The “Granny Governor” of Alabama may be longing for the olden days of her youth when discrimination and disrespect were perfectly acceptable by hard-core conservatives… I guess those deplorable days of old aren’t in the past after all.

Who knows how the court will finally rule, but there are still a couple of InJustices (or more) that may sink the drug, not that they have a legitimate reason. This court doesn’t seem to care about legitimacy.

They’re Standing Up For Justice In America

These are the kind of stories that you don’t need to deep read in order to understand the totally reprehensible nature of what or who they are about….

There was The Iron Curtain and The Bamboo Curtain, now we have the Red Curtain…

All three have many things in common. Each was the outcome of an authoritarian government. Each was notorious for eliminating human rights. Each banned books and strictly controlled education. Each discriminated against minorities. Each restricted or eliminated voting rights. Each sought to control neighboring states. Each used lies and propaganda to indoctrinate their citizens. 

And, the vast majority of Americans overwhelmingly saw each of the previous two as the ultimate threat to democracy and the Free World.

Our democracy is now in peril, we have to take back our country and eliminate the Red Menace threatening our freedoms. Vote no to the Far Right at every opportunity.

It doesn’t matter what they’re running for; local school boards, city councils, mayor, district judge, state legislatures, governor, state Supreme Court, House of Representatives, US Senate or President… Vote Like Our Future Depends On It… Vote Against Tyranny.

Among the most insane rulings from the Supreme Court is Citizens United. People are People, PACs and corporations are not; both are no more than a legal entity on paper. In addition, dollars have no rights of free speech, yet they “buy” elections every year.

I think we should repeal Citizens United and place stricter limitations on political donations and spending. I believe every citizen has a right to donate as they like, but with a limited amount and an equal amount to others. Just because a person has more money than you doesn’t mean they should have a louder voice with their political dollars.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) has introduced s bill that would end corporate personhood with the goal of reversing Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the infamous Supreme Court decision that has unleashed a flood of corporate “dark money” into the U.S. election system, threatening to undermine democracy altogether.

“Corporations are not people and money is not speech,” Jayapal said in a statement. “In every election cycle since the disastrous Citizens United decision, we have seen more and more special interest dark money poured into campaigns across the country. My We the People Amendment returns the power to the people by finally ending corporate constitutional rights, reversing Citizens United, and ensuring that our democracy is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people — not corporations.”

Reminds Me Of The OJ Show…

PR and positioning galore. He’s criticizing everyone and everything, declaring his innocence and making a show of it all.

In this case and others to come, we might as well get ready for even more of his Spectacular Sh!t Show.

If you haven’t seen Lyndsey Graham’s pitiful plea for us to send our hard earned money to help a billionaire who’s gotten himself into legal troubles, take a look. I’m sure I can put my meager dollars to better use. It’s pathetic to say the least…
