Deplatforming at its best.

LOL.

Populism is awesome, except when the populace doesn't go along with your check-writing benefactors.

Racism means that one believes 'races' of humans not only exist, but there is genetic/biological supremacy in a particular race. And 'races' can be ranked.
trump, from a German father and Scottish mother, immigrants who couldn't cut it in the old country. I am sure trump believes he is genetically and biologically superior to everyone. That his particular race, whatever that maybe (aryan), is the best. His off-spring don't indicate that. Ivanka seems spoiled and vapid, incredibly superficial. Jr and Eric seem to be on the left side of the Bell Curve and clearly lack depth or any essence of humanity. Tiffany, who was raised by a single mother, though a Georgetown Law student, hasn't displayed anything other than being a rich kid. To her credit, I don't recall her doing anything stupid either.
trump himself has the intellect of a moron. His sister I am told is very smart and a good judge. His uncle John was a very distinguished scientist.

I'm sure he's also a bigot and prejudiced.

Tiffany is Marla Maples' kid
I get the feeling the other Trump kids don't play well with her

 

Worth mentioning that today is Trayvon Martin's birthday.

He'd have been 24 years old.

$64,000,000 for trump to go to Florida
The Government Accountability Office gathered that information. On Tuesday, it released a report looking only at Trump’s first four trips to Mar-a-Lago as president: on Feb. 3-6; Feb. 10-12; Feb. 17-20; and March 3-5, 2017.

The total? Just under $14 million, for an average cost of $3.4 million per trip. That includes about $8.5 million spent by the Defense Department and $5 million by the Department of Homeland Security. It also includes about $60,000 paid directly to Mar-a-Lago itself, $24,000 of which was for lodging for Defense Department personnel and $36,000 for operational space used by DHS.

The immediate question, of course, is how those costs extrapolate to all of Trump’s visits. This invariably leads to some apples-oranges problems, but we can make some reasonable estimates.

We know, from having tracked his trips over time, that Trump has visited Mar-a-Lago on 19 occasions as president, spanning 51 nights.
