Don't let me make this a news blog this far out from the election, or even during the election for that matter. But I had to notice that 1) Hillary released a statement a couple of weeks ago about this proof (see below) that the South still needs the 1965 check on their draconian voting laws, which unfairly repress(ed) minorities, when as soon as restrictions were rolled back they went back to old ways, 2) Trump sucked all the air out of TV, and 3) the closing of Drivers License Offices in areas with majorities of black voters, worsened as nobody listened to Hillary. Pay no advertising dollars to the man under the hair. If you already aren't, Thank you!
The Brennan Center for Justice covers voting rights news(more objective headline when you click):
Alabama Closing Even More DL Offices!
They say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I say they do worse. 4) But Yay for the budget deal that just passed. 5) Clean drinking water is also a bipartisan issue: As climate worsens and water becomes scarce, more human conflict will ensue. The Pentagon says it's the worst threat. Correction: HRC said in Rachel Maddow's Democratic MSNBC Forum that she only considers the death penalty for huge terrorist crimes, if at all; and that she'd be relieved if the Supreme Court struck it down completely.
