I heard this morning though that the second site he put it on had also pulled the auction listing.

Maybe he should just run an ad on Craigslist

I don't think they used the screenshot as evidence so much as to just have a picture for picture's sake. Still, could have picked a better picture.

The higher-ups say to put a picture with every post, so there's a picture with every post.
It's the way we do things.

Everyone must now post an image with whatever you say here or get rated down.

Louisiana pushes for passage of "Blue Lives Matter" bill, making attacking a police officer a hate crime. GOP remains baffled about why they get 9% of the African-American vote.

The funny thing about it is that they "say" that they are doing outreach, but in reality, they have given up on the vote and have focused on the Latino vote.
I feel sorry for the Asian population. I think I might have heard them mentioned twice this entire political season. That's said given that immigration is a large factor in the Asian community.

Well, for national elections, the Asian vote does not matter. They have a small percentage of the population, (generally) tend to vote similar to white people in the area, have moderately low turnout, and generally are concentrated in non competitive states like CA/NY/Hawaii.
Just as Planned.
Asian Americans have been voting increasingly Democratic. Obama actually did better with them in 2012 (73%) than he did with Latinos (71%). However, as noted, they're a smaller portion of the population and are most concentrated along the west coast and in urban areas that go Democratic anyway. As opposed to Latinos who are a significant part of flipping states like Colorado and Virginia.
Edit: This article notes that Asian Americans were once the reverse, voting 3:1 for Republicans but have shifted in recent decades, in part due to racial/minority issues.

When we examine presidential exit polls, we see that 74 percent of the Asian American vote went to the Republican presidential candidate just two decades ago. The Democratic presidential vote share among Asian Americans has steadily increased from 36 percent in 1992, to 64 percent in the 2008 election to 73 percent in 2012. Asian Americans were also one of the rare groups that were more favorable to President Obama in the latter election.
This dramatic change in party preference is stunning. No other group has shifted so dramatically in its party identification within such a short time period. Some are calling it the “GOP’s Asian erosion.â€

It's still (sorta) the primary. Black votes count a lot there. Lots of black people also live in areas under Republican rule, so they have a lot of things to be mad about. Most Asians live in areas where their vote mostly aligns with the ruling party, thus they aren't mad, and thus they don't make noise, and so no one cares. It's safe for officials to pay less attention to their constituents who are broadly happy, so they have more time to deal with groups who aren't happy ( lower class and younger whites, black people, hispanics)
The only way I see this calculus changing is if China invaded Taiwan under a republican administration, and we extracted the populace. So, not in any way likely, but if it were to happen, it would happen under Trump.

The reason why Hillary supporters want Sanders to stay in the race is the hope that all of the new people that entered the primary, will then vote in the general. If you can motivate the Asian population to vote in the primary, the more support you will have in the General.
Lastly, they also have concerns that should be addressed, regardless if you don't see a political *edit* motive *edit*. Your logic supports why the GOP essentially gave up on the black vote.

How can China invade itself?
I believe you mean "If the PRC chooses to establish a garrison in Chinese Taipei and the US commits an act of foreign aggression".

Take down the sign and put one up saying that it's a Superfund site.
That wouldn't be too far from the truth.
She was a hoarder. We were actually surprised that she was able to get most of that stuff out of there. Still two fairly large piles of stuff left.
I talked to the woman. She says she doesn't care about the land. But she said that I shouldn't let the other neighbor know about it. I took down the posted sign the second night.
Apparently the neighbor on her other side has a son who is a real *******. He was harassing this woman about her property. Since it was such a mess. I guess he snuck onto her property and took pictures of her house through her windows, and turned them into the township. She was a hoarder. The township told her to clean up, and she didn't, so they took her to court over it. It all got dropped once they realized where the photos came from, and that they weren't allowed to take pictures from anywhere other than the road. And what ever was visible from the road.
So, she doesn't care tat she's losing the land, she doesn't want it, or the money. And she warned me I might have competition when it comes to trying to buy it.
Can't sleep, clown will eat me.
Good luck then. Release some poisonous snakes to guard the land in case people come to investigate.

A Florida man accused of vandalizing a home in Largo allegedly told police he was masturbating to loud music when he suddenly felt “like going out and destroying stuff,†according to WFLA.com.
The Largo Police Department got a call Friday about a man smashing a mailbox.
Responding officers arrived at the home and found a man later identified as William Timothy Anderson Thomas shirtless and covered in dirt, according to the Palm Beach Post.
The officers also noticed a flattened trailer tire, a broken window, and that a real estate sign and a garden angel were demolished, according to the arrest affidavit.
Officers said Thomas admitted causing the destruction. They claim he told them “he had listened to too much music and masturbated too much and he felt like going out and destroying stuff.â€
Police did not note what music Thomas was listening to before the incident. We at HuffPost Weird News suspect it was Guns N’ Roses, “Appetite for Destruction,†simply because it would be so appropriate.
The 25-year-old self-pleasurer was taken to the Pinellas County Jail. He was charged with burglary and criminal mischief.
He remains behind bars on $7,000 bond.

Well you know, it's nice everyone has their own kinks and stuff I guess, but he's probably not going to get a human rights group supporting his alternative lifestyle anytime soon.

I'm just impressed he had the energy to cause all that damage afterwards.

"Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Award Nomination."
for those who care, the Sad Puppies thought to mock the nominees for the Hugo's by voting for the short story by Chuck Tingle, "Space Raptor Butt Invasion"
He responded to getting nominated by publishing the eBook "Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Nomination"
Well played, sir.

While I disagree with their reason, I gotta say the lengths some people go to troll each other is amusing. Also it's always nice to see NPCs from the Legend of Zelda games getting work after their games have ended.
In happier news, apparently New Mexico is going to burn itself to the ground with all the protests against Trump. I'm sure all the riots are going to cost the state tens of dollars. Because it's New Mexico.

Also, while I'm here: Police told by college administration not to intervene as protestors storm stage and commit (admittedly minor) assault.
