicolás Romero on a Friday morning in January. "I don't fit in here, at all.”

Two weeks earlier, Garcia was deported from Michigan to Mexico after living in the U.S. for 30 years, forced to leave behind his family, friends, and a solid job in landscaping. Now, the married father of two finds himself alone in an unfamiliar country, with an uncertain future.

...

He was only 10 years old when an aunt brought him to the U.S. without authorization. Now 39, he had lived his entire adult life in the U.S. before his removal.

So that's what "taking back our country" looks like.

Villarman was on the phone with his sister when the suspect apparently overheard his conversation talking about his boyfriend.

GOP caucus turnout was lowest ever measured. Here are 4 theories why.

The Republican turnout for Tuesday night’s precinct caucuses in Minnesota was the lowest it’s been since at least 2002, the farthest back for which numbers were available.

Just fewer than 11,000 people attended the GOP gatherings, compared with 14,000 in 2014 and nearly 20,000 in 2010, the last time there was an open seat in the governor’s office, according to figures the party has reported to the state.

“Horrifically low” is how former state lawmaker Marty Seifert described turnout in his caucus location in Marshall in southwest Minnesota. Seifert is a former state lawmaker who twice won the precinct caucus straw poll for governor, an informal ballot of the party faithful that’s taken each year the governor’s seat is on the ballot.

Tuesday’s GOP turnout compares with about 30,000 people who participated Tuesday in Democratic-Farmer Labor precinct caucuses.

It's no Huntington Beach, but North Hollywood is a better place to be a vocal racist asshat than most of LA - or like regular Hollywood.

I used to live walking distance from that station. It's fairly gritty and very diverse. It doesn't shock me someone punched the guy.

Meh. Have you been to that NoHo Arts District which is right next to the station? The grittiness is on the way out.
