National Lynching Museum to be built in Montgomery, Alabama: http://www.eji.org/news/eji-announces-plans-to-build-museum-and-national-lynching-memorial I am glad it will be in Montgomery, Alabama so those that oppose equal justice for all will have to look at it everyday. And for people to never forget the atrocities that were committed in the South.
Is this really the first one around there?
hey_kittay:
It would be nice to have a museum for Native American Indians as well somewhere in the USA.
There's one in Washington, DC and one in New York. I'm sure there are others somewhere.

Wow, Trump supporters are really angry about Paul basically endorsing Clinton yesterday. Seriously, who did they think he was supporting in this election? It's not something I usually think about, and I know I shouldn't be surprised, but every four years I'm reminded of how many super conservative Beatles and McCartney fans there actually are in the US.

Exactly!!! And, they love Beatles and Paul music because it sounds pleasing to them only. Heard one of them say once that, "They don't really pay attention to the lyrics!" With their self oriented survivalist attitudes and overly zealous home team approach to the rest of the human race... Who did they think that he would support?
-
This has happened before. Paul played Neil Young's Bridge School benefit in October 2004, right before that year's presidential election. As he concluded "Let It Be," he said, "And let it be Kerry!" A handful of people -- not many, but enough to be heard -- booed loudly. But seriously, how could anyone think they guy who wrote "Blackbird" and "Ebony and Ivory" would endorse Trump? That requires a special level of self-delusion. Of course, delusion is the legal tender of TrumpWorld.

Abe Laborial posted this on Twitter I think...Donald Trump disagreeing with every position by Trump! At first it's hilarious and when it sets in, then it's just insane. Posting it on all my pro Trump high school aquaintences pages to see what they have to say... http://boingboing.net/2016/08/08/trump-disagrees-with-every-pos.html
This is really all Clinton needs to show in her commercials. The fact that it wouldn't make any difference shows what a great job the Republicans have done convincing people that she's not trustworthy. If the Democrats had nominated any middle aged white man, he would be ahead in the polls by 90%.
Really agree with you here!

Donald Trump quadrupled the rent Trump Tower charges his campaign once campaign donors began paying the campaign's expenses. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-campaign-rent_us_57bba424e4b03d51368a82b9 At what point do this scam artist's followers realize they're being taken for a ride?

They just need to be made aware. This kind of info is suppressed, as they often only get to listen more to hear say, and to right wing a.m. radio talk shows who support his lies and delusions. The good republicans are aware of his true character and are supporting Hillary. Many republicans I've seen are actually more democratic minded, but give in to peer pressure by the over bearing people around them.

Trump is supposed to be in Mexico speaking to Mexico's President today. Quick! Build the wall...and cancel his passport!
-
^ Was thinking he might be vey brave or very naive. He's going down to Mexico, to discuss what do they want him to do with all the Mexicans he plans on exporting... The reason I thought he might be brave or naive, is he's going into a country where he hates the people, wants to find them up here in the US, and dump them off there, in Mexico. He wants to build a huge wall to block Mexicans from coming back. What kind of "welcome" party is he expecting to meet him, when he's there!?! It might not be the Wallcome party he was expecting!!!

^ Pesos to the police, la policia... make all of the above null and void Am flabbergasted at the number of people who are falling for Donny's bait and switch show and Fox TVs misrepresentations. Am not surprised at the number of prominent Republicans, including the Bush family, who will be voting for a Democrat for the first time ever! And are telling/warning others to do the same.

In an article by John Dean, who was trying to get The facts out. He is very dismayed at the witch hunt against Hillary and wanted to clear things up.. In the 62,000 emails in question there were 3 found to have confidential information. They were not properly labeled as confidential, missing the normal header and footer notification of a proper confidential document. In the header and footer is noted who declared the information as confidential. He wrote the article to oust the smear campaign. https://verdict.justia.com/2016/08/19/outrageously-false-charges-perjury-hillary-clinton
Endless efforts by congressional Republicans to foil or foul up Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency have hit a new low. The members of Congress involved cannot be sued for defamation, since they are protected by the "Speech and Debate Clause" of the Constitution, but the fact that they are not merely smearing the former secretary of state but are trying to send her to jail on phony charges of perjury and lying to Congress is beyond the pale of dirty politics. It is an abuse of power and their effort to criminalize politics could one-day blowback on them and result in their going to jail on bogus charges. They are employing a tactic that could undermine democracy, so it is appropriate to get the facts out. Unfortunately, to explain these seamy tactics takes a bit more space than the normal column, but the facts need to be placed on the record. Without understanding the underlying testimony involved it is not possible to appreciate the falsity and absurdity of the charges against Mrs. Clinton. It is easy to call someone a liar or a perjurer. Not so easy to unpack the charges. A smear like this--and Hillary has had a career of them--takes space to address and debunk, which is why it probably has not been done. I really undertook this drill for myself because I wanted to see what was going on. I believe Hillary Clinton is far too savvy and smart to lie to Congress. And as the following information shows, I am correct and she has not done so.

Warren Buffet challenged Trump when Hillary spoke at North High in Omaha, to meet him anywhere, before election, in private, to discuss their taxes. He sheds light on how many times Trump has gone bankrupt and stiffed his employees in the process. You can see the highly misled and deluded Trump nuts posting below the video.

Andy_Shofar:
Hackers of DNC and their fundraising arm were Russian says U.S. officials. Read all about it ... https://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-clinton-campaign-hacked-attacks-democrats-sources-205126731.html
Smokescreen. Pay no attention to what the hacks revealed -- that the DNC and media plotted against the Bernie Sanders campaign in order to install the Clinton candidate. Worry about the big bad Russian boogeyman. If Hillary and her party are so "qualified" to keep us safe and all their other claims of competency, then why were they stupid enough to operate poorly secured or personal computer systems? Now instead of having someone who the polls showed as a stronger opponent to Trump, we have someone who is equally disliked and distrusted as Trump. Smart. And now the progressive wing of the party that they shafted are expected to come on board and ignore this betrayal and support their lesser evil? If Trump wins, the DNC has themselves to blame. Perhaps they should have considered the lesser evil during the primary. But instead they considered the money backers, as usual.

The good news is that this doesn't seem to be about her gender. They're simply following the old pattern of 1) invent a scandal, 2) investigate the person you're trying to destroy yourself, 3) find nothing with which to destroy, 4) invent a new scandal. This will be repeated a few times in the next few months. Or years if she's elected.

Meanwhile back on the Native American Indian reservation in North Dakota, our first "minority" President Obama allows the filthy Pipeline to continue. Goes to show what the Obama Administration thinks of the Native American Indian population. I don't see widespread coverage of this slow continued genocide on the news. The photos remind me of the Civil Rights Marches in the 1960's with the dogs and other inhumane treatment of minorities. We have SYRIA right here in America! This is unbelievable to be happening in our own backyard and no one is helping them. http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/09/tempers-flare-during-protest-against-the-dakota-access-pipeline/498809/ Jill Stein vandalizes construction equipment.
