LAKE GENEVA, Wis. — A Minnesota team won't be at the U.S. National Snow Sculpting Championship this week after two of its proposed pieces — including one depicting President Donald Trump — were denied due to political overtones and inappropriateness.

The team — state champs Dusty Thune, Kelly Thune and David Aichinger — had created a snow sculpture of Trump last year at the event in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, that showed Trump's hair and neck as a twisted pile of feces featuring his tweets. It was called "Peep" and meant to evoke the president's vulgar comments about African countries.

So organizers clarified rules early this year with sculptors, warning them to stay away from controversial and political designs because the event is family friendly.

Vulgar because accurate?

From the land that elected a pro wrestler - Jesse Ventura, and a SNL comedian to leadership positions....

True story.

I was sitting in a bar. Jesse Ventura was the Governor of the State of Minnesota.

The gentleman sitting next to me noticed that I was not a regular there and asked me where I was from.

“Minnesota”, I replied.

He starts laughing out loud, say’s something about an idiot wrestler.

Rather than suffer any further embarrassment, I fled the bar.

I was in Northern Ireland.

Not that different than banning MAGA hats from a restaurant..

Did you actually read the few sentences or do you like just jumping to conclusions? Here, if you can maintain your attention for 20 seconds, is what they did last year. Still think is is comparable to the banning of MAGA hats?

The restaurants banned ONLY Trump hats, while the people running the ice-sculpture contest banned ALL political statements.

Big difference there, hypo.

Why do the liberals always have to make fun things political?

***************

To liberals EVERYTHING is political. That’s because they want to control everybody and everything.

If those countries are not Sh@tholes, why do some many people want to move out, but nobody wants to move in?

It is their religion, and they are zealots. Ever try to have a conversation with a zealous Christian and see how long they will avoid mentioning the Bible? Same exact thing.

Are there any countries in sub Saharan Africa, which are not basket cases? Serious question. Maybe South Africa since it hasn’t totally fallen apart yet? Any others?

“Are there any countries in sub Saharan Africa, which are not basket cases? “

Well, I have personally been to Niger, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Angola.

Namibia and Botswana are actually not too bad, though they are poor, but between the Namib Desert and the Kalahari those countries are very sparsely populated. South Africa is deteriorating quickly.

The DBMs really piled it on him, about the “s-hole” remark, whomever said it.

Not your fault. Many articles on sites like Drudge and others either demand subscription or you must drop ad blocker to read.
