Buffalo Board Of Education Demands Trump Advisor/Co-chair of Trump's campaign Carl Paladino's Resignation After His Racist Anti-Obama Rant
On December 23rd, a local alt weekly called Artvoice published a questionnaire that had been sent to prominent local figures, including Paladino, asking what they'd like to see happen in the new year and what they'd like to see go away. Paladino's answers weren't just political—they were also incredibly racist and sexist towards the current President and First Lady. He wrote:
1. Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford. He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her. 2. Michelle Obama. I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.

Stephen King Just Nailed The BIG Difference Between Trump and Obama
If there’s one thing clear about incoming president-elect Donald Trump, it’s that he is entirely devoid of a sense of humor. Unable to take a joke or the pettiest of jabs without responding in a furious and disparaging tweetstorm, one only has to look at his public feuds with Saturday Night Live, or with the Late Show’s David Letterman, or comedian Jerry Seinfeld, or the singer Cher, or Rose O’Donnell, or Martha Stewart...the list goes on and on.
- Trump = Dull Mindutopian
- as much as u seem like a russian meme bot there is truth about a how a person can see things as humorous. but i dont know what both find humorous********
- both might simply laugh at their ability to manipulate ppls emotions by a few words, or at their own ideas of self righteousness********
- Wut?detritus
- Wut? @ me? It's not a sense of humor but what they find humorous and why. I actually think they laugh about the same things from different perspectives********

Why Trump wants couriers to replace email
"It's very important, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way because I'll tell you what, no computer is safe," Trump told reporters Saturday in response to questions about Russia's alleged hacking of Democrats during the presidential election. Trump, who doesn't email or surf the internet, said days earlier that computers "have complicated lives very greatly." - Trump

- utopian please explain what good they have done, and how only that committee can do such a thing? idk what there purpose is and from article seems pointless********

- yeah, that's ethical. What a fucking joke. How can people even say things without an evil snicker, chuckling at how much they are giving it to the public?formed
- And now they decided that they won't. What the fuck?monospaced
- I'd love to hear robo explain the benefits of keeping said committee in place now.monospaced
- @formed my bad. I missed the difference between the OCE and the HEC. I'm not sure I see value in either except to the politicians involved with them.********
- be transparent and let voter decide on ethics and make sure an avenue of prosecution for any illegal activities********
- "be transparent" = having independent committees like this duh. Anyway - they have abandoned the plans due to uproar.fadein11
- transparent doesn't mean independent committees. independent committees means less transparency. not even sure how u could mess that up********

Donald Trump complains CNN ‘used worst cover photo of me’ for election book
- What a whining narcissistic lil' bitch!utopian
- We had "hope" for Obama but never realized he would turn out to be nominated for one of the worst Presidents ever.robotron3k
- So CNN chose the *only* picture that makes him look like a bloated, orange, pissbag taking a shit?face_melter
- Also, never noticed Obama complaining about pictures of himself because, y'know, he had other things that took his attention. Like running a fucking country.face_melter
- Obama wasn't and isn't nominated one of the worst presidents ever, though. That's just your opinion, which is shared by so many like you.monospaced

I'm so glad other people are noticing how Obama is incompetent like Hillary. Congress is likely going to defund US 8 billion dollar yearly payments and leave the UN because of this... You guys are wondering why I keep mentioning Obomba, it's because he's furiously trying to pass laws to stay another term and he's not done yet. Jan 15 a dozen or so countries are going to try and decide the fate of Israel - Palestine BUT without the countries present. Jeez, this guy is one hot mess...
Even as the waning days of the Obama regime are upon us, the spectacular level of its incompetence remains consistent. The Republican Party should jump for joy and always remember the truism, “Never complain about incompetent opposition. They could get better.”
The latest Obama bungle was the resolution at the United Nations condemning Israel for existing. Supposedly, all the Obama regime did was abstain when the vote came up in the U.N. Security Council. The United States, as a permanent member of the Security Council, could have vetoed the resolution.
The Obama regime, used to its own level of incompetence, seems to have forgotten that there are people and nations in this world that are competent.http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…

- the "journalist" is a tea party supporter AKA asshole https://twitter.com/…lowimpakt

- statistically, Obama did a pretty damn good job considering what was handed to him. perfect? no. OMG MOST INCOMPETENT PRES EVER? no.inteliboy
- I'd say he was just too diplomatic, soft and centrist --- the right fight so hard, the left just buckle under their weak knees. It's embarrassing.inteliboy
- I didn't say most he's just one of the worst. Lot's of things went wrong on his watch, he even destroyed the Dem party.robotron3k
- He did some things but his amount of failures are hard to list, NSA, Benghazi, Libya, Iran, Fast & Furious, racial divide, unemployed, so many...robotron3k
- The resolution had nothing to do with Israel existing or not. It was to condemn illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Even the Israeli governmentyuekit
- views them as illegal under its own laws although does nothing to stop them.yuekit
- Only in America would criticizing Israel for illegal acts be considered controversial. And not even criticizing in this case...just refusing to veto theyuekit
