It just makes your head want to explode sometimes, doesn’t it? The “Justice” Department is joining California Republicans in their lawsuit to stop California from doing what Texas did: gerrymander the state to favor one party, the Democrats. California ONLY did what they did a) temporarily, and b) because Texans gerrymandered Texas to favor one party, the Republicans.
Not only did the “Justice” Department NOT sue Texas, the Texas rigging was 47’s idea. He proclaimed he “deserved” five more seats in the House and Texas gerrymandered to accommodate his selfish ambitions. In joining the suit against California but not Texas, the administration made some pretty startling comments.
“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” mused Pam Bondi, the US attorney general. “Governor Newsom’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.”
“Texas’ redistricting scheme is ALSO a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” Pam Bondi could have added, but didn’t, “but Governor Abbott’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Texans will be just fine.”
The thing is, this whole kerfuffle kicked off when the Roberts Supremely Corrupt, Kangaroo Court ruled that Federal courts do not have jurisdiction to hear cases regarding partisan gerrymandering. A federal court can still step in, for now, if the gerrymandering is seen as racial, though, so that’s how the GOP and the criminal regime filed their official California whine.
They claimed the new map was drawn “to favor Hispanics.” Well, they had to say something, right? The suit had to pretend the gerrymander was racial. So, that’s what they did. Evil is evil, not stupid. But “We want to cheat but we don’t want YOU to cheat,” isn’t a very inspiring message. Nor is it particularly convincing. I’d bet racial considerations were not a factor so I imagine Team Evil will lose the fight…

I saw a headline in Friday’s ‘Guardian.’ It read, “Democrat Eric Swalwell faces federal criminal inquiry for alleged mortgage fraud.” When I read it, I laughed out loud. I guess Team Evil thinks they’re really on to something with these pretended charges. The thing is, we all KNOW the regime is just making things up in an effort to harass their political opponents.
We also know that several of the minions working in the regime could easily face the exact same charges – and, apparently, the evidence is stronger against Donny’s Dumbasses than it is against the Dems facing those charges. So far, the charges haven’t held up and I doubt this one will, either. Swalwell will start at ‘Selective Prosecution’ and move from there. I remember a time when Republicans pretended to think that frivolous lawsuits were a bad thing…

Part of the “clean” GOP Continuing Resolution (CR) that just passed when the Dems took a dive is a provision that allows GOP Senators to give themselves up to a million dollars each if their name and phone number appeared in a legal document during one of Donny’s many, many trials. The list wasn’t released to the public. No other information was presented. They weren’t violated in any way. But they get a fistful of dollars – ’cause they want it.
Other members of the GOP are pretending the provision was a surprise. They say they’re angry about it and they’re going to remove that provision. You know, eventually. They’ll get to it, sooner or later, you betcha, cause it was bad, bad, bad. Or they won’t and the GOP will gift themselves millions.
But if you’re a working American who can’t make ends meet in our corrupt society? No, nothing for you. In fact, you’re already leeching way too much, living way too high on the hog with all of those generous SNAP benefits. Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps – assuming you have boots, of course. You don’t even get a penny, cause we don’t make those anymore…

From time to time, I get called out by conservatives for calling them Nazis. I get that. I wouldn’t want to be called a Nazi, either. Now, for the record, I don’t actually call them Nazis. I say they’re acting like Nazis. Maybe they’re NOT Nazis but when one lives life like a Nazi, one should not be surprised when others suspect that maybe one IS a Nazi. Okay, so maybe I’ve misjudged. Let’s take a look, shall we?
When the Nazis – the actual Nazis – were sending people to prison, literally by the trainload, they stole the personal effects of their victims. They took wedding rings and gold crowns from teeth. If the victims of the Nazis had owned cell phones, they would have taken those, too. Anything of value, the Nazis stole it.
As it happens, when the ICEholes roll up one of their victims and haul them away, they steal their personal effects, too. Wedding and engagement rings, cell phones, anything of value, the ICEholes steal it. If (when) it turns out a victim was detained “in error,” you know, because they’re an American citizen or some other frivolous reason like that, they victim in question is released – but the ICEholes keep their valuables.
I say again, if people are going to do the same things the Nazis did, I’m going to continue to insist that they’re ACTING like Nazis, because they are. If you don’t like it, change the behavior…

As the walls close in on Donny and his Epstein involvement, he has decided to focus on Democrats. He’s siccing the DOJ on various high-profile Democrats to ascertain the association between them and Jeffrey Epstein. I suspect, the idea is an attempt to frighten lefties into standing down. “Oh my God,” he thinks liberals will say, “He might implicate our hero Bill Clinton so we’d better disregard our desire to see what Trump did to those girls.”
Here’s the thing: Bill Clinton isn’t my hero. Furthermore, I’m not MAGA. I don’t make decisions about guilt based on political affiliation, like MAGA does. My determinations are based on the facts at hand. If it turns out Bill Clinton – or any other Democrat or independent, for that matter – took advantage of the “delights” Jeffrey Epstein had on offer, they should stand trial and go to jail if convicted.
I don’t know a lefty who feels differently. I don’t know a MAGA who can say the same…
