GOP racism

Tennessee is spiking really badly right now. An anti-mask governor and legislature have given the state 59,546 COVID cases-- including 1,955 new cases on Friday, 1,460 new cases on Saturday-- and a rapidly rising 8,933 cases per million Tennesseans.

by NoahWell, tomorrow is the big day in Tulsa. Come for the racism! Stay for the plague! Or is it the other way 'round? I'm not so concerned about the red-hatted Bigot-Fest attendees getting COVID-19, but I am concerned about how many decent folks they may infect in the coming days. As I said yesterday, the virus, unlike republicans, does not discriminate.

by NoahThe Trumpanzee is certainly consistent. Just months into his fecal presidency, he placed the white supremacist tiki torch paraders of Charlottesville into his personal category of "very fine people" when one of their number murdered Heather Heyer by deliberately plowing his car into the crowd of people protesting a statue that commemorated a defender of slavery.

by NoahIt doesn't get much more cynical than a white supremacist president holding a meeting with some prominent African-Americans and turning and winking to the camera when they can't see him.

If you remember Strom Thurmond at all, you probably recall him as a senile, diaper-wearing far right Republican Senate pal of Joe Biden's, who died in 2003 (age 100)-- but that Republican part wasn't part of the equation until 1966. He was prominent politically decades earlier-- even as a presidential candidate. Earlier still, he was elected governor of South Carolina in 1946 as a Democrat (and with no opponent).

Sen. Stephen Huffman: so wrong... on so many levelsIn 1969, my girlfriend Martha and I were driving my VW van through a remote mountainous region of northeastern Morocco, far from the tourist destinations of Marrakech, Fès and Agadir. It was the dangerous bandit-infested, kif-growing Rif region in Al Hoceïma Province near Ketama.

There can be little doubt why the leakiest White House in living memory is so obsessed with stopping the constant flow of secret information to the press. Trump himself has been climbing the walls about the impending release (June 23) of The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, former national security advisor John Bolton's reportedly scathing tel-all about life in the dysfunctional White House.

by NoahBlack lives don't matter at FOX "News." That's something they have made clear time and time again, even before the Black Lives Matter phrase entered our lexicon. The idea that Black Lives Matter really sets them off. The fear of the very idea and their reaction to it is part of their sick religion of White Supremacy.

by NoahWell, Mr. Bunker Boy, you want your picture everywhere? I got your picture right here. Here you are going for a stroll on the Constitution in Lafayette Park, a people's park named after a man who came a great way just to fight tyrants like you. Secret Service aside, I see some of your White House Nazi scumbags right behind you, too.
