So yesterday we had this:
Activist Judge Throws the Fugitive Texas Democrats a Lifeline
Gov. Greg Abbott has officially called another special session, forcing the Texas Democrats who fled to block a voter integrity bill to continue their foolhardy charade. But now, an activist judge has stepped in to throw them a lifeline. The Democrat (Judge) has signed an order to block enforcement of the arrest warrants put out for the Texas Democrats. Those arrests are allowed under the Texas Constitution as a way to force the appearance of lawmakers who refuse to show up to do their jobs.
Basically a judge provided a two week window where Democrats could conceivably return home, not have to go to session and also not be arrested. The concept is that this same Judge could conceivably extend that two weeks indefinitely The reason why Democrats have fled Texas repeatedly is that not attending legislative sessions is actually against the law and staying in the state makes them a wanted criminal who could be arrested. The order would appear to make it okay for these Democrats to come home and still not go to work.
But today we have this:
Texas Supreme Court: Gov. Abbott Can Defund Legislature BranchThe Texas Supreme Court rejected the Texas state Democrats’ request to overturn Gov. Greg Abbott’s veto on funding the legislature branch. he Democrats argued Abbott violated the constitution and separation of powers. Abbott cut the funding after the Democrats fled to D.C. to avoid doing their job. They disagreed with voting legislation making it harder to cheat.
However, according to the Texas Supreme Court, if Democrats do not come back into session then the entire Texas legislative branch will be defunded at the end of September. So it looks like the shit is about to hit the fan either way. Abbot and the Republicans will not address the bill that would replace the funding until the voting legislation is voted on.
Secondly, the district judge who "threw the Democrats a lifeline" will likely be overturned even before getting to the Texas Supreme Court. The law is the law is the law, and a Judge ultimately has no real authority to change legislative laws. This one is pretty clear. So that victory will ultimately be short lived.
Ultimately the Texas Democrats will be required to leave the state for good (or be arrested upon return) or they can simply not get paid or not have real jobs as legislators if they refuse to come back and actually do those jobs. This will not end well for them. The longer they hold out, the more humiliating their return and eventual cave will be.

You support him because you don't care about the fundamental right to choose our leaders.
Real Republicans like Cheney are patriotic Americans who believe in the fundamental principles of the founding fathers.
Texas especially, is moving to the center, and the Republicans know that turnout will defeat them for a generation. Because of the changing demographics.
In the last few months I have come to believe that you are an authoritarian person. It's not race related.
But I know enough about history and I feel that if the Republicans succeed, the minority will have total control over the institutions.
The hard right wing, wants to get rid of the FBI and turn the DOJ back into the lawyer for the President.
Even though Bill Barr refused Trump's demands to arrest Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, and the news that has come out, Trump almost staged a coup.
Nursing home Roger is your response.
The Senate is voting right now
Sleepy Joe Biden is fulfilling his campaign promises on the campaign trail.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A $1 trillion infrastructure package that is a top priority for U.S. President Joe Biden secured enough votes to pass the Senate on Tuesday, a victory for the White House and the bipartisan group of senators who spent months negotiating it.
The Republicans are going to bury the Democrats in the mid-terms. Roger Is in a panic.
Texas especially, is moving to the center, and the Republicans know that turnout will defeat them for a generation. Because of the changing demographics.
Complete and utter bullshit. A fucking myth on stilts. LEGAL Latino voters remain solidly conservative, so there's yet another "generation where the GOP was supposed to be wandering in the wilderness" that will never fucking happen.
Much more meaningful than you understand senseless, it might help the Democrats to keep the majority in both houses..
The Senate voted 69-30 to pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan
The bipartisan bill includes $550 billion in new spending and focuses on “hard” infrastructure projects, like roads, bridges, airports, clean water and electric vehicles
The measure now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration
The Senate will immediately launch take up Biden’s next package, the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation measure which
The final vote on the bill, known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, was 69-30, with 19 Republicans joining all 50 Democratic Senators to support the bill. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the Senate as the bill passed.
Notably, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. voted to pass the bill, while members of his leadership team, Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and John Thune, R-S.D., opposed the bill. Other Republicans to vote yes on the bill included Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
The bipartisan bill, which now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration, includes $550 billion in new spending and focuses on “hard” infrastructure projects, like roads, bridges, airports, clean water and electric vehicles.
"It’s been a long and winding road, but we have persisted and now we have arrived," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor before the vote. "There were many logs in our path, detours along the way, but the American people will now see the most robust injection of funds into infrastructure in decades."
"It's been a long time coming," he added.
All told, the bill will provide:
$110 billion for roads, bridges and other major projects
$11 billion for road safety
$39 billion to modernize public transit
$66 billion for passenger and freight rail
$15 billion for electric vehicles, buses and charging infrastructure
$25 billion for airports
$17 billion for ports
$50 billion for water infrastructure
$55 billion for clean water efforts, like replacing lead pipes
$65 billion for high-speed internet and broadband infrastructure
$21 billion to aid environmental clean-up
$73 billion for power infrastructure
Why didn't Trump resign for similar actions!????
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday he will resign in two weeks because of a sexual harassment scandal that has crippled his administration.
Coumo resigned

Trump Blasts McConnell Over Infrastructure Bill
August 10, 2021 at 12:02 pm EDT By Taegan
Former President Trump
slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as “overrated” due to his support of the bipartisan infrastructure package, The Hill reports.
Said Trump:
“Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow.”
He added:
“I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politics—now I don’t have to be quiet anymore.”
_______
LOL.
SO SAYS ONE OF THE MOST DISMALLY RATED PRESIDENTS WE HAVE EVER HAD.
Many Republicans wish Trump would JUST SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.
Ok alky,
you just listed $547B of a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR porkulous spending bill.
So what are we pissing the other $453 BILLION on?
LOL. Everything about this "administration" is a fucking FRAUD.
$1.2 Trillion Bill, at least get the amount right.
Less then half hoes to true infrastructure.
Cruz won by 3%.
If the Republicans don't succeed the African Americans will get the Democrats in power for decades.
Because the women suburban voters voted against him and for Biden...
Coumo’s resignation is just the tip of the iceberg that will sink the Democrats.
GOOD NEWS! CHARIOT'S A-COMIN!~!
Senate Passes Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan
August 10, 2021 at 11:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
The Senate passed
a roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal, a significant win for President Biden and the first step on his top legislative priority.
Washington Post: “The 69-30 vote follows weeks of turbulent private talks and fierce public debates that sometimes teetered on collapse, as the White House labored alongside Democrats and Republicans to achieve the sort of deal that had eluded them for years.”
New York Times: “The measure now faces a potentially rocky and time-consuming path in the House, where the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the nearly 100-member Progressive Caucus, have said they will not vote on it unless and until the Senate passes a separate, even more ambitious $3.5 trillion social policy bill this fall.”
Axios: “But the large margin of votes for the bill — 19 Senate Republicans voted in favor, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — could make it harder for House progressives to dismiss outright.”

Democrats’ Two-Bill Plan Looks Like a Winner
August 10, 2021 at 10:11 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Jonathan Bernstein:
“Of course, given the tiny margins Democrats hold in both chambers, it wouldn’t take a large faction to derail things. One stubborn senator, or fewer than half a dozen representatives, will do.
“Still, there are no obvious dealbreaker provisions so far, it seems like Democrats in both chambers want to make this work and the two-bill plan provides incentives for everyone to stay on board. And while the size of the bill may make some moderate liberals nervous, it also means that there are a lot of Democrats with something they really want in one bill or the other.”

SALT Fight Headed for Reconciliation Showdown
August 10, 2021 at 9:18 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Bloomberg:
“The budget blueprint for that package, released by Senate Democrats on Monday, explicitly provided for making the SALT deduction more generous.
“They argue it prompts wealthier people to move to low-tax places like Florida and Texas, which hurts their state’s ability to fund robust social services, an issue that should be a concern to both moderates and progressives.
“Liberals counter that the deduction aids higher-income taxpayers, and shouldn’t be a priority given greater need to enhance federal support for lower-income families in the social-spending focused bill. It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to restore the write-off to pre-Trump levels, with more than half of those benefits flowing to households earning at least $1 million.”

House Progressives May Ransom Infrastructure Bill
August 10, 2021 at 7:11 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Jonathan Chait:
“It’s not unusual for progressive Democrats to threaten to withhold their votes in an effort to win concessions. They make these threats all the time, and almost always have to go along in the end with whatever deal the moderates have signed onto. But this time, progressives have real leverage.
“The progressive goal shouldn’t be to sink the infrastructure bill or even to alter it, but to pressure moderate Democrats to support the reconciliation bill. The House progressives have been demanding a vote on the reconciliation bill before passing the infrastructure bill, but the sequence itself is probably not the important thing. What matters is getting private assurances on the contours of a deal from the moderates before the left supplies the votes to pass the infrastructure bill.”
Senators Get Antsy for Recess
August 10, 2021 at 7:07 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Playbook:
“It’s about time. After months of haggling, the chamber is expected to pass the BIF today at 11 a.m., then move fairly quickly to consider Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated late Monday night that he thought both sides would agree to forgo the 50 allowable hours of debate. That would allow the chamber to start their vote-a-rama today and get out of town ASAP.
“But it’s the Senate, y’all. And all it takes is one senator to slow things down.”
What Are Democrats Doing on the Debt Limit?
August 10, 2021 at 7:04 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Punchbowl News:
“The White House’s theory is this: this debt was racked up under former President Donald Trump, and Democrats are not going to let Republicans just hang it around their necks. Some in the White House seem to think 10 Senate Republicans will budge and vote for the debt limit if it’s twinned with a government funding bill next month.
“Democrats are playing the same hand they did in 2011 — saying the debt limit is a joint responsibility that both parties own equally. But the politics are different this time. Republicans are in the minority in the House and Senate, and the Republican Party is a much different party than it was a decade ago. The Tea Party looks tame compared to what happened under Trump. Plus, after the aforementioned bipartisan victories (see above), McConnell’s GOP allies seem to think he has incentive to hold his party against the debt limit and let the Democrats figure it out on their own.”
“To the White House and some Democrats, slapping it onto reconciliation was a political loser. The administration feared that adding the debt limit in reconciliation would’ve spooked House Democratic moderates and given them a reason to vote against the upcoming budget resolution.”
Provide reasonable doubt but you will insult me and not provide the numbers.

Cuomo Resigns
August 10, 2021 at 12:12 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D)
resigned after the state attorney general said he violated sexual harassment laws, the New York Times reports.
Cuomo called for a “seamless” transition as Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) takes over.
It’s a remarkable turn of events for a governor who was hailed a national leader just a year ago during the coronavirus pandemic.
HE JUST DID WHAT WOMAN ABUSER TRUMP SHOULD HAVE DONE.
I have mentioned this before. My neighbor was a Captain in the Rapid City police department, molested a woman I still know, stating when she was about 13.
She has completed recovered and is a successful businesswoman.
James doesn't understand that the 10 plus million able bodied workers that are currently are not paying into Socialist insecurity and medicaid hurts those systems.
Cuomo is about Cuomo. Not Trump. Just once I'd like to see a democrat discuss a problem issue without trying to shift it to Trump.

From the President's website.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will:
Improve healthy, sustainable transportation options for millions of Americans by modernizing and expanding transit and rail networks across the country, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Plan is the largest federal investment in public transit in history and is the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak.
Repair and rebuild our roads and bridges with a focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity, and safety for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework is the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system.
Build a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers along highways and in rural and disadvantaged communities. The largest investment in EV infrastructure in history, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will accomplish the President’s goal of building 500,000 EV chargers.
Electrify thousands of school and transit buses across the country to reduce harmful emissions and drive domestic manufacturing of zero emission vehicles and components.
Eliminate the nation’s lead service lines and pipes, delivering clean drinking water to up to ten million American families and more than 400,000 schools and child care facilities that currently don’t have it, including in Tribal nations and disadvantaged communities. The Plan is the largest investment in clean drinking water and waste water infrastructure in American history.
Connect every American to reliable high-speed internet, just as the federal government made a historic effort to provide electricity to every American nearly one hundred years ago. The Framework will also drive down prices for internet service and close the digital divide.
Upgrade our power infrastructure, including by building thousands of miles of new, resilient transmission lines to facilitate the expansion of renewable energy, including through a new Grid Authority. The Plan is the single largest investment in clean energy transmission in American history.
Create a first of its kind Infrastructure Financing Authority that will leverage billions of dollars into clean transportation and clean energy.
Make the largest investment in addressing legacy pollution in American history, a cleanup effort that will create good-paying union jobs and advance environmental justice.
Prepare more of our infrastructure for the impacts of climate change, cyber attacks, and extreme weather events. The Framework is the largest investment in the resilience of physical and natural systems in American history.
The Framework, which will generate significant economic benefits and returns, is financed through a combination of closing the tax gap, redirecting unspent emergency relief funds, targeted corporate user fees, and the macroeconomic impact of infrastructure investment.
A lot of it provides non structural support, like safety equipment and services for schools nationwide, not new schools nationwide but equipment for cleaning services and hundreds more services..
Oh, Ok.
So the remainder is the Green Nude Eel.
Thought so.
The "Infrastructure"(LOL) bill is a fucking inflation bomb, and folks are waking up to that fact.:
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters nationwide believe increased government spending leads to inflation. A Scott Rasmussen survey found that only 14% disagree and 27% are not sure.
Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Republicans see a connection between spending and inflation. Democrats, by a 45% to 21% margin, tend to agree. Among Independent voters, 45% believe more government spending leads to inflation while 11% do not.
These numbers help explain why just 22% of voters want Congress and the President to increase federal spending next year. Thirty-nine percent (39%) want spending to be cut and 21% would like it to remain about the same. That finding reflects a marked change from a year ago when just 14% of voters wanted the government to stop spending more money.

Then-president Donald Trump and General Mark Milley speak at the 119th Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, Pa., December 8, 2018. (Jim Young/Reuters)
Despite many inherent difficulties, some military leaders showed apparent willingness to support radical calls to resist the president.
In my December 2017 column for the Providence Journal, I asked, not altogether rhetorically: “Is Trump the target of a coup attempt?” To the consternation of many of my friends and colleagues, I answered in the affirmative. I argued that if military officers had done to President Obama some of the things that members of the intelligence community (IC) had done to President Trump, they would have been denounced as conspirators seeking to undermine the actions of a duly elected president, and thus enemies of civilian control of the military and the Constitution itself. Commentators would have called their actions what they were: an attempted coup against a duly elected president

So yesterday Taylor decided to let us in on a lil secret: her post-vaccine side effects. (Not the funny part!)
2/ Then she thought better of her honesty BECAUSE SCIENCE or whatevs and decided to delete the Tweet! (Still not the funny part.)
And someone caught this tweet and sent it to me. And I couldn’t find it on the Googs, so I went to my old friend @waybackmachine and looked for it..

Oops! Seems @TaylorLorenz decided she wanted the Tweet to go bye-bye forever and so took advantage of the fact she technically owns the rights to it to make it so.
Now that’s funny, amirite? Journalism in our time and all that…
So the New York Times accidentally provided some real news about side effects of the vaccine to its own reporter.
The realizing what she had done tried to cover it up
FAKE NEWS

Why hide the side effects of the vaccine ?
Everybody knows people who have gone through them
and most survived.
I think the same arguments exist for both Trump and Biden. Whatever allegations of sexual harassment was tossed around, they existed prior to either of them becoming President. As far as I know, there were no allegations that Trump or Biden committed sexual harassment while on the job.
That means that in both cases the voter chose those men to be President in spite of allegations of sexual harassment and other things. Those were vetted, known, and people could make an informed decision as to whether or not it disqualified them from being President.
I sort of agree with Psaki on this one (go figure).
Cuomo, on the other hand, is being accused (apparently credibly) by women who claim to have been harassed while Cuomo was on the job. In pretty much all of these cases, these claims were not vetted and known when Cuomo was elected.
Now if Cuomo wants to resign today and run again for the next election. Then New Yorkers could choose to reenlist him as Governor in spite of these allegations. But at this point, these things are coming up as new claims.
There are enough of them and they seem credible enough for Cuomo to resign.

“I’m confident if I hadn’t had the vaccine, it would have been a lot worse,” he continued.
“In my state, about 50 percent of the people are still unvaccinated. For your own good and the good of our state, I would urge you to consider getting vaccinated.”

I'd agree with you if I thought we had an impartial press, big tech and justice department.
We don't, so many people voted unaware. How many voters knew Hunter's laptop was real ? Joe lied about that during a debate. He alluded to 50 former intelligence officers saying it was Russian disinformation. They lied. And Biden had to know they were wrong. Hasn't admitted he is the "bif guy" of course if he did he would be admitting to tax fraud.
Not really sure about the Reade accusation, just that it was not fully vetted...
Some people cannot help themselves.
They can only lie when they have no other argument!
DeSantis: ‘These vaccines are saving lives’
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday addressed the rising number of coronavirus infections in the state and said the key to stopping a surge in COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths is to increase the statewide vaccination rate.
“These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality,” DeSantis said during a news conference in St. Petersburg. “I can tell you that we’re going to end up having over 95% of folks that end up seriously ill from this point on are going to be people who are not vaccinated. And so, that’s the single most important thing that people can understand.”
DeSantis addressed vaccine hesitancy, saying that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the small risk of side effects.
“There are occasionally some side effects, but if you’re 70 years old, man, the benefit is so much better than worrying about some of that. It’s not even close,” he added.

Sometimes he hesitates to speak out, but I prefer a guy who stops and thinks about things than the Twitter tirade President Trump.

The less tyrannical politicians are, the more angry the media is at them.
The more authoritarian a government is about COVID, the more media ❤️‘s them.
The more politicians trust citizens to be free, the more hateful the media is.
The lesson? Don’t trust the media.
the FAKE NEWS loves Biden
and loved running hoaxes against Trump
It greatly influences low intelligence voters like roger
of course maybe it's just relating to Biden's dementia
LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO
Joe Biden's America.
Not DeSantis's America.
So alky...
Apparently you're too stupid to know that DeSantis is a big vaccine proponent, just like Trump was and is.

Congressional Progressive Caucus Flexes Muscles
Centrist Democrats in the House have been agitating for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to move ahead with a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill before the reconciliation package is voted out of the Senate, something she has pledged not to do.
In a new letter to congressional leadership today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus underscores that there is significant support for Pelosi staying the course.
As part of this shared commitment, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has recently concluded an internal survey of its 96 members regarding the urgency of ensuring that a narrower bipartisan infrastructure agreement is enacted on the condition that a robust package of social, human, and climate infrastructure—reflecting all Democrats’ longstanding priorities—is simultaneously passed by simple majorities in Congress through the budget reconciliation process.
We specifically asked whether members would commit to withholding a yes vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal — Senate Amendment 2137 to H.R. 3684 — until the Senate has passed budget reconciliation legislation deemed acceptable by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. A majority of our respondents affirmed that they would withhold their votes in support of the bipartisan legislation in the House of Representatives until the Senate adopted a robust reconciliation package.
Sometime in September, he will fulfilled his campaign promises...
The next few weeks are going to be very interesting.

After four years of hoaxes, we have a president who should actually be impeached.

In recent days you’ve seen Joe Biden do an insane eviction moratorium at the behest of AOC and Cori Bush. And you’ve seen Cuomo go down to the long knives of the New York communists.
This is a trend that should scare you more than it is. This new Democratic Party is....not good.
and they sure don't believe in the constitution
Scott, remember when he said that he can grab pussy because he's rich??
Another woman has accused him of rape.
The conservative media refused to mention it.
A LIE.
Fox mentioned EVERY instance of a Trump accuser, including Skanky Daniels and her trusty sidekick Avenatti, and that other aging twat with a book to sell.
The Billy Bush tape was covered by Fox... EVERY FUCKING THING was covered by Fox.
Try one day without lying alky. Just one.

Inbox: The inspector general for the NSA is opening an investigation into claims the agency “improperly targeted” a “member of the U.S. media” aka Tucker Carlson.
Well that's great but nothing ever appears to change
Trump was spied on
and Durham still hasn't finished his investigation
people are getting off just because the statute of limitations have run out.
And Biden was one of the people who unmasked Flynn....

Senate Advances $3.5 Trillion Reconciliation Plan
August 10, 2021 at 12:40 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Less than an hour
after passing a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, the Senate advanced consideration of a $3.5 trillion budget plan on a 50-49 vote.
Taegan Goddard comments:
Get ready for an insane couple of months.
1:08 True, Cuomo for the most part handled the Covid crisis well.
Too bad he was so much like Trump when it comes to women.

Andrew Cuomo, Michael Avenatti, and The Lincoln Project have one thing in common…
They were all bolstered by the media simply because they were part of the anti-Trump #Resistance, all given no critical coverage until it became politically convenient.
What an epic failure.
and the bodies are everywhere
The first $526 billion will be spent in the first 3 to 5 years.
The President plans
“Having the predictability of five years of federal funding allows them to develop those plans” more strategically, Tymon said, “rather than having to react on a year-to-year basis” depending on the whims of Washington. Practically speaking, that could mean moving major projects up “to year 3 or 4, rather than 7 or 8” of a long-term plan,
Smart politics
DeSantis America: ‘These vaccines are saving lives’
H/t CHT.
1.2 Trillion, less then half is true Infrastructure.
Roger, what is the majority spent on?
"Blogger JamesNewLeaf said...

James knows hos statement is wrong, he doesn't care.
The other half will be spent on projects that will need to be completed.
The legislation has a lot of climate change issues that will be addressed in the last couple years.
Don't forget that they are moving into your neighborhoods!
Critical race theory is quickly becoming the Republican Party’s favorite culture-war cudgel.
From April to mid-July, Fox News mentioned it nearly 2,000 times, per Media Matters, a left-leaning media watchdog that tracks right-leaning media outlets. In fact, since February, mentions of the theory have more than doubled month-over-month on Fox News with prominent Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Ted Cruz, all railing against
The attacks aren’t merely rhetorical, either. According to a July report from the Brookings Institute, eight states (Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona and South Carolina) have passed laws banning critical race theory-related content from being taught in schools. Similar legislation has been introduced in over a dozen other state capitols.
Few Americans can define what critical race theory actually is — an academic framework that originated among legal scholars in the 1970s to help explain how racism permeates American institutions — but it’s not surprising that it has emerged as a bogeyman on the political right. Increasingly, the Republican base is politically animated by white racial grievances, which is a major reason why misrepresentations of critical race theory — “every white person is racist” or “certain children are inherently bad people because of their skin color” — have found such a receptive audience. After all, many of the same grievances helped fuel Trump’s rise.
From the earliest days of his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s support has been most heavily concentrated among white Americans who think they face significant racial discrimination.
You actually believe that CRT is reverse discrimination against white people like rrb and kputz etc...
