In 2021, Miller's group successfully sued to block the implementation of a $29 billion pandemic-era program for women- and minority-owned restaurants, saying it discriminated against white-owned businesses.

"This ruling is the first, but crucial, step towards ending government-sponsored racial discrimination," Miller said then.

That assumes there's any plan at all. There's not one and never was. The GOP is the dog who finally caught the car, and now they're facing the consequences.

I predicted a while back that we'd witness the end of the Republican Party due to Trump. We're starting to see its dismantling more clearly now.

Bingo.

Winning elections is so "that's the way it used to be done."  Just fucking seizing power and implementing an authoritarian is the way.  What's old is new again, play the hits (translated from the original German and Italian, of course, cuz this is AMERICA!), all that shit.  That remains the plan.  Rile up a violent base to do their bidding, seize power, and never let it go.

Unfortunately for the GQP, Trump is not a politician out to be a politician, he’s a politician out to raid the cookie jar.  

Trump brought in hundreds of millions after he lost, and he needs more money, and the easiest way now that he controls the RNC is by funneling as much RNC money away from down-ballot races and nation-wide initiatives and into his own coffers/PACs as he can.  It also helps him to fire long-time Republican operatives with extensive institutional knowledge and replacing them with Trump loyalists who won’t question him or how money is spent.

Not only is the building on fire and he’s stealing the cash register while running out the door, he’s the one who started the fire.

[atomheartbevo 89015]

I would argue that this is the easiest money Trump has ever received outside of his dad dying, because people are literally just giving him money straight-up, or buying his cheap shit for high prices simply because his name is on it.  

That’s left a bigly impact on him and Donnie Jr.

Huntsville is also home to a lot of DoD and NASA contractors - not exactly a bastion of hillbillies. These are the kind of voters who reliably voted GOP for decades that Trump has lost. 

I looked at Sabato's feed and he's been calling bullshit on the polls for a while. He's pretty much the gold standard when it comes to this stuff.

Nothing is guaranteed ever but at this point is hard to ignore the canaries in the mines are screaming.

csb Sabato was my first year government professor (I know, I've said this before)

Now I 100% get why Biden is making a play in FL. His campaign can boost those referendums and they can also boost Biden’s vote share in the state. They have money to spare, so why not. Why not make a nominal play in any state with a weed and/or abortion referendum on the ballot. Even an extra 1-2% juice squeezed out can be the difference

I don’t know. The Apprentice was probably the best thing that ever happened to him. Without that (and then Twitter), he’d probably still be doing commercials for fast food and laundry detergent.

Don't forget to give to down ballot dems in federal and state especially if they are decent folks.  I have a gut feeling that there is more synergy created that way than giving to the top guy.

Wisconsin is both one of the most important states and also one of the most well run Democratic parties.  I haven't donated any money yet this year to anyone, but WisDems is at the top of my list come August or so.

Nothing will happen until we get rid of our crippled son of a bitch governor,  crooked as hell and nasty attorney general, and extreme religious freak lieutenant governor whose obsessed with owning the LGBTQ community and turning back the clock to 1950.

 

It’s a worst case scenario for Texas because these losers have no prospects to rise up to higher or a national office, there’s no term limits and unfortunately they have no signs of bad or deteriorating health. 
 

we could be stuck in the dark ages for a long time with these fucktards.

Uh, not to get your hopes up.  But Dan Patrick will turn 74 in 2 days time.  He is obese, bi-polar, and has chronic upper respiratory issues.  He'll likely survive one more term/Lane Bryant fashion cycle.  But that's about it.

Gov. Abbott is considerably younger at 66.5 years of age.  But people in his situation usually die prematurely.  

Make no mistake, they're going to wreak more havoc in their next term.  But I doubt they don't see much after 2030.  And by then, the demographic shift will be a more fuller swing than Dan Patrick at the Blue Oyster Club key party.

I think it’s an excellent idea with a broke -ass RNC to try to put every state in play, just to see money in crucial swing states be diminished because they feel the need to oppose Biden in not-so swing states.

I love how all the article says to describe their Medicare plan (which ultimately will raise premiums and out of pocket costs while prohibiting negotiating drug prices because they're in the pocket of big insurance and pharma) as "restructuring Medicare to compete with private options."

Not only does it fail to inform anyone on the specifics, but what the fuck does it even mean? Why does Medicare need to compete with insurance companies? This is at best an abortion of an attempt at describing the general aims of turning Medicare into "premium support." But, in reality, it's intentionally misleading. It's disgusting how this bullshit propaganda company gets away with calling themselves news while actively trying to keep their viewers uninformed.
