Rethugs Do Nothing, Say Nothing, To Limit Trump’s Dictatorial Reach. The criminal conspiracy that is the Rethuglican Party continues unabated.
Tennessee Rep. Rails Against Tampon Hoarders. Opposes a three-day sales tax break on feminine hygiene products b/c users might hoard them. And what? Sell ’em on E-Bay? I can’t even…
Bloomberg: End To Redlining Destroyed Economy. I know, I know, I might end up voting for him too. But he’s a plutocrat, and will always be a plutocrat. Just not as bad a plutocrat as Trump. Some black legislators see him as the practical alternative. While he may well be, can we at least hear from the guy instead of merely basking in the glow of his professionally-crafted ads? What if he bombs in his first debate? Then what?
The Globalization Backlash. When globalization fails billions of people, a backlash inevitably follows. An interesting think-piece.
Bernie: The Campaign Is The Message. He’s the frontrunner and, when you read something like this, you can understand why he could well remain the frontrunner. And, yes, even win.
Jane Brady: Go Fuck Yourself. Let’s get this straight. For over 50 years, the Rethuglican Party has exploited racial resentment as its ticket to electoral success. Jane Brady did so as Attorney General–pushing mandatory drug sentencing laws that were intended to, and succeeded in, incarcerating tens of thousands of minorities, most for the simple ‘crime’ of possession. She joined forces with the most racist Delaware legislators–Tom Sharp, Jim Vaughn (who appropriately has a prison named after him), and Wayne Smith, to browbeat legislators into passing this draconian legislation. In other words, she belongs under those same white Klan hoods in the cartoon that offended her (Spoiler Alert: It didn’t really offend her) every bit as much as Rush Limbaugh does. She, Limbaugh and most national Republicans built their careers on the backs of those who were victimized by their, wait for it, ilk. Delaware’s Rethuglican Party deserves her.
