Interesting story about Trump and Trump supporters. So we did a few "look through a telescope" things in the park downtown. On Sunday, the Nation of Islam was there with a loudspeaker. They've been there before; we share a walkway. We always invite them over to take a look as a courtesy, they like us there and let us be. (We draw a crowd that they get to work as a bonus.)

On the Loudspeaker Sunday? Trump speeches. On the signs? "Negros stop being slaves!!! Vote Trump" yes, three "!" on the sign. Yea, that is a thing to add to the fucking #sillyseason nonsense. I had a moment where internally I giggled like a school girl as the conservative republicans of the club out with me had that moment of "da fuq" at the site of black people backing Trump while handing our Qurans, in Kentucky of all places.

I've done a program with the NoI's version of the Boy Scouts which I find more than a bit hilarious. We were created to be devils, after all
