BREAKING: President Trump is activating 250 Oklahoma Army National Guard soldiers for his campaign rally in Tulsa on Saturday.

Trump is using America’s military for his own political gain and for intimidation purposes like Hitler did before the holocaust. Republicans are silent.

Either way, it sounds disgusting and it sounds like about as much fun as the 1968 Democratic convention.

14. Well, it would figure that OK's suck-ass governor would do it

Despite the Oklahoma heat, visitors of all races drive up to the site of the destroyed Black community. They take photos of themselves in front of the inscribed memorials to what's now called Black Wall Street.
