so you also deny that blacks disproportionately live in urban areas, and that saying they do, is racist.
which makes about as much sense as saying that illegal immigration puts no strain on our economy, our schools, our hospitals, etc.

No, Most Black People Don’t Live in Poverty—or Inner Cities
Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, looked at numbers from the 2010 to 2014 American Community Survey and found that 39 percent of African Americans live in the suburbs, 36 percent live in cities, 15 percent live in small metropolitan areas, and 10 percent live in rural communities. That’s a noticeable shift from 2000, when 41 percent of African Americans lived in cities, 33 percent lived in suburbs, 15 percent lived in small metro areas, and 11 percent lived in rural communities.
There was a time when even more African Americans lived in urban areas: After the Great Migration, many blacks moved north for job opportunities. They were relegated to urban cores because they weren’t allowed to live anywhere else; policies such as redlining meant that they could only buy homes in certain neighborhoods, usually the places whites no longer wanted to live. In 1990, 57 percent of blacks lived in central cities, and 95 percent of blacks in the Northeast, Midwest, and West lived in metropolitan areas, according to Census data.
That has slowly been changing. Today, the majority—52 percent— of African Americans in the nation’s top 100 metro areas live in the suburbs of those regions, according to Kneebone. In 2000, the majority— 55 percent—of African Americans in the 100 largest metro areas lived in the big cities that anchor those regions. |

They censured Adam Kinzinger on the *same day* he starts his military duty
Just to protect a corrupt, twice impeached draft-dodger Trump.
Tells you everything you need to know about today’s GOP and its values.

RNC passed censure resolution of Cheney and Kinzinger without any discussion. Overwhelming voice vote of yes, with a few nos.
The resolution wasn't read or presented. The whole affair took about a minute.
No discussion, no debate, no recorded vote. It's not a political party. It's a herd of sheep.

Pence:
“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election….The Presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American President.”

Imagine that Pence (super christian and follower of the“Billy Graham Rule " and because he told the Truth ! His own party sees him as kryptonite !
but Jim want us to believe since he " was asked to speak at the Federalist Society, who already knew that he didn’t participate in any Trump schemes. what does that tell you? anything?"
Wants us to find deeper meaning! seeing they invited him before he said what he said .. and a few walked out when he said it and the rest remained courteous..
But in true Conservative circles "no one cares what Pence has to say anymore. It is his fault or country was stolen by commie scum."
that's from the Base the RNC is kowtowing to |

what’s your evidence that the gop is turning on Pence? We know you WANT that to be the case, but that doesn’t make it true.
who was that white you posted, attributed to, exactly? i assume there’s a reason why you posted some weird quote without sourcing it?
you say that quite is from “the base”? what does that mean?

i want to know where you got that quote. you afraid to say? you just making up quotes, and claiming they came from “the base”?
“you cant accuse those protester of being ambiguous”?
protester? what protester? can anyone please translate this from gibberish to english?
Desantis and Trump aren’t close, there’s rumors they dislike each other. Yet Desantis is an absolute rock star in the gop.
that kind of blows your theory out of the water that no one in the party can survive without bowing to trump.
please source that quote. i’d like to know you you say speaks for “ the base”.

Mike Pence was surrounded by a conspiracy to end democracy in America. He didn’t call the FBI. He didn’t alert the public. He waited to see if it would succeed. When it was clear it would fail, at the last minute he threw in with the winning side.
Pence’s staff testified to the J6 committee.
From the questions they were asked, Pence could surmise the extent of their knowledge of what crimes were committed byTrump and his inner circle.

Overnight, it was revealed that DOJ subpoenaed the call records of the lawyer for Bannon and Giuliani, to get records on how Trump is trying to cover up Jan 6.

Per transcripts, Fox has not covered Mike Pence rebuking Trump at all today. None of the channel's prime time shows covered it last night either.

Sorry bad info, but I could wait 13 months to say something, like Pence.
He’s just come to the realization that Trump is going down and is looking for cover

He didn't stand up for the truth. He just couldn't get away with subverting it.
There's a lot more Pence could have said if he were serious.
John Kasich was on CNN with Erin Burnett asking where has Pence been for the last six years. "Real courage is speaking up when you have nothing to gain by doing it."

Kasich is a disgruntled reject whose intent is to besmirch those who rejected him.
The GOP should take lessons from
the democrats about how to take out their own garbage, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy.
