Holy shit! Check out how angry the crowd is at Republican Rep. Keith Self’s town hall in Wylie, Texas today.

That’s another huge angry crowd in a deep red district!

White supremacists march past out Des Moines store for the first time ever. Guess this is a thing now.

If they come back we could join with pride flags and make it look like a gay white supremacists march.

Something to look forward to!! #raygun
