FU@# You Jenner

Republican Caitlyn Jenner Calls Trump’s Attack On LGBTQ Rights A ‘Disaster’

Outspoken transgender Republican Caitlyn Jenner ripped into Donald Trump’s recent move to ax protections for transgender Americans in a Twitter video on Thursday, calling the president’s decision a “disaster” and urging Trump to give her a call.

“From one Republican to another, this is a disaster,” said Jenner. “You can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.”

Screw you and any one else in the LGBT community that voted for Hair Douchengroper

Pretty Much! Ya Think?!

Fox Business' Gasparino: Milo Ousted Because He's Breitbart's 'Albatross'

... but explained that Breitbart isn't making any money, (they get funding from billionaires like Mercer) and so they ousted Milo, not because of his inappropriate and disgusting discussion about underage sex, but because of their bottom line.

Gasparino explained, "Let me be clear what's going on here. This is a business decision by Breitbart."

"The publication has become a little bit of a caricature with itself. It's become so right-wing and it's become so dominated by Trumpism and the alleged support by Trump that they can't make money right now," he said.

Gasparino tried to dispel the notion that Milo went too far even for conservatives since he's a provocateur and he said. "He was ousted. He was resigned under pressure. They didn't want him there essentially because he would be a business albatross if he stayed."

****************
Yep. Pretty much. They don't really care what he says/said. The man was an f-ing jerk who said ridiculously outrageous and caustic things. So, why be surprised?
It's all about money.
Kind of like people waiting for impeachment proceedings to start. As long as Hair Douchengroper is at 81% popularity among refucklicans they're not going to do squat about him. In fact, he is a nice distraction while they disembowel the country

Onion: Trump Staffer Grateful To Work With So Many People He Could Turn Over To FBI In Exchange For

Trump Staffer Grateful To Work With So Many People He Could Turn Over To FBI In Exchange For Immunity

WASHINGTON—Fully mindful of the privilege he enjoyed, Trump administration staffer Greg Potreski told reporters Friday that he was grateful to be working with so many individuals he could turn over to the FBI in exchange for immunity. “It’s such an honor to be surrounded by almost countless people who, if it ever came down to it, I could hand over to the authorities in order to escape prosecution,” said Potreski, adding that he never imagined he’d find himself in a workplace that was staffed wall-to-wall with professionals whose comparatively more serious crimes he could expose to save himself. “I’ve held positions in government before, but I’ve never had an experience like this—there’s an opportunity for me to do no jail time in every single office. I learn so much just by talking to these folks.” When asked by reporters, Potreski’s colleagues said they were equally grateful to have someone like him at work.

Trump is proving a point I made a year ago

Someone told me we needed somebody to shake up Washington
I said, "You know what shakes things up right? Earthquakes shake things up. Volcanoes shake things up. And it always ends badly for the people nearest them."

SNL needs to bring back Jon Lovitz to do Stephen Miller

But as Tommy Flanagan
We'll learn it was Morgan Fairchild. That's the ticket

Yeah, Lovitz is a douche. But, there's little separation between Flanagan and Miller, except Flanagan is fictional and a better quality human

Oh Come On! Even NostraDUMBASS could have predicted this

Said my republican friend at a dinner to another republican we know who is just aghast and unhappy with trump and can't understand how this could be happening

For those who read my post last October, this Republican friend who said it was the one from Nevada who was trying to decide who to vote for because he was certain Trump was a loser. When I asked him to give me 3 reasons to vote for Clinton and 3 for Trump he couldn't come up with one for trump. He voted all Democrats in 2016

My discussion with a Voter Fraud Trumpazi

He believes Hair Douchebag's lie about voter fraud in NH
My answer was short and to the point
"So, thousands of people poured across the border from Massachusetts to vote for Clinton and Hassan, yet then turned around and voted for Chris Sununu for governor, gave Republicans 13 of 23 seats and control of the NH State Senate, gave the Republicans control of the NH state house and 3/5 of the Executive council. Pretty wily those Massachusetts vote frauders."

And She is Failing Quite Miserably

According to Trump's twit (i mean... Tweet)
"My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by@nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing."

On that... Ivanka is failing quite miserably

Cal nixes Kansas series talks over LGBT law

Cal has ended talks with the Kansas Jayhawks about a potential future home-and-home series because of an anti-discrimination law passed in California in 2015, according to a report.

According to the Lawrence World-Journal, the law, which took effect Jan. 1, does not allow public colleges or universities to visit teams in other states that have laws that allow discrimination against the LGBT community. Kansas has a "religious freedom" law that allows student groups to be discriminatory in their membership practices based on those groups' beliefs, the World-Journal reported.

snip

Kansas isn't the only state affected by the new law. According to multiple reports, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has said that Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee also have laws that are deemed discriminatory and therefore would be on the list of states that teams from California public universities and colleges would be prohibited from visiting.

Which would preclude UCLA, UC San Diego, San Diego State, San Jose St and Fresno State among others from playing in those states as well
It would not impact USC, Loyola or St Mary's
