Some Republicans lawmakers in Georgia sent a letter Saturday to Kevin Perry, president of the Georgia Beverage Association, demanding that all Coca-Cola products be removed from their office suites "immediately"—after the corporation came out against sweeping GOP-backed legislation that reformed the state's elections.
In their letter to Perry, eight members of the Georgia House Representatives—Victor Anderson, Clint Crowe, Matt Barton, Jason Ridley, Lauren McDonald III, Stan Gunter, Dewayne Hill and Marcus Wiedower—complained about Coca-Cola giving in to "cancel culture" before saying that they no longer wanted the company's products in their offices.
The conservative in question is the Honorable Justice Breyer
Quote:
"The present court is often described as having a 'conservative' majority," said Breyer, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton. "But the court did not hear or decide cases that affected political disagreements arising out of the 2020 ... election. It did uphold the constitutionality of Obamacare, the health care program favored by liberals. It did reaffirm precedents that favored a woman's right to an abortion."*
I ain’t a constitutional scholar like Breyer but I’m pretty sure he is referencing a couple of different 5-4 decisions from when RBG was still on the court which is some disingenuous fuckshit when trying to argue that the current court isn’t shifted.
In this case, I’m using conservative pretty narrowly and applying it only to his view on Supreme Court change.
“But don’t fall prey to Democrats and others saying, ‘Well, Abbott didn’t complain about this in the past,’ he concluded. “What they need to focus on is exactly what I called attention to last month in Dallas, Texas, where I pointed out then that there were going to be instances of child sexual abuse taking place.”
Don't pay attention to the fact I didn't give a shit about thousands of sexual abuse incidents, pay attention to the fact that I knew it would be a problem going forward because it was in the past back when I said nothing.
I literally just want a reporter or someone to ask them to talk a little about this Anglo-Saxon culture they are intent on preserving. Not that it would change anyone's mind about anything. It'd just be funny to see what they come up with.
OMG OMG YOU GUYS SOMEBODY CONVINCE THEM TO CALL IT THE 1066 PROJECT.
"D.C. wouldn't even qualify as a singular congressional district and here they are, they want the power and the authority of being an entire state in the United States -- and they want that power." Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.)
At face value, this argument may appear vaguely persuasive. The average population of a U.S. congressional district -- not a whole state, just a district -- is over 700,000 residents, and D.C.'s population is a little shy of that total.
The trouble is, two states -- Wyoming and Vermont -- have fewer people than D.C. By Mace's reasoning, those states "wouldn't even qualify as a singular congressional district," either. The fact that the South Carolina congresswoman was standing a few feet from House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney -- Wyoming's sole representative in the House -- made the circumstances a bit more ironic.
“The era of big government is over,” POTUS Bill Clinton famously declared in his 1996 State of the Union address.
versus:
Biden has consciously cloaked himself in the legacy of FDR, to hark back to an earlier age of liberalism when government pulled the country out of despair.
I especially liked the use of “un-gaslight” while repeating ‘accusations’ he admits he himself doesn’t believe. It’s just like their abuse of ‘woke’ and ‘cancel’ as soon as a word to describe their tricks spreads, they must dilute it so others don’t wise up.
“Ms. Clarke, Martin Luther King famously said that he had a dream of the day when his children would be known by the content of their character and not the color of their skin,” Cornyn said. “Do you agree with that?”
“Absolutely, senator,” Clarke responded.
“Well maybe there’s a misprint. … But I’m sure you can clear it up for me, dating back to your days in school when you seemed to argue that African Americans were genetically superior to Caucasians,” Cornyn said, furrowing his brow. “Is that correct?”
