Republican and family values Missouri governor Eric Greitens resigns after a series of scandals forced his own party to disown him.
Greitens became a focus right after his state of the union address in Jefferson City.
A former hairdresser accused the embattled lawmaker of having multiple affairs. He is a married man. His victim claimed she was tied up and threatened with exposure if she kept quiet.
He face a felony for unauthorized obscenity and harassment. He also faced campaign finance violations. He was using a fake charity donor list. In recent months, Greitens was indicted on felony invasion of privacy charges, computer tampering and misuse of funds. The invasion of privacy charge was dropped.
Greitens admits no wrongdoing but it was the party that told to him bounce.
"This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family," Greitens said.
"Millions of dollars of mounting legal bills, endless personal attacks designed to cause maximum damage to family and friends. Legal harassment of colleagues, freinds and campaign workers and it's clear that the forces that oppose us, there is no end in sight. I cannot allow those forces to continue to cause pain and difficulty to the people that I love."
Mike Parson will become the governor in a few days. Greitens will leave Jefferson City on Friday.
Republicans are sighing relief. They now feel that Greitens will be in the back of the minds of voters.
Now Republicans will try to tie Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as their last ditch effort to winning an important swing seat.
Missouri Democrats are working hard to defeat the Republicans. They now can use Greitens and Donald J. Trump as their shield in the neverending fight for control.
Roseanne cancelled. Roseanne Barr destroyed her show by her racist remarks.
Breaking.
Roseanne was cancelled. The second season was scrapped immediately after Roseanne Barr made inappropriate comments (uh, racist) about Valerie Jarrett.
Barr compared Jarrett to an ape birthed from the Muslim Brotherhood.
ABC quickly responded to the controversy by sending a message.
Barr responded to social media with a tepid apology.
I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.
Washed up celebrity Roseanne Bar posted racist shit online about Valerie Jarrett, former Obama policy adviser.
Okay, we need to put a muzzle on this. It's time to demand ABC hold this piece of shit accountable for her actions online. Her show survived it's first season. It may not survive it's second season.
Whitney Cummings is exiting Roseanne. She and Sara Gilbert were the executive producers of this. ABC was pleased that Roseanne did well. They said that the show will go on. It warned the staff to tone down the politics in the next season.
Now in the age of Donald J. Trump, Hollywood is working on making shows that appeal to right wing extremists.
The return of Last Man Standing is also going to cause uproar. Tim Allen, another piece of shit, has posted or remarked inappropriately about people of color and Barack Obama.
Valerie Jarrett done more shit than some washed up bigot like Roseanne Barr.
Roseanne Barr left her nut farm to return back to television. Her desperate attempts at woeing support from white extremists is working. Her lame attempt at being funny gotten her in trouble again.
Here we go, Roseanne Barr goes on social media to post this bullshit about Valerie Jarrett, the former Obama senior advisor. Jarrett is a woman of color and this comedian said, "Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby =VJ [Valerie Jarrett]."
muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj
Jarrett was born to African American parents in Iran. She is not a Muslim or a supporter of terrorism. She is a businesswoman, lawyer, and public speaker.
She ain't a washed up comedian who is trying to revive a career. Roseanne Barr is a washed up celebrity who got lucky.
The Red Table. Jada Pinkett Smith and Gabrielle Union put an end to the drama.
I didn't know that the two actresses were feuding.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Gabrielle Union are squashing their nearly 20 year old feud. The two have expressed interest in working on future projects.
On Jada's Red Table Talk podcast the two discuss the outcome of holding a long-standing grudge and how women of color could make an impact in polarizing times.
The women had not spoken to one another for 17 years.
A majority of Starbucks stores will close today for mandatory diversity training.
The viral video of two Black men being arrested by the Philadelphia Police after they entered Starbucks has forced the company to do some serious work.
Today, the company will close all company owned stores for diversity training.
About 8,000 stores will close today. This will cost the coffee giant $12 million.
The company will bring in Oscar award winning rapper Common and offer its employees an opportunity to address the controversy.
The company has now changed its rules on restroom and gatherings without purchase. It also will no longer allow its employees to call the law on loitering.
Common will be assisting Starbucks in their plan to make the coffee company more inclusive.
They want to make Starbucks more inclusive.
Rashon Nelson and Dante Robinson have both spoken out since the controversy. The president and the CEO of Starbucks both personally apologized to the pair.
The manager who called the police on the two is no longer working with Starbucks.
I happened to stroll the YouTube and saw white extremist Tucker Carlson complain about Starbucks. He brought on washed up reality star Mike Rowe to mansplain the "diversity" in Starbucks.
By the way, if you feel Starbucks isn't your thing, how about a local coffee shop or a minority owned restaurant. Put your money back into the community.
Great, another state planning on passing a vigilante law.
Ohio lawmakers are trying to pass a "stand your ground" law similar to Florida.
You may remember that Florida passed that law giving George Zimmerman the opportunity to kill Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager who was confronted by the armed neighborhood watch patroller.
This bill will strengthen more gun freedom.
Under current Ohio law, you may use a firearm in the defense of home, your personal car or a family member's car.
Ohio House Bill 228 would loosen rules.
shift the burden of proof in self-defense cases from the defendant to the prosecutor
scrap requirements that K-12 schools, police stations, courthouses, airports and other public sector locations post signs declaring themselves gun-free zones
reduce certain concealed handgun violations to minor misdemeanors
John Kasich said he will veto this law if Ohio Republicans manage to pass this through.
The law is being sponsored by two state lawmakers. Terry Johnson and Sarah LaTourette are fucking morons. End of discussion.
Ohio needs jobs and better roads. Not idiots running around thinking their judge, jury and executioner.
On this memorial day, a lawmaker announces he will no longer seek reelection. Republican lawmaker Tom Garrett of Virginia will be the 44th member of the House of Representatives either resigning or retiring.
He represented the 5th Congressional district of Virginia.
The hopes of the Democrats retaking the House and Senate are still up in the air. But this announcement does give the party hope.
Garrett claims that his personal issues with the booze has burdened his family.
His staff claimed he treated them like shit. He would order them to pick up groceries, walk his dogs and even picking up the poop.
Garrett would punish his staff with threats.
Some believe he was having an affair on his wife.
Garrett is a member of the do nothing House Freedom Caucus. He represented the areas around Charlottesville. Last year the city made history. It became one of the largest rallies for a bunch of white extremists.
Donald J. Trump said they were "very fine people" and the violence was done by both sides. Heather Heyer was killed when a white extremist used his vehicle as a weapon to attack counter protesters.
She has a name. Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzales was killed by Trump's death squad at the border.
A woman from Guatemala was killed by U.S. Border Enforcement. She is Maya-Mam, a Native American from the Central America region.
Claudia Patrica Gomez Gonzales was an unarmed woman who was killed by a federal agent. It could have been a racially motivated killing. Donald J. Trump and his minions have no compassion for the migrant workers or undocumented people entering the country.
Trump is adamant in building that damn border wall. So he'll continue pushing for more Border Agents and using the National Guard to secure the border.
Immigrant rights groups across the United States have condemned the killing of a young unarmed Guatemalan woman who was shot by a border patrol agent in Rio Bravo, Texas.
Border agent kills unarmed woman.
According to local media, quoting Gonzales' family, the young woman was travelling to the U.S. from a small village in Guatemala to find work to pay for her education.
Border Agents claimed that they were being attacked by blunt force objects. That's when the agent fired upon the victim. It turns out that the agent lied about it. There was no objects thrown or anyone rushed.
This border agent claimed that he saw illegal border crossing and came under attack. Yeah, he fired is service weapon and hit Claudia in the head.
A bystander saw this incident. She said the agent uttered a remark before he fired the young woman in her head.
This was made possible by Trump and his dehumanizing of immigrants.
Far right kookspiracy nut Alex Jones hot another round of lawsuits heading his way. The embattled host of Infowars now has a defamation lawsuit against him.
On Wednesday, a group of Sandy Hook families filed in Connecticut. In 2012, a terrorist went into the elementary school and started killing 24 people before he turned the burner on himself. Since Sandy Hook, we have had more gun massacres and Congress refused to do anything to curb it.
Also the families of the Sutherland Springs massacre have filed a lawsuit against him.
ones, the site's owner, claimed the 2012 slaying of 20 first-graders at the Connecticut school was a hoax put on by paid actors. Leonard Pozner, who lost his 6-year-old son in the shooting and joined last month's suit, said his family suffered threats and harassment after Jones' claim from other conspiracy theorists who told him his son never existed.
This weeks' lawsuit seeks monetary and punitive damages as well as other costs, but doesn't specify how much. The prior lawsuits each called for $1 million in damages from Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems, a related company. They marked the first such civil action taken against Jones by parents of the shooting's victims, according to the New York Times.
"He knew his claims were false but he made them anyway to further a simple but pathetic goal: to make money by tearing away at the families’ pain,” said Josh Koskoff, a lawyer fielding the Conneticut lawsuit.
Jones, in a video last month, said the Sandy Hook shooting "really happened" but that families were being used by the Democratic Party as well as news outlets and that the lawsuits would be dismissed.
But Sandy Hook-related lawsuits aren't the first threats this year for Jones, who's spouted unfounded theories on tragedies from the car attack in Charlottesville, Va., to the Parkland, Fla., shooting.
Of course the final weeks of school before some exit for the summer recess. We're approaching the Memorial Day weekend and usually most schools end their session.
Looks like you're not safe on the last of school. Another mass shooting in the United States. This time it was at a middle school in Indiana. This was at a middle school in Noblesville, Indiana.
A terrorist was taken into custody on Friday according to CNN. The terrorist shot at a teacher and two students. Noblesville police chief Kevin Jowitt told the junk food media that the victims to hospitals.
Jowitt said that the incident happened at 9am.
The terrorist was ordered out of the classroom. He would return with two handguns.
Another mass shooting at a school.
The teacher managed to wrestle the firearms out the hands of the terrorist.
America's dolt, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Eric Holcomb, Todd Young and Joe Donnelly came out with their phony sympathy and their "thoughts and prayers." Nothing will get these lawmakers off their asses to stop these incidents from happen. Pence was then governor of Indiana before he became the dolt's second man.
There was a mass shooting in Oklahoma City. A man opened fire on two women and a child before the so-called "good guy with a gun" stopped the threat. The NRA is so happy that the "good guy" decided to make that split second decision to stop a threat. Matter of fact, if the cops would have saw a gunfight, I bet you both gunmen would have been stopped.
Like this shit is everyday in the United States.
Gun violence is the biggest threat in the United States and these morons in Congress continue to sit on their hands not stopping this.
Hacker might be ordered out embassy. Julian Assange is in trouble. His stay at the Ecuadorian embassy could come to an end.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange played a key role in helping Donald J. Trump getting elected. Now he needs the help of Trump, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) to save his ass from the American authorities.
Assange is being told that his days at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London may soon come to an end. He has been granted citizenship for Ecuador. As a citizen, he is no longer allowed to claim asylum in their facility.
The hacker who was given funding through Russia has denied influence peddling. He claims he is a journalist who wants to expose the powerful.
He could face charges for leaking classified information from U.S. intelligence agencies.
Wikileaks played a key role in the 2010 release of brutal attacks of Iraqi citizens by armed forces.
It lead to the arrest and conviction of Bradley Manning. The former private was held on espionage and releasing classified information. Manning was held at Fort Leavenworth and has since transition into a woman.
Chelsea Manning was commuted by Barack Obama before he left office.
In 2016, Wikileaks gradually leaked emails from Democratic operatives to sow discourse within the campaign. Wikileaks deliberately wanted to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Trump praised the hackers for doing this.
American intelligence agencies believe Russia hacked into the DNC and passed the information to Wikileaks.
Push T used the infamous picture of Whitney Houston's bathroom as his album cover. The rapper reignited his feud with Drake.
Pusha T and Drake are at it again.
Today is the release of Daytona. This is a critically acclaimed album says most music critics. Pusha T, the co-founder of G.O.O.D. Music got a seven track album with features from Rick Ross and Kanye West. The songs leaked yesterday and one song managed to catch the attention of the junk food media.
Daytona is being called a masterpiece. I listened to a few of the songs and I say that it was very impressive. However, the rapper put out this single called Infared and it aimed at Canadian rapper Drake.
Infared is aiming at the turmoil over at Cash Money Records. The rapper slammed Drake, Lil' Wayne and Bryan "Baby" Williams aka Birdman for their fallout. The rappers want out their deal and Birdman ain't releasing them or Nicki Minaj.
Drake and Pusha T feuding again. King Push claims Drizzy has a ghost penning his lyrics. Drizzy says King Push is looking for attention and album promotionals.
Let's hear the Infared diss
[Intro]
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
[Verse]
The game's fucked up
Niggas beats is bangin’, nigga, ya hooks did it
The lyric pennin' equal the Trumps winnin'
The bigger question is how the Russians did it
It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin
At the mercy of a game where the culture’s missing
When the CEO's blinded by the glow, it's different
Believe in myself and the Coles and Kendricks
Let the sock puppets play in their roles and gimmicks, shit
Remember Will Smith won the first Grammy?
And they ain't even recognize Hov until "Annie"
So I don't tap dance for the crackers and sing Mammy
'Cause I'm posed to juggle these flows and nose candy (yugh)
Ferrari, my 40th, blew the candles out
Tom Brady'ed you niggas, I had to scramble out
They be ridin’ these waves, I pulled my sandals out
Jefe Latin my Grammy, I went the Spanish route
Oh now it’s okay to kill Baby
Niggas looked at me crazy like I really killed a baby
Salute Ross 'cause the message was pure
He see what I see when you see Wayne on tour
Flash without the fire
Another multi-platinum rapper trapped and can’t retire
Niggas get exposed, I see the cracks and I'm the liar?
Shit I've been exposed, I took the crack and built the wire
Now who do you admire? Your rap songs is all tryin' my patience
Them prices ain’t real without inflation
I done flew it, I done grew it, been a conduit
Moynat bags on my bitches, I done blew it
See through it, neck, igloo it
Habla en español, I y tu it
Let Steven talk streamin' and Shazam numbers
I'll ensure you gettin' every gram from us
Let's cram numbers, easily
The only rapper sold more dope than me was Eazy-E
How could you ever right these wrongs
When you don't even write your songs?
But let us all play along
We all know what niggas for real been waitin' on, Push
[Outro]
I do, so, yeah
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
Infrared, yeah, you know what I mean?
I'm gone, I'm gone, you hear me?
I'm gone
After the release of Pusha T's song Exodus 23:1 in 2012, where he took shots at Drake, Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records CEO Birdman, Drake seemingly responded to Pusha on the intro to his 2013 album Nothing Was the Same, calling Pusha T a "bench player acting like a starter".
After numerous subliminal disses towards one another between 2012 and 2017, Pusha T further escalated the feud on the song Infrared from his 2018 album Daytona, where he accused Drake of using a ghostwriter.
Drake decided to throw a monkey wrench into King Push's release party by responding quickly. This was released at 5pm today. Drake responded to the song less than one day later, releasing a freestyle titled "Duppy" where he insults both Pusha T and Kanye West, accusing Pusha of being a fake drug dealer and claiming that he would boost sales of Pusha T's album just by dissing him.
[Intro]
I'm in shock
The nerve, the audacity
Okay
[Verse]
So if you rebuke me for working with someone else on a couple of Vs
What do you really think of the nigga that's making your beats?
I've done things for him I thought that he never would need
Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me
I pop style for 30 hours, then let him repeat
Now, you popping up with the jokes, I'm dead, I'm asleep
I just left from over by y'all putting pen to the sheets
Tired of sitting quiet, and helping my enemies eat
Keep getting temperature checks
They know that my head overheats
Don't know why the fuck you niggas listen to Denim or Steve
Must've had your Infrared wrong, now your head in the beam
Y'all are the spitting image of whatever jealousy breeds
Don’t push me when I’m in album mode
You not even top 5 as far as your label talent goes
You send shots, well, I got to challenge those
But I bring Calicos to the Alamo
I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back 'cause he makes me nervous
I wanna see my brothers flourish to their higher purpose
You niggas leeches and serpents
I think it's good that now the teachers are learning, yeah
Your brother said, it was your cousin then him, then you
So, you don't rap what you did, you just rap what you knew
Don't be ashamed, it's plenty niggas that do what you do
There's no malice in your heart, you're an approachable dude
Man, you might've sold the college kids for Nike Mercedes
But you act like you sold drugs for Escobar in the '80s
I had a microphone of yours, but then the signature faded
I think that pretty much resembles what's been happening lately
Please believe your demise will be televised, yeah
And as for Q, man I changed his life a couple times
Nigga was at Kroger working double time
Ya'll acting like he made the boy when I was trying to help the guy
Yeah, who gassed you to play with me?
Man, you made this shit as easy as ABCs
Whoever supposedly making me hits, but then got no hits sound like they need me
My hooks did it, my lyrics did it, my spirit did it
I'm fearless with it, yeah
I really shouldn't have given you none of my time
'Cause you older than the nigga you running behind
Look, holla at me when you multi-million
I told you keep playing with my name and I'ma let it ring on you
Like Virginia Williams
I'm too resilient, get out your feelings
It's gonna be a cruel summer for you
I told Weezy and Baby "I'ma done him for you"
Tell 'Ye we got a invoice coming to you
Considering that we just sold another 20 for you
[Outro]
To be honest
Duppy
Is this another burial? I mean the Meek Mill/Drake feud was a no contest. Drake destroyed Meek Mill with Charged Up and Back 2 Back. Those songs destroyed him.
Then they hit social media to take shots at one another.
