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.

Pure evil..
The sort of deep-seated hate the treasonous buffoon has now actively resurrected, emboldened, fully activated, and stays cultivating and weaponizing to boost his sorry ego and cover his basic con game, and all manner of treasonous activities and other criminality …

I have a very hard time with the death penalty..
But he was soulless..
His tattoos were demonic…. one was of a black man hanging from a tree. So much hatred. He went to his death with it.

John William King didn’t think of how precious life is while he and his two buddies were dragging James Byrd behind their truck and beating, urinating and defecating on him, but now, all of a sudden, after taking a life, he doesn’t want to lose his own. I’ve never understood why some people think it’s OK to take others’ lives but don’t want to die themselves. SMH.
And they went home and went to sleep like no big deal. He’s still unrepentant.

Police officers stand by report that Beto tried to flee scene of drunken crash
This is gonna sound simple…but, if it was a crash…wouldn’t they have put fleeing from the scene of a crime in the charges against him? Which means that it would be in an actual police report somewhere….in writing.
Oh yeah, sorry, I was thinking like a Black person…cause I know they never forget a charge that they can put on us.
I don’t see how him fleeing, when the cop wasn’t professional enough to put it in the charges against him is supposed to hurt Beto all these years later. It wasn’t up to Beto to put the charges upon himself. It was up to the cop, and if he didn’t do it then…why am I supposed to care now?

Waiting Is for White People: The Privilege of Not Impeaching Trump
Michael Harriot
I smell phuckery afoot.
Why the phuck are Democrats getting asked about goddamn INCARCERATED FELONS VOTING.
Did I MISS it where All FORMER FELONS NOW HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE RESTORED?
Did I IMAGINE, that, in Florida, EVEN AFTER THE REFERENDUM PASSED – that these muthaphuckas are NOW trying to do POLL TAXES to prevent former felons from getting back their franchise?
And NOW, I’m supposed to be concerned about FOLKS LOCKED UP?
If you don’t get the ENTIRE PHUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THIS BULLSHYT.
The universal Democratic Response to this nonsense :
Until ALL former Felons have their voting rights fully restored across the 50 states…..don’t ask me about some incarcerated folks.
Co-sign. Total phuckery.
