Reuters: "US Supreme Court under Roberts takes 'wrecking ball' to Voting Rights Act"

Now, the Socialist Democrat party is whining that the Supreme court has reversed and thrown a monkey wrench into the Socialist Democrats' SCHEMEs for the last 40 years or more.

It is not a "wrecking ball" to the Voting Rights act, it has simply stopped the corrupt Socialist Democrat party from any further bastardization of the laws and the US Constitution.

The intention of the Voting Rights act was not created to simply Let Socialist Democrats win by any corrupt means necessary, it was intended to do what the name says, secure voting rights for all American citizens, the key word there being "citizens".

Now, let the whining, moaning, and crying  by the corrupt Socialist Democrats continue. 



I will check back next week to see just how the unhinged Brain Trust here has reacted to the facts.  I'll bring my popcorn!  smile

OK, your verbosity lasted about as long as a Trump peace deal.

BTW, the only thing I have said about the court's decision is that it was a continuation of their dismantling of affirmative action, and that I could see both sides of this issue. I never even came down on either side as of yet. PLEASE don't be a contra-influence on me 😂

Talarico = Beto part deux

However, the betting market has Paxton favored to win at this point, too. 

Faux news and Jesse Waters have already started a propaganda campaign against Talarico by insinuating that he's either gay, vegan and anti-beef or "prebuicient" and not the manly alpha male type required to lead the great state of Texas. That, and all of the anti-Paxton campaign ads and/or criticisms of him prior to his win over Cornyn, have now been scrubbed by the GOP. So, while Talarico should be the logical preference by anyone who objectively looks at the choices, I remind myself of my past reading of what JFK told Jackie the night before he was assassinated in Dallas: "We gotta be careful, we're going to nut country tomorrow."

It's Texas, man. What did you expect?

I love this comment from the article... "If you were to have a poster of the greatest influencer when it comes to EV take-up in Australia, it'd have Donald Trump."

"It's incredible what a year in a war will make," said Rebecca Huntley, a social researcher who recorded a significant jump in support for EVs."

I got an EV about 4 months ago and I can't tell you how happy I am with it. I will never go back to an ICE vehicle. Not because of the environment or gas prices. EV's are better on nearly every important measure and FAR superior to their ICE counterparts.

I'd never go back.

I do. Off-roading isn't ready for EV's...yet. Give it time and a 4-runner or Tacoma EV with 1000-mile range will be in my stable.

Trump delivered a speech Wednesday night at the RNC's Midterm Convention in Dallas, pledging to issue $5,000 dividends if GOP candidates secure majorities in both the House and Senate.

So then are you going to continue to dodge and hide under your desk after your attempt at an insult?  

Gee, what a shocker, that you don't have the balls to engage, and instead choose to ignore the very basic question which is this, Where was the bribe that the dumbest of people out there are trying to claim?

Are you just another "extreme fool" since you don't have the intellectual chops to make the legal case?  It certainly appears that you are just that.

So once again nothing new from the clown who purports to be a lawyer.  Its too bad that you are woefully incapable of arguimg the issue, but then why would we all expect anything different from a person who is nothing more than a glorified bookkeeper?smile

If playground insults were legal arguments, you’d be Clarence freaking Darrow.
