MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS ENDORSED & SUPPORTED A TRUMPIAN DICTATORSHIP....SAD COMMENTARY! 

- "Antigay Springfield pastor fighting Charlie Baker - and gay Ugandans in federal court," by Joshua Miller, Boston Globe:"Controversial pastor Scott Lively, whom Republicans this weekend catapulted into contention for the GOP nomination for governor, is embroiled in an active federal lawsuit in which he was accused of conspiracy to deprive gay people in the East African nation of Uganda of their fundamental human rights. A judge last year called Lively's efforts and writings against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people 'odious' and 'crackpot bigotry.'"

All of the missing data belonged to so-called quasi government agencies, which are established by the state."

But that didn't stop organizers of the secret, 800-member group from raffling off the firearms online and telling the winners they would have to make them legal."
