Technically speaking, it's called a "personal message" on the site.

It's all fraud.

What is?

T'was mocking Bernie supporters who aren't capable of doing math.

Thanks for reminding me about this, Verbatim. Clinton just clinched the Democratic nomination.

Not officially.

But yeah, she's essentially won.

So I just got a Volcanion in a wonder trade.

I got a Lugia the other day.

Can you blame him when third parties and independents get the shaft when it's not a local election?

Although he has caucused with the Democrats in the Senate, Sanders has't really been a member of the party (in the traditional sense) until this election cycle. It's why many party insiders feel insulted, that instead of running as an independent like he has in the past, Sanders simply latched onto the party for additional name recognition.

Blame him? Not at all, though I'd say his ability to be elected to Senate for multiple terms as a fully fledged independent shows some level of support.

But at the same time, his latching onto the party for name recognition, and then attempting to rewrite policies that have been around for many, many election cycles, is quite shallow.

Anyone saying Trump is wrong.

It'll remain with the EU

Got a bit nauseous looking at those options.

it's gonna be between Trump and Clinton. There's no hope. I'm just gonna sell my vote.

You act like this hasn't been determined since March.

Thanks for keeping up on this, Icybaby.

Where the fuck have you been

Flee, if I can get it on my Pokemon X along with ORAS, I'll send you one.

Do it

This whole thing is retarded.

Not at all.

I get NC should have left well enough alone, but then we have things like Target on the other extreme.

North Carolina should not have been left alone with blatantly discriminatory laws, and Target is in the right in their opinion.

What people seem to be forgetting is that no one is being stopped from using the bathroom, just their "preferred" bathroom.  Guess what, being comfortable isn't a right.

Funny - no one was stopping blacks from using the bathroom, just their preferred bathrooms. No one was stopping blacks from using the bus, just the preferred seats.

Systematic discrimination against a subclass is blatantly wrong, no matter if it's something you agree with or not.

Feds are taking this way to seriously.

Uh, no.

Uh, yeah. That they've cut of funding to NC to bully them into following their policies.

Again, no

Also, it isn't "bullying" to tell a state their laws are discriminatory.

Way to go Arkansas, you're hitting Florida tier

An Arkansas judge has resigned after a state commission accused him of ordering male defendants to be spanked, engage in sex acts and bend over for thousands of photographs to fulfill their “community service,” a senior state official said on Tuesday.

The resignation of the district court judge, O. Joseph Boeckmann Jr., was effective immediately after it was sent to the State Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission on Monday, said David J. Sachar, the commission’s executive director.

The commission, which investigates judges over possible misconduct or for disabilities that prevent them from doing their jobs, began an inquiry into Judge Boeckmann in 2014 over a possible conflict of interest in an unrelated case on elder care, Mr. Sachar said. But that case took a surprising turn when court employees began asking investigators, Did you hear about the boys?

“Then the dam broke,” Mr. Sachar said.

As of Tuesday, no criminal charges had been filed, but Mr. Sachar said they were possible.

The commission began uncovering evidence and witness testimony related to the judge’s treatment of male defendants in traffic cases over the past few years, Mr. Sachar said. Men who had appeared before Judge Boeckmann in court said they were asked to go to his house or to some other location with bags of canned goods, ostensibly for charity. Then, according to their accounts, the judge told them to bend over and pick up the cans as he photographed them from behind for what he said would be evidence of community service, according to a filing on the commission’s website.

In one case from 2014, he gave a defendant his phone number and ordered him to come to his house, where he photographed the man bending over and offered him $300 to pose as Michelangelo’s statue of David, the commission said.

The commission said it had obtained up to 4,600 photos of men — some identified as defendants — who are shown naked after an “apparent” paddling or other sex acts. The commission sent about 1,050 of the photos to Judge Boeckmann’s lawyer last week with a letter saying it expected to add them to the allegations about his conduct, Mr. Sachar said.

“We are not through processing them,” Mr. Sachar said in an interview Tuesday, referring to the photographs and potential witnesses. “They were defendants in traffic court cases, but possibly some other misdemeanors.”

The judge’s lawyer, Jeff Rosenzweig, declined to comment on the photographs but denied that Judge Boeckmann had done anything wrong. Mr. Rosenzweig said the judge had been near the end of his second elected four-year term in Cross County when he resigned.

“He does not want to get into a big fight about the veracity or inaccuracy of the allegations over an office that he was going to vacate anyway, and that is why he decided to resign,” Mr. Rosenzweig said. “He did not admit any wrongdoing, and he is not going to admit any wrongdoing.”

Mr. Sachar said the commission was assisting prosecutors on possible criminal charges.

“If a criminal charge is brought, he will be fighting that vehemently,” Mr. Rosenzweig said of the former judge.

The commission was continuing its investigation and it had interviewed hundreds of witnesses since August 2015, looking at the judge’s docket sheets, Mr. Sachar said.

“We have identified three dozen people by name that we have contacted or know it happened,” he said, referring to people who said they had experienced inappropriate sex acts, paddling or photography or payments by the judge. “We suspect there are more.”

The State Supreme Court ordered the judge to stop hearing cases in late 2015 as the investigation unfolded, but he was still drawing a salary and benefits. His resignation on Monday, which was sent to Mr. Sachar and to Gov. Asa Hutchinson, means he is permanently disqualified from being a judge and public servant.
