In the ultimate Calvinball move by this corrupt SCOTUS, the same court that says race can't be used in college admissions just ruled with no explanation race can be used to arrest people in this country. I say "once again" because legal discrimination federally was removed by the 64 Civil Rights Act and the 65 Voting Rights Act.

Once again, tell us why the US ISN'T a racist country.

Sounds like a justification for rounding up anyone who fits the profile of a Republican.
Beware what they wish for.

I've gone off the rails, contemplating "emotional civil war" short of breaking the law.

I no longer regard the remaining Trump Base as either my fellow Americans or fellow human beings. I tell myself that --if I were attending sunday church regularly and found one of them sitting next to me, I would create a disturbance by spitting in his face during the consecration of the Host before communion. I constantly contemplate shunning and shaming Trumpers in public -- embarrassing them in grocery stores and shopping centers. I constantly dream of finding them in desperate need of something from me, like roadside First-Aid, so I can spit and laugh in their faces.

I had always maintained a live and let live attitude, and once thought I was a Republican myself. I didn't choose to be a Democrat because I "belief in certain s***". The only beliefs for me relevant to public life are "good government", "common sense" and "the Constitution".

I just think we need to take over the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court, and we need to return the status quo to what it was. Throw it in their faces! I have no interest in bridging gaps or compromise with the White Trash Filth.

Civility and a sense of responsibility have kept a lid on the emotional reaction of Anti-Trump citizens and former GOP -- or call them "Democrats". I think we owe the Right a heap of misery and unhappiness, because they've brought all that to our country with Trump and his gang of criminals.

The Racists should be sent to political re-education camp for Skinnerian behavioral modification. There is no place in America for them or their kind. And spoken like a good Caucasian aspiring "Rainbow" citizen. Sane citizens need what former Congressman Steve King touted as a "trillion rounds of ammunition." We can't have civil conversations with the Right, or compromise in arguments or votes, because their lies and subterfuge makes constructive discourse useless. So let our currency become Hot Lead. [Most responsible Democrats don't say these things. But I want to know what they feel, beneath their polite Letters-to-the-Editor.]

Of course, a sane Supreme Court and the Rule of Law would not allow me to do what I contemplate, but for spitting in faces, shunning, shaming and embarrassing. Otherwise, if you support that sociopath, criminal, rapist and possible pedophile -- **** you in the heart with a telephone pole in front of your kids on Christmas Day. Burn in Hell.

Now my blood pressure can stay down for another week or so. I've vented!!

I've seen a suggestion that Democrats in congress should attach a requirement to the CR that this be made flatly illegal. If Republicans balk they get to explain why they want to legalize racial profiling and make latino people not subject to the 4th Amendment so much that they will shut down the government over it.

At this point, they should probably just shut it down no matter what.

But things like that are an absolute must-do as well. Far too little of political fighting/tricks going on from the D side.

I agree though if the Rs want to supply a politically damaging reason that angers a vital voting bloc I think we should utilize it.

A sentiment I can relate to while also feeling totally helpless to do anything meaningful to make change, especially where I live. The deep-south is rampant with smooth-brained MAGAs.

I just listened to another GOP legislator on the news -- maybe it was Comer - pertaining to the Epstein files and decisions. All those people are traitors to the Republic for allowing a sociopath and criminal to continue in the White House. All their major concerns are trout-fly and petty nonsense -- overturning Roe v Wade -- harm to viable "citizens"; whining about "DEI" -- more trash ideas and destructive nonsense; breaking the civil service -- should have serious prison time for avoiding the congressional oversight and decisions to let the Criminal have his way.

I may be too old, but I think we all should get out in the streets and cause real trouble for the National Guard and ICE. Just mix it up. If there's "carnage" -- so be it. Make Trump suck on it, and suffer more losses in the polls. Properly despising the MAGA is almost reason to hate your country, and let them know it! I will quite frankly cheer and dance if a 21st century Oswald surfaces and acts with success. Throw confetti from my car at the stop light, and raise my flags high. I'll write YAYYYYY! on my rear window.

Is this stuff today the consequence of ending Reconstruction after Lincoln and letting them get away with the statuary and nonsense about the "South will Rise Again"? If I had been Lincoln with what I know now, I would've turned the confederate states into one big federal territory under military occupation and make them start all over for statehood. What happened -- I speculate wildly -- is that all the Stars & Bars people spread throughout the western states and midwest and carried their venom with them. [Also, as a matter of historical correction -- Oswald didn't do the deed.]

Facing this stuff daily is a detriment to happy living.
