An HOA in Olympia is is threatening to fine a local homeowner unless she takes down a Black Lives Matter sign inside her house.
Said HOA seems to be completely OK with the Trump doormats and thin blue line flags her neighbors are displaying outside.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid buying a home in a community with an HOA, but that takes the cake.

Never any street racing when RepubliQuans were in office. Congresscritter who changed from Democrat to R-Idiot.

WARNING - THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS STRAWMAN ARGUMENTS, BLATANT HYPOCRISY, OUTRIGHT LIES. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK - WARNING
“Across the country we are watching leaders implement weak-on-crime policies and continually disrespect our police and first responders. For years now, far-left Democrats have ridiculed our police and sought to strip police funding and to no surprise, crime has skyrocketed. When leaders diminish and demean our police officers, this translates to individuals believing this type of behavior is acceptable and will go unpunished. And now we are seeing it right here at home in South Jersey. President Biden and the Democrat majority in Congress must stop allowing career criminals to walk the streets, we must detain individuals for heinous crimes up until trial, and prosecutors must follow the rule of law when issuing sentences.”
This from the party that calls for the murder of opposing politicians, denigrates the FBI and capitol police force, reduced funding for embassy and consulate security prior to Benghazi, is okay with the murder of women and fetuses involved in health emergencies, and tried to overthrow the US government amid dozens of other crimes.
Local authorities though they had sufficient response available but sometimes shit happens. Remarkably, they didn’t blame Biden, Democrats, Clinton, Soros, Obama, The Deep State; only the organizers of the event where the crash and deaths occurred.
Nice of the asshole to throw in “Thoughts and Condolences” there at the end of his screed.

Who spilled the beans? Were we hacked? Maybe our leader Beck talked in her sleep at the rehab center? Deep State must incognito on the board.
Dopers, let’s tighten up on security, another leak like this could blow our cover completely. They may already know of our plan to sabotage Mango Man’s next appearance in Arizona by a plague of locusts and horned toads. Back to the mattresses in the short term.

Prosecutors are now issuing sentences? Interesting judicial system they must have up in the Garden State.

> Loser Donald accuses Republicans of preventing a government shutdown because they hate him, makes a thinly veiled death threat against the Minority Leader, hurls a racist slur at a woman who was in his Cabinet for his entire term, gets her name wrong, and misspells “advice”, all in one post.
Hey, if them hating Tan the Conman is what it takes for them to not shut down the government, then who am I to complain?
Isn’t he already being investigated for inciting political violence? Tan in a Can, as I’ve said before, may have the right to remain silent; however, he does not have the ability. At any rate, if this is what it takes to get him finally indicted, tried, convicted, and incarcerated, again, who am I to complain?
Ms. Chao must be so proud to have worked for him, knowing now that he evidently barely knows who she is during what I call the presidential [interregnum (definition 2)](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/interregnum). But, hey, if this is what it takes for a member of a minority to realize working for an unrepentant racist is not good mojo, then, yet again, who am I to complain?
He cannot spell anything wrong. Remember that he is the smartest person ever! No doubt all his followers will now start spelling it the way he does. If is appalling and constantly displayed illiteracy is what it takes for some of his supporters to realize that he’s an idiot, then, at long last again, who am I to complain?
She and her hubby are Republicans, so I really don’t have that much sympathy for either one of them for “gettting their faces eaten”.
