I think it’s pretty clear that Trump isn’t going to produce his tax returns at this point. So, is this no longer a requirement for presidential candidates moving forward? ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I wasn’t aware that “approval” was something that a community could require before someone relocated there. Damn, he was here, had a rally? What, by stealth? I live here, and as Eugene V. Debs is my witness, I just heard about it here. Son-of-a-gun. As far as “approval” goes, yeah, it was approved, like the Hmong, other Lao, Vietnamese refugees have been accepted. Perhaps a bit grudgingly, there are always problems, but they do it. People say they are kinda dull and bland, and I won’t contradict. And you can’t get decent bar-b-q to save your soul! But there is a decency, a humanity that just shrugs and accepts. ---

My current work crush is going from brunette to a dark auburn, but first she had to bleach it down to Trump Orange. “It’s a work in progress. It’ll be fine by Wednesday.” When I was done laughing I said that I’m just glad she’s done with chemo (knock wood–listen to me, you Kobold bastards: give her this one) and has hair she can play with. Though her wigs were great. ---
