Chief Justice Roberts sez we don't need to keep an eye on Southern states cuz racism is over! The Voting Rights Act looks like it's been put through a shredder.

It's history, dammit! What's wrong with driving around waving shotguns and battle flags at motorists and terrorizing 8 years olds at a birthday party?https://www.ajc.com/news/lo...

Down here in the heart of the Confederacy, we don't take kindly to black folk daring to vote. The Cause is still dear to Kemp's heart, and his KKK robes are in the back of his closet, but that's just our heritage, dammit! Alabama and Mississippi still celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday, and that's just our heritage too, like the statues and the Stars and Bars proudly displayed in the rear windows of pickups with shotguns in racks.

I am just going to sit back and be happy that the good guys won in this instance, at least until the next piece of fuckery falls from the sky and lands on our collective heads like bird poop!

Wasn't it in Kansas that the repugs manning the polling places got "lost" for two hours when they went for lunch?

Public pressure and the amount of $$$ it would have taken to deal with the ACLU lawsuit.

I think it's time for another contribution to the ACLU. They are working their butts off lately.
