This is the reason "the mid term elections didn't turn out like you would have liked for them to turn out" Mr. President Obama Sir

The Game is rigged.  Between Voter Suppression, gerrymandering, and Citizens United ,Democrats will never "win" an election in the United States of the America.

I sure do miss the good old days when we had freedom and democracy, and  fair and free elections in America too.

 

#TamirRice: Here we go again....

Gunned down: Tamir Rice, 12, was fatally shot by police on Saturday and passed away on Sunday

 You know the drill

An African American is killed by police.

Controlling the narrative, police release their version of events and state that they had no other alternative but to use lethal force.

Eyewitnesses, recordings, and indisputable facts counter the police narrative and expose glaring inconsistencies in their story.

The character assassination of the shooting victim and his family begins.

The officers are not punished for what they did.

The family and community are left in a state of grief—fueled by a lack of closure or justice.

Listen to how police described the fatal shooting of 12 yo Tamir Rice before they knew there was video. Then watch. http://t.co/PolvS2hkoO

#MorningJoesGottaGo doubles down on White Privilege/Supremacy

Yesterdays Thugs are today's Hoards.  Poor Joe Scarborough, as a southern white male he just can't refrain from using the public airways to expose the "defense mechanism of white supremacy" that is his mind.  Yesterday, he and his all white and one female panel, smeared a dead teen. Today Joe called black elected officials, four Saint Louis Rams football players, and others, a bunch of lying liars, under the guise he's concerned about the small black business owners in Ferguson.

"If I've offended anybody, offended anybody, by saying what I've said, trust me, 95% of America thinks just like me. Just because there are cowards that won't say that on TV — that's your problem, it's not mine," he said.

Joe must not know  police protected the White side of town while allowing businesses on the Black side to be robbed and burned. At least 12 buildings were on fire. Most protesters, though, were peaceful. At two in the morning the police held a press conference. They blamed protesters for tearing apart “the fabric of the community”.  Businesses will rebuild with insurance and state and federal grants.  Can't bring back a life, but then again black life has no value compared to other things, right Joey?

Joe obviously only read the grand jury testimony that agrees with his version of the facts.  Joe wants us to believe everyone is lying about Michael Brown having his hands up except the person who killed him. If there had been an actual trial instead of a secret trail masquerading as a grand jury  and cross examination of the witnesses and the evidence we would know that one way or the other.

The Morning Joe Cast and Crew  are the perfect example of why ignorance is bliss.

 I think this, more than anything, is the source of our trouble when it comes to racial division in this country. The inability of white people to hear black reality—to not even know that there is one and that it differs from our own—makes it nearly impossible to move forward. But how can we expect black folks to trust law enforcement or to view it in the same heroic and selfless terms that so many of us apparently do? The law has been a weapon used against black bodies, not a shield intended to defend them, and for a very long time.

We Shall Overcome.......

One Day

I'm tired of white people telling Black people what to focus on. We can think for ourselves. @JoeNBC shut the hell up. #morningjoe #msnbc

JoeScarborough calling an unarmed dead teen a "Thug" was the last straw for me

Poor joe Scarboroug, as  a Southern white male he is used to black football players just playing for massa& shutting up.#handsuprams

So, University of Alabama Alum, red, republican, right wing, congress critter turned Talking TeeVee Pundit Head Joe Scarborough used the public airways to spew misinformation, and smear Michael Brown after some members of the St. Louis Rams football team dared put their hands in the air before the game on Sunday in solidarity with protesters in Ferguson,

Scarborough’s bloviating was unrelenting and exhausting. The talk show host believes the black people supporting the Ferguson based protests are using a poor example by taking up the cause of the “thug” named Mike Brown. As an aside, I think I would like that word to go the way of b*tch, f*g, and ni**er. When do you ever hear that term used against anyone except people of color?

After you watch the video read 8 Thoughts on Joe Scarborough's Ferguson Rant.

 1) There is nothing more insufferable than a pompous white guy telling black people how to act. This should be so damn obvious. Even Joe himself points out the unfairness to black people on the streets and in the courts of this nation. The system is rigged and only a white fool doesn’t know that. The difference is, black people live it. Considering that, imagine having a rich white guy going on television and letting you know what you have the right to be outraged over? A man who can hail a cab with ease, can shop in a retail establishment without being watched, and has many fewer worries about getting shot just because of an accident of birth. At least moderate your damn tone.

Psst! "Dear #ElizabethLauten, I get you’re in that awful Republican party, but you’re a part of America, try showing a little class".

Nothing classy about Elizabeth Lauten's criticism of the Obama girls.

"Dear Sasha and Malia, I get you're both in those awful teen years, but you're part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. Then again your mother and father don't respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I'm guessing you're coming up a little short in the "good role model" department. Nevertheless, stretch yourself. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don't make faces during televised, public events."

Oh really?  Let's Flip the Script.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When first lady Laura Bush counseled her twin daughters on how to behave while campaigning with their father, she may have skipped the part about not sticking your tongue out at the media.

Can you say double standard? 

The former first lady recalled receiving a letter from someone she knows saying she should tell Jenna Bush how outrageous it was for her to have stuck out her tongue at photographers while traveling with her father on a campaign trip, an act caught on film.
"I wrote the girl back and I said, if you'll pardon me, 98 percent of Americans would like to stick their tongue out at the press," Barbara Bush told ABC, adding that the gesture took place while the press corps was kidding around. "It was so nothing, and it was funny."

Yep, not showing a little class at public televised events  is ok if you are a republican.

Doe-eyed Bristol Palin, 17, and ruggedly handsome Levi Johnston, an 18-year-old self-described "f---in' redneck," have been dating a year, locals in Wasilla, Alaska, told the Daily News.And the pregnancy? An open secret in the close-knit town of 9,780.

 Psst! It must be hard to be a republican and an American.
