“…store owners, will stay open later than usual to welcome any extra business they can get before this weekend’s rally. Through social media posts, local groups are promoting events – from musical performances to signups for upcoming 5K races – to get people downtown to support the local shops and restaurants.
One non-profit, Backstreet Community Arts, is asking kids to come to the city park and cover it with chalk drawings of hearts, rainbows and flowers.”

“It will be hard for the hate group to take serious video footage when a rainbow-colored unicorn is in the shot,” the group said."

The administration’s decision to fight on in defense of the nomination came hours after President Trump publicly suggested that Jackson should consider pulling out because of the “abuse” he was facing.

Wowsa, if only he did that with the bulk of his nominees.

Indeed. Finally, at least one of those fascist assholes gets some of what they all deserve.

Edit: But then there’s all this whatthefuckery:

"For the entire trial, neither the prosecutors nor the defense attorney questioned Goodwin about his possible affiliation with any white-supremacist groups. At the rally, Goodwin wore two pins, one bearing the number 88, a code for ‘Heil Hitler,’ and a second with the logo of the Traditionalist Worker Party, a white-nationalist group.

"But during his closing arguments, [Goodwin’s attorney Elmer] Woodard suddenly raised the issue. ‘They want you to convict this man because he’s white, and DeAndre is a black man,’ he told the jury.

“The comment drew an objection from [assistant commonwealth’s attorney Nina-Alice] Antony, who told the judge she deliberately avoided making the case about race.”

I can’t even…
