The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

Courts said NC GOP's voter suppression targeted blacks with "surgical precision, struck down its gerrymandered districts twice, and convicted GOP operatives in a rare but major mail-in voter fraud case from 2018. But it's worried *others* won't be fair? charlotteobserver.com/opinion/editor…

The Republican Party, once again solidifying itself as the party of pedophiles and rapists.

Sadly, no. I have a list committed to memory. I don’t recall where I first heard it - probably the Scottish. They have the best insults.

I’m unclear from that whether the feds are going after him for the same set of facts as his original conviction, or if he did something new.

So are they letting crowds into the arenas for WWE?

If they put someone in a Trump mask every night and let him get pummelled, I"ll tune in.

forgeforsaken · 2020-04-14T23:34:26.532Z

I’ve still got like 60 hours of backlogged television shows, possibly double that, who is starved for content? Are they not aware of all these streaming services?

MikeOberly · 2020-04-14T23:46:56.958Z

I get the feeling that DeSantis is a pretty dumb dude…

LockerK · 2020-04-14T23:53:54.503Z

No, they’re thankfully still running a minimal crew in their training center with no crowds. Some of the wrestlers are better at adapting to the environment than others which makes for some awkward TV.

The obvious reason he’s doing this is because of the McMahons’ ties to Trump.

DeSantis grants this favor, which will save WWE millions, as Linda McMahon announces that her Super Pac is dropping $18.5 million dollars into Florida for Trump reelection. What a bunch of bottom feeders. twitter.com/MiamiHerald/st…

This is outrageous: instead of passing emergency vote by mail law, Kentucky GOP enacted new voter ID law when DMVs are closed & voters can’t get ID needed to vote & it will go into effect in same year Mitch McConnell up for re-election twitter.com/joshuaadouglas…

I’m not sure if which would be more satisfying to see, Trump or McConnell going down. One can only hope we get both.

McConnell would be more satisfying. Trump is more of a relief because we get to keep being free.

The food bank is calling on people of all faiths to fast for Good Friday to help ease the suffering caused by this crisis, and you’re encouraged to donate to the San Antonio Food Bank the value of the meals you missed.
