After that performance by both candidates on October 4, there was something else needed.
Pence won, Kaine won …
who the heck did?
Whenever I need a pick me upper, Randy is there.
The video is right off the presses.
Humor is the only way we can get through the amount of crap that one of the candidates has heaped on the collective minds of this population.
Laughter is the best Medicine!
Go Randy.
Thank you!
Virginia senator Tim Kaine and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence met face-to-face for the first time Tuesday night, October 4, as the running mates took part in the only vice-presidential debate of the 2016 election.
Dream Moderator Randy Rainbow Asks VP Candidates All the Hard Questions
Out comedian Randy Rainbow, who has made a name for himself with clever election-themed videos, “sat down” with vice presidential candidates Tim Kaine and Mike Pence (and “that Mexican thing”) to discuss issues of import to American voters.
Rainbow asked about foreign policy, the Trump Foundation, and which makeup product Trump uses to achieve his signature look.
Sorry.
I struggled with posting this.
Someone sent this to me.
But, I do believe they may be just playing the game while trying to take away
“OUR RIGHTS”.
Hmmm …
Yes I struggled with it but you can see I came to terms with posting it.

I dear friend of mine posted this grap this morning.
He mentioned that he struggle to post it.
I can’t give them a pass either!
These people are sub-human.
They know no shame.
Among other nefarious things, both of them have dedicated their strong efforts to put down, denigrate, disenfranchise and dehumanize the Florida LGBT community.
In my humble opinion, there’s no place for you, yourpresence, your empty words of comfort, during this sad time in the history of Orlando’s LGBT community.
Pack up your hypocritic selves and go back to where you came from.
theSKIMM’S GUIDE TO THE PUERTO RICO DEBT CRISIS THE STORY
Puerto Rico’s in trouble
The island’s got $72 billion in debt that its governor says is “not payable.”
So that’s …. great.
COUGH, I KNOW PUERTO RICO’S NOT A US STATE, COUGH
Nope, not a state. It’s a commonwealth that the US said ‘mine’ to in the late 1800’s. Which means Puerto Rico is like a college kid — kinda independent, kinda not. Puerto Ricans don’t pay certain federal taxes, and they can’t vote in US presidential elections. But they are US citizens, they use the US dollar, and they can join the US army.
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
I recently learned about this young Puerto Rican woman.
It seems that she has major plans and excellent ideas for Puerto Rico.
To anyone who is interested in the historical facts of Puerto Rico’s past which have lead to its current present situation, I urge you to listen to her.
It’s a matter of history.
It’s a matter of having the correct facts.
Many don’t know where Puerto Rico is located. Many don’t even know why Puerto Rico has this huge debt crisis, poverty level and so many other problems.
Puerto Rico’s Alexandra Lúgaro, First Independent Candidate for Governor
Alexandra Lúgaro wants to change things in Puerto Rico and break free from the shackles of a dysfunctional two-party system that has brought the island to its knees.
Lúgaro, a 33-year-old attorney and businesswoman, is running as the first independent for governor of Puerto Rico. The candidate’s lack of party affiliation places her outside the political circles, but she aims to inject new life, hopes, and ideas into the territory’s government.
Born into a family that struggled economically, Lúgaro credits education for her success, saying it offered her the tools to improve herself. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration at the University of Puerto Rico and later a Juris Doctor at the same school. She then earned a Master’s in Laws, LLM from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and is currently finishing her Doctorate in Tax Reform at the same.
Currently, Puerto Rico is going through the worst fiscal crisis in its history. We owe 73 billion dollars to our lenders and we are not generating enough revenue to pay them back, while continuing to provide public services to our people.
To this day, the United States controls all of Puerto Rico’s foreign relations, customs, immigration, postal system, communications, radio, television, commerce, transportation, social security, military service, maritime laws, banks, currency, judiciary, tariffs, trade relations, shipping industry and cabotage rights, yet shockingly they continue to avoid their responsibility over Puerto Rico’s fiscal crisis.
We know where we have failed, but we are willing to make it right.
We’re just requesting the same from the U.S. Government:
1. Derogate the Jones Act to allow non-American ships to carry goods between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland in order to lower Puerto Rico’s shipping costs and give us a real chance of competing in the world economy.
2. Enact for Puerto Rico a Visa Waiver Program similar to the one extended to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, in order for us to be able to attract visitors, doctors and students from Central and South America, jump starting our tourism industry and being able to compete with neighboring islands.
3. Take an active role in solving our financial crisis, working with our government to define a strategy that will help us meet our responsibility with bond holders and develop a healthy and sustainable economy.
President Barack Obama and Members of Congress:
We’re not asking you for money or for pity, we’re just asking you to assume your responsibility and help us get back on our feet.
Gov. Scott wields his veto pen for political payback
BY PAULA DOCKERY
Just four days after the Florida Legislature passed the $78.7 billion state budget, Gov. Rick Scott, with no advanced notice, fanfare or public appearance quietly signed the budget behind closed doors. He didn’t confer with his partners in the process — fellow Cabinet members, legislative leaders and senators and representatives. Even his lieutenant governor was left in the dark.
Nor did he communicate with those who found themselves on the receiving end of his veto pen. Mayors, commissioners, university presidents and healthcare administrators were among those learning their fate online, through the news media or by word of mouth.
Scott vetoed $461 million of legislative spending, a personal record, or less than one percent of the budget.
There was mixed reaction to Scott’s vetoes and to the odd manner in which he performed what is arguably the governor’s most significant responsibility. Individual legislators were surprised to learn that he had completed the job without reaching out to them, as most governors traditionally do.
Scott deserves some criticism for the lack of public discourse, stakeholder involvement and transparency. Scott has — during past sessions — conferred with legislators on their budget priorities. But this session and special session were particularly acrimonious, with the governor siding with one chamber over the other.
Born and raised by underpaid public school teachers in Sanford, Fla., Andy Marlette graduated from the University of Florida and became staff editorial cartoonist at the Pensacola News Journal in 2007.
Marlette received a priceless editorial cartoon education while living with his uncle and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Doug Marlette in Hillsborough, N.C.
Doug’s tragic death in July of 2007 made evermore poignant the elder Marlette’s fierce and faithful devotion to the art form of editorial cartooning as a cornerstone of American free speech. With this in mind, Andy works daily to learn and uphold the disciplines and values passed on to him by his late uncle.
