“Grand Old Old White People’s Party!”
Scum of the earth. Scourge of democracy. Assholes.
Can someone please explain to the voters who support these nutjobs that a constitution that only protects your gun rights, and nothing else, is not a constitution worth living under? Please?
I’ll admit that I’m not an expert of any kind on what can redacted in these types of FOIA requests, but can any of the lawyers here explain why they are able to redact content on something that is basically a policy proposal? I mean we aren’t talking protecting classified sources or personal information here, so how can they just black out the majority of the proposal?
Knowing Kobach, I’m surprised the whole thing wasn’t redacted - just one big black sheaf of paper. Like blacking out a tattoo…
I found myself thinking that we’ve crossed the event horizon where they can say and do anything they want without any repercussions. I was shocked when Price got in trouble for his egregious behavior, and then I reflected on how it came to pass that I was shocked that he faced actual consequences. (Although in firing cases like Price and idiots like Mooch and Spicey, etc, Trump probably gets major wood doing the deed… )
So I’ve redoubled my internal efforts at being outraged and fighting against any degree of normalization of these criminals, grifters, and psychotics.
No explanation would work, guns and protecting the privilege of white people, specifically men, is all they care about.
With a name like Kobach, he can’t be American.
Seconded. What is their justification for these redactions?
I think the TPM headline writers have a different definition of revealed than I do.
Well no, I seriously doubt Trump gets major wood doing anything which is one reason he is so generally horrible.
Agree. I suppose they’d argue that it was advice given to a president and therefore it ought to remain confidential and privileged . You know…protection of the Muses.
Kansas Kris Kobach is a fascist.
Remember Trump’s #1 rule: it’s ALL about Trump. Firings have nothing to do with incompetence, misdeeds or disagreement with the boss. It’s continually getting more attention than Trump. Tillerson won’t be fired for calling Trump a moron. He’s “resign” because his name is in the news much more than Trump. Small hands, big, big ego. Don’t overshadow the brand. Or you’re fired. By a Trump toadie.
