10. Republicans learned long ago that it is the accusation that matters.
Tue Nov 10, 2020, 06:40 PM

Republicans complained about liberal media bias and instead of pushing back because it wasn’t true, the mainstream media started jumping through hoops to avoid the accusation. That’s why we have both sides isms where the media treats egregious lies as a valid viewpoint juxtaposed against real facts. We should know by now that Republicans have no shame and they will do or say anything to stay in power. Unfortunately, they also have 71 million voters who agree that lying, cheating, and stealing an election are perfectly acceptable actions if they come out on top.

f you have a subscription to the Atlantic, or have any free articles left, this is an important read.
It's a powerful summary of the myriad, and incredibly effective ways Republicans are "subtracting" Democratic votes with tactics that, consistently and disproportionately, subtract black votes.

Ibram X. Kendi
A Campaign of Voter Subtraction

We must fight for every vote because many of those votes are going to be uncounted. This is not doom and gloom. It is the grim reality. Any state we have less than a 5% lead in is stealable.

Another highly recommended read from Kendi:
How to Be an Antiracist

The clean hands doctrine is based on the maxim of equity that states that one “who comes into equity must come with clean hands.” This doctrine requires the court to deny equitable relief to a party who has violated good faith with respect to the subject of the claim.

And then DEMAND they pay him without being able to present a winning ticket. Makes as much sense as this daily shit show.

Our Congressmen and women? Our media? Everybody's?

This needs to be our strongest message. We overcame their sabotage and still overwhelmingly won the election. Choke on it. We're not through with you if you didn't get the message the first time.

For Republicans/Conservative leaders, the only thing that matters is power. They believe they are entitled to is by divine right, so any kind of "rule breaking" is justified to take and keep their rightful place.

Thanks Sheshe.

Politics of an HOA board fighting ongoing between Trumper types and I the only member concerned about a budget. I'm being given the cold shoulder after they patronized me!! Horribly mirror-like.

Once they go through an extensive cult deprogramming procedure, read the Constitution and memorize most of it, do a tough exam on morals, social values, and the implications of the Constitution, and hand over their guns.

And do 6 months hard labor on a food producing farm somewhere near the Southern border alongside underpaid Mexican workers.

Then we might start to go easy on them.

But reporting to regular cult deprogramming sessions for the next 10 years will be a must. Just to keep those Repug ideals from resurfacing.

I will never forgive trump or the gop in power.

However if you are talking about The Lincoln Project that holds no political clout except for their words and powerful videos and voice, I stand with them every step of the way. They may be GOP yet have our backs more than some of our own. For now they are making ads to bring us together. When they stop so will my support.

Is a Lubbock, Texas radio station owner who is a full-fledged Nazi. Ask him. He won’t answer me on social media. If anyone can get a follow-up, I’d REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I even notified the local NBC affiliate of such chicanery and was immediately dismissed by News Director Abner Euresti. (Ask him) Lame Stream Media’s alive and well in The Hub City. Believe me.

They have dumb supporters, it's a problem.

I don't see a solution that isn't harsh AF.



And they count on THAT!
