Cook trump and make him ride the lightning.

Do the same to whatever crawls atop the white nationalist hate pile that is the republican party in his loathsome wake.

At least two states other than GA are considering actions against Trump wrt the fake electors --> Michigan and New Mexico.

He can just slide further into paranoid dementia till his heart stops.

The important thing is to vote to keep big government republicans out of your pants.

Graham's lawyers argued that he "will suffer irreparable harm if forced to appear before his appeal concludes."

I'm trying to figure out what harm he would suffer if he has done nothing wrong!

Your ever-present misogyny is a good reminder to us to be glad you know none of the women in our lives.


Trust me - you would be summarily dismissed

And they are democrats.

Heh.

Thanks, Kid!

The racist party strikes again.

Here's the apology from the Lawrence County Alabama Republican Committee:

"I would like to offer a deep and sincere apology for a picture that temporarily appeared on this page last night. A Google search picture of a GOP elephant was used and later found to have hidden images that do not represent the views or beliefs of the Lawrence County Republican Party," the post said.

The elephant and its "hidden" images are below:


How terribly hidden. And I do mean terribly.

The image, which was found on Instagram, was created by Woody Harrington, who has since added this text:

Are you a Republican politician looking for a promising image to symbolize your new campaign? THIS IS NOT IT😬

2 years ago I created this image for a piece in @motherjonesmag about the hate, bigotry and racism hidden within Trump's GOP. Its now come to my attention that the Hate Elephant has been given new life (without permission or credit of course) in not one, but two republican campaigns. Unfortunately, when they google searched "GOP elephant", they never bothered looking close enough at the original source material, or the elephant's legs to notice the hidden KKK hoods. (Swipe right for the aftermath) 🤦‍♂️ Let this be a lesson in copyright karma, and always remember to ask for a proof.... #copyrightkarma #motherjones #woodyharrington #gopelephant

Why Slavery is Still Legal in America -- And How Voters Can Take Action

Last Juneteenth, members of Congress reintroduced a constitutional amendment to end slavery in the United States. You may be thinking, "Wait? Didn't the Thirteenth Amendment already do that?" Not exactly.

The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is recognized by many as the formal abolition of slavery in the United States. However, it only ended chattel slavery - slavery in which an individual is considered the personal property of another. While formally eliminating the most recognizable form of slavery, the Thirteenth Amendment also enabled slavery to be transformed into something else that still has harrowing ramifications for Black people today.

Section I of the Thirteenth Amendment reads:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

The Abolition Amendment, a joint resolution currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee, proposes amending the U.S. Constitution to include an article reading, "(n)either slavery nor indentured servitude may be imposed as a punishment for a crime," which would formally close the exception loophole. However, the bar for passing a constitutional amendment is high, requiring a two-thirds vote by the House and Senate, as well as ratification by three-fourths of all state legislatures. Thus, this resolution has not gained much traction.

Because of this federal inertia, states have instead been driving efforts to eliminate slavery through ballot initiatives to amend their own constitutions. This November, voters in Tennessee, Oregon, Alabama, Louisiana, and Vermont will decide whether to revise their constitutions to remove exceptions to the abolition of slavery. If you are a resident in one of these states, you will soon have the opportunity to make your voice heard on this important issue this fall.

Trump was rising in wards pants, but the raid broke his concentration.

Now, it's reopened.

Anyone else have that experience?

[kidcarter8]

Yep.

Yes.   Voters can take action by driving to Vermont an other states - and voting.

You can do that for Biden in '24 as well.

[facilitatorn]

I like driving to other states and driving people to the polls who want to vote for a good life in America as free from republican influence as possible but do not have a convenient means of transportation. I get my lists from local party and canvassing organizations. Also you can bring registrars to immobile voters on Election Day as well. 

It is one of the benefits of registering my vote well before Election Day. I have done South Philly, Eau Claire, and Henderson. I am thinking somewhere in Arizona might be the spot this year. It would be fun to help them wash the scum right out of their hair.
