    So that’s one. One Republican who still calls himself a Republican who recognizes his party’s voter suppression bullshit and says it needs to stop.

    Are there any others yet?  I’d love to add myself to the list, but I stopped calling myself a Republican during Trump’s campaign - which made it obvious the people I thought I agreed with were largely unprincipled racist hacks.

      There are some frustrated GOPers in Florida.

      Rick Wilson, Tom Nichols, and Steve Schmidt are worth checking out.

    I encourage everyone in GA to do air-quotes when they say “Governor” Kemp. Should make man-on-the-street interviews amusing.

    Yo...


    Never forget. It is not at all an exaggeration like it sometimes is in other cases to say that Kemp’s cheating cost her the election. Florida appears much more to be an “own goal” scenario. But in the case of Georgia with some near record Democratic turnout it is very clear that Kemp was working to shrink the electorate to as small as he possibly could through what any sane court would have found to be unconstitutional means literally up until the day he resigned his seat.

      The next question: what can be done about this?

    Off-Topic: The opening lyric to Hit’em Up is one the most hilariously awful lines in hip-hop.

    On-topic: this tweet, while valid, is nothing like Hit’em Up.

      Counterpoint: if you’re a GOP advisor, you ain’t got no motherfuckin’ friends.

    When it comes to regulations, esp. ecological ones, republicans argue over and over again that cost of regulations cannot overshadow the benefits. You can’t have businesses spend 10 billion to give the benefit of saving 10 lives worth 10 million each.

    Yet, when it comes to voting, they completely reverse positions. The cost of the people to. Are sure every vote cast is legit far outweighs the benefits of said laws.

    If only they showed the same concerns for the lives near coal ash deposits or fracking sites (let alone our climate) as they do the mythical illegally cast vote, we might not consider them pure evil.

    One can hope the GOP will start eating itself into oblivion.

    Weaver has been a part of terrible things (like Sarah Palin), but his rehabilitation tour has been entertaining.
