Fragile Bird Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 This may come as a shock, but I didn't realize Kris Kobach, the general counsel of Build the Wall, was the former Sec. of State for Kansas, the one behind the Crosscheck bullshit. Also, the guy who was appointed by Trump and was supposed to prove that millions voted fraudulently in the 2016 election, thereby giving Clinton a 'fake' majority of the popular vote. So when I read that Kobach in previous interviews said he discussed the Wall project several times with Trump, and Trump gave enthusiastic blessing to it, I can trust those interviews over Trump now saying he never liked the idea. It's just that there are so many crooked Republicans, I can't keep them straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't think you'll regret reading this essay) Seems hard to deny the link between people who readily give up their money to right-wing mail schemes and the QAnon supporters of today. Seems like a very similar psychological profile.

Fragile Bird Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 I just saw a story about the Tennessee governor signing a bill into law that expanded the number of offences which trigger the loss of voting rights. Honestly, how the flying fuck can you guys call yourself a democracy when states can take away a person's right to vote? All Canadians have the right to vote under our Charter of Rights, even prisoners and federal court judges (they previously weren't allowed to vote!)

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'd argue that the 3/5's compromise still exists in its own way. It's still a democracy for white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point on prisoners is fair and an important facet of subjugation that should be emphasized, but other than that the absolute right to vote is pretty damn well codified here as well. It's simply concerted efforts over the past 150 years to circumvent that edict have been quite successful, in large part due to the federalist setup. Don't worry though, neo-fascism will be coming to a theater near you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, other than all the Trumps that's a pretty standard lineup. Surprised he's letting Tiffany speak, she seemed to be persona non grata last campaign.

Fragile Bird Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Lol, the WaPo is reporting Mary Trump secretly recorded 15 hours of conversations with her aunt, Trump’s older sister, Marianne, the judge, in which the aunt says he had “no principles” and “you can’t trust him”. She didn’t know her niece was recording her. Many of the unattributed quotes in Mary Trump’s book come from these tapes. At least part of one tape is available on line.
