Indiana Sen. Braun Would Back Overturning Decision Legalizing Interracial Marriage


The Times of Northwest Indiana is reporting that Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) told reporters in a conference call that he would support the Supreme Court overturning the 1967 “Loving v. Virginia" decision, which struck down state bans on interracial marriage.  Braun specifically added he is fine with interracial couples getting married in one state, and for other states refusing to recognize that marriage, claiming these issues should be up to the states, not the Federal Government.

Gee, I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and guess Sen. Braun probably does not plan to approve Ketanji Brown Jackson’s appointment to the Supreme Court.  Now, is it just me, or does it seem like more and more Republicans are intentionally saying all the “quiet parts” right out loud these days?  So, Sen. Braun would tell a married couple coming from another state that they are not legally married in his state.  Smart move.  That way, he could then turn around and charge them with “fornication.”


Anyway, I guess that means throwing Supreme Court Justice Clarence and Ginni Thomas’ marriage right out the window?  On the other hand, given Thomas’ voting record, I suspect Republicans might show some mercy and grant them one of their special “My Black Friend” exemptions.  Either that, or Justice Thomas might try and legalize his marriage by getting one of those “skin pigment augmentation” procedures like Michael Jackson had.  Hell, that should be all it takes to fool your average homeschooled Republican!


Sen. Braun explained his position by saying that "We're better off having states manifest their points of view, rather than homogenizing it across the country as Roe v. Wade did.”  Excellent point senator, because as everyone knows, having fifty completely different sets of rules for everything - is a much less complicated way to do business.  So, let’s just follow Sen. Braun’s lead and break up the Union into fifty little fiefdoms, each with their own laws, and all of them perpetually at war with one another.


Seems these so-called “states rights” Republicans appear to have forgotten the “United” part of the “United States.”  But I get it.  Republicans want their “freedom,” and nothing says freedom quite like your state government telling you who you can or cannot marry!  I mean, if the court did overthrow “Loving v. Virginia,” just think how insane life would be for someone who is biracial.  You couldn’t get married to a black person because you’re half-white, and you couldn’t marry a white person because you’re half-black.

 

Makes you wonder exactly how far back Republicans want to turn back the clock?  Back to the dinosaur era?  Hell, speaking of dinosaurs, with the way Republicans plan to run things, I can see many folks thinking we might be better off getting slammed by another meteorite.  For these folks, its the 1850s or bust!  What’s next for our Republican friends?  Abolish the 13th Amendment and make the practice of slavery up to the states also?


As for me, the way I see it is, it’s not all that complicated.  I mean, if you don't agree with interracial marriage, then don't marry someone from another race, and if you don't agree with abortion, don't get one.  Otherwise, how about keeping your big mouth shut and your nose out of other people’s business - you sanctimonious pricks!

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
