Voting suppression predator #BrianKemp brazeningly STOLE the election while the country was watching by purging Black voters from the voter rolls and the media declared him the winner. Democracy my ass.
Georgia democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that there has been systematic, deliberate disenfranchisement for years in the state of Georgia and that reached its pinnacle in this year’s midterm election.
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel cautions Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker about big Democratic majorities in Springfield
Rick Pearson
Mayor Rahm Emanuel used his latest podcast episode, featuring Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker, to caution about โhubrisโ that can prevent fundamental issues from getting resolved in Springfield because of Democratic supermajorities in the state legislature.
In the โChicago Storiesโ podcast, Emanuel also sounded gleeful about Pritzkerโs vow to encourage businesses to come to the city and the state in contrast to outgoing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and complaints he bad-mouthed Illinois too much.
โThat will be a fresh start, somebody will sell Illinois. There is a beginning. Thatโs a concept we havenโt tried in a while,โ Emanuel said, not mentioning Rauner by name.
During the podcast, taped last week in City Hall, the mayor asked Pritzker if he was worried Democrats have too big a majority in the House and Senate. The party will have veto-proof margins over Republicans when a new class of lawmakers and governor take office in January.
Pritzker said โthere are never too many Democratsโ and that lawmakers and he โroughly share the same values,โ particularly involving โkitchen table issues that really matter.โ

Goldman Sachs Star Dismissed 15-Year Veteran on Maternity Leave
Sabrina Willmer
Two years ago, Tania Mirchandani, a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. vice president in Los Angeles, told her boss she was pregnant with her third child. He was skeptical she could balance a large family with her demanding job, she recalled. Thatโs โa lot of mouths to feed,โ she quoted him as saying.
Mirchandani, a 15-year Goldman Sachs veteran, figured that her supervisor, of all people, would have understood her dilemma. John Mallory, then a Goldman partner and rising star overseeing wealth management for the West Coast, had four children of his own.
In October 2016, weeks before she was scheduled to return, Mallory called her with some bad news: She was out of a job. โIโm on maternity leave, John,โโ she remembered telling him, as she fought back tears.
Mirchandani detailed her dismissal in a 2017 gender discrimination complaint against Goldman — a document only recently disclosed through a public-records request to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

It’s time to stop visiting diners in rural Iowa
I woke up this morning to these two tweets by the inestimable Nate Silver:
…………………………..
Yes, itโs instructive to suss out what drove Trump voters. But by focusing almost entirely on Bud from Kenosha, the press missed what was really happening in the country. Itโs why the press was surprised by the victories of Connor Lamb, Doug Jones, and Ralph Northam. Itโs why the press kept downplaying the 40+ seats Democrats flipped in special elections. Itโs why, despite all the polling, Democrats were still looked upon as slight underdogs for the midterms. โSurely Trump will be able to mobilize his lumpenproletariat and sweep all before him!โ
He didnโt. The Resistance not only held firm, but gave Democrats almost as many votes (60 million) as Trump received in 2016. Trump voters were the story of 2016; the Resistance has held the motive force in American politics ever since.
Perhaps it would behoove the press to now focus on the voters which gave the House to the Democrats. For all his rallies, Trump has shown himself to be a spent force. He is nothing but bluster and fraud. So are his followers. Theyโre nothing but racists and bullies, and they donโt hold the nationโs fate in their hands. They were overwhelmed two weeks ago, and donโt look as if theyโll regain the initiative.
Instead of visits to truck stops, how about visits to those feared cafes? Visits to parks in LA or New York City? Taking the pulse in formerly red suburbs in the South which this year voted like their cousins in the North? After two years of laser-like focus on rural America, perhaps now itโs time to turn attention to the real โforgotten Americaโ: the one standing against indecency and fascism.

Why Trumpโs absurd claims about a revered Navy admiral matter
11/19/18 08:30 AMโUPDATED 11/19/18 08:41 AM
By Steve Benen
Retired Adm. Bill McRaven, the former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, is perhaps best known to Americans as the Navy SEAL who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. McRaven is also recognized as a revered veteran whoโs publicly shared some concerns about Donald Trumpโs presidency.
Last year, for example, the retired four-star admiral described Trumpโs attacks on the press as possibly โthe greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime.โ Three months ago, after Trump said heโd revoke the security clearances of some of his critics, McRaven wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post urging the president to revoke his security clearance, too, explaining that he would consider it โan honorโ to stand alongside those โwho have spoken up against your presidency.โ
Trump responded at the time, โI donโt know McRaven.โ Evidently, three months later, he thinks he knows all that he needs to know about the revered admiral.
During a โFox News Sundayโ interview that aired yesterday, Chris Wallace discussed Trumpโs condemnations of the free press, and pointed to McRavenโs concerns. The president dismissed the celebrated admiral as a โHillary Clinton fanโ whose opinion should be dismissed.

Yes, that election was STOLEN.
No. We’re not your Mama’s Democrats. We’re going to tell you that it was stolen, and too bad, if people standing up for themselves upsets you.
