Thought For The Day

April 7, 2023

Trump and his fellow travelers continue their racist, fascist rampage. Racist white Tennessee (the land where the Klan was born, where MLK was gunned down) legislators voted to expel two young Black Democratic representatives, while another – a white woman – survived expulsion by a single vote. Biden called the move “shocking, undemocratic and without precedent.” The expulsions may not be democratic, but they are damn sure Republican.

The expulsion votes resulted from the three Democrats participating in protests over the unending mass gun murders of children and others – particularly the recent school shooting in Tennessee – on the statehouse floor. Ratpublicans compared the peaceful protest against gun violence to the violent, deadly, seditious assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Interestingly, these expulsions could very easily and very well be reversed in the very near future by county authorities. Apparently, the entire point of this stunning and futile gesture was to remind everyone that racism is alive and thriving in Tennessee.

In their defense, none of the Ratpublicans referred to the expelled members as “boy.”

War – The World is A Ghetto

This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought For The Day.

What do you think?

On Second Thought For The Day…

Not to be out-dumbed, Mississippi, Governor Tate Reeves (guess which party) has declared April to be Confederate Heritage Month in the hate state of Mississippi. And because it's Mississippi, the proclamation is dated for April 31, 2023 – a date that does not exist.
