In the process of reconstructing the old blog, I ran into this case from 2009.
The EEOC had a case against this racist that didn’t get settled UNTIL LAST YEAR.
Just like that racist criminal running for president, justice can take a very, very long time – if it happens at all. And the perps just laugh all the way to the bank as you wait for the system to recognize the flaws in the system. It never fixes them, but sometimes it recognizes harm has occurred.
Just so we are clear: lynching is still legal in Texas.
This is the level of hate and loathing that is on the ballot this year. They won’t be happy until we are in camps.
Gay folks, mixed race folks, IVF kids like my son, non-Catholics, atheists, non-conformists of all types. Whatever they aren’t? You are on the block.
On the heels of one story about how the local county is becoming more left-of-center, here is one on how the whole state has set itself as an enclave for those merely trying to be their best selves.
Yeah, that’s it. No agenda, not trying to piss anyone off. Just trying to rugged individual in ways narrow minded folks do not understand, but should agree is their right to do so. But intellectual comprehension is not anything I have expected from conservatives for a very, very long time.
2020s version of Sarah Palin hates dogs. And goats. And apparently horses.
But she LOVES dragging them down to the gravel pit and shooting them. Imagine what she’d do to those humans she hates once the Supreme Court gives immunity to her and potential future boss Trump.
Until his involvement with Trump, Eastman had enjoyed a national reputation as a conservative constitutional expert. With his likely disbarment, that is now gone. In fact, it has been remarkable to see how many people of considerable credentials have thrown away their careers, reputations and perhaps even their freedom on behalf of a man as flawed as Trump.
You can say many bad things about Trump; trust me, I’ve said most of them. But the man is not a hypocrite. He makes no pretense of high moral standards that he later violates; he claims no loyalty to principles or causes other than his own. There’s a peculiar, straightforward honesty to his dishonesty. It’s part of what some people see as his charisma.
Finally, some of the actual architects of the wannabe dictatorship are facing consequences. May courts and voters be more bold in punishing these fascists going forward.
I mean, I didn’t need MORE reasons to loathe the guy who came up with Home Depot. The anti-union stuff was bad enough. But I guess falling on his knees for Trump is a good enough reason on it’s own.
Someone thought it would be great to send young black women from Utah to one of the most racist parts of the US, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They were followed and harassed by the locals.
Why? Because they were encouraged to. By their community, by their governor, by the tin god they want back as president.
Because they have been told they are right to do so by dozens of voices on their radio and TV screens.
But it isn’t just them. Sure, that part of the country is full of skinheads and retired LAPD goons. They are certainly an outlier. But they aren’t alone. It would really be nice if we finally started trying to fix that particular problem.
I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.
I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.
“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.
Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”
Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”
“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.
“I’m a pilot.”
Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?
