All hail the orange emperor. He wants to be like Emperor Palpatine, but lacks any sort of real brains. And he lacks clothes too. All the orange emperor troll with no clothes!

Well, so what, in the Trump administration you can already lose your security clearance because you don't praise Donnie hard enough ... or because someone sows the unfounded (and false) rumor that you gave any informations to the press.

Hillary Clinton lost her security clearance because of her email scandal. It's about time.

Mexican man refuses to give up lions on his terrace

A man in Mexico City is refusing to give up the three lions he keeps on his terrace.

Federal inspectors say the trio should be moved into more appropriate care.

Their roars have caused concern in the highly built-up area, according to local media, and neighbours have voiced their complaints on social media.

Omar Rodríguez says he keeps them because he wants his grandchildren to get to know the endangered white species, says El Universal newspaper.

"I know that maybe these are not the best conditions," Mr Rodríguez told AFP news agency. "The best condition for having a lion would be on the African savannah, where it could run freely, but you know…"

• Jogger in Netherlands finds lion cub

He says he has kept lions for 20 years and he has appropriate paperwork from the Profepa federal environment agency.

However, the authorities say he has not provided this, and the animals' living conditions are not suitable.

Mr Rodríguez has been told to allow inspectors to visit his home in the Colonia Asturias area on Friday, or the case may be referred up to the attorney-general's office. He has also been asked to provide documentation on the lions' origins.

Your problem is that you are addressing the subject matter with facts instead of hyperbolic stereotypes... Kid and BK will never be able to comprehend your point.

BREAKING:
Yesterday Trump signed the Music Modernization Act saying that “Entertainers have been taken advantage of, but no longer, because of Trump”.
Today the former musician Prince's estate told Trump to stop taking advantage of Prince by using his music without permission.

You're in Germany, you tell me. I know plenty of them. I've rented from them on two different occasions. The first time, the one that stuck out to me is the guy who spent every evening yelling at the television about the evil Jews and kept his wife in their small room. I don't think I saw her once in six months there.

The second time was the lady who tried to manage the house herself, because her husband only came back every couple of months and would beat her. I keep a prayer card in my wallet, and she asked about it, and we used to talk about it.

Islam is a **** religion.

Both of these times were in Canada, not the US.

Well, I know lots of them who don't wear Hijabs ... just as I have seen lots of muslims drinking alcohol

And germany "traditionally" has a large muslim population (relatively speaking, absolutely it is less than 6% of the german population) thanks to a large immigration wave from turkey after WW2 (when germany desperately was seeking for immigrant workers) ... it is quite normal to have Shisha bars in the cities and to have no problems in finding a Döner-Imbiss.
From the percentage of female muslims I encounter who don't have their heads covered I would say it is as normal for them (in germany) to not wear any headcover, as it is normal for catholics, to have sex before marriage and/or use contraceptives other than Knaus-Ogino

Either the USA have only muslim fundamentalists (which I doubt sconsidering the fact that even refugees are double or triple vetted before allowing them in), or you don't know all too many muslims.

Vetted doesn't mean anything when you don't vet fundamentalists, and you don't.

Christianity is a **** religion too. Lots of kiddie diddlers.

Ben how is the invisible sky god working out for you?

Ben must keep his focus narrow so he can keep his moral hatred stoked.

Rather unnecessary since they force their women to wear Hijabs on pain of rape.

Says the guy with the avatar of a rapist.

[Ben Kenobi]

Let me guess ... you would also advocate that every muslim is forced to have a red half moon sticker sewn at a clearly visible spot onto his/her clothes, so that they can be recognized instantly

Something`s rotten in the state of Georgia:

53k voter registrations (predominately from black people) are held back for "additional screening".
It is likely that it is an attempt by the GOP (both, the governor as well as the person responsible for the voter lists are from the GOP) to engage in active voter suppression here, in order to ensure the reelection of the GOP governor.

(Georgia btw. also is the state where the black babysitter lives in, the one I mentioned yesterday)

they have also been doing that in Texas. It is a systematic GOP campaign at this point.
