Says the guy whose 2016 Presidential campaign made an ad about immigration entitled "Invasion."

Unfiltered Ted Cruz: We will only express our racism with dogwhistles, and we will do so with some qualms but in pursuit of a higher good, i.e., the political ascendancy of Ted Cruz.

Check out this article from 2012 reporting on the efflorescence of white nationalism at CPAC. Steve King was, of course, totally down for it...and not a single 2012 GOP presidential candidate responded to an invitation to disavow it. thenation.com/article/white-…
Consider this exhibit 352 undermining the hogwash idea that Trumpist racism "came out of nowhere" and took over what was an otherwise colorblind GOP.
The point is not that everyone at CPAC agreed with this vile crap. The point is, if you thought it was vile crap, why did you invite them to your gathering...again and again? The organizers had free will to define the boundaries of "conservatism." They decided this crap was ok.

1. 17 years ago Trent Lott (R-MS) said this about his state: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president [in 1948], we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either.''
2. Within a few weeks he had lost his job as the Senate Majority Leader (thanks in great part to pressure from within his own GOP) and his once promising political career was basically ended. theguardian.com/world/2002/dec…
3. This episode gave a lot of people the false impression, I think, that the GOP was authentically coming to grips with its longtime complicity with racism. Trent Lott did a glaring racism, and he suffered the consequences. So we're good now, right? Well....

There are murderers, like the El Paso guy, who explicitly say "here are my politics that explain why I'm doing this murdering." And then there are murderers, like the Dayton guy, who leave behind no evidence linking their politics to their murdering. It's not that hard people.
At this point, the politics that seemed to motivate the Dayton shooter were the politics of misogyny, a politics that is more prevalent on the far right but is not limited to it. thecut.com/2019/08/dayton…
The El Paso shooter, on the other hand, told us quite clearly whose political vision motivated his violence. nytimes.com/2019/08/04/us/…

FYI Google makes it hard to find the truth. Why is that?

Here you go:

13th amendment that abolished #slavery. 100% #Republicans voted for it, 77% of #Democrats voted AGAINST it.
@abstractheory @4DreamLife @Empire_Gal @ida_skibenes @VP 2)
14th amendment gave citizenship to all blacks. 94% Republicans voted for it & every Democrat voted AGAINST it.
@abstractheory @4DreamLife @Empire_Gal @ida_skibenes @VP 3)
15th amendment grants blacks the right to vote. 100% Republican voted for it. Every Democrat voted AGAINST it.

1) Q has told us to dig and after @40_head compiled the Panama canal thread that @AmericanIII and I were asked to be apart of we found more and its damning. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1109391… Q has said that sometimes things have more than one meaing with the Alice in Wonderland comment
2) everyone assumed that S.A only stood for Saudi Aradia but does it? Could it stand for South America as well the thread by @40_head certainly raises questions. Here is the link to that thread if you have not read it please do so before proceeding. @StormIsUponUs @prayingmedic
3) We started to look for a connection between Gustavo Cisneros who is a billionaire mogul originally from Venezuela with strong ties to then leader Hugo Chavez. Cisneros was a huge donor to Chavez’s campaign and they were friends but that relationship changed.

The George Bush/Dan Quayle campaign's official Willie Horton themed ads in 1988 were racist and divisive. The man behind the ads was southern strategy mastermind Lee Atwater, who worked with Roger Stone & Paul Manafort. #Racism #Maddow
Dog whistle politics was Lee Atwater’s specialty. The Bush-Quayle campaign's Willie Horton-themed ads were racist & played on racial fear. This ad didn't picture or name Horton specifically, but there was only inmate who looks directly into camera. #Maddow
Donald Trump has been courting a run for prez since the late 90’s. He’s known Roger Stone & Paul Manafort for over 30yrs. They were known as the “Torturer’s Lobby”. They helped craft the southern strategy w/Lee Atwater for Reagan & H. W. Bush. They crafted Trump’s hate. #Maddow

Never ever invoke the ire of Gays™️ like this again, you messy rag of a publication.
I am by no means a Britney stan, in that I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of her work nor have I seen her perform live. HOWEVER, as a person whose entire adolescent soundtrack included Britney’s hits as they happened in real time, this take is hot festering trash.
First of all, Britney Spears is a world class dancer. Her choreography from her 2002-2004 shows/videos ALONE would leave Taylor Swift collapsed on the floor in rehearsal sobbing and suing everyone in the room.
