POTUS 45:54: My Polls Are Better Than Your Polls

It all comes down to a lack of imagination by the Founders. They never considered a situation where a criminal enterprise would gain the White House and Congress. It just wasn't a possibility. Yet, here we are and I'm becoming more concerned that we don't have an adequate backstop. You can say 2020, but I don't have a warm fuzzy about the GOP not castrating that final line of defense.

I'm also becoming less optimistic about the GOP being pushed out of power by demographic changes.

trump's AmeriKKKa: Denny's manager tried to eject 3 black women after they complained about racial slurs

Yes, Denny's has had problems like this before the current occupant of the White House moved in, but 5 or 10 years ago it seemed like we'd occasionally see a lull in public acts of overt racism and now you can find something like this just about anywhere every single day.

I'd sure love to see the return of the boycott to pressure for action on civil rights. The Montgomery bus boycott was more complicated than just a tired Rosa Parks not wanting to give up her seat, and the refusal of blacks to ride costing the city money, but it did cost the city enormously from a revenue standpoint and put a huge strain on their public transportation. And while the users may have been predominantly black residents, plenty of white people used the buses too.

If people of color refused to offer Denny's their business and those of us who identify as white and see Denny's as complicit in allowing racist behavior did the same, the place would shut down in short order. If every cop in the world stopped going to Starbucks it wouldn't amount to anything more than a blip on their revenue radar, but if every person out there who is tired of racism boycotted Starbucks after the Philadelphia incident, Starbucks would have either ceased to exist or led the way in real corporate accountability.

I'm tired of living in a country where so much vile racism is commonplace. These corporations can't claim ignorance to it. At best it is willful blindness and at worst they are guilty of actual racist policies. I don't frequent Denny's often, but they've seen the last of my business.

*Raises hand* My best friend Shelby and I (we're both trans) eat there all the time when we're together. Denny's never complains about us using the women's room, and this is important, Shelby and I can talk for 4 hours. Denny's doesn't tell us we have to get out of there!

And this is from North Carolina: A Denny's manager stood up for a trans woman who had the cops called on her for using the bathroom.

HAhaha it took him all day to tweet about Paul

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">....When Mitt chose Paul I told people that’s the end of that Presidential run. He quit Congress because he didn’t know how to Win.

Patton Oswalt did a funny bit about Denny's tonight at the show I was just at. But his lone Trump bit brought the house down.

Everyone said that life would be great for comics with Trump as President. You wanna know what it is like being a comedian with Trump as President. Imagine an 18 wheeler filled with monkeys on PCP. And at full speed it crashes into a train FILLED with diarrhea. So now hundreds of monkeys on PCP covered in crap are running around. And people see this and say "HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT!?!?! And then I walk up and say "hey you want to hear a few jokes about that?!?!" And they say "nah we are good we got a few in our head already seeing this!"

One of us is a testament to the power of partisanship. Either you're blind because you can't see it's different or I'm blind because I can't see it's the same.
