    Fiscal responsibility!

    The county GOP organization raised $58,335 at an event that cost them more than $64,000. The spent $24,487 at Trump National and paid Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld $30,000 to speak.

    It’s a kleptocracy. Trump’s just stealing from the government and contributors. All the campaign contributions are going to him. The merchandise revenue is going to him. He’s stealing from and through the Secret Service. Every time he’s goes to Florida he get paid.

    Okay. But you have to answer mine, too. (Well, you don't have to, but I really am wanting a good discussion here. I'm learning.) I'm reading the above as though you and your wife have tried your damnedest to help your children believe they will be successful by all traditional markers: educated, employed, happy family. Is that racist? I don't know if this is a trick question, but I don't think so. Or maybe you're saying you've always wanted them to do these things in the order you have specified: school, job, married, kids. I don't think that makes you racist. It does make you very traditional.

    I do wonder about your "and/or," which for me is an essential part of the clarifying discussion. I can't imagine a white racist who isn't also a white supremacist. (Obviously every supremacist is a racist.) Aren't they basically interchangeable? If you don't like a certain race for something, doesn't it necessarily mean that you think your race is better at least in that respect? But then I wonder how you draw the distinction between someone who is, say, casually racist—"probably an Asian driver" racist—and a neo-Nazi. Some people are obviously MORE racist than others. But I think if you're racist at all, you also probably believe that your race is better—and so, supreme.

    He stole that idea from Tony Soprano and Assemblyman Ron Zellman.

    Just finished third in a $1.50 Sit n' Go. Ad-10d on a 2d-3d-3c board. Push all in. Called by 6h-6s. So any A, any 10, any diamond, and I'm good.

    I am no good. But made 82 cents for bronze.

    If you keep going this route, I’m going to start posting my daily horse racing bets.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but if you don’t see my “and/or” as the quintessence of white supremacy ... you’re probably a white supremacist, too.
