It's time to stop the political talk in the political thread. It's getting too far into the "my side vs. your side" teretory.

I accept that with delighted open arms! And an even 100 degrees to boot! That's a good dash pic.

I understand why things like this are part of the reason why people hat the president but to me this stuff is why I love him:

“But let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas, I’ll do this,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Great Falls, Mont., referring to Warren by the racially charged nickname he gave her during the 2016 presidential campaign.
“I promise you I’ll do this, you know those little kits they sell on television for $2? Learn your heritage,” Trump said.
“I’m going to get one of those little kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage — because her mother said she has high cheekbones, that’s her only evidence," Trump continued.
“We will take that little kit, we have to do it gently because we’re in the "Me Too" generation, we have to be very gentle,” Trump said mocking the movement that seeks to expose sexual misconduct in media, entertainment and politics.
“We will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm, even though it only weighs probably 2 oz,” he said.
“And we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian,” Trump said. “And we’ll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no but we will hold it for the debates.”

This disgusts me in about a dozen ways. It's shit like this that makes me want to see him die in some horrific fashion.
We'll try unlocking this thread on Friday the 13th.
A little time for all of us to remember to not make posts that pick sides.
If we can't remember, (me included) we'll go back to the strict no politics policy.

I'm opening the thread back up, please don't make me regret it.
REMEMBER:
Don't get into partisan political battles.
Even well tempered/intentioned discussions spin the wrong way far to quickly.
Let's agree to disagree about our understandings regarding specific politicians.
I know it's going to be difficult for us (including myself) to not rip into politicians - they seem to beg for it.
Try to do your best to let stuff slide.
The last election set such a bad mood around here, and the current political scene isn't showing any signs that we've learned anything, or that civility is possible.
We'd rather avoid the arguments here if we can. We lost several members that quit posting because of the ugly political mood that turned people that get along well against each other.
If I have to lock the thread again, I don't know if I will open it again.

Here we have a female, Russian, bus riding Trump lookalike (that may be a fake but who cares):
