Are You Scared Now?

Posted on September 21, 2020 by rikyrah
I’m not going to BS you.

The RBG death is serious business.

I have written several times and have meant it everytime:

Those responsible for this will NEVER BE FORGIVEN.😠😠😠
I’m not talking about the people who voted for Dolt45.

No. That’s not who I am talking about.
I’m talking about those, who were told, that, if for no other reason, you should do it for The Courts.



I remember their snide response:

“ You can’t scare me with the Court.”

Are you scared now, mofos?

DO NOT SIT THIS ELECTION OUT.
STAND UP AND VOTE!

not think I even once got the courtesy of the whines you mention. It was flat out ignored. Every single time.

I have felt exactly what you are stating since the day RBG died. Til I am in my grave, I will be in the face of anyone that tries to pass this off as anything but disgusting.

Fuck all the Bernie Bros that did not vote because your guy did not get in, and everyone that ‘Just couldn’t vote for Hillary.” Fuck you forever. It is not like this wasn’t foreseen.

Check out the Facebook Group "Human Reform Politics."

A bunch of dummies there are either voting Green or writing in Bernie (no matter what he says).

She wasn't an unknown single voter.

She was an actress of dubious talent that went on every talk show that would have her to advocate for tRump. Why? Because her candidate of choice lost.

How is that revolution going for ya Sue?

Exactly. And... Nina Turner. And... Cornell West. And to some extent the perpetual negativity coming from Michael Moore was motivated by the same feelings of resentment and an inability to handle their own disappointment in a mature and productive way.

All I'm trying to say is that this is the delayed (but certain) results and consequences of their tantrums. Of that there can be no doubts. I'll despise them forever. If any of them suddenly departed this plane, I wouldn't shed a single tear.

She lost every ounce of respect I had for her when she called Hillary worse than trump. When she attacked Delores Huerta for not voting for HER preferred candidate was the last straw.

There was a dust up between Dolores and a young actress, Rosario Dawson and activist for BS.

The competition for the Latino vote in the Democratic presidential primary has so intensified that it has pit a civil rights icon against the actress and activist who played her in a movie.

Rosario Dawson, a Bernie Sanders supporter, has taken on Dolores Huerta, the farmworker and labor organizer and lifelong activist who Dawson portrayed in the movie "Cesar Chavez." Huerta supports Clinton.

snip


In the feud, accusations have been lodged by Dawson, 36, about Huerta, 85, eroding her legacy of work in civil rights and being an "instrument of the establishment," and from fans of Huerta who have accused Dawson of failing to show respect to a woman with years on her in activism and fighting for Latinos.


Fact is Delores was an activist for decades Rosario played one on film.

the economy and our status in the world. The sooner it is over the better for our campaign it gives us one more thing to over which to get out the vote.

Besides, Kushner and others want us to waste time and money on this lost cause. We need to press hard about the assault on our democracy, on our healthcare, and on the distribution of wealth upward in this country. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY OUR MESSAGES.

By the mid-1990s the influence of the Italian mafia in NYC decreased, replaced by an influx of criminals from the former USSR because of loosening immigration laws. Italian mafia was mostly local, Russian infiltrated Wall Street, corporations, and other transnational white-collar crime. Loosening financial regulations allowed "elite criminal networks to flourish, contributing to the soaring income inequality and corporate corruption that decimated the fortunes of average Americans."

"As American officials capitulated, Russian oligarchs shored up influence by other means. They spent the post recession era investing in US banks, corporations, real estate, social media companies, and nongovernmental organizations, to the point that the head of the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative, an American organization dedicated to exposing threats of kleptocracy regimes to civic life, quit in protest when it was found that the Kleptocracy Initiative was secretly bankrolled by Ukrainian-born oligarch Len Blavatnik. The Trump administration is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government. The foundation of this edifice was formed not when Trump took office, but decades before, through prolonged engagement with criminal or criminal-adjacent actors linked to hostile regimes, in particular, the Kremlin and oligarch network."

The Republican Party is a post-policy criminal organization and the nation's citizens easily manipulated by conspiracy theories.

"That minority buried itself in institutions for decades, infiltrating, debasing, and over time merging with the organizations they sought to destroy. They hid in plain sight, pulling the fringes to the center, and thereby ensured that the center could not hold -- and that exposure of this corruption would be dismissed as conspiracy mongering. What Americans rejected in 2016 was not trust but discernment."

But Obama used drone warfare and Hillary sent emails and was paid for a speech, so...
