Thank You, Mr. Timmer & Mr. Pepper! This is a very complex issue for me personally! As for my beliefs! Equal Justice Under The Law! Stands, in my, head and heart ❤️! There are too many show trials, going on in America, today! We need reforms set in place, for the next President! And the Senate! The Congress also!

Is section II still needed? “If past is prologue” all we have to do is look at the reaction to the Court striking down Section IV. About every State that was subject to pre-clearance; ran to imposes voting restrictions legislation.

Don’t think they already have new maps drawn and ready in implement; I got a bridge I will sell you really inexpensively

Young Republicans Expose Just Dance Vance And The Nazi Black House

The political treason of the Young Republicans was on full display with the uncovering of 1000’s of group chats amongst a group of leaders who openly joked about slavery, gas chambers, rape, and praising Hitler

Fascist wanna be president Just Dance Vance did some fancy 2 step to the music claiming “that’s what kids do” and that Dems should just “grow up” Unfortunately for Just Dance the identified participants were not young….8 of the 11 chat participants were 25 to 34y old….underscoring the ideological shift and rot in the current fascist regime

Of course the Nazi Black House had no comment through Karolyin’ Leavit and Congresspeople were hypocritically aghast that party members were caught saying the quiet thing out loud but they will get over it because this problem is sooooo much bigger than they will ever admit to

This should be a wake up call for all Republicans but unfortunately it won’t be With his partner Peter Theil and his political puppet Just Dance, there is now a growing number of idealogues who want to turn the country into a Nazi Germany

It seems the last 20 years the right is light years more advanced than Democrats in the legal arena....using legal machinations to accomplish many goals. Dems face major defeats over and over and over again...losing war on gun control, voting, and a myriad of other issues.

Look, I love the tennis match as much as the next golden retriever, but putting too much stock in any one development has limited usefulness. And if I miss a spot for the moment? Does it really matter since it's going to happen regardless of how hyperventilated I am at the time?

Take us back to Jim Crow? Sure. Could take us back to Nat Turner, too, since re-instituting slavery is back on the table in some of the more diseased minds (I'm not even kidding).

What I've discovered is that nothing travels in straight lines. Say the Supremes go full Dred Scott on us. That will do... what? Oh, will the rallies get smaller, and there will be no chance at all for a general strike or soft secession because we will all be cowed into submission by our all-powerful overlords? Damn, son, that's what you're implying.

I'm not saying something real is not happening and that real thing is not being taken up by SCOTUS, but straight-line extrapolations for *anything* has proven to be a bit... problematic. The tone, people, it conveys a lot, sometimes more than just the statement of facts. It's like when people attempt to 'add value' by giving dark pronouncements (as if they know something nobody else does) about what ICE or the cops 'might do'... and they end with 'be careful out there'. Thefuq? That's a useless waste of virtual ink and real time. Go. Or don't go. Get a burner phone. Check out the forty billion websites advising you on your rights and arrest protocols. carry a couple pints of milk. Wear a froggy costume. Or don't do anything.

But *DO NOT* pretend you know what's going to happen. This is unprecedented. We're not Russians or Poles. We don't know how to act or think in this situation. They are trying to instruct us in that, but we've been inviting to fuck themselves very much. I've noticed their credibility is running a little weak with us of late.

The future is uncertain.
