Funny, how they have time for this, but dragging their knuckles...I mean feet over dump's tax returns.

Yes, I know, time is of the essence, but wasn't it during impeachment? 🤬

because they were short handed! If we don't get it tomorrow, he can't vote. He's voted in every election for 17 years and can prove it.

Milwaukee is going to be ground zero for disenfranchisement. Block all of those nasty Democrats from voting. Fuckers!

We were criticized for having it. I remember some criticized Ohio for not having it. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t I guess.

This is one of the most callous disregards for democracy I have seen in a long time, and that is saying something given how fucking deplorable Republicans are.

Wisconsin with their conservative buddies on the U.S. Supreme Court are literally trying to get away with stealing a ten-year state supreme court seat and it's like no one is even talking about this?!

Billions Of $ at theirs and BD's disposal will be spent to make that happen.

And NOW WI is the legal precedent.

Looks like SCOTUS is headed toward ruling this democracy out of existence if SCOTUS takes this ruling as a legitimate precedent in a time of pandemic.

12. They Have To Depend On Stuff Like This

They can only hope to win by Gerrymandering, making it tough to vote in Democratic leaning Precincts, and by “Citizens United” allowing the likes of the Koch’s to spend Billions.

They are comfortably the minority party. They depend on the above and by desolate States like Wyoming having 2 Senators just like California and New York.....which have Cities with more people than some of these States.

On a level playing field they have no shot so they had to rig the game.
