48017699.cached.jpg — Trumpkins are NOT having a good week.

Baoky Vu is a naturalized U.S. citizen and longtime GOP activist in Georgia who is responsible for casting one of Georgia’s 16 electoral college vote if Trump takes the state.

From the article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

Vu has just put out a statement saying that he cannot bring himself to vote for Trump in the November general election. And he might not vote for Trump as a member of the electoral college, either.

Georgia is one of 21 states that do not require its members of the electoral college to adhere to the results of the popular vote in their state. “I have the right to vote for a write-in candidate in the electoral college,” Vu said.

It looks like for Mr. Vu, Trumps attack on the Khan’s was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Vu said he has never been “on board” with Trump, but the Republican presidential candidate’s feud with a Muslim family who lost their soldier-son in Iraq was the final straw. Vu harkened back to his family’s decision to flee communist rule in Vientam.

Drip….Drip...Drip…..

Meanwhile, over at Team Hillary…

I’ll just be over here, campaigning like a sane human being.

Calling a popular California Senator a b*tch right before their primary won't help your candidate.

What the f**k are Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina doing?

Unless there is some serious brokering about to happen, Sen. Ted Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from becoming the Republican presidential nominee. He’s not the nominee. In fact, he’s not even close. Yet, today, he announces that Carly Fiorina will be his running mate.

How the f**k can Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina be running mates?

Are they maybe running a 5K? I can see Carly pulling this one off, but I don’t see Ted running anywhere unless the collective guilt and regret from all of his life choices is chasing him.

Going to cross that one off the list.
Oh, I know! Fiorina sang today.

Yes. That actually happened. Maybe they’re running a SHOW together. Maybe they’re doing a horrible, brain bleeding version of ‘Ted Cruz Superstar’ in which Carly sings about not knowing how to love him. Don’t worry Carly, no one knows because no one does. Except maybe his wife. Maybe.

My point is that no one is falling for the Hail Mary that Ted and Carly pulled today. We all know it’s nothing but a desperate stunt to get Trump bumped off the media cycle for say, oh, four hours or so, (Not that we fault him for that. I mean, if he weren’t even worse than him we’d be thanking Ted, but whatever...)

Anyway, I’m going to go with my final guess that they both just decided to run off the proverbial political cliff together where they will fall into a frothy sea of irrelevance surviving solely on arrogance and denialism.

I can cheer for that.

But By Our Institutions, Great Is Our Sin.

Like many of you, I’ve been thinking about the recent deaths at the hands of law enforcement officers in Missouri, New York, and Ohio quite a bit, mostly looking back at my own interactions with the police (almost entirely positive) and those of my darker, but still very educated and relatively well-off siblings (again, overwhelmingly positive) after a friend commented that she was ‘worried over her older brother’ who lived and worked in a relatively poor area in St. Louis.

So I asked myself, “Would I be worried if my older brother Darryl (who likes to wear his ‘Homie Don’t Play That’ t-shirt and jeans) got pulled over by police?" "Why am I not feeling that same sense of dread my girlfriend is feeling about her brother?”

First, let me say that I have people that I love and care about who are officers of the law. I know it is sometimes a thankless and underpaid job, but there are those who abuse their power and forget that the most important part of what they are paid to do is to protect and serve their fellow citizens.

I believe this to be one of those cases. I don't know why she was treated this way, but I know she shouldn't have been. Has she been in trouble in the past? I have no idea, but I don't think that would matter in this particular instance even if she had.

And that was on February 26th. He has yet to be arrested.

Let me paint a picture for you - A 17 year old 140 pound unarmed black CHILD is gunned down like a dog while walking by a man who is IN HIS CAR. This means he had to get out of his car, confront the kid, and then shoot him. And the person who shot him hasn't yet been arrested.

Why?

Disclaimer: My feelings about this movement have pretty much grown at the pace of this guy. I was a skeptic - now moved into the cautiously optimistic category. But this is the single best analogy to the Occupy Wall Street Movement I've ever heard. It hit the nail right on the head for a lot of folks sitting on the fence. It's clear, inspiring, and it doesn't sugar coat anything either.

Also, I have a massive crush on Jay Smooth, so there's that.

Although it certainly isn’t the only thing to come into play, it is ultimately our culture that shapes most of our beliefs. We all grow up with rules that never really have to be explained, things in our life that we learn at some point to be unchallengeable, unquestionable, and we get these from the continuous input we are surrounded by on a daily basis. This culture is made by those in power, those who find themselves in positions of leadership. Cultural leaders can be found in the local middle school (see Kooky Pens and other fads) and on podiums in from of grassroots activists. They can be teachers, or news anchors, or anyone that has a noticeable amount of pull within their respective communities.

Just an entertaining diary documenting my pal’s Minnesota Rally with whom we have dubbed the ‘Tea Tarts’. Hope it brings a little laughter to your day!

EDIT: SuperSonic Dog just figured out (because I misread the article) that this Judge is still an active Judge. Yikes. **saves emails**

Haven't been on here in a while, and I almost hate to come on here with such an inflammatory and frankly, not very important diary considering the things going on in the world. Sorry about that.

See, about a year or so ago I started getting tons of emails for Dave Williford. My response? I replied kindly that I wasn't the person the email was intended, namely because my name isn't Dave and I'm not a dude, and also because it's the polite thing to do.

But still, they come every now and then. I reply again. They keep coming. Whatever. No biggie.

Now, I take it that poor Dave is probably a person who is conservative or who has a lot of family members who are conservative or whatnot because I get a lot of the "Stop Obamacare" type crap, and whatever, I still reply that it isn't Dave and I keep my opinions to myself since the email wasn't intended for me in the first place. Free country and all that.

Whereas July 27, 2009, marks the 2,289,650th Anniversary of Michele ‘Wackadoodle’ Bachmann making an ass out of herself by even momentarily considering an attempt to block the signing of a resolution celebrating the admittance of Hawaii into the Union in compliance with the Hawaii Admission Act, enacted by the United States Congress on March 18, 1959 because it stated that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and she is uncomfortable with these tricky ‘fact’ like thingys;
