Did you know President Donald Trump should be impeached because of slavery?
It’s true, according to Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green.
“I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin,” Green said yesterday on MSNBC. “We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. It’s [the] insidious scion of racism. The president has played on racism, and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people.”

The ideals of the Confederate battle flag were hijacked in 2015 by Dylann Root, who shot nine worshipers at an African American church.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said the flag had meant “service, and sacrifice and heritage” to some.
“And here is this guy that comes out with this manifesto holding the Confederate flag, and had just hijacked everything that people thought of ––and we don’t have hateful people in South Carolina,” said Haley on Blaze TV. “There’s always the small minority that’s always going to be there. But, people saw it as service and sacrifice and heritage. But once he did that, there was no way to overcome it.”

Climate protestors in Washington, D.C. snarled rush hour traffic last Friday morning.
“We’re going to be hopefully stopping some people from getting to work and inconveniencing them and getting people out of the rhythm of the normal workday,” protester Tess Goddard told WTOP.c“This might be an inconvenience … but the climate crisis is going to actually change our lives fundamentally. If we don’t solve the climate issue, literally nothing else matters.”

Is Santa a coke head?
Snow, Snow, Snow!
Wal-Mart apologies for selling a sweater showing Santa seemingly surrounded by cocaine.
“We all know how snow works. It’s white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America,” the description read. “That’s bad news for jolly old St. Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole. That’s why Santa really likes to savor the moment when he gets his hands on some quality, grade A, Colombian snow.”
The Adults-only sweaters were sold on the Canadian WalMart site. Other questionable sweaters were also pulled.
