Apparently a local GOP group in Alabama posted KKK inagery on their Facebook page recently. When called out they apologized , but let's face it, both the Republican Party and Alabama are stereotyped for their racism and stereotypes exist for a reason. So ... was it unintentional or were they just not expecting the backlash? Image they shared:

The racists who make up MAGA love showing their racism whenever they get a chance, then they'll deny being a racist. It would be funny-sad if it weren't true

[There really does need to be a Blogger widget so posting isn't so cumbersome] Mitch McConnell is either trying to save face or save his ass. Rumor-mill had it that McConnell secretly despised Donald Trump and what Trump did to the Republican Party, but Mitch also recognized a useful tool. He bid his time, acquiesced to Trump's popularity among Republicans and now - when it's nearly over - he steps into the light and speaks truth to Trump and his hoard of supporters.       "They were fed lies." But this isn't just McConnell trying to save face, it's him trying to reign in the rest of the GOP that supported Donald Trump's insanity. It's him trying to recover what remains of the Right and save the Senate and House seats he can.  Mitch McConnell spent the past four years pandering to Donald Trump's inane inadequacies. He covered nfoe the President (less than 24 hours left until he's an ex-president) and shielded Trump from removal ...

I know I harp on #DonaldTrump quite a bit, but the modern #GOP as a whole is working to systematically dismantle what makes the USA the USA and historians will judge them harshly. From Mitch McConnell denying President Obama his Constitutional right to sit a Supreme Court Justice, to the political hacks known as Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanagh, the modern Republican party is routinely putting party and agenda over the people of the USA. One can only imagine their caucus meeting being something like this: GOP Senator 1: Let's burn the world. GOP Senator 2: Cool, the fire will be pretty. GOP Senator 3: This sounds awesome, I'll bring the marshmallows. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/03/senate-confirms-dangerous-religious-extremist-allison-rushing-as-federal-judge/ … in 2005 Rushing penned an article for Engage, The Federalist Society’s journal, entitled “Nothing to Stand On: ‘Offended Observers’ and the Ten Commandmen...

How deep into #Republicans is Russia really? Seriously, is it knuckle? Wrist? Elbow? #TrumpNation Originally shared by Meg Tufano Man.

More #Republicans are leaving the #GOP. The billionaire CEO reportedly said in a speech last year that he was “ashamed” by Trump’s response to the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., that erupted in violence and led to the death of a 32-year-old woman. Originally shared by Joseph Milan I believe he is the wealthiest man of any party in Ohio. Of course he takes the typical disgusted Republican way out by calling himself an 'independent' But still http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/406822-wealthiest-republican-supporter-in-ohio-quits-party

This is important. Pay attention. _August 16, 2018 STATEMENT FROM FORMER SENIOR INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS As former senior intelligence officials, we feel compelled to respond in the wake of the ill-considered and unprecedented remarks and actions by the White House regarding the removal of John Brennan’s security clearances. We know John to be an enormously talented, capable, and patriotic individual who devoted his adult life to the service of this nation. Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless. Since leaving government service John has chosen to speak out sharply regarding what he sees as threats to our national security. Some of the undersigned have done so as well. Others among us have elected to take a different course and be more circumspect in our public pronouncements. Regardless, we all agree that the president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do...

Wow. To what depths will #Republicans not sink in #TrumpNation? A Florida candidate creates a false diploma to prove she's more educated than she is. And yet, somehow I think she'll have her supporters just like Trump who believe she's creative and ingenious for lying about her credentials.

I don't know why the #GOP is whining, these are the people they cultivated for decades. The "southern strategy" and both the overt and subvert race-baiting brought them to the now. They've overwhelmingly supported #DonaldTrump as he makes repeated racial statements and aligned themselves wholeheartedly with #TrumpNation. Reaping and sowing. #Republicans https://www.vox.com/2018/7/9/17525860/nazis-russell-walker-arthur-jones-republicans-illinois-north-carolina-virginia

Tell congressional #Republicans what you really think. #DonaldTrump #TrumpNation #GOP https://act.nrcc.org/stand-with-trump-poll

Ah ... #DOnaldTrump. You definitely bring out the bigotry in #Republicans. In her post, Carnahan, who was born in South Korea and adopted by Minnesota parents, wrote that “Some (sadly) Republican Party leaders/executive committee members around this state have made racist comments about me, and to me — calling me ‘dragon lady, a ch*nk, a stupid Asian not even born in America’ and other awful racial slurs.” In #TrumpNation everyone is free to be a racist ass. http://m.startribune.com/minnesota-gop-chairwoman-says-she-s-faced-racism-sexism-from-fellow-republicans/486298651/

Do the police need more protections from citizens? A majority of #Democrats, and nearly all #Republicans, seem to think so. https://splinternews.com/house-democrats-line-up-to-vote-en-masse-for-totally-un-1826115862/amp?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=Splinter_twitter&__twitter_impression=true

More proof that the #Democrats can't do anything but give the #Republicans their way. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/17/gina-haspel-confirmed-as-cia-director-first-woman-to-lead-agency.html

What I read in this article: In order to keep their seats, #Republicans are willing to sacrifice rule of law and support an authoritarian #DonaldTrump, thus dragging this nation ever more closely to unadulterated fascism. If you haven't been frightened of #TrumpNation yet, you should be by now. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/05/07/trump-rages-about-mueller-in-an-effort-to-stave-off-disaster/

I'm confused, is it capitalism or socialism when a government controls production? [Yes, I know what the answer is. Yes, I know it's more complicated than that. Yes, I'm making a point about #Republicans touting the market as some sort of lassaiz faire god but they repeatedly pick and choose which industries/companies to "bail out"] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/04/white-house-reportedly-exploring-yet-another-wartime-rule-to-help-coal-nuclear/

Meghan McCain has never been what one might call bright, but here she just embarrasses herself and her father's legacy. Are all #Republicans disassociated from the truth? https://splinternews.com/meghan-mccains-face-off-with-james-comey-made-me-want-t-1825360275

Per the #Republicans the "middle class" make a measly $450k a year and therefore must be protected from overburdening taxes. Are you "middle class" as defined by the #GOP? In #TrumpNation cognizant dissonance is the name of the game. http://www.newsweek.com/tax-cuts-republicans-middle-class-trump-701094

For the record, Conservatives in Tennessee think it's okay to let children get married as long as they can continue the fight against gay marriage. Yes, you read that right. #GOP #Republicans #GayMarriage http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/377367-tennessee-gop-kill-ban-on-child-marriage
