Today’s GOP in a nutshell: Jaw-dropping incompetence and grotesque disrespect for others​

​

Totally agree, but incompetence and disrespect for others are not new to the GOP. Today's GOP is a fruit that has been ripening since 1964. It is now rotten to the core.

I guess some of the shuffleboard tournaments are delayed because of the virus. This happens everytime there is a lull in the tour.

True however the Pussy Grabber has now sunk the entire party even lower into the swamp. Of course we knew that going into the election and pre-covid he had record high approval in his pre-Nazi party.

Immortal words that foretold the fate of his presidency.

They are based on hate and greed. The bigotry falls under poorly educated or over religious. Most of the US does not fall under those criteria. November 3, if polls are right, looks like it will wipe them out of power for a long time.

"Historical quirks and biases" is the giveaway. If they're "historical," that means they're of a particular moment in time--and not necessarily right for this one. And if they're no more than "quirks and biases," that means there's no justification for holding on to them.

...true, but the quirks and biases require electoral reform - who has the time or inclination for that?

It's like the UK, which is a monarchy - albeit constitutional. The very idea is an affront to democracy but it's considered too complicated undo or too uncertain what would replace the monarch at the top... so they stay. Which is a bit rubbish but that's how things happen. Or rather don't.

All true enough. But in recent years, our Electoral College has brought us George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump.

A few more of those, people may start demanding a change.

No, small states will not cede power - it will never happen.

The UNDERMINING OF JURISPRUDENCE: Conservative COLLUSION from a supreme court
.
Sotomayor Slams SCOTUS Conservatives for Issuing Stays | Law & Crime​

.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor called out her conservative colleagues on the bench for increasingly issuing stays which favor their ideological fellows.

“Although an applicant seeking a stay pending appeal ‘has an especially heavy burden,’ this Court has begun to grant such stays with notable frequency,” the hard-charging dissent continues to say through a footnote. “It is beginning to look like such an applicant has nearly no burden at all.”

Indeed, such stays have been a common product from the Roberts court during the Trump era.

Donald Trump‘s White House has been remarkably adept at obtaining stays from the nation’s high court to neutralize left-leaning lower court orders.

The effect has been a continuance of the Trump administration policies signed off on by the nation’s conservative justices without an actual assessment of the legal merits.

Such stays hold for at least as long as those often lengthy legal controversies make their way back to the high court–oftentimes months or even years later.​

It should be clear by now every bill the GOP signs off on look closely and you’ll find breathtaking giveaways to their masters. Zero bills pass without them.

Seems, KRIS KOBACH, the racist, reich-winged ARCHITECT and poster boy for Republican voter SUPPRESSION has, for all his efforts at cheating Black people and other minorities out of our right to VOTE, has of late fallen upon HARD times, taking his rightful place with the DOZENS of OTHERS under Trump & Co's BUS. APPARENTLY for having done TOO OBVIOUS a job of SUPPRESSING MINORITIES.

His fellow Republicans turned on him, NOT because of his racist agenda, but because they feared it would cause him to LOSE in November against a Democrat.

As such, he was fkd by the VERY people he helped empower. A FITTING end for a BIGOT:

Kris Kobach, the Nativist Vote Suppressor, Loses His Kansas Senate Primary – Mother Jones

Kris Kobach spent the final days of his primary campaign denying that he’s racist. “If I’m a white nationalist, I’m not a very good one,” In fact, this statement is entirely true. Kobach has the record of a white nationalist, just one who has repeatedly bungled his agenda.

The reason Kobach found himself fending off questions about white nationalism is because his fellow Republicans accused him of having ties to white nationalists in a television ad blanketing Kansas’ airwaves. “Why would Kris Kobach lose again in November?” the ad asks. “Kobach has strong ties to white nationalists.”

The message was crystal clear: Kobach will lose to a Democrat in November, so vote against him in the primary.

Kobach shares an agenda with President Trump, one of a small cohort of national figures who can claim to be as anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, and pro-voter suppression as Trump.

And he can boast that he was advocating these policies before Trump fully embraced that agenda. Republicans’ problem with Kobach isn’t necessarily his policies.... Republicans have openly admitted that they spent money to defeat him in the primary so that they didn’t have to spend even more money to help him win in November.

Kobach hasn’t always bore the stench of loss, and his successes have harmed untold numbers of immigrants and people of color, as well as many other innocent people caught up in his machinations to enshrine a white ruling class in America.

Kobach had spent two decades dedicated to keeping nonwhite immigrants out of the United States and stopping people of color and other Democratic-leaning communities from voting.

After September 11, he used a perch in the Justice Department to implement an anti-Muslim program in the name of counterterrorism that secured no known convictions on terrorist charges, but did lead to deportation proceedings against 14,000 Muslim men. Kobach has deemed it a “great success.”

His proto-Trumpism included encouraging local police departments to enforce federal immigration statutes. This led to Kobach’s starring role in crafting SB1070, a notorious 2010 Arizona law that allowed local police to demand immigration papers of anyone they stopped. His national profile rose, and he wrote a similar anti-immigrant law for Alabama.

Kobach championed ... major voter suppression initiatives. The first was the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, or Crosscheck, a database that ostensibly allowed states to compare voter registration files and flag people who may be registered in more than one state.

Researchers at Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania did a statistical analysis of the program, finding that “200 legitimate voters may be impeded from voting for every double vote stopped.”

Kobach managed the program so badly that it had a false positive rate of 99 percent, disproportionately affecting people of color.

Our nation is in a free fall. But sure, let’s talk about Hillary’s emails again.

Nearly 5 million covid-19 cases in the United States. One-hundred fifty-seven thousand dead. Thirty-two million out of work. Tens of millions facing eviction, foreclosure and hunger.

What do we do now?

Simple: We talk about Hillary Clinton’s emails!
