Long story short.

Soros doesn't know how to pick winners in the legal community.

Shocking, TN lawmakers expel the two black representatives while sparing the white woman.

 

A tale as old as time...

[Zorral]

They are creating a new generation of Black Civil Rights stars, in the state that assassinated Martin Luther King.

Those videos we're seeing out of that chamber today are amazing.

Those videos we're seeing from outside that chamber of young people who know they are targets any old time of gun violence while the state's so-called leaders say they aren't going to do a thing about it -- They have gone over the edge.  Paris communards comin' for ya all.  And this is TN, so the communards are or can be armed just as you are, neo Bedford Forrests.

Young protesters in the statehouse defended the Tennessee Three, as they have become known, saying: “You ban books, you ban drag—kids are still in body bags!” After the votes to expel, the chants changed to “F*ck you, fascists!”

They will never forget the response was to the plea to do what it takes to get lethal weapons out of the possession of all and sundry to keep our school kids from being killed -- "We're not going to do that."

I'm just happy people are starting to wake up. My handle from high school was and will always be FascismYouCanVotFor. 

Or as the intro tells you...

Justice Clarence Thomas says trips with billionaire didn’t need to be disclosed at the time

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/07/politics/clarence-thomas-disclosures-supreme-court/index.html

Quote

 

Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday that he did not disclose luxury travel paid for by a Republican donor because he was advised at the time that he did not have to report it.

In a rare statement sent via the Supreme Court’s public information office, Thomas said that the trips he and his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, took with the donor Harlan Crow and his wife – whom Thomas describes as among his family’s “dearest friends” – were the “sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends” that he was advised did not require disclosure.

As a lawyer ... shouldn't he know better than that?

[Rorshach]

Reckon the follow-up question should be "do you often rely on bad advice when doing your job?"

Why? Is he going to have any punishment for the last 20 years of taking absurdly lavish vacations and other gifts? Why would he bother doing anything here when he knows nothing bad will happen to him?

[Rorshach]

He won't do anything more, I see no reason to expect that from him.

I would expect the media to ask, though, to at least show how he avoids answering.

He can literally just make a video saying “I curate my judicial decisions for money and satisfy my own pet bigotries.”

And not a a damn thing would happen to him.

Pretty much. For all the corruption we complain about, he's as guilty as the worst offenders, and if a Democrat were to expand the court as President they should only have to point at him and say "try me."

It's a non-stop tsunami of conscious cruelty and hypocrisy all across the fascist legislators in the USA, you name it as a way to deny, hurt, humiliate, denigrate, while enriching Themselves, TheyAreThere!

It's a crime they refer to someone's horse. A horse is not slave.
