Tonight is election night here in Philly, and as I stated in previous posts, it seems that we are heading for a showdown between the orange one and Hillary in November. With all due respect to the political Batman and Robin, all the partnering and scheming in the world will not stop trump's big mo.
Sorry folks, there are just too many clueless people in America. Every angry white man in America will be pulling the lever for trump, and those who are not already registered are breaking their necks to get on the voter rolls.
The two leading candidates are already looking around for a running mate.
Hillary is thinking male Latino, and trump is thinking, woman. Any woman.
Finally, speaking of elections, shout out to the governor of Virginia for restoring the voting rights of over 200,000 felons.
"Gov. Terry McAuliffe will allow more than 200,000 ex-cons in Virginia to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election, one of the biggest actions taken by a state to instantly restore voting rights.
The change applies to all felons who have completed their sentences and been released from supervised probation or parole. The Democratic governor’s decision particularly affects black residents of Virginia: 1 in 4 African Americans in the state has been permanently banned from voting because of laws restricting the rights of those with convictions.
“Once you have served your time and you’ve finished up your supervised parole. . .I want you back as a full citizen of the commonwealth,” McAuliffe said. “I want you to have a job. I want you paying taxes, and you can’t be a second-class citizen.” [Source]
That's a beautiful thing. True democracy in action.
Contrast that to the federal Judge in North Carolina who upheld the voting rules laws in that state which makes it harder for citizens to vote.
"The opinion, by Judge Thomas D. Schroeder of Federal District Court in Winston-Salem, upheld the repeal of a provision that allowed people to register and vote on the same day. It also upheld a seven-day reduction in the early-voting period; the end of preregistration, which allowed some people to sign up before their 18th birthdays; and the repeal of a provision that allowed for the counting of ballots cast outside voters’ home precinct.
It also left intact North Carolina’s voter identification requirement, which legislators softened last year to permit residents to cast ballots, even if they lack the required documentation, if they submit affidavits.
The ruling could have significant repercussions in North Carolina, a state that Barack Obama barely won in 2008, and that the Republican Mitt Romney barely won four years later.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which sits in Richmond, Va., will be the first to consider an appeal, which the law’s opponents said they would pursue." [Source]
Stay vigilant and engaged people. There are a lot of things going on in this country which you need to be know about.
I am watching Donald trump's victory speech now, and he is telling his supporters that he will bring back jobs and make America great again, and blah blah blah.
Hillary's speech will be next.
Buckle up people.

Why would they try to appeal? Someone who has served their debt to society deserves to have their franchise re established. They'd better be careful because if they lose it will become law in all states right?
ReplyDelete"With all due respect to the political Batman and Robin, all the partnering and scheming in the world will not stop trump's big mo."
ReplyDeleteNo, the grand Kasich-Cruz alliance, even if it holds together, won't make a damn bit of difference. And it won't hold together anyway, because those guys are too self-serving to behave altruistically.
However, Trump's "big mo" may still not be enough. Even with his big score tonight, his delegate count is still below where it needs to be to clinch it outright. The brokered convention fistfight scenario is still a very real possibility.
"Gov. Terry McAuliffe will allow more than 200,000 ex-cons in Virginia to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election, one of the biggest actions taken by a state to instantly restore voting rights."
Brace for another racist freakout, everybody. You can expect lots of language about Democrats and their civilization-destroying, hug-a-thug depravity.
I saw Hillary's speech and, well, be careful what you ask for. Last night Bernie, who I really like, said that it wasn't up to him to get his supporters to back Hillary if she wins, that"s her job. Well tonight that was exactly what she was doing in her speech. It was so weird seeing her around a bunch of people who really like her, she seemed a little uncomfortable with it. I thought it was good to see, after seeing her get shit on for 20 years, but that's just my feeling. The contrast between her and Trump who went on and on about how fucked up everything he sees is was striking.
ReplyDeleteI want to stipulate an added condition about your description of Trump's voters, though: not just angry old white guys, I know plenty of those who won't touch Trump with a ten foot pole; stupid, terrified, angry old white guys. You know, the product that FOX News manufactures.

"Why would they try to appeal? Someone who has served their debt to society deserves to have their franchise re established. They'd better be careful because if they lose it will become law in all states right?"
ReplyDeleteNo, the appeal was not about the ex-con voting rights in Virginia.
It was about the voting restrictions the Republicans passed in North Carolina (reducing ease of registration, shrinking the polling period, demanding voter ID -- the usual undemocratic bullshit intended to keep Dems from voting). Democrats sued to stop those provisions and lost, so they are appealing that decision.
Kind of figured that's what he meant. That makes more sense.
Delete"I want to stipulate an added condition about your description of Trump's voters, though: not just angry old white guys, I know plenty of those who won't touch Trump with a ten foot pole; stupid, terrified, angry old white guys."
ReplyDeleteI'm going to second the stupid part, but add that it's not just guys. Dumb, racist white women abound as well, and they shouldn't get a pass for their shameful part in his ascendency.
It must be said that Trump, unsurprisingly after all of his sexist crap he spews, is doing worse with women than men. But there is still no shortage of ladies showing up to his rallies to have the Trumpster autograph their boobs, like he is the ugliest, lamest rock star in history.
I guess they can live with Trump's lack of respect for women, so long as he's willing to give the scary Mexicans and Mooslums a proper kicking.
I made popcorn for this show. On the stove, with butter and everything.
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking a fine little vintage with it. It's called "NeoCon and BLM Tears (bottled 4/26/2016)".

No it's called moonshine and you're trying to get your mother drunk so you can get some more of that smelly cootch.
"I'm drinking a fine little vintage with it. It's called 'NeoCon and BLM Tears (bottled 4/26/2016).'"
ReplyDeleteYeah? I've got a bottle I'm saving for November. It's a "Racists Lose Again" cabernet, to be drunk while listening to the collective scream of the Trump hillbillies as they come to terms with the dawning of the Age of Hillary.
I hate every motherfucker right now.
ReplyDeleteSo what makes Rhode Island so Bernie-friendly?
ReplyDelete"So what makes Rhode Island so Bernie-friendly?"
ReplyDelete1) It's a bit whiter than all of the other states that voted today, besides Pennsylvania. You may have noticed that Bernie has generally not done as well as Hillary among non-white voters.
2) Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut all have closed primaries -- only registered Democrats can vote for Bernie in those states. But Rhode Island allows independents to vote (although, weirdly, they are then henceforth forcibly registered for whichever party they requested a ballot for).
Bernie gets a meaningful chunk of his support from left-wingers who are pissed off that the Democratic Party as a whole is not as leftish as they are, and who therefore refuse on principle to register as Democrats. These people were naturally unable to vote for Bernie in any state today except Rhode Island.
Most rapists, murderers and chomos vote Democrat so it makes sense for the left to support letting them vote. No wonder the left supports reduced sentences and doing everything they to get them out of prison.
ReplyDeleteAccording to obama's DOJ and every other study done, blacks are the stupidest voters out there.
ReplyDeleteThey are the ones who thought obama was their messiah and he was gonna pay their rent and give them obama cash.
Just the other day their was a town hall event held to rally those against the common sense North Carolina voting law. Too bad you had to show a proper ID to get in.

ReplyDelete"the dawning of the Age of Hillary."
So Hillary is going to be the next messiah for you on the left? Seems like after obama, you on the left would have learned your lessons about worshiping false gods.
I'll be interested to see if Hillary can win the states that Bill won 20 years ago. I'll also be interested to see which blue or swing states Trump can flip to him.

ReplyDeleteHow much would someone have to hate America to want Hillary Clinton to be the President?
Progressivism is a intellectual cancer, a cultural death wish.

Quote Little Jimmie Bold
ReplyDelete"That video alone completely justifies approaching Rice with guns drawn, and shooting if he failed to follow orders."
Well no it does not. The police were told by the original complainant that the gun was probably a toy, they chose to execute a 12 year old kid within two seconds of arriving at the scene. Brandishing or open-carrying, that's a spectacularly quick choice of violence.
They then handcuffed his (unarmed) sister rather than attempt any kind of first aid. Were they worried she was going to beat them up? The kid died the next day.
This was a judicial execution of a 12 year old child, if those cops had done that in the UK they would be serving a life prison sentence right now.
Like far-Right types everywhere you claim to stand for the right of the individual against the State, but in reality no state-sanctioned violence against the proletariat is so violent, so extreme and so vicious that you won't tie yourself in knots to support it.
"Well no it does not. The police were told by the original complainant that the gun was probably a toy, they chose to execute a 12 year old kid within two seconds of arriving at the scene. Brandishing or open-carrying, that's a spectacularly quick choice of violence."
ReplyDeleteActually, I've gotta correct you on that part, PC. The 911 caller told the dispatcher than there was a possibility that the gun was a toy -- however, that information was not passed on to the cops. It might have saved Tamir Rice's life if it had been. I'm not sure, but I think the dispatcher may have been fired for her handling of the call.
Anyway, the dispatcher's errors don't fully mitigate the cops' behavior, which was extremely negligent. Even if the kid had been holding a gun, there was no imminent threat to anyone's life when they arrived. He was alone in the park. And they didn't have to pull up immediately next to him; they could have hailed him from a safe distance. They gave him no time to react to their commands, just pulled up and instantly shot him.
...in an 'Open Carry' state.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK they let muslims rape children.. So STFU. Tamir's actions is what caused the police to have to send him to his maker.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK they let muslims rape children.
ReplyDelete-----------
In the US white men rape babies.....so there is that.
I'll happily take Trump over Hillary as the next President. I'm not uneducated, racist, or poor.
ReplyDeleteI despise Hillary and the multi-millions in wealth she and Bill have garnered by selling their political influence. They are despicable.
Anon above, as a starting point for your research on Mr. trump, I would like to suggest that you start with Trump University.

ReplyDeleteWatch the video. Loehmann exiting the vehicle puts himself in point blank range of the presumed active shooter. What is the likelihood of him taking that course of action if he was not damn sure that the weapon was in fact a fake?
A crook or a Nazi...what a choice!
ReplyDeleteBTW, aren't these EX-felons? Why does the media call them felons if they have served their time?
"Watch the video. Loehmann exiting the vehicle puts himself in point blank range of the presumed active shooter. What is the likelihood of him taking that course of action if he was not damn sure that the weapon was in fact a fake?"
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't make much sense. If he knew the weapon was definitely a fake, why shoot Rice at all?
You're saying they shot him just for fun? C'mon, not too realistic.
MOT, he mighthave shot him because of poor training and he was "color aroused". Remember, this same officer was rejected by another police force because of his mental makeup.

ReplyDeleteWhy shoot Rice at all? This is an interesting question but first watch the video and convince yourself that he had to know there was no threat. From there, we can consider the question of why shoot Rice at all, and other interesting questions, such as, Why 4 NYPD strangled an obese man who couldn't get out of his own way much less pose a threat? Why in North Charleston Walter Scott was shot to death while running away? Why in Chicago Laquan McDonald was shot 17 times while walking away? Why 4 NYPD shot Amadou Diallo 41 times while brandishing a wallet?
ReplyDelete"That doesn't make much sense. If he knew the weapon was definitely a fake, why shoot Rice at all?
ReplyDeletehe mighthave shot him because of poor training and he was "color aroused"."
Or maybe because Rice was a grinning moron who reached for his gun instead of putting his hands up? Like this moron just the other day in Bodymore, Murderland:
"BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Police say an officer shot and wounded a 13-year-old who refused to drop a BB gun that was a replica of a semiautomatic pistol.
.... the teen will survive.
.... the officers identified themselves and the teenager took off running.
Davis says officers caught up with the teen and ordered him to drop the gun. The commissioner says the boy did not, and one officer shot him in the leg.
Davis says he looked at the replica after the shooting and could not tell it wasn’t a real gun."
It's obvious that many, if not most, Blacks have no clue about how to act with or around guns. This is why guns looks so "racist" to you; there's always trouble when you mix guns and Blacks, while Whites have few problems with them.
If Black Lives Really Matter, how about this bit of common-sense gun control: Blacks do not own guns, do not touch guns and do not talk about guns. Period. There are no guns in Blackistan. Stop and frisk is the rule. You put up a picture of yourself holding a gun on Faceborg or Snapchat, and your house gets searched top to bottom for guns and you go to jail; you rap about guns, ditto. Bye-bye, thug pictures. Bye-bye, gangsta rap. Bye-bye, drive-by shootings.
You MUST ban guns in Blackistan. It's For The Children!
