These people are playing a dangerous game. Greene thinks this is politics and riling the base. What they don’t understand is just how stupid and ignorant her base is. The republican base is dumb with no nuance, vision, or critical thinking skills.  Listening to her, they will take her seriously.  Violent conflict is…

He cannot get around this one.  Federal conviction means that no state can swear him in.  It is an immediate disqualification.  The jurisdictions cannot get around it either.  To do that would mean that their commission to have municipal officers would be null and void.  No one, even a little racist bullshit town,…

I saw the picture and closed the browser.  Then I reopened to read the article.  I can’t anymore with this shit.  

That speaks to another issues:  most states have too many fucking counties.  NC has 100 counties alone.  That is 100 little despot sheriffs.  100 little ways to dilute the vote and disenfranchise the choices of other.  

Ah, so after 40+ years, a DA’s office will apply Mapp v. Ohio and Carroll v. US. Nice!

Never lets me down.  

They really cannot handle that the scales of power just slightly, ever so slightly, are tipping.  

The problem with this whole fiasco is that we know the truth. January 6th was a planned insurrection. It was illegal. It was an attack on the government and democracy. If those savages found Speaker Pelosi she would not be alive today. If the found Representative Ocasio-Cortez she would not be alive today.

What is the issue with trolls on this site? I am seeing more and more out of the grays. Is it ownership attempting to make commentary into a fistfight? Is management (not The Root staff) ungraying trolls? Half the comments here are about a fucking troll. WTF?

It should not matter that he got a plea deal to a misdemeanor. The training officers that do background investigations should have seen the charge, looked at the original police report and the original charge, and dismissed his application. It is not like he did this as a teenager. He was an adult.

Kwame Kilpatrick not Kwame Brown. But if you think about the smoke Brown brought, it kinda fits too.

This excuse is magnificent. This is some Kwame Brown shit. We have all been there when one of ours gets caught up. We stand in awe with our mouths in an “oh” position in silence. Then someone finally speaks:

Stolen from the Twitter thread:

I have interviewed and interrogated many white people in my career. I have been witness to some of the most creative justifications for their actions. So creative that I want to send these ideas to Hollywood. Children do this all the time. As we come of age, we grow out of it, becoming adults and taking responsibility…

This, this, and This!

There are so many other worthy voices on The Root, yet this ass is still ungreyed.

Well, let’s look at the bright side. If enough white people get convicted of felonies, then maybe states will allow felons to vote!

You bring up Robert Byrd, a former Grand Cyclops of the KKK, yet you get your panties in a bunch because of Skeffles’ statement. The reason people give WVA shit because of their embrace of Trump and racism. You make excuses regarding jobs and family but it does not excuse you from embracing a monster and an ideology…

You love to see it. 

I appreciate your efforts in highlighting new authors. I have brought well, four now with this article, books because of It’s Lit!
