NYT Editorial: Why Are Republicans So Afraid of Voters?

There is no “both sides do it” when it comes to intentionally keeping Americans away from the polls.

JUST SAYING:

Trump Before his Orange Coating and Bald Comb Coverup

Setting up new Jim Crow laws that are carefully crafted and couched in legalese has been one of the strong points of the Republican Party.
Rigging elections through Voter ID law, moving or closing polling places, voter intimidation, and other methods are in the GOP playbook.
Trump’s supporters and enablers are terrified that they are losing economic, social, and political power to minorities.
America’s skin’s pigmentation is changing, and the political landscape is becoming more progressive.
So Trump is selling his “Back to the Future” (red MAGA hat) and pimping promises like unpenetrable border walls while holding up a Bible after the tear gas is clears.
There are heaping helpings of candy-coated racism and plenty of scapegoats for his losers, racists, and failures in life to blame.
What Trump and his enablers like Barr and McConnell do is nothing new. It’s not even sophisticated. It was on full display in the 1930s and evident today.
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach,” — Adolph Hitler
It’s not complicated.
Any deranged lunatic with an IQ of a slug and scruples of a goat is capable of exploiting hate, fear, and ignorance.
Simply, dust off a dumbed-down version of Mein Kampf and appeal to the primal urges and fears of the terror-stricken.
Trump is a psychopath who is taking millions of minions on a self-serving, political joyride that he wants to prolong.

NYT HEADLINE: Justice Dept. Blocked in Bid to Shield Trump From Rape Defamation Suit

The Justice Department tried to intervene to represent President Trump against the lawsuit by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who claims he lied when he denied raping her, the NYT reported.

TRUMP’S LEGAL DEFENSE FUND — U.S. TAXPAYERS

Just Saying: It is absurd that American taxpayers are shelling out money to pay for the legal defense of the sexual deviant in the White House.

This is being done courtesy of Trump’s lapdog and personal lawyer, Bill Barr, also paid by the American taxpayer.

The rape case in federal court is but one of more than two dozen other cases where women have accused Trump of sexual abuse and harassment.

“His comments concerned an alleged sexual assault that took place several decades before he took office, and the allegations have no relationship to the official business of the United States,” the judge wrote.

That doesn’t matter.

The conservative robed clowns in the United States Supreme Court, aka Vatican Central, will now dismantle Judge Kaplan’s ruling with generous heaping of legalese and piece-meal reasoning that borders on judicial insanity.

The highest court is going to start to erode and erase decades of gains made by civil rights groups, including settled case law involving voting and discrimination.

This Supreme Court will give law enforcement more power under the guise of law and order, expanding the search and seizure of vehicles and property and giving legal shelter from public accountability and transparency.

Essentially, watering down the First Amendment.

Sadly, people, especially minorities, will take to the streets to get justice as bad cops believe they have carte blanche to kill, maim and brutalize people of color and the poor.

There will more bloodshed on America’s streets.

There are consequences to not casting votes.
