It doesn’t help matters that Dick Cheney, for no other reason than as a favor to his old company, managed to have the ingredients used in fracking classified. Of course it has nothing whatsoever to do with national security, but so that people can’t sue Halliburton-KBR because the data they would need to prove they were being poisoned is classified, and therefore inaccessible to the public.
It’s true for worker honey bees, they sting once and die defending the hive.
Drones don’t have stingers and queens have stingers but are very docile.
Hornets and wasps on the other hand will hunt you down and sting you repeatedly just for being near the nest and they don’t die after they sting.
If ANYONE denies Trump and his minions are hard core racists, point them to this li’l nugget

And now Trumpy’s minions are claiming it was a mistake due to a “database error”. WTF? I think what that means is that his name was in the database that wasn’t supposed to be made public. Par for the course for a campaign that is being excoriated by a lot of “true believers” because Trumpy keeps blowing a giant effing tuba instead of a dog whistle when he’s talking about his contempt for everyone but old, rich, white guys.

In AZ, the Africanized bees are very ill-behaved.
