My god, indeed

Black men voting against a black woman. Unbelievable. Hispanics voting to round up and deport other Hispanics. Insane. White women voting to take rights away from their daughters and granddaughters. Seriously, what the actual fuck America? My god.

Who'd have ever guessed Mitch was a racist, too?

The end game

 

Republicans and southerners are still fighting to continue slavery

Frank Niceley, a republican state senator from Tennessee, took time this week on the floor of the Tennessee legislature to tell his constituents that the U.S. Civil War was still being fought and the South was "winning" (which should come as a hell of a surprise to Robert E. Lee, the leader of the Confederate Army who surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, and is currently rotting in hell for being a racist slave owner and a traitor).

While it would be easy to point out that Mr. Niceley's definition of "winning" would include vastly underpaying Tennessee's workers, his state being dependent on the federal government's largesse for its financial survival, and Tennessee's poverty level ranking in the top ten of U.S. states, the larger question--and especially so for African-Americans--is what Mr. Niceley is so obviously beating around the bush about:  the desire of certain southerners--and also of the republican party's base voters--to see a return to slavery, especially one that once again puts African-Americans in chains.

In the end, America's Civil War was fought to keep people of color under the thumb of Southern slavery, and that is a battle that Southerners and the republican party are still fighting for one hundred  and fifty-six years after real Americans ended the scourge of the slave trade in America.

The what the fuck? stat of the day

52 years and not one whit better

 From the Brookings Institute:  the four hundred richest American billionaires hold more wealth than all ten million Black American households combined.

Keep in mind that is all Black American households--that doesn't just mean my neighbors across the street.  It includes fabulously successful Black Americans--Jay-Z and Beyonce, Rihanna, Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Cory Booker, Maxine Waters, to name but a very few. 

And it means that not only are Black Americans a long way from being equal in the eyes of the law, but they're a long way from economic equality, too.

308,000+ Dead Americans Because of Donald Trump's Incompetence

Homeless on the range

Add caption

The latest victim in the republican party's war against humanity are the homeless.  Fox News, taking its cue from Adolph Hitler's adopted son Donald Trump, has been excoriating the homeless as proof positive that Democratic policies of socialism and safety nets are a massive failure, and as a means to drive a bigger wedge between urban and rural Americans.

Leaving aside the fact that homelessness is proof positive of the failures of both capitalism and free markets to lift all boats in a rising tide (among many, many others), apparently conservatives are worried that promoting hatred among their followers toward Muslims, Latinos, African-Americans, Women, and the LGBTQ community isn't going to be enough for Herr Trump to win re-election so they're adding even more Americans to their campaign to Make America Hate Again.

Before you know it, they'll be down to nothing but white males...oops, too late.

Fuck Donald Trump.
