From Rachel's show last night.

[surfered]

Percentage of African Americans by State:

Louisiana ~33%
South Carolina ~ 25%
Tennessee ~ 16%

But because of the recent Supreme Court decision, those states can (and will) redraw congressional districts to dilute the African American vote to deny them representation in Congress by an African American Representative.

33% of the population but denied any African American Congressman!!!???

It’s not partisan gerrymandering, it’s racist gerrymandering.

1. This has been Chief Justice Roberts fevered dream to dilute the power of Black voter since...

.... he was a younger lawyer. His dream to do this has finally come to fruition. He must be so happy and proud right now.

The power of the vote denied to no man.

The USSC says fuck than bullshit,...
American Fascists and racist think otherwise.
Their message,...
" Go eat shit,... and die."
With this ruling,... with the wave of their pen,...
The vote of Black people has been marginalized... once again.

9. When I first read about the lengths to which he went to adopt 2 Irish children

I figured 'that is one helluva a racist piggy' so afraid that children in the US who needed families might be somehow 'tainted' back somewhere in their lineage.

He is beyond despicable. SCOTUS should not be populated with racists jurists.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Now they will start working on disenfranchising women.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. That was the main goal of the proposed SAVE Act.

A majority of women change their maiden names to their married names, and thus have to dig up their birth certificate as well as their marriage certificate.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Women don't need to vote.

They should stay at home barefoot and pregnant.

[popsdenver]

24. Last time I heard that phrase

was when I was in Salt Lake, about that summarizing the Mormon Church......

[Attilatheblond]

10. Evidently, marriage certificates are no longer acceptable evidence.

From what I have read, millions of women will now need to pay the poll tax of getting passports to register, or change registration due to moving or changing parties. And Trump want's his picture on passports. To remind women that an adjudicated rapist is keeping his eye on them?

[Tumbulu]

13. In my opinion it was always retrograde for women to change their names upon marriage

and these are the majority of the unserious people who make up the Republican Party.

And I would wager that among the people with passports, more are democrats.

So, just like the gerrymandering in Texas that will end up possibly backfiring on the R’s, this stunt stands to backfire as well.

Just my take on this.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Women should keep their names upon marriage.

One less way for the GOP to screw them.

[Hope22]

20. I read that...disinfecting women!!!

And thought oh what have I missed! Your comment is spot on. These hateful *@$tards are the lowest of life!

[Ol Janx Spirit]

5. It's only racist if you believe minorities are qualified to make decisions on their own behalf....

[JohnnyRingo]

6. They can say it's not their fault minorities vote for democrats.

And that might hold some weight. I imagine if African Americans were a reliable republican vote the maps would be much different and redrawn to cancel the working class blue collar suburbs. The AA vote can be seen as collateral damage in their quest for a permanent majority.

By the same token, republicans don't hate public schools and teachers for what they do, it's for where their union dues go.

Having said that, republicans are indeed racist now as they've ever been. Just look at Trump's cabinet, but for them it's party over everything.

[GiqueCee]

7. The Sinister Six...

... on the SCROTUS are blatant racists and Roberts is their Imperial Wizard. They defile every lofty principle to which this this country has ever aspired. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh are the most obstreperous and belligerent in defending positions they know are indefensible.

[Efilroft Sul]

8. Racist gerrymandering is partisan gerrymandering.

The Supreme Court's majority members are facetious in claiming they are two separate things. And they only move with alacrity on matters such as this when it benefits white Republicans. Everything else gets slow-walked.

[magicarpet]

12. The USSC is racing to get all the ducks lined up trDUMPee needs,..

... to throw the midterm and 2028 elections to the exclusive favors of the American Fascist Republican Party and enhance, retain, and hold their majority powers into perpetuity.

The new day of eternal GOPee majority control is upon us. Just sit back, relax, and allow that new reality to wash over and comfort you.

[Efilroft Sul]

16. The subversion/cancelation/negation of midterm election results by these goons better not happen. But if it does...

…everyone better realize there is no viable political solution to getting out of this mess, and that actions will need to become kinetic to get rid of the fascists.

[magicarpet]

21. If the mid-term elections or 2028 elections are suspended or cancelled,.. and uprisings commence.

trDUMPee and KKKegsbreath would not hesitate one nano-second to turn our countries guns of war against the rioting or protesting American citizenry. Instead they would welcome and jump at the chance to do so.

These crazy KKKrishtun & White Nationalist Fascists would probably nuke blue states claiming the only way to stop all the rampant violence and assure the continuity of government while protecting the Office of the US Presidency - nuclear weapons had to be used to stop the overthrow of the government.

The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society would be green lighting and egging on the Team trDUMP Fascists every step of the way. While they screamed bloody murder to beat liberals to a bloody pulp, crack and smash theirskulls, and place their heads on pikes to be publicly displayed up and down Main Street USA and all around the reflecting pool in Washington DC.

DonOLD did not assemble these massive group of misfits, damaged, and defective people in our government and in his cabinet for no reason at all. dnt has sinister and nefarious plans to put these blind loyalists he has assembled to do his dirty work.

trDUMP has dreams of taking down this government. Then rebuilding and reconstructing this government to align with his visions of what a perfect government should look like and then installed to take the place of our Democratic type of governance. djt's blueprints call for a Fascist Faux Christian White Nationalist Hyper Capitalist Theocracy brand of governance.

Go git your buy-bulls. Tear out the too Wokeness - New Testaments section and heave all that directly into the trash heap.p. The Old Testament are all you will ever need. Rpead up on the fire and brimestone, wrath of the heavens, God's Will, God's Laws, and His Devine Intentions, His Devine Designs, His Devine Plans for here on earth. Forget about municipal laws, state laws, and federal laws that is all secular garbage. God's Law is all we need to know about. Your pastor and church elders will help you interpret those laws if you find them confusing.

Praise be to Jeebuzz,

No,.. Fuck Jeebuzz,... He is way too pinko and ap DEI proponent,...

praise be to the Lord Almighty our G-d,..

Remember the floods,... Don't piss him off or he will unwind, smash, and/or crush all his creations here on earth in a heart beat.

Wrath, vengeance, violence, punishment, stoning to the death, and banishment are all G-d's calling cards. You cross him and mess with him at your own peril.

Ahmen & Ahwomen too - Oops that is too DEI,... G-d will get upset then break and smash things.

(Anyone know an anger management coach or specialist ?)

[Moostache]

11. I'm sure that our followers in the Senate and Congress are preparing VERY strongly worded protest letters.

This is an all-out street fight and our side is being hit over the head with bottles, rocks, bats and clubs...our response? Has anyone seen ANYONE get really freaking pissed off or consider fighting fire with fire? I'd settle for some fiery speeches and angry protests, but a press conference with nothing new or no strategy for undoing ALL of this on day one when returned to power is weakness made flesh.

[magicarpet]

14. Now,... now,... now,... let's not mindlessly run off and go say or do something rambunctious or provocative

Our cherished Status Quo & Quid Pro Quo are here to stabilize and ground us so we don't fly off the handle and do something rash.

Do not make a move unless something has been studied for decades, focus groups have hashed and then re-hashed, political consultants and political advisors behave gotten in a word in edge wise, many many letters of concern have been written, delivered, then responded to. Before you leap and jump to get something ,... or trying to get anything politically accomplished. The maintenance of the Status Quo demands everything must be done at a snails pace. Rushing into anything is ill advised and to be discouraged.

You young whipper snappers please just sit down and shut up. Your turn at manning the helm has not yet arrived,... be more patient.

(As our Democracy circles the drain without relent.)

[Moostache]

15. Imagine if FDR had listened to these voices in 1932...

The same thoughts and inspirations existed then as now...only FDR was bold and action based (and almost everything he tried was initially a failure to end the Depression on its own - it took WWII to do that), but he managed to change the minds of the public and made a country believe that it was possible to get out of the Great Depression at all.

Today, we are stuck in Trump's pending Depression and the leadership of the moment pales in comparison to FDR. We need a leader to arise and to shake this system apart from within... otherwise, I fear we are well and truly fucked...

[Bob_in_VA]

17. You might want to research that

It's my understanding that the Depression was on its way out by 1937. But many folks in Congress wanted to end FDR's policies, which they did and the Depression continued for another 3-4 years until gearing up for WWII finally completely dragged the country out of the Depression.

[themaguffin]

18. They have been after this for decades too.

[MadameButterfly]

19. They are one and the same. The irony is that

people of color are not genetically liberal. They vote Democratic because of how Republicans treat them. If Republicans treated them right, they wouldn't need to make disenfranchising them their primary purpose. They could do something useful with their power.

[magicarpet]

22. One thing for certain about Conservatives and Fascists,....

... Is that they always - always over play the hand of cards they have been dealt. They invariably scheme, cheat, bluff, pout, extort, blackmail, short change, deflect, lie, embellish, misrepresent, fabricate, squander, or become avaricious, or gluttonous in attempts for gaining one up man ship over their opponents always demanding they the undisputed victors of all, every, each game they partake in.

Me,... Me,.. Me,...
Mine,... Mine,... Mine,....
My,... My,... My,...

Is al! they know or care about.

[MadameButterfly]

23. I'm waiting with baited breath for the day we see the fruits

of them overplaying their hand. It's amazing how far they have been allowed to go. But I agree, they will eventually go too far. Power built on lies, fear, and mental illness must collapse.

[calimary]

27. Pretty much.
