David Marsters believes that the words "Shoot the ni**er" aren't threatening or racist. I believe he's "speshal."

David Marsters lives in Sabattus, Maine, and is a conservative candidate for a town position there. He just recently received a visit from the Secret Service after he posted an article about President Obama on Facebook, along with the words, "Shoot the n****r."

After receiving the visit, Marsters said this:

"[They] didn't see no pictures of Obama with bullet holes in his head. It's not a threatening statement, in my opinion, People take it out of context as a threat."

He also claimed he wasn't a racist, saying, "White people are n****rs, too."

As if this wasn't enough, Marsters told the Bangor Daily News that due to Obamacare, his wife will no longer have health insurance, saying, "I'm pissed off at the system, OK. We're about to lose our benefits because of this a**hole."

First off, that Obamacare myth has been debunked, so Mr. Marsters can refrain from insulting the president - or in his mind, complimenting him.

Secondly, I'd love to know what planet Marsters is from where the words "Shoot the n****r" alongside the first African-American president of the country isn't seen as racist or threatening. It's also almost laughable he believes people have taken those words out of context as a threat, since there wasn't any context to begin with. In conjunction with the article he was posting, the only words Marsters wrote were, "Shoot the n****r." Also, what context would make that non-threatening?

"So, I says to him, I says, take out that squirt gun and shoot the n****r!"

Okay, so while that wouldn't be all too threatening, it would still come across as racist.

To Mr. Marsters, it appears that in addition to threatening words, there needs to be a threatening picture for the post to be seen as an actual threat.

"[They] didn't see no pictures of Obama with bullet holes in his head. It's not a threatening statement..."

Yeah, okay, so when a person tells another on the street, "I'm going to f***ing kill you!," he'll have to then grab a pencil, piece of paper, and show the victim exactly what they're going to do to them for the police to consider it as a legitimate threat? If that were the case, we'd be able to spot criminals fairly quickly, because they'd all be carrying Pictionary chalkboards.

If this man gets elected for anything, I'll be fearful to ever enter the state of Maine, especially since I often times have a writing utensil in my hand and my family enjoys the game of Pictionary. The Rozniecki family would likely be seen by Mr. Marsters as the Manson family. Meanwhile, I just see him as being racist and stupid.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
