Iām not one of these people to talk blithely about civil war. I certainly donāt think weāve taken a lot of steps on the way to it. But when it becomes controversial to count all the ballots in a close election, thatās a step. Itās definitely a step.
Yeah. They canāt keep pushing the majority back against the wall like this. Itās grotesque.

Arrested for SWB
Senatoring while Black
Like African Americans havenāt gone to jail in Georgia over their rights before. If anyone knows how to handle it it is African Americans in the south. Theyāre used to it - alas.
Sadā¦ and TRUE
This stuff always reminds me of that line from I, Claudius: āLet all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch outā¦ā Although Iām no longer clear as to whether weāre uncovering and cleaning up formerly hidden corners of evil and corruption in this country, or seeing new and virulent growths of those things.
A step that has been taken by a lot of people, many people, who swore an oath to āsupport and defend the Constitution.ā As a worldly woman once said, ācuriouser and curiouser.ā
I donāt think this will take us to war but it might wake us up. There are plenty of reasonable people that will start seeing that what is happening is not right. We just need a few of them to cross over and join us.
Thereās a cool new word to describe a legislatorās act of calling for all votes to be counted: Treason.
Nor do I. But I damn sure want the vocal and silent GOP supporters to recognize and take responsibility for what they are supporting in their partyās platform which isā¦
- against freedom of speech and the press, calls press āenemy of the stateā
- against following ESTABLISHED LAWS for counting votes in elections
- daily screaming of unsubstantiated accusations (lies), knowing they are lies and not caring because they know their base believes
She spoke recently at a local Dem meeting. I thought she was measured, even kind of bland. But this is a nation unraveling. A state senator standing peacefully while black - of course she will be targeted.
Iām not sure. Much depends on how the news media reports on what is happening.
We have right wing media going full-on conspiracy theory which their consumers buy unquestioningly and then a msm which likes to act as if both sides are legitimate which dilutes the seriousness of these situations.
I have tons of respect and admiration for journalism but if the editors and producers donāt pull their heads out of their cocktail party asses, theyāre going to be major contributors to the fall of democracy.
But itās all boiling to the top and it willl soon be running over. So much so,the GOPers are going to be FORCED TO BACK DOWN!
I guess they donāt have a speech and debate clauseā¦
Looks like they are going to be forced to because we arenāt.
If every vote counts, you count every vote. Simple. Unless you are trying to actively disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters, which - they are.
I think itās āabort and defriendā the constitution. At least thatās what they thought when they took their oaths. Theyāre just owning up to said promises now.
Arrests like these are such stupid moves. It just shouts ādiscriminationā particularly if this Senator is credentialed to be in the building.
Classic Southern Stormtrooper move that will just add to the headlines.
