    (Confederate/slave state) Tom Cotton pitches fit over filibuster 'rights for the minority' that protects white Republican senators



    demanded "rights for the minority" in reference to mostly white Republican senators.

    "Isn't there something to be said for more legislating and less gridlock?" Wallace asked.

    "No, Chris," Cotton replied.

    "There's something to be said for

    compromise

    and bipartisanship and

    respect for the rights of the minority in the Senate.

    These rules have been in place since the beginning of our Republic. LIE started by accident in 1805

    https://www.rawstory.com/tom-cotton-filibuster

    Repugs want compromise, bipartisanship, respect for minority EXCLUSIVELY when Repugs are the minority.

    When Repugs are the majority,

    NO compromise,

    NO bipartisanship, and

    Repugs SCREW the Dem minority in every orifice.

    ==========================

    The History of the Filibuster

    the creation of the cloture rule was not a statement of the Senate’s love for supermajority rules,

    but rather the product of hard-nose bargaining with an obstructive minority.

    Ohio GOP lawmakers are refusing to get vaccinated:

    ‘Basically, the whole COVID thing is bogus’

    Nearly a third of Ohio Republican legislators told a newspaper they would not get the COVID-19 vaccine.

    "I don't trust the vaccine,"

    "Basically, the whole COVID thing is bogus.

    I think it's real, like the flu, but it's not a pandemic."

    Nearly 1 million people in Ohio have been infected by the coronavirus,

    which led to more than 51,800 hospitalizations and

    more than 18,000 deaths,

    "I'm not planning on getting it,".

    "I trust my body to fight off what it needs to fight off."

    he's heard too many bad things about the vaccine and doesn't think the virus is as deadly as doctors say, so he won't get the shots.

    America Is Now in the Hands of the Vaccine-Hesitant

    A subset of Americans haven’t yet made up their mind about getting a COVID-19 shot.

    Whether they turn out in the coming weeks will determine the future of the pandemic.

    "A
    poll this month from NPR, PBS NewsHour, and Marist found that

    87 percent of registered Democrats had either received a vaccine or planned to get one,

    compared with just 56 percent of registered Republicans.

    Similar spreads—of 25 to 30 points—have shown up in several other surveys too,

    and the size of the partisan gap appears to have increased by half since the fall. "

    adolescent, toxic masculinity

    GOP men think they're too macho for vaccines: 'We can pretty much do our own immunization'

    About half of Republican men say the don't plan to get vaccinated against the coronavirus,

    A recent poll sound 49 percent of self-identified Republican men don't plan on getting a COVID-19 vaccine,

    compared to 92 percent of Democratic men who said the would or had already, and

    that refusal seems to be rooted in masculine insecurity,

    Republican men, that they need to be strong,"

    "They feel like they can take care of themselves, thank you very much."

    The poll found 34 percent of Republican women did not plan to be vaccinated,

    men who view their own masculinity as central to their iden y were less likely to wear a mask,

    remember that despite all the claims, it was Georgia's republican government... the governor, secretary of state, lead elections administrator, and the GBI, who said that there was no widespread election fraud. now the governor signs into law this bill ostensibly directed to curb fraud lol.

    Racist capitalizes one race of people and not the other.

    Has nothing to do with hate. Has to do with the GOP passing new Jim Crow laws all over the country based on phony election fraud concerns.

    Georgia erroneously scrubbed 168,000 voters from the rolls for the the last election and still lost, so now they're going to let partisan officials take over the count in known "problem areas."

    The bill also will allow the State Election Board to take over county election boards that it deems need intervention. Skeptics say that will allow Republican officials to decide which ballots count in majority Democratic areas, such as Fulton County.”

    not surprising, the Republican party is largely composed of stupid people. Nothing much to expect from a party of conspiracy theorists and morons.
