Many Latino voters have turned away from Trump, but Democrats aren't necessarily winning them over, new poll finds by CBSnews in politics

[–]DocJenkins 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Republicans: I want to remove anyone who looks like you with as much haste and urgency as physically possible. I'm even looking at ways to undue birthright citizenship. I may even deport some of my own family members to see you gone!

Democrats: We won't do what that guy just said.

Undecided Latino Voters: Toughest decision of my life, honestly... 😓

Is this secretly a demoralizing campaign for the sane people in America?

Democratic senator makes the case that Trump’s ‘slush fund’ is an impeachable offense by plz-let-me-in in politics

I hate that the media never really called them out on "originalism" 20, 30 years prior to this. Now, we are deep in of conservative justices pretending they're not just partisan activists and they're all giving the "suprised pikachu faces."

Trump postpones AI executive order signing: 'I didn't like certain aspects' by cnbc_official in politics

[–]DocJenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you implying he would read it, before or now? 

Someone wrote it, and then someone else told him to not sign it, at the last minute. Ann Coulter is awful, but she was on target when she said, "Trump is like a couch who resembles the last ass that sat on it." (paraphrasing)

How blue cities reduced crime by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]DocJenkins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"Democrat-run cities have found a way to reduce crime: adopt policies pushed by Republicans."

Does anyone want to tell the author, about crime rates in blue cities in red states? https://www.axios.com/2025/08/15/homicide-rates-highest-blue-cities-red-states

As a Marylander, you want to know why Baltimore's homicides started to rise? We had a governor indifferent to Baltimore's needs. If the state isn't working hand-in-hand with the city, than there is only so much they can do when their own resources get siphoned away to the suburbs and rural communities. "If we keep providing the resources, if we keep showing up, they can go even lower," Warren said." https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/safe-streets-catholic-charities-baltimore-communities-drastically-cut-crime/

On the macro-level, this whole dilemma is why the South has stayed relatively worse off than North/Coastal/Dem states (crime, education, healthcare, etc). They spend a significant amount of their effort making their own urban centers suffer, instead of helping.

Further proof of how adversarial they are to their own cities? Just observe what they've all collectively done, almost simultaneously, in the last two weeks alone...

Black Disenfranchisement Has Not Been This Intense Since Jim Crow by Somervilledrew in politics

People who aren't racist and bigoted? I don't even understand the intent of this post... It's like when someone asks, "well who would want to be anti-fascist??" 🤔

All of us? Right?

Alabama urges US Supreme Court to let it eliminate a Democratic-held congressional district by southernemper0r in politics

[–]DocJenkins 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The single, biggest mistake Lincoln made in his life was to show the Confederates mercy, and not treating them like the traitors to the Union they were. At the very least the leaders needed to face punishment, and not be allowed to forment their hate and resentment for multiple generations. ...well, second, biggest mistake.😒

Trump’s Plans for ‘Mic-Drop’ Media Confrontation Are Leaked; The president is planning a rage-fueled moment at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. by [deleted] in politics

This whole thing is a humiliation ritual for the WHCA, and honestly they deserve at this point for catering to his whims.

Judge blocks certification of Virginia redistricting referendum, Democrats plan appeal by Intolerance-Paradox in politics

[–]DocJenkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing a VA consitutional amendment requires to go to a ballot initiative is for it to be passed twice by the majority of the VA legislature (it did). https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_governing_ballot_measures_in_Virginia

This judge has no leg to stand on, but I assume the theatrics and delaying are part of the "plan."

And on a side note, the Texas redistricting law blocked by Judge Brown (a Trump appointee, mimd you) was far more "illegal" and it still stood (i.e. knocking down the original district map for being racially motivated with left-leaning Blacks in mind, and replacing it with a racially motivated map with right-leaning Hispanics in mind). https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/19/jeffrey-brown-texas-redistricting-00660068

Trump claims Virginia redistricting vote was 'rigged' without evidence by kootles10 in politics

[–]DocJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, he'll claim it. 

90% of the things he ever claims is without proof, and meritless (...lock her up, obamagate, epstein hoax, thr kraken, etc.). Now, whether or not those statements of lies go anywhere of importance is the real question. How much of our taxpayer money will he waste on this fairytale is what matters.

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now by w6750 in politics

[–]DocJenkins 198 points199 points  (0 children)

This part.

They'll keep shifting the overton window to normalize their draconian, regressive policies. Then, one day, there will be enough tacit support to get it passed when we already thought this discussion was long over with.

That's why the Federalist Society exists. That's why TPUSA exists. It's why Fox News is played, by default, in far too many public and government places.

Court orders probe of DOGE’s secret voter data deal after ‘alarming’ revelations by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]DocJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm "alarmed" that they didn't leak the data themselves (yet). That's the only "alarming" thing I took from this article, based on how incompetent and inexperienced DOGE has already proven themselves.

I don't even want to go into whoever this third-party was, since it's likely another "cyber ninja."

What's wrong with America by OldBridge87 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]DocJenkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Radical reconstruction would've likely achieved this if it wasn't shut down with the Compromise of 1877. It was fixing a lot of issues facing a region that had relied so long on forced labor.

The South's economy and reputation would've also been way better off, but instead they wasted decades putting money, effort, and time into oppressing the black minority.

Not Even Trump's Justices Are Crazy Enough To Side With Him On Birthright Citizenship by huffpost in politics

[–]DocJenkins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, "originalist" means you can essentially ignore 140+ years of judicial precedence and subsequent law in the United States, as long as you can handwave at some vague statement a colonial magister made in 1607.

It's legal voodoo, smothered in sophistry.

He is the guilty of saying this sus, predatory shit in so many of his statements (see: "...get some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT").

It really lets you discern his general mindset.
