Retired software thingy. An explorer without an obsession, so I’m an inch deep, but a mile wide. And a voice to match. No Republican is fit to hold public office.

Ah, hon, it's "equality politics", as in everyone would like to be treated equally, not redlined or over charged for being black, underpaid and overcharged for being female, unmarried for being gay, or being asked to show papers for being brown. Get with reality, dear.

And this is why we need to RETIRE “JIM CROW” and replace it with the Chief JustUs’s name:
“JOHN CROW”, the black color coming from his robes.
Place the damned blame where it belongs.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

Then hang the f’ing plaque that Congress had made to THANK the Capitol Police for protecting Congress-critters from being killed by 1500+ raving America-haters on Jan6.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

They also believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and #Drumpf’s ability to run a business.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Living Dem Presidents have spoken out against the fascism being installed in #Drumpf’s name.
Why not Bush Jr?
Because Cheney, who ran that Admin, won’t let him.
Why not?
Because #Drumpf is doing everything Cheney WANTES to do.
