Georgia Governor Signs Sweeping Voter Suppression Bill Into Law


Georgia Governor Signs Sweeping Voter Suppression Bill Into Law:  Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has signed into law an extremely controversial and sweeping voting measure, that Republicans claim is necessary to finally put a stop to voter fraud, but critics say it will ultimately lead to long lines, partisan control of elections and more difficult procedures for voters trying to cast their ballots by mail.  The bill also criminalizes any third-party groups who try and provide water or snacks to voters in line. 

Now, who could possibly find anything wrong with Georgia’s Republicans ensuring that precincts in minority communities will have waits of up to 8-10 hours in order to vote?  Or, with making it a crime for volunteers to provide water or snacks to those stuck in those long lines for all that time?  I mean, just think of it as a wonderful opportunity to get to catch up on what’s new with all your friends and neighbors.


Of course, they’ll always be those damn skeptics who’ll argue that if a U.S. combat soldier captures an enemy soldier, the Geneva Convention requires them to at least provide that enemy soldier with water - so why wouldn’t we extend that same humanitarian compassion toward our own American voters?


Well, the answer to that is this is Georgia, and Georgia’s state politics are primarily run by Republicans who don’t want no damn stinking “humanitarianism.”  They want “liberty!”  And “liberty” means the God-given right of every Republican candidate get to elected or reelected - by any means necessary.


Hey, I think I’ve got an idea!  How about having all those folks delivering the bottled water and snacks to thirsty voters - wear military fatigues and have AR-15s strapped over their shoulders instead of wearing their usual clothes?  Hell, that ought to be enough to completely confuse any Georgia Republicans and their enforcers.


Why, I can see it all now - - COP:  You aren’t carrying any water or snacks in that backpack are you fella?  POLL VOLUNTEER:  No sir, officer!  Just guns and lots and lots of ammo.  COP:  OK, then - go on ahead son.  And, thank you for your patriotism.  You see, Georgia Republicans have concluded that the only way to truly prevent “voter fraud,” is to prevent most citizens from voting.  Why, who said Lester Maddox is dead?

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...
