Trump will inevitably have his few good days.

Doesn't change the fact that most of his days will still be negative.

Trump says he will "help Saudis get a good deal from US defense companies" -- not a traditional remark from a US president.

Santorum on @CNN just claimed that Trump's friendly Riyadh speech negates his 'Muslim ban' statements - so courts will now rule in WH favor.

I'm sure the courts are going to reverse their order tomorrow morning in light of this new development

Trump will inevitably have his few good days.

It's just how so ridiculously low the bar is.

But the fact that the bar is being held low in and of itself solidifies the negative narrative around Trump.

Let Trump have his happy days. It only makes him that much more vulnerable to lashing out when more bad news leaks.

Amazing.

It sucks, but as soon as Trump finally goes down, expect the crazier new sources to be kicked out.

The amendment that bans slavery specifically keeps it legal for prisoners. Was only a moment of time before the southern whites who never got removed from power for losing a war would start trumping up charges against black communities in an effort to keep them where they wanted them.

We really should go back and ban slavery universally.

Yup, the documentary 13th on Netflix is great. Very much recommended viewing on the prison-industrial complex.

Yes it is fucked, but think of it as another thing to add to list of things Democrats can do to solidify power once they take it. I already had on the list:

- National ID system that can't be denied by Voter ID laws
- Raising the number of house seats (excluding DC's 3 given by the constitution) from 435 to 800+
- Create a new set of areas that must pass the VRA's pre-clearance

Now I can add:

- Pass a federal law that frees anyone who was only jailed for non-violent drug use and then pass laws that protect the voting rights of anyone who was only jailed for non-violent drug use.

And we'll have the perfect cover for it with the need for drug policy reform.

Why not just make VRA pre-clearence for the whole nation?

 

[TestOfTide]

Actually you are right. That's a much better idea because then unlike what happened in 2013, no one would be able to argue that there is any unconstitutional discrimination against specific states/districts/counties.

Uhh, JBE is a white supremacist so probably not...

Oh JBE is a white supremacist too? Was he spotted at a Klan meeting with Manchin?

I wondered the same thing. Wouldn't that make it stand up better to scrutiny from the courts too?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

JBE signed a bill into law that makes resisting arrest a hate crime.

... That's clearly the most racist bill passed in America in a long while, soooooooo.

 

[TestOfTide]

So Bel Edwards isn't doing anything about this?

What could he do that would actually work long term? If he tries to pardon the drug crimes he'll just be kicked out of office and then the police will find new bullshit drug charges to lock people up again for.

You can't permanently fix states like Louisiana until you either weaken to voting power of rural whites there or find a way to stop conservatives from disenfranchising minorities.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I mean, if someone signs a bill banning Jewish and Muslim headwear, I think they are in favor of Christian supremacy.

Is the Louisiana house and senate strongly GOP? Because if so what was JBE supposed to do? Veto the bill only to have it overturned by the La house and senate? Only difference there is that JBE would basically have to kiss the governor seat goodbye.

If you don't want democratic governors in states like La to have to be like JBE, then you have to find a way to change the balance of voting power in that state so that minorities can easily outvote rural whites.

I just don't think JBE will help reduce the amount of slavery in Louisiana.

Perhaps the non-white people who serve in his cabinet should be informed about the FACT that their boss is a WHITE SUPREMACIST. Seems like the kind of thing they should resign in protest over.

Are you SERIOUSLY trying to pull the "He's not racist because he has black employees" excuse?

Or they think that JBE is the best they can work with in Louisiana because it's the most racist state in the union?
