the oligarchy is pushing ‘separate but equal’ back on us with government as their enforcement arm, unfortunately.

Because it would allow a fringe minority to do some pretty horrific things. Imagine if Republicans are at the convention and Democrats pass a liberal wish-list, impeach and remove the governor, etc. Imagine a small portion of the board of directors dissolving a company while everyone is sleeping. Quorum was invented in the middle ages precisely to prevent that sort of shit from happening.

What's happening now is certainly an abuse of parliamentary procedure, but it's far far better than the alternative.


you can still make is so a legislative majority is required, just not all of the legislature. if 7 out of 10 senators agree, why wait? america doesnt have enough gridlock?

Opponents of CRT are the ones saying separate but equal was ok and if you say otherwise you're racist against whites. That is why the people who are upset as the ones who are upset about a decades old theory nobody pays much attention to.

I think it's weird to teach kids that the FF were heroes like I was taught after learning more about them as an adult. The myth of the FF in America like the Santa claus myth but adults really hang onto it.

Cowardice is changing the election rules because you lose an election. What sure losers lol.

Obviously if there was integrity in the election they would not have lost and Donald Trump would be president. Fantastic thinking. More gnashing of teeth from the trailer parks.

the founding fathers were almost all good men, some truly great men, some heroes.

the talking point that many owned slaves and therefore cant be good people nor heroes is stupid.

Why is Andrew Jackson being taken off the twenty then?

And you super buy into the mythology. They were a diverse group of men with complicated lives and there is no way to know what kind of men they were.

We know some of them raped their slaves and sold their children, which is objectively evil of you buy into morality at all.

I'm not such a cultural relativist. John Brown was a better Founding Father than some, in his ineffective bipolar attempt to end slavery.

White men of the Confederacy literally considered themselves pharaohs, including incestuous relationships. Yes I get they were products of their time but there were also plenty of normal people there who did not rape people or have slaves.

People get angry at the suggestion that white men are not the heroes of history and bitch about a decades old academic theory that tucker told them about lol. I tend to my garden and come here to piss in the wind sometimes. Sometimes I piss all over an electric fence.

John Adams was a good man, and he did most of the work writing the Constitution as the US Constitution is based off the Constitution he wrote for his state. Jefferson? I dunno.

a little early for unrelated rants isnt it. what does santa, the founding fathers, and “changing election rules” (like mass vote by mail when the cdc said it was safe to vote in person) have to do with a governmental-enforced ‘crt’ which seeks to re-divide people on characteristics they have no control over?

nearly 30% (17/55) of the delegates to the first Continental Congress owned slaves. https://www.crf-usa.org/images/t2t/pdf/HowShouldWeJudgeOurNation.pdf
“Oh but ben franklin got the clap from a prostitute in france that makes him evil too”

then again this pro-crt group is the one aligned with people who say Abe Lincoln and Grant were “racist” and want the formers statues torn down, yet unironically worship a man who was in the kkk (Senator Byrd, mentor of the harris-biden administration) as the ‘Democratic party conscience of the Senate’

Excellence here is literally gas lighting you lol.

And yes our history is linked with what is going on Excellence. We never dealt with it and the reckoning is here it seems.

This is the first time in history that black people can say Hey this fucking sucked that this happened to us and is still affecting us and going in in a lot of ways without them being publicly murdered.

That isn't even hyperbole and being murdered is still on the table judging by tucker's show :(

what? the outcomes of the Civil War and Civil Rights Acts are ‘useless’ now? 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments mean nothing? i mean sure people like byrd and biden never wanted the latter but fortunately those efforts were squashed. if we “didnt deal with it” people like me wouldnt be allowed to exist in America, and we’d only have people like you running around

I happen to like the freedoms that integration provides, equality, and not judging people based on characteristics they have no choice over. unfortunately some do not share these values and seek to “correct” our rights via government-enforcement in our taxpayer-funded school systems

It's 2 things in my mind..
POC are finally fed up, and these fragile white crybabies cant deal with equality. They want the fat orange man back, because he made them all feel better about themselves as he vilified the people that scare old boomers.
So they turn here for redemption
there is ZERO proof any real voting issues.. Can you imagine being so in love with one politician that you want to make sure you have a better chances of re electing douche bags like that.
so you claim "foul" when there has proven to have never been any voting issue. even by your own "team"
You have a HUGE section of the population that doesn't even live in reality they are so upset about it.
pathetic losers.
