No platform = No Debating

FifySupermarkets nationwide are facing fresh produce shortages within days — over $150,000,000 worth of produce is halted at the Texas-Mexico border right now because of Greg Abbott. The United States relies on Mexico for over half of its R voters
In their defense they wanted real proof not just pillow talk. And to do things legally.

Washington (CNN)In the weeks between the 2020 election and the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, almost 100 text messages from two staunch GOP allies of then-President Donald Trump reveal an aggressive attempt to lobby, encourage and eventually warn the White House over its efforts to overturn the election, according to messages obtained by the House select committee and reviewed by CNN.
They have that to their credit and they didn't vote for the bullshit, unlikely to be indicted, but it does prove the intent of others etc and will be useful for hanging the rest of the fuckers.In their defense they wanted real proof not just pillow talk.

it'll be in court in a few days, and a judge will end up drawing a map that at least follows the laws....what the fuck were they thinking, letting a blatant racist, sexist, bigot like desantis draw the map? why didn't they just ask the judge thats going to end up doing it to do it in the first place?Florida state senator: DeSantis redistricting map ‘overtly racist’
Black lawmakers in Florida are denouncing Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) latest congressional redistricting plan, with one state senator calling it “overtly racist.”
DeSantis’s new plan, submitted Wednesday, could help Republicans pick up four seats in the House this fall, multiple outlets have reported. This would effectively wipe out Democrats’ national redistricting gains so far, which The Cook Political Report places at a net 1.5 seats.
The new plan would do this in part by likely reducing the number of districts where Black voters are a plurality. Rep. Al Lawson (D-Fla.) told the Orlando Sentinel the plan “is a continued scheme by DeSantis to erase minority access districts in Congress in order to create more seats for the Republican party.”
DeSantis has specifically argued that the majority Black North Florida district represented by Lawson, which stretches along the Florida-Georgia border from Tallahassee to Jacksonville, is unconstitutional. DeSantis vetoed a congressional map approved by the GOP-controlled state legislature in March that didn’t eliminate that district, the state’s 5th.
The new map would break up that district. It would also reduce black voting power in St. Petersburg and Orlando, according to The Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman.
“The fact he has the gall to do something like this clearly shows what he thinks of minorities and black voters,” Florida state Sen. Randolph Bracy (D), who represents Orlando and is running for Congress in a district that would lose Black Democratic voters under DeSantis’s proposed map, told the Sentinel. “This is the most overtly racist action that you can do.”
The legislature gave DeSantis the power to draw a new map Monday after months of intraparty feuding to ensure the governor’s approval, allowing him to fulfill his previous demands.
“Our goal during the special session is to pass a new congressional map that will both earn the Governor’s signature and withstand legal scrutiny, if challenged,” Florida state Senate President Wilton Simpson (R) and state House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R) wrote in a memo to fellow lawmakers.
In March, a federal judge struck down parts of a controversial Florida election law that he said had “the intent to discriminate against Black voters.” The court invalidated certain limits the law placed on ballot boxes, voter registration by third parties and the distributing of water to those in line at the polls.
Republicans might face another battle in court with DeSantis’s new plan. In recent years, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Fair Maps ballot measure that limits the degree of gerrymandering in the redistricting process.

The legislator drew the maps. Desantis vetoed them. There is one black district in the north where Al Lawson serves. There is a long connector between Jax and Tally and that what he is changing. Special session has been called to try again.it'll be in court in a few days, and a judge will end up drawing a map that at least follows the laws....what the fuck were they thinking, letting a blatant racist, sexist, bigot like desantis draw the map? why didn't they just ask the judge thats going to end up doing it to do it in the first place?
man the minorities in Florida have to mobilize and get the fuck out and vote, Florida is only 53% white, it's 26% latino, 17% black, and 5 or 6 % other, thats 48 or 49 %...how many of that 53% of white people actually get out and vote? if the minorities can turn out big, they can kick desantis's cart right the fuck over, which would be a beautiful thing to seeThe legislator drew the maps.

Biden needs to have a press conference to deal with abbott's bullshit. just state clearly what he is doing, and why. let the American people know who is to blame for food shortages, auto parts shortages, higher prices...lay it all directly at abbott's feet, and the feet of the gop, let them deal with the fall out.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just admitted Greg Abbott’s strategy of economic sabotage out loud on Fox News: “The governor has figured out we can stop trade along the border, slow it down, and it will create pressure” to achieve Republican political goals.
Maybe a federal criminal indictment for breaking the law and stepping out of his lane and a federal lawsuit for the costs of impeding trade against him personally. Also a class action suit by those afflicted by his stupidity and treason.Biden needs to have a press conference to deal with abbott's bullshit. just state clearly what he is doing, and why. let the American people know who is to blame for food shortages, auto parts shortages, higher prices...lay it all directly at abbott's feet, and the feet of the gop, let them deal with the fall out.
If he is impeding Canadian free trade, then the state department needs to be involved and squash him like a fucking bug.Biden needs to have a press conference to deal with abbott's bullshit. just state clearly what he is doing, and why. let the American people know who is to blame for food shortages, auto parts shortages, higher prices...lay it all directly at abbott's feet, and the feet of the gop, let them deal with the fall out.
