He is one of them. DjT has always been a racist. He learned at his daddy's knee. First I heard of him was on local NYC news for discrimination in housing. Charges brought in '73. I remember my gram calling him choce names as we watched the news. She was a great judge of character.

They have always been around, they are your neighbors, doctors, grocers, teachers...DJT gave them voice and now it has become normalized for a large swath of the population.

Yet that has been inherent thru out history. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," Lord Byron. Our first need is election reform. Strict campaign spending amounts. More grassroots campaigning. No smear ads. Run on your platform alone. Get rid of EC, no PACs.

Multiple municipal offices. It was a pain in the arse. I recommend that ALL women as a precaution just make sure you have all needed documentation if this hell passes

This is what state board recommended. DL First name middle initial married name. Passport First name middle name married name. My fed taxes were same as my passport but because they all were different I had to go change it all to comply. Took two weeks. Countless hours in ugly waiting rooms,

God I'm old. I remember in '72 my gram cursing him while watching the 6pm news. Storyline was charges against Donny and Freddy for violation of the fair housing act. They refused to rent to well-qualified POC.
