October 18, 2018: Any Means Necessary, Nefarious and Infamous, Get Out of Town


In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's nefarious decision rendered in the now infamous “Citizens United” case involving limits on campaign contributions, then President Barack Obama chastised the court warning that money would soon drown nearly all other political expression and become a threat to our republic. Justice Samuel Alito, sitting front and center, was seen shaking his head and muttering the word “no” in opposition. Alito, who has never stood for election and has never held responsibility for governing can be forgiven his ignorance if it weren't so ideologically inspired.

This decision, as well as the gutting of the enforcement provisions of the Voting Rights Act, reasoning, falsely, that the country had outgrown the need for federal supervision of the electoral process have laid the groundwork for the systematic manipulation of a determined minority in this country to silence the majority. All this to serve the interests of malignancy and greed.

The ink had not yet dried on the effective negation of the Voting Rights Act when states like North Carolina and Georgia, quickly followed by more than a score more, were introducing voter I.D. Laws using the wholly bogus claim of widespread voter fraud to erect barriers to those who generally vote to fetter capital and demand services. As time went by, even these measures weren't sufficient as the conservative drive to service only the top one percent kept running up against an albeit smaller but solid wall of opposition. Gaining majority in congress through crass gerrymandering, and electing two 'presidents' via the electoral college has give the scum control of the entire federal government, but so unpopular is the agenda of the political wrong that they have had to resort to shredding congressional rules and procedure to get even their ill-considered tax cut passed, normally—because it is the only thing Rescumlicans are able to do consistently—a “slam-dunk”.

Indeed, the scum had to run riot over the senate rule requiring 60 votes for a Supreme Court nomination because the choices presented were so unpopular.

How then to hold unto power. Simple. In the absence of effective federal oversight states have gone about gerrymandering districts and purging voter lists as the means to silencing the opposition. Earlier this year the court upheld a state law passed by the Rescumlican-dominated Ohio legislature purging the state's voter rolls of over 400,000 voters because they vote only in presidential election years. The court, employing the ever more frequent use of judicial levitation, reasoned that somehow exercising your political right not to vote mid-term or off-year elections invalidated your registration.

Of course, Democrats and the young tend to vote in higher numbers in presidential election cycles and, therefore, by employing this bit of political legerdemain, the conservatives are able to further strip the rolls in places like Ohio and Florida of hundreds of thousands of voices in opposition.

It get's worse. In the South hundreds of polling places are being closed, all most all in heavily black or Democratic precincts, causing voters to trek miles to the polls. In Dodge City, Kansas, a city now with a majority Hispanic population of 27,000, and over 7,000 registered voters, there was one polling place. Normally a polling place accommodates roughly 1,200 voters. This has, in recent years, led to long lines requiring hours of time to cast one's ballot. That wasn't good enough for the scum running the state. Due to the disgust with Disgustus, solid Rescumlican Kansas is experiencing highly competitive political contests for the first time in decades. What to do? Well in Dodge City, you get out of town.

That's right, they've moved the single polling place out of town, and over a mile from the nearest bus stop. And, because the scum control the state government and nobody in Washington is watching, there is nowhere for the good citizens to turn.

Then there is North Dakota where Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp is facing an uphill fight to keep her seat. She narrowly won last time around by about 3,000 votes, the margin largely determined by two Indian reservations that voted heavily in her favor. Answer: concoct a laser strike at the Native American population by requiring that all new Voter I. D.s require street addresses. Many on the reservations don't have street addresses, but post office box numbers instead. Passing this requirement on the eve of the balloting is designed to insure that thousands will come to vote only to be turned away.

This is how the scum—in addition to their usual tactics—plan to hold on to power. This is what happens when your leader is a fraud and so is your claim to represent the people.

Meanwhile the Rooskies are still at it and, reports are filtering in that the Chinese and even the Saudi's are joining in the manipulations of our coming election.

An Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”

Impeach and Imprison.
