What chance does Mayor Pete have of being picked up as VP?

I know it’s still early and no, I’m not giving up on my guy. I am thinking strategically though. If he was to fail to get the nomination, do you think he would have a good chance of being picked as a running mate?

Crying baby irritates Bernie Sanders.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned how Bernie always seems angry and shouting during the debates. I don’t think I like him at all now.

Transgender and sports. Mentally debating myself

I’m posting this because I am conflicted as to how I feel. I read an article on CNN about a transgender athlete encountering resistance while trying to compete. I will post the link to the article below. What are your thoughts?

Just so no one thinks I’m trying to shit stir without giving an opinion, I’ll say that I can understand the argument in regard to the natural testosterone this athlete has benefited from compared to the other girls. What is the common ground or the solution here?

Source: NBC Affiliate

GREENTOWN, Ind. —
A 63-year-old Indiana woman has been arrested after police say she left a racist letter on the door of her neighbor's recently purchased house.

The Kokomo Tribune reports Deborah Cantwell has been charged with misdemeanor counts of intimidation and criminal mischief for a crime. She has also been served a protection order that prohibits her from contacting the family involved. She has been released on bond.

Police were contacted Oct. 13 when the husband and father of the family found his Greentown home toilet-papered in addition to the racist note.

“No N---- wanted in this neighborhood-THIS IS A WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD-some people find N-----Stressful,” the message read. "YOUR N---- KID IS NOT WELCOME.”

SHIA LABEOUF 'YOU'RE GOING TO HELL' CAUSE YOU'RE BLACK


Shia LaBeouf went full racist at the Savannah Police Dept. where he was arrested this past weekend, telling a black officer he would go to hell because of his skin color.
In newly released video, while Shia was being fingerprinted he looked at a black officer and said, "You're going to hell, straight to hell, bro." A white cop questioned the drunk actor, and added ... "That doesn't mean he's going to hell." Shia responded, "It means a whole lot, bro."
He goes on to accuse the cops of being racist because "a black man arrested me for being white."

Confederate T-shirt will not be allowed in Tensing retrial

Source: WLWT



The judge in the murder retrial of a white Ohio police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black motorist ruled that the Confederate flag T-shirt Ray Tensing was wearing would not be admissible in his retrial.

His attorneys moved to to block from the trial a T-shirt depicting a Confederate battle flag that Tensing wore under his uniform, saying it was irrelevant but could be inflammatory.

Judge Leslie Ghiz said that the shirt would prejudice the jury, and noted that she would say the same thing if the T-shirt spoke about God or religion.
