The tipping point. ::  April 7, 2023

Robert B. Hubbell

         I cannot leave the events of today without comment. In three respects, America reached a tipping point on Thursday. It may take months or years for us to appreciate that fact, but historians will mark April 6, 2023, as the high water mark of the retrograde, anti-democracy movement of MAGA extremism.

         In particular, the naked racism of Tennessee Republicans in expelling two Black legislators but not a white legislator for identical conduct in protesting gun deaths of schoolchildren has removed any ambiguity about the racial animus of MAGA extremism. One commentator described the events in the Tennessee legislature as the birth of “the New Civil Rights Movement.” Because that second birth occurred under the scourge of gun violence directed at children, the merger of those movements will be unstoppable. We witnessed two powerful voices emerge in Tennessee on Thursday. They will become national leaders in a movement that will attract new constituencies to the civil rights, anti-gun movement.

         The second tipping point was the publication of the Pro Publica report that exposed the grotesque corruption of Justice Clarence Thomas. Thomas accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars (possibly millions) in the form of free travel from a Republican megadonor and failed to report those gifts as required. In truth, the corruption of Justice Thomas has been replicated by other members of the conservative majority on the US Supreme Court. We need only scratch the surface to find that corruption. There is no turning back. And make no mistake, John Roberts has presided over the open wound of corruption during his entire tenure. He must be held accountable for his dereliction of duty, as well.

         Finally, Idaho has criminalized the constitutionally protected right to travel across interstate lines. MAGA extremists have converted the Dobbs ruling that there is no right of privacy in the Constitution into a perverse mandate to deny Americans other rights that are plainly protected by the Constitution. They are doing so under the guise of regulating reproductive liberty. That strategy will lead to the demise of the GOP. Indeed, we have seen the seeds of their destruction in Kansas, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Is it finally sinking in?

Thank you, Georgia!

😡🤬🖕

RepubliKKKlans lie, cheat, and steal. They have no moral compass, no family values, no dignity or respect. How can anyone continue to support such a group of criminals.

No shame.

Live from the courtroom.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

The story above this in my news feed was about cops murdering a 15-year old girl who was doing what they told her to do. But Trump can post pictures of Biden as a murder victim and threaten a judge's daughter.

And the NO SH*T SHERLOCK award goes to the US Justice system. Truly made in the USA where a scam artist, grifting, serial rapist can be under 3 indictments and still roam the country conning more idiots into giving him more money. Truly astounding how colonialism never freaking ends....white power seems to never freaking end....it just never ends!!! I don't know how much more disgust and outrage we can handle especially when the rest of us are literally dying out here under the threat of law and order just trying to be ourselves. 🔥☄️

This is why they REALLY want to BAN TikTok…

Have a listen. Pretty amazing.

An innocent person doesn’t lead or surround himself with criminals.

Trump is the central figure in every charge these people face or faced. He has been a rich white collar criminal for years long before appearing on The Apprentice.

He will burn America and anyone in his way whether loyal to him or not to save his own ass. He must never be in The White House again.
