I'm down, what does a Lemonade Stand need to petition the government for, anyway?

Good God man, is Donald Trump your PR advisor now?

I assumed he was being funny.

Trying badly. Religious organizations just shouldn't be on the tax exempt list - which I think you agree with, in principle if not in detail.

It was amusing.

Bummed myself out recounting my family problems since the election, it was cute.

I'm just saying the people whose minds are already decided... are idiots.

Agree on both.

I do agree with that. I think all their charitable work and giving should be a write off like for anyone else, though. Some churches do a LOT for the community and the needy. And they tend to do it a hell of a lot more efficiently than the government. Federal or local.

And I was harassing about the Trump PR stuff. Should have thrown in a smiley.

I laughed at this Daily show bit last night. This whole thing is dumb, but the woman on Fox had me losing it at the end.

Overheard on FB...

"Trump won, get over it.". Things I'd said to Donald Trump if I met him

A non-story about the press sec not liking Dippin Dots made national news.

Because? And note how they add opinion mocking him throughout the article until his final tweet where they remain silent.

CakeGate

My favorite FB quote on this topic:

HAhaha, Man this is getting funny, trump used a background of obamas inauguration for his twitter feed, melania stole Michelle's speech, trump stole from Bane, Avatar, and the Bee movie for his inaugural speech, his pick for NSC Monica Crowley, has been accused of numerous instances of plagiarism since 1999, and now a F'N Cake!!! really!!!
Can't you do anything without stealing from someone else???

Anyone want to point out the irony to her in regard to the DNC's policies?

Bill introduced in 2015 is now a national scandal because Trump/Republicans...

At least 4 years of the MSM actually pretending to do their jobs now. Where were they the last 8?

I read some of the dipping dots tweets.... It seemed like it was pretty clearly a comedy thing? Am I wrong and the dude is retarded, or do a lot of people just not get the joke?

I legit hope he just had a bad experience with Dipping Dots and just made sure to take a public stance on it over the years. Makes him more interesting.

I have made some silly Twitter posts like that.

I once harassed Panera Bread for a solid 6 months until they brought French Onion Soup back.

Their latest ad campaign had put them definitively back on my "fuck them" list.

Panera's new menu is complete dogshit.

I haven't been to Panera in years, and try to keep my distance.

He's really about to make the American people pay for this dumb wall. Mexico is going to wipe their collective asses with the IOU we give them.

Walls are super overrated anyway, if Rust has taught me anything. I suggest rocket launchers for border control.
