  1. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about why Biden is not up 30 points, but instead finds himself in a dead heat with felon Trump. Then it hit me. We’re witnessing a nationwide sustained manic breakdown the likes of which is normally confined to small groups or individuals. The last time history has recorded something on this scale was during 1930s Germany. Like David Koresh and Jim Jones before him, felon Trump has (for reasons I will never understand) been able to tap into the psyches of millions which has rendered them incapable of rational thought or the ability to think critically. The religious like fervor with which they pay obeisance to a man they know to be deeply flawed is like nothing we’ve seen in American presidential politics. I’ve said it many times in this forum. In order for felon Trump’s adherents to live with the mental and emotional dissonance that uncritical support of him engenders, they reject the knowing of facts and rely instead on what they believe because belief in this environment is invulnerable to disproof. Unless something changes and the fever breaks, the lessons of Waco, Guyana and 30’s Germany will go unheeded with the same disastrous results.
  2. Democratic attorneys general urge DOJ to investigate killer pardoned by Greg Abbott https://www.yahoo.com/news/democratic-attorneys-general-urge-doj-211206161.html
  3. The west Texas oil barons have their people in place to execute their vision. Now, tax monies will be diverted from needy public schools in rural Texas so that Christians can send their kids to schools like this one bankrolled by those very same west Texas billionaires: https://www.mcaknights.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=386607&type=d&pREC_ID=879161
  4. For it being called the Holy Land, I have to say there’s not much about it that feels holy when you’re there in the middle of all that division and hatred.

    Texas Primaries

    Colin suffers from a condition that infects most black male politicians. He’s afraid to turn off white voters who might consider voting for him by coming across as the scary, angry, arrogant even, black man. Trust me. It’s a real fear and not without credence.
  6. How is it these unintentional, inadvertent “mistakes” keep happening?
  7. Abbott was featured on 60 Minutes. His loathsomeness came through quite nicely during his segment.
  8. Watched quite a bit of their convention on C-SPAN. What you say, checks out.
  9. These people are not outliers. They make up the base of Magalitia.
  10. But there are millions of evil simpletons who can be manipulated like Weimar Republic Germans. Millions.
  11. The grifting butter biscuit wrote a concurring opinion to show black people just how much contempt he has for us.
  12. Supreme Court upholds S.C. election maps gerrymandering Black voters out of competitive district https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/05/23/south-carolina-election-map-supreme-court-decision-gerrymandering/ South Carolina election maps that moved Black voters out of a competitive congressional district are legal, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday. In a 6-3 decision, the nation’s highest court overturned a federal court decision that ruled the maps were unconstitutional and violated the 14th Amendment. The court split along ideological lines, with the six conservatives comprising the majority while the three liberals dissented. “The challengers provided no direct evidence of a racial gerrymander, and their circumstantial evidence is very weak,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. “Instead the challengers relied on deeply flawed expert reports.” South Carolina’s 1st District, currently represented by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, was hotly contested during the 2020 election, and Mace won it by 1%. But in 2022, after the district was redrawn, she cruised to reelection by 14%. Alito is on a mission. The Court must be expanded
  13. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to change the size of the Supreme Court. Congress has used that authority seven times before. To restore balance and integrity to a broken institution, Congress must expand the Supreme Court by four or more seats
  14. February, 2024 - Haley: Trump is unstable and unhinged. May, 2024 - I will vote for the guy I believe to be unstable and unhinged.
  15. Thirteen justices and thirteen circuits is reasonable.
  16. The Texas DEI ban has a rather interesting exemption for “recruitment.” I’ve been told the demons who crafted the law tried to address the concerns of athletic boosters who were worried about how a ban they supported would negatively impact recruiting. We’ll see.
  17. Some surly poster called this months ago.
  18. Thoughts and prayers, blah, blah, blah…brace for the next one:
