@davenewworld_2 Had a similar situation at the Dog House Bar & Grill in Fayetteville. A black family came in to eat & the retired SF dude next to me at the bar said. “They shouldn’t let “n” in here. I stood up & clothes lined him 6ft off his bar stool. Knocked him out.

@Public_Citizen Take it one step further. No candidate running in a particular state cannot take donations from out of the state they are running to represent. This would reduce the insane amounts of $ being spent on these campaigns & keeps the elected official beholden to their state.
