Right wing brown nosing extraordinaire!
Nigel Farage to start petition to secure Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize
Right-wing British politician Nigel Farage has said he will start a petition to have Donald Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, saying the award would lose legitimacy in the eyes of millions if the US president had a successful North Korean summit and subsequently did not receive it.
Mr Trump is among those who believes he deserves becoming a recipient of the Norwegian-based prize and has claimed such an opinion is widely shared.

Gavin McInnes: 'Wearing A MAGA Hat Is Like Being Openly Gay In 1950'
Here in New York City, wearing a MAGA hat is like being openly gay in 1950, and Im not exaggerating, McInnes said on Tuesdays episode of his CRTV program. You will get your ass beat, you will not last at a bar in Harlemwe try it all the time and get booted out. Theres many bars that say, You cannot openly be here. If you go into a bar wearing a MAGA hat, people start getting uncomfortable. The bartender will ask you to leave politely and people will yell at you on the street and spit on you.
Youre treating us like pedophiles, he added.

Heh - imagine that
JK Rowling has found the perfect way to troll Trump and his huge signature
The link that Rowling shared to Handwriting Graphology explains that the negative aspects of a large signature are:
Large writing means that we are before an arrogant person, conceited, haughty, who needs to exhibit compliments and recognitions, tyrant tendencies, exhibitionist and phoney personality that may become megalomaniac with lack of a critical sense.

This is appalling
School 'forces LGBT+ students to read the bible' as punishment
A school in rural Oregon has come under intense criticism after it reportedly forced an LGBT+ student to read the Bible because of their sexuality.
The actions of the school, which resides in The North Bend School District, was first reported by The Coos Bay World and then later picked up by The Oregonian.
The accusations came from a letter issued in March to Bill Yester, the school superintendent for the district, which claimed that 'discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation' had occurred.
--------
Yet the letter issued to Bill Yester said the evidence of discrimination against LGBT+ students was 'substantial.'
Student 3 had little choice but to comply with the building administrators established form of punishment.
There is substantial evidence to support the allegation that the district subjected LGBT+ students to separate or different rules of behaviour, sanctions, or other treatment.

WI-Sen: Leah Vukmir (R) Says Tammy Baldwin (D) Is On "Team Terrorist" For Opposing Trump's CIA Pick
Sen. Tammy Baldwin's (D-Wis.) Republican midterm challenger slammed the senator for staying silent on CIA director nominee Gina Haspel's confirmation process on Wednesday, saying in a press release that Baldwin was on "Team Terrorist."
The press release from Republican Senate hopeful Leah Vukmir included a graphic with Vukmir and Haspel, with the caption "Team America," while Baldwin's picture appears alongside a picture of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

McCain Blasts CIA Nominee Gina Haspel: Her Refusal To Acknowledge The Immorality Of Torture Is...
...Disqualifying
Like many Americans, I understand the urgency that drove the decision to resort to so-called enhanced interrogation methods after our country was attacked. I know that those who used enhanced interrogation methods and those who approved them wanted to protect Americans from harm. I appreciate their dilemma and the strain of their duty. But as I have argued many times, the methods we employ to keep our nation safe must be as right and just as the values we aspire to live up to and promote in the world.
I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country and has devoted her professional life to its service and defense. However, Ms. Haspels role in overseeing the use of torture by Americans is disturbing. Her refusal to acknowledge tortures immorality is disqualifying. I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination.
