Looks like there won’t be a new congressional map in NC after all

 

Earlier this week I looked at a court decision in North Carolina which threatened to throw the midterm elections in that state into a top hat. After the GOP once again gerrymandered their congressional maps nearly to death in 2016, a court challenge resulted in their having to draw up a new map. After the map was challenged, the Supreme Court heard the case and ordered the court to take a fresh look at the new district lines, but they came to the same conclusion in August and ordered the state to draw a better map. But with the primaries already over and the ballots on hold for the general election, nobody seemed quite sure how they were going to comply with the court’s order.

 

By the end of this week, even the Democrats opposing the map seemed to have thrown up their hands and given up. At this point, the ballots are going to the printer and they’re just going to have to make do with the map they have until 2020. (Washington Post)

North Carolina will no doubt have a new map in time for the 2020 congressional elections. Will it be any better than this one?

 

Don’t count on it.

The dude sounds like Andrew Shepard  from "The American President."

 

Go to the 2:50 mark.

 

 

 


While I thought the American President was a cute movie, Marc Molinaro is much more attractive than Michael Douglas.

Andrew Gillum Asks That Race Not Be “Weaponized” As He Weaponizes Race

 

There probably hasn’t been a political race since 1980 in which the GOP candidate was not accused of being a racist. The strategy has been so successful that the NeverTrump faction of the GOP has started using that claim as their go-to attack on, it seems, virtually anyone against open borders or in favor of enforcing immigration law.

 

So it wasn’t much of a shock that the Democrat nominee for the Florida gubernatorial race, Andrew Gillum, led off with a charge of racism against GOP nominee Ron DeSantis. On Wednesday, literally hours after DeSantis won the GOP primary, he was accused of using a racist dog whistle when he used the term “monkey this up.” As an aside, aren’t the real racists the people that preemptively assume that every “monkey” or “ape” expression refers to black people? Would “ape sh**” be a racist dog whistle? And why are racists assumed to be attuned these catch phrases when it is the Democrats and the media who end up having to explain how the term is racist? Is there a racist decoder ring out there?

Gillum says he would raise taxes on corporations, not Floridians, to fund Medicare for all http://hill.cm/z2MG6sH

The massive pile of corporate money will magically fund socialist utopia with absolutely no downside for the average working American! *Eye roll*

Objection your honor

 

This question assumes facts not in evidence, is outside the scope and is argumentative

 

Well, it only took you this long to grasp the point of the question. Now, really amaze all of us and apply that same logic to your own suppositions about how Trump must be guilty because reasons.

What reasons do I think make him look guilty? 

 

I believe the Mueller investigation is serious and should be treated as such. Those calling this a witch hunt are ignorant fools.

Well, according to you, if you don't call someone out. Then you agree with it. So by you not calling him out for beating women,  you must think it's ok.

 

I'm just going by what you do.

Ah man, you missed my reference? You recognize that? It's a Rochester racing reference
