For Reals Donald?

The Open 2021: Donald Trump makes his latest case for an Open return to Turnberry

The Open has not returned to Turnberry since Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson in a playoff there in 2009. A return isn't expected anytime soon, either. The R&A has named Open venues through 2024, and Turnberry—purchased by Donald Trump in 2014—is not on that list.

The R&A has reiterated its plans not to return to Turnberry—saying in a statement six days after the U.S. Capitol was stormed that it wouldn’t return for “the foreseeable future” until the ruling body “is convinced that the focus will be on the championship, the players and the course itself and we do not believe that is achievable in the current circumstances.”

Trump doubled down on his stance that Turnberry—ranked 11th on Golf Digest’s most recent world rankings—should be awarded another Open Championship, releasing a statement on Saturday during the third round at Royal St. George’s.

Here’s the statement:

In Wallet of Man Who Plotted to Blow Up Dem Headquarters: "White Privilege Card - Trumps Everything"

Napa Man With 'White Privilege Card' and Accomplice Charged With Plotting to Blow Up Democratic Headquarters

There is a lot going on in this indictment of 2 Trump supporters who plotted to blow up a Democratic party office and amassed an arsenal of pipe bombs+machine guns.

Text from indictment... "Law enforcement officers searched ROGERS’s home and business on January 15, 2021 and seized between 45 and 50 firearms, including at least three fully-automatic weapons, 1000s of rounds of ammunition, and five pipe bombs. Officers arrested ROGERS that day

But this image of the actual card he had in his wallet really does capture so much...

"N.J. woman must remove anti-Biden F-bomb signs or face $250-a-day fines, judge rules"



A municipal judge on Thursday ruled that a Roselle Park homeowner’s owner’s anti- President Biden flags including the F-bomb on her fence were obscene and must be removed because they violated a borough ordinance.

Roselle Park Municipal Court Judge Gary Bundy ordered the Willow Avenue
homeowner to remove the signs with profanity within a week or face a $250-a-day fine. Patricia Dilascio is the property owner but her daughter, Andrea Dick, had the signs, three of which include the F-word, on display."

Facebook's response to "they're killing people" is to point out how many people they haven't killed

YO.. THIS IS ALOTTA A LOT OF BULLSHIT

FACEBOOK: “We will not be distracted by accusations which aren’t supported by the facts. The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet.” "More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine. The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives. Period.”
