Literally the whole world is laughing at you.” The woman then slaps at him and he pounces and holds her to the ground. “We’ve gotta detain her till the cops come. I’m not going to hit a woman, but do not spit on me,” he says, and then puts her into a headlock.

Source: Pool / Getty John Kelly To Resign As Trump’s Chief Of Staff Another day, another Trump administration official is ready to high-tail it outta there. According to CNN , General John Kelly will soon resign as Donald Trump’s chief of staff as their relationship has become hostile to the point of not talking for several days. It has been 17 months since Kelly accepted the job that not many people want. Trump is said to be looking for a replacement as we speak, possibly Mike Pence’s chief of staff Nick Ayers. John Kelly has been close to resigning several other occasions during his tenure in the White House but was somehow always convinced to stay. That is no more. It’s reported that Trump is shook of the Democrats taking over the House of Representatives next year and wants someone who is going to help cover is orange a$$ as it flaps in the wind for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to take target practice at. This presidency is so f**ked.

Additionally, there are a mounting pile of lawsuits against the police department and bitter division among officers and unions. Congrats, sir. Now get to work.

FBI Reports Increase In Hate Crimes Since Trump Took Office In news that probably won’t surprise anyone, prejudice-based crimes have gone up ever since a certain someone took the reigns on the nation. A new FBI report detailing hate crime statistics has found that local law enforcement offices reported 7,175 hate crimes to the Buereau’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program in 2017. That figure was up from 6,121 crimes in 2016, a 17% increase. Now, it’s worth noting that more precincts participated in the reporting program in 2017 than in 2016, so that potentially impacted the increase. To further break it down, the FBI also documented precisely which biases the attacks were based on . 59.6% of crimes were perpetrated on the basis of race/ethnicity/ancestry 20.6% were over religion , and 15.8% were on the grounds of sexual orientation. That doesn’t even include the 69 crimes that took place on the grounds of multiple prejudices at once (such as an African American transperson, for instance). You can view the full report broken down by location, crimes, offenders, and discriminated against groups HERE . What do you think of the report?? WENN
