Eleven of the fourteen Senators objecting to certification come from former Confederate states or territories.

What does that tell you?
It tells ME that the worst post Civil War event in our nation's history thus far was the killing of Reconstruction. All else follows from there.

Fun fact: monied interests killed Reconstruction using fear tactics about the left & PoC.

Sound familiar?

And quite frankly, barring the immediate period after WWII our nation has pretty much been exactly the same ever since, just with cooler toys.
If you changed the word "trusts" with "hedge funds" here it would read EXACTLY THE SAME.

Another.
A wide(er) shot. That's about two by three inch area. I'm constantly amazed by the camera on this phone.

I've been thinking a lot lately about naysayers. Folks who always find a reason to latch on to things that tell them "that can't happen."

This is natural humanity imo, so I'm not knockin' it, but I do wanna talk about it in the context of November 3rd.

Any of y'all that read my stuff know I'm pretty bullish about this election, and Biden's chances. Hell I'm pretty bullish in general when it comes down to it. I ain't into astrology but I'm just sayin' it's odd I'm a Bull.

But I'm a thinker too. Possibly good at it.

Anywho, the election.

I'm absolutely convinced Biden's got it in the bag, maybe over 400 EC votes. Maybe. Still though, imo this chicken is done. Take it out and get down with the victory meal.

But why?

I mean Russians right? Iran or whatever?

This right here is offensive as HELL to me. And I'm gonna tell you why.
1/
To say that the manifestation of trump and the current GOP is every Americans fault is HORRIBLY out of touch.

Not only am I personally offended by it, b/c I've been screaming from the rooftops for 30 years about our broken system and it's ramifications...
2/
...but I'm offended for every single american who's had their voting rights taken away, or who's been beaten down by a system that worships money and power in which they have none.

Is it logical to tell the black community, who have been systematically devastated...

I have a source that Pence tested positive for #COVID19, hence the fly back to DC.

Expect it to break soon if true.
Plus, ponder this simple fact: there's only TWO reasons Pence would leave the campaign trail right now.

1. Trump has taken a huge turn for the worse.

Or

2. He's got #COVID19.

But we'll see. I did say if true.
I tweet other stuff too y'all, from the heart. And frankly I love taking on the powerful:

What we have to realize is the @GOP has come to place where they consider rules and laws are things that apply to OTHER people.

I'd like to extrapolate on that for a minute.

And this is no recent development. Think of how Nixon paid no legal price for his law breaking.

Literally hundreds of @GOP Members of Congress have openly flouted laws for generations and ended up with BETTER jobs in the private sector.
2/
The @GOP breaks campaign finance laws before our very eyes.

They steer government money to their coffers.

They sell their influence openly.

And every single time the lesson learned is not only thet they get away with it, their lives are IMPROVED by it.

Remember when House Republicans fell all over themselves laughing b/c they'd finally repealed the ACA?
Yeah that was awesome. Image
Then they had beers and laughs about it later with donnie in the Rose Garden.
Hilarious how people are gonna die ain't it? Image
That was also the day donnie said, "But hey, I'm president right?" Image
