What happened to Utah women’s basketball team was horrible and also typically American | USA Today

Someone thought it would be great to send young black women from Utah to one of the most racist parts of the US, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They were followed and harassed by the locals.

Why? Because they were encouraged to. By their community, by their governor, by the tin god they want back as president.

Because they have been told they are right to do so by dozens of voices on their radio and TV screens.

But it isn’t just them. Sure, that part of the country is full of skinheads and retired LAPD goons. They are certainly an outlier. But they aren’t alone. It would really be nice if we finally started trying to fix that particular problem.

Lawmaker Asks Delta Pilot About Being A ‘Stewardess’ Immediately After Being Told She’s A Pilot

I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.

I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.

“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.

Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”

Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”

“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.

“I’m a pilot.”

Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?

One Michigan voters view

“NATO is a bulwark against Russian aggression and he was ready to walk out of that. There are other ways he treated the people of Muslim religious background. His dirty mouth. I think he’s pretty much an asshole, to quote a phrase, and it’s terrifying to me, at 80, to think that he would be one of the last presidents.”

“He could decimate social programs that I’ve been committed to and worked on for a very long time, and so there’s a whole variety, as well as his personal way of dealing with people and the world.”
