@SenatorTimScott
is a liar and @LeaderMcConnell
's puppet.
His proposed police "reform" was a joke.
Among other things, it allowed police to still choke people to death without any consequences.
Now he wants to blame Democrats.
Hey Tim, sell your bullshit elsewhere. Sellout.

Scott, however, is a special kind of sellout.

(21,440 posts)The goal of the GQP is to delay everything until Kornacki time, which is fast approaching.
The biggest threat to our democracy is a small number of Democrats who have no urgency, have no realization that our democracy is hanging by a thread. This small number of Democrats does not realize that we only have 1 choice, get rid of the filibuster or lose our democracy. It is really that simple. If anyone tells me I am bashing Democrats, go to hell, if anyone tells me I need to relax, go to hell, if anyone tells me all we have to do is GOTV and all will be fine, go to hell. We also need to add 4 more SC justices.
The truth hurts, people. We need bold action to beat back a fascist autocratic takeover of our democracy. The GQP is gerrymandering as I type this, it doesn't have to gerrymander that many districts to regain the House and once they do that the investigations of the coup will stop. God help us if the GQP ever retakes the Senate because it will for sure do away with the filibuster in a New York minute.
I hope I scared people, I hope they will alert on me. I will continue to push our Democratic leaders.
Fascism takes control of a country because of apathy, because of people becoming forlorn. Time is ticking in the fascists favor, nothing gets done in an election year. The fascist coup was not defeated on 1/6 it has grown stronger and continues to grow stronger.
Oh and please don't insult my intelligence by telling me that the fraudit in Arizona was a big victory for us. Those people had zero intention of claiming that Trump won Arizona. Those people got exactly what they went after, distrust of our elections. Our DOJ looked the other way when the Cyber Ninjas violated federal law so now they have moved on to Wisconsin, to Pa., to Texas and no one so far has been held accountable. Ballots, voting systems and other election materials were given to an unknown 3rd party were no longer in the possession of election officials - Title 52 - Voting and Elections - Subtitle I and II, and we did nothing.
President Biden gets it, he is doing all that he can, but he needs help. The House gets it and it has acted, but it needs help.

(21,440 posts)will he even run again or is he going to retire? Why in heaven's name do we allow money in politics? When I served on our local borough council back in the 70's I was paid 20 dollars a month, if I attended the 1 monthly council meeting. I could have gone to Rec board meetings, to see a neighbor's catch basin, to check on the sewage treatment plant, to write up a flood plain ordinance for our borough, but if I couldn't make that monthly meeting, I made nothing. I wasn't in it for the money, too bad the higher one gets in politics that notion is gone.

(21,440 posts)our democracy won't be coming back for decades, for generations. People just don't get it. We won't be allowed to go on DU and bash Dear Leader. Maybe we Democrats will all end up on an island, Haiti, like in the book A Brave New World? People who don't conform, toe the line, end up in Haiti. Disclaimer, I just donated to Haiti.
