Matt Gaetz and 19 Other Republicans Vote Against Reauthorizing Sex Trafficking Law

“His words could have come from the most ardent anti-Indian racist of a bygone era”

Well be does represent a party made up of ardent racists, bigots, and criminals.

“A state has jurisdiction over all of its territory, including Indian country,” Brett Kavanaugh wrote, resting his argument on a false 10th amendment claim, which doesn’t authorize states to intervene in tribal affairs.

His words could have come from the most ardent anti-Indian racist of a bygone era. Asserting state criminal jurisdiction over Native lands has been a primary tactic of legally eliminating Native people. Chief Justice John Roberts’ court draws from a long tradition of violent conquest, going back to Cherokee removal in the 19th century and to the termination policies of the 20th.

The rightwing supreme court has another target: Native American rights

The future well being and even existence of many native American peoples is threatened by such bigoted perversion of legislation. Where Kavanaugh is concerned this is no surprise.

I bring to mind that first track by Johnny Cash on his ‘Ride This Train Album’ which suggests that the native tribes will be remembered long after Kavanaugh has turned into a rotten corpse, one stage of that transformation having already begun.

BBD,

“Locus, you ignorant, bigoted, lying, stupid, piece of shit.”

You’ve got your commenters muddled, but it’s a fair assessment of your character, even though I didn’t write it.

The mastodons days were numbered. As winter approached, their herd would be weakened by an early November storm and by the constant harassment from the far more intelligent humans.

“Liberals are fascists. Their only motivation is their own wealth and power.”

As per usual irony is not a Trumpist’s strong suit.

Liberals are fascists?

I’d say you shouldn’t use words you don’t understand, but then you’d never be able to say anything.

Oh – don’t use words you don’t understand.

“Locus, you ignorant, bigoted, lying, stupid, piece of shit.”

1. I was quoting from “The Atlantic”, a left of center magazine.

2. The point was that liberals have CHANGED their rhetoric dramatically.

Obama, or any other Democrat, would never talk about resentment or frustration with immigration. They’d be called raaaaaaaaaaaaacist!

The Greenwald quote you provided was from six years later, demonstrating the point that liberals have CHANGED how they talk about immigration.

Krugman is the worst. Back in 2005, he was claiming that Republicans wanted to increase immigration to drive down wages and make more profits for rich industrialists.

3. As the article points out, the dramatic shift in the liberal stance is entirely cynical. They looked at the exit polls from 2008 and 2012 and decided to embrace large scale immigration in order to create an unchallenged one party state.

Liberals are fascists. Their only motivation is their own wealth and power.

Somebody needs to save the Republicans from themselves.
Our two party system requires two reasonable sides, and now, we have a weak Democratic party that recognizes science, humanist values and enlightenment principles, and a Republican party that is guided by hubris, ego, greed, mythology and Russian mis-guidance. You better get your shit together soon Republicans. This is not currently working out at all, and it threatens the future of our country.
