SCOTUS: No longer content with stacking, they're now dealing from the bottom of the deck

They actually caught Cruz googleing his name and trying to see if he was trending on twitter shortly after his rampage. Everything they do it to get elected and fundraise. I strongly suspect most of them aren't even that racist themselves, they just know they can make money acting like it. Thats worse though, imo.

Tucker Carlson Argues Black SCOTUS Noms Should Think Like Rappers, And I Can’t Make This Headline Sound Less Awful

 

Fox News host Tucker Carlson wants to know: If Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson really represents Black women, then why doesn’t she think like a street rapper?

 

After the Senate finished its first day of questioning in Jackson’s confirmation hearings on Tuesday, Carlson complained on his show that the nominee’s views “really seem like those of every affluent white liberal I’ve ever met.”

 

“If you want a Black candidate – I’m serious, I think the country would get better representation from…,” the Fox News host trailed off before saying, “She’s just a carbon copy of everyone in the neighborhood I spent my life in,” referring to La Jolla in San Diego.

 

Then Carlson threw in an extra helping of racism when his guest, right-wing commentator Clay Travis, claimed that Democrats were angling for “cosmetic diversity” with Jackson’s nomination.

 

“If you picked a rap star off the street, that person’s views would more likely be closer to the views of the average American than the views of this woman, I would argue,” Carlson said

“I would bet money on it, actually,” he added.

I've long believed this to be the case. I think the vast majority of them don't believe in racism any more than they do the faith they claim to hold so dear. It's just a persona they use to get elected and motivate their base.

I'm glad that he acknowledged that Dubya picked Uncle Thomas for the purpose of cosmetic diversity. The unintended funniest and truest comment he made was that she's like everyone else in his neighborhood. So you mean, black people are *GASP* just like everyone else??🤯🤯🤯

It’s actually worse. A staunch conservative and Harvard Law graduate I know said both Cruz and Hawley are exceptionally bright legal minds but they have chosen to destroy their reputation and dignity to be part of the MAGA clown show.

Just curious, when did Ted Cruz ever have a reputation higher than a sewer rat?

From what I've read, Ted Cruz is actually a brilliant guy.  His list of accomplishments is pretty solid, schools, awards, etc.  Though from what I've seen, he was still considered an annoying dick by his peers even back then.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall plays a critical role in the group that helped organize the protest and rally that preceded the riots, attack and attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. 

 

Marshall leads the Republican Attorneys General Association’s dark-money nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, which is listed as a participating organization for the March to Save America on the march’s website, as are the groups Stop the Steal, Tea Party Patriots and Turning Point Action.

 

Prior to the protest, the Republican Attorneys General Association sent out robocalls detailing when and where citizens should meet. 

 

“I’m calling for the Rule of Law Defense Fund with an important message,” the robocall stated,. “The march to save Amrica is tomorrow in Washington D.C. at the Ellipse in President’s Park between E St. and Constitution Avenue on the south side of the White House, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections."

My impression of Cruz vibes with that.   He is intelligent, but has a narcissistic personality.

[Dan T.]

From photos and videos, my sense is even Cruz's wife and kids find him repugnant.

[Llevron]

Ted Cruz is a ****ing idiot and I find it amusing to watch you guys go out of your way to give the pig ****er credit for his intelligence 🤣

I disagree. Even if you act like fake racist; to me you are a racist. If you need to act racist to raise money and get votes; then you are racist.

I disagree. If you're a dyed in the wool racist, I vehemently dislike you and disagree with your foolishness. However, I can at least respect your devotion to your foolishness and see the chance of redemption if you change your mind, which does happen. For the morons like Cruz, they're just users that believe in nothing other than their own self interest. So in their case, I vehemently dislike them and have zero respect for them. It's kind of sad when someone can have less respect for you than a member of a hate group.

I'm sure there are some sewer rats that are pretty smart, relatively speaking.

Maybe Ginni Thomas's text messages also can enlighten us as to who paid off Kavanaugh's debt as well and why Justice Kennedy up and retired with pretty much no warning?

Funny how the not so secret messages are bing finally exposed. Clarence's illness is coincidental though. 🤔

What about Kyrsten "Karen" Sinema though?

 

 

Edit: And I have to say how slimy it is that the GOP, with NOTHING to attack Ketanji Brown Jackson about, made a conscious decision to smear her with a "soft on child porn" attack based on absolutely nothing.  Just a despicable  display.  Her sentencing record was well in the mainstream of Federal judges on those cases.  But by bringing up those cases over and over again, it gave cowards like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell the cover to vote against her.  "I'm voting against child predators."  Bull****. 

 

And it also played right into their QAnon idiot base who see child porn and child trafficking everywhere they look.
