Not That Mike Davis

Are we serious about putting another reality star in a job he can’t do?

@Acyn This administration’s outrage about fraud IS the fraud.

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.

Pretending that the confederate states weren’t giddy with the prospect of disenfranchising black voters after the Supreme Court decision is just so incredibly disingenuous.

BREAKING: AOC absolutely DOG-WALKS Senator Ted Cruz after he insulted her working class past as a bartender in a sneering line of attack. She certainly sounds like a president to us... "Congresswoman, real quick, I'm sorry to ask you about this, but Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. Any response to this Junior Senator from Texas," a reporter asked Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "I mean, listen, it's not a secret the disdain that Ted Cruz has for people who work working class jobs," said AOC. "It's not a secret that, you know, what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks, he thinks that we're less than him." "He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and never scrubbed a table, that that makes him better than someone who's actually had to work for a living," she continued. "And I think it's funny that he's been taking a government paycheck for twenty-three years, but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here." "And you know, if that's how he feels, that's how he feels. I don't take it personally. I'm okay with it," she added. In a recent podcast appearance, Cruz — who is best known these days for fleeing his constituents in Texas during a deadly winter storm to vacation in Cancun — attacked Ocasio-Cortez for daring to state the truth that billionaires "can't earn" that much wealth. He referenced her past employment as a bartender and said that it's "probably true" that people in that line of work can never earn a billion dollars. He added that she went from that job to "being a government employee and a parasite sucking on the taxpayer." The stunning irony here is, of course, that Cruz himself draws a taxpayer salary and has been doing so far longer than Ocasio-Cortez. The difference is that AOC actually works to improve the lives of her constituents while Cruz actively immiserates them on behalf of corporations and corrupt oligarchs. The congresswoman is also right about his underlying beliefs. Cruz, like so many Republican politicians, believes that the rich are inherently better than working class people. They view the vast swath of the American electorate as subhuman peons to be exploited and extracted from. Men like him should never be given power. Please ❤️ and share if you'd vote for AOC in a heartbeat!

Take a couple of minutes and listen to this Republican history teacher on why he opposes the South Carolina legislature redrawing maps to eliminate the one district that has black representation. We need more Republicans to speak out on this. Volume up!!

Don’t mess with American women.

BREAKING: PEDO PARTY! Corrupt MAGA Republican changes law to protect his own 18-year-old relative accused of raping a 13-year-old! In a stunning display of Republican hypocrisy, tolerance for sexual perversion and elite corruption, Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams quietly helped change state law to rescue his own teenage relative from decades in prison after the 18-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old junior high student. The teen, who is related to the powerful Republican leader, originally faced multiple first-degree felony charges of child rape and child sodomy, which could have meant 25 years to life and lifetime sex offender registration. But after Adams got involved, the Utah Legislature passed a convenient tweak that created a new lower charge specifically for 18-year-old high school students having sex with 13-year-olds. Two months later, prosecutors offered the connected teenager a sweetheart plea deal: guilty to reduced charges, just one week in jail (already served), no sex offender registration, and basically a slap on the wrist. The victim’s mother was blindsided. “I felt like I was punched in the gut,” she told the Salt Lake Tribune, adding that she believes her child was merely “an afterthought” while powerful people protected their own. She believes the system gave special treatment to the perpetrator because of who he’s related to. Republicans love to scream about “protecting children,” “law and order,” and pledge to be “tough on crime.” Yet when it’s one of their own powerful insiders facing consequences for the sexual abuse of a child, they rewrite the rules to make it go away. The party of Epstein. Adams claims he didn’t directly request the change, but everyone involved in the courtroom openly admitted the legislative tweak was the key to resolving the charges with a lenient deal. Wink, wink. The young man’s defense attorney Cara Tangaro even drafted the language of the amendment, and even told the judge the new law “changed everything.” Now, the 13-year-old victim and her family are left devastated, watching justice for the girl be denied so an connected 18-year-old could avoid real consequences. Republicans can blather all day about family values, but this story reveals the truth that for them, justice is only for the little people, and that sexual misconduct can be swept under the rug. No one should be above the law, especially not MAGA politicians and their families. If you agree, please like and share.

Democracy has always been under attack in our country, @marceelias says. Now is not the time to back down. Now is the time to fight back. “If we give up now, if we just lose hope, then we are doing Donald Trump’s bidding.”
