and I hope they get rid of this colossal horse's ass soon.

Yeah, he's a bigot and a racist and he needs to go.

Just another example of how Trump is not too far from the Republican "mainstream."

Gov. Paul LePage’s daughter is going to be working on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and vice presidential candidate Mike Pence.

Lauren LePage, a third-year law student at the University of Maine School of Law in Portland, was named Maine coalitions director for Trump and Pence on Wednesday, and Leland Graves was appointed the campaign’s deputy state director. The new hires were announced by the Trump and Pence campaign team.

Christie Lee-McNally, Trump’s state director, said the new staffers will join a campaign that will try to turn out the votes to win Maine’s four electoral votes in November.

“We have assembled a strong team of campaign staffers that is committed to building the grassroots enthusiasm that we saw in the primary that will turn out the votes that we need to win Maine in November,” McNally said in a statement.

I don't know about Maine, but all the people at the pharmacy I go to are white.

for 'ze French Disease'?

But that's only because police don't arrest white people for drug crimes. (Except Bob, maybe, but he doesn't count.)

Read my post below on who are the real drug dealers in ME.

I thought my sarcasm would be evident. The truth is that I agree with you 100%; Paul Lepage is a lying pos, and worse

Good morning from Augusta. In two speaking appearances Wednesday, Gov. Paul LePage put himself back in the center of two race-related controversies, one he started and one touched off by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“[Fazeli] is just another version of [the Tsarnaev brothers], then there are the mighty powerful ones like Mr. Kahn who is a con artist himself,” said LePage. “He uses the death of his son who is an American soldier which we respect and honor and he uses that to go after Trump, which I find very distasteful. then we find out that he’s a law partner with guess who? The attorney general of the United States.”

LePage said that since his January comments, which received national attention, he has kept a three-ring binder with information about alleged drug traffickers arrested in Maine. He said more than 90 percent of them “are black and Hispanic people from Waterbury, Connecticut, the Bronx and Brooklyn.”

“There are a whole lot of white girls, too, a whole lot of white girls,” LePage reportedly said. “In fact, in almost every single picture is a white Maine girl in the picture.”

"saying photos he's collected show more than 90 percent of them are black or Hispanic. "

I live in NH and watch the Portland, ME news station.

More than three fourths of the people they report on being arrested for drug dealing are white.


The first time LeRage made a racist comment about black drug dealers (saying they had names like D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty) on the same day three people were arrested at the Portland airport bringing heroin into the state. All three were white.

don't cook meth like they do in every other part of the country.

Because there's at least one very white Maine Republican with likely ties to the drug rackets.
