The Marine Corps has a strict policy on tattoos — especially visible tattoos. Recruits can have no more than four tattoos, and they cannot contain any vulgar, racist, sexist or anti-American words or images or references to drugs.
-----

Under Donald, it will be "DSA" --- Dis-united States of America.

Because Donald encourage his supporters to punch his fellow US citizens.
How to be United, when he is divisive, ostracizing his fellow US citizens who are not the same as the color of his skin or who has not the same religions as him?
United - means "Mutually Inclusiveness" - able to accomodate people of all races and all beliefs.
Donald - are trying to tear this apart at home, in US and he is trying to tear this apart - against his Allies.
Good job Donald.

Clinton defeats Sanders in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Hillary Clinton rolled up primary victories in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina on Tuesday, dealing a severe blow to Bernie Sanders' bid to slow her march toward the Democratic presidential nomination.
"We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and winning this election in November," Clinton told cheering supporters in Florida, calling it "another Super Tuesday for our campaign."
Clinton also was competing against Sanders in two other Midwestern states, Missouri and Illinois. But her primary night trifecta strengthened her already formidable pledged delegate lead, and the former secretary of state said she expected to have a more than 300-delegate edge by the end of the day.
Sanders, addressing supporters in Phoenix, said his campaign had "come a long way" but made no mention of Tuesday's results during an hourlong speech. "You do not have to accept the status quo. We can do better. Don't let people tell you that you can't think big," he said. Clinton and Sanders did not speak on primary night, aides said.
Florida was the biggest delegate prize and Clinton's victories put her in a position to end the day with about two-thirds of the delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
With the three wins, Clinton will pick up at least 253 delegates while Sanders will gain 124. Many delegates remain to be allocated pending more complete vote totals.
According to an analysis by The Associated Press, Clinton held 1,488 of total delegates when the count includes superdelegates, who are elected officials and party leaders free to support the candidate of their choice. Sanders has 704 total delegates, including superdelegates.
Looking ahead to the fall, Clinton offered pointed words for businessman Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner: "Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it." She said for the nation "to be great, we can't be small. We can't lose what made America great in the first place."
Democratic voters in all five states viewed Clinton as the candidate with the better chance to beat Trump if he is the Republican nominee, according to exit polls. In Florida and North Carolina, about 8 in 10 black voters supported her, and she also won support of about 7 in 10 Hispanic voters in Florida.
"She has done it. She has been there. She is the person that should replace Barack Obama," said Eduardo De Jesus, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who voted for Clinton.
Clinton urged Democrats in recent days to unite behind her candidacy so she could focus on Trump, the Republican front-runner. In telling campaign optics, Clinton staged Tuesday's primary night rally in West Palm Beach, a few miles from Mar-a-Lago, where Trump held a news conference at his Palm Beach estate.
Trump warns of possible 'riots' if he doesn't get White House nod
Trump, who has never held elected office, has dominated the 2016 presidential campaign with an unexpectedly strong popularity with masses of American voters.

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump warned Wednesday (Mar 16) that "riots" could break out if he is denied the Republican presidential nomination despite having won most of the party's primary and caucus elections.
"We're way ahead of everybody. I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically," Trump told CNN the morning after his latest round of election victories, in the states of Illinois, North Carolina and Florida.
"I think you would have riots," he said. "You know, I'm representing many, many millions of people."
Trump, who has never held elected office, has dominated the 2016 presidential campaign thus far with his bombastic style and his unexpectedly strong popularity with masses of American voters.
The billionaire businessman says many of his supporters -- disenfranchised Americans who normally steer clear of politics -- are already seething about what they perceive as a political and economic system that is rigged against them.
"These are people who haven't voted, because they didn't believe in the system, or didn't like candidates. They are 40, 50, and 60 years old and never voted. Many Democrats and many independents (are) coming in," he said.
But while Trump is the frontrunner for the nomination, political observers believe he may fall short of the 1,237 delegates needed for an outright win.
That could lead to a complicated process of horsetrading and backroom dealing at the party convention in Cleveland, Ohio this summer which supporters fear could result in someone other than Trump being named the Republican standard bearer.
"Now, if you disenfranchise those people and say, 'I'm sorry, you're 100 votes short, even though the next one is 500 votes short, I think you would see problems like you've never seen before. I think bad things would happen. I really do," he told CNN.
"I wouldn't lead it, but I think bad things would happen."
Trump's incendiary attacks on immigrants, threats of mass deportations and a proposal for a wall on the border with Mexico have ignited the campaign trail and drawn condemnation in some quarters, including President Barack Obama.
Protests at Trump rallies have sparked angry confrontations. A protester was punched as he was being evicted at one rally, clashes erupted at another, and a protester rushed Trump on the stage at a third.
