Today’s feature: MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN
This great piece deserves the spotlight.

Mississippi’s image has always been dominated by the conservative white evangelical set, the political and social segment of the state that has, over the past 200 years, earned Mississippi a reputation as perhaps the most racist state in America.
Whose #Mississippi? The black writers in the current U.S. literary pantheon, that’s who. Excellent, @NeelyTucker @BitterSouth @Wralpheubanks @angiecthomas @NTrethewey @KieseLaymon https://t.co/CfZgb2U0fB

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Manic McCain!’ That’s what The View producers have branded co-host Meghan McCain after she melts down again calling the executive producer a ‘motherf***er’ in front of a studio audience
Meghan McCain had another blow up when cameras weren’t rolling on the set of The View Tuesday, a source tells DailyMailTV
The View co-host lost her cool after mistaking a law professor for a Justice Department lawyer during the live show
During the commercial break McCain blew up at executive producer Brian Teta for not being briefed, calling him a ‘motherf***er’ in front of the audience
‘This is some bullsh*t! What are you producers good for?’ she said
Human Resources came in to meet with McCain following Tuesday’s live broadcast because she disrespected an executive
But sources say her job is safe as top ABC News executive James Goldston is ‘Meghan’s biggest fan’
‘At this point, Meghan is starring in the talk show version of How To Get Away With Murder,’ explained the source
Tuesday’s profanity-laced blow-up follows McCain’s on-air outburst last week when she called her rival co-host Joy Behar a bi**h on live TV

Because, what everyone wants for someone in the military, who not only has their own life on the line, but the lives of their fellow troop members…is for those members to be distracted because of worry about their family members possibly being deported. This isn’t just evil. It’s also a threat to the strength of our military, and thus, our national security. But, the racists must be able to get rid of the non-White hordes……national security be damned.
Trump says he asked lawyers if census could be delayed after Supreme Court decision on citizenship question
Nicholas Wu and Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
Published 1:57 p.m. ET June 27, 2019 | Updated 2:04 p.m. ET June 27, 2019
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on Thursday afternoon that he would attempt to delay the 2020 census following a Supreme Court decision that would send his administration’s request to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census back to a lower court, giving opponents another chance to block it.
“Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census,” Trump said in a tweet. “I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter,” Trump tweeted.
The 5-4 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts questioned the administration’s rationale for adding the question, calling the reason “contrived.”

Rikyrah, did you watch Queen Sugar last night?
I have it on the DVR. I am very disappointed in Nova this season. Only saw David Alan Grier for a few seconds from last week – you can tell that he’s nothing but walking trouble. No good will come from that man.
No spoilers then. Nova’s got a whole lot of “SPLAININ” to do.
Season #4 of Queen Sugar’s going to be a winner!

Well, one thing this photo illustrates is that a men’s business suit is very forgiving of an overweight body. Paul looks like a different guy without his suit.
I also noticed the difference in his hair. I guess all he gets behind bars is a cut every now and then. No dye jobs. It looks like prison food has been good for him. That waistline is huge. LOL.

Yes, because we know how those “State’s rights” thingy goes.

@PoliticsWolf Irony: four of the five justices who voted to uphold gerrymandering were appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote. Minority rule is at the heart of gerrymandering.

Beto got lost in the competition.
Beto did himself in. He fizzled out after the Texas senate and wouldn’t challenge the elections results when voting machines were switching votes from Beto to Cruz. Folks begged him and he remained silent. This is the big league. You have to do your homework and he didn’t.
Yeah, I remember that he didn’t challenge the election results. He stood out in Texas running against Ted Cruz and got national attention. But he hasn’t really been able to distinguish himself in the group of 20 candidates. He’s really fallen off the radar, MSM doesn’t seem to be interested in him.

AGREE. I can read candidates’ policies on their websites. Better yet, most candidates talk a good talk, until they get elected, and then REALITY CHECK!!!
We need a candidate that can VERBALLY whip the living daylights out 45.
45 is a straight up LIAR & CON MAN. Call him on his lying with facts. doesn’t matter. bring facts and call out the LIES.
45 can’t string 2 coherent sentences together.
45 is a Narcissist – and for anyone who deals with him take a master class on how to deal with this piece-o-shit. LOOK HIM IN THE EYE, AND LAUGH AT HIM AT EVERY TURN.
45 is for the most part ILLITERATE. He’s not well-read. Use big words on him-roll over him with intelligence
45 uses aggressive bullying and rambling gibberish, as attempts to intimidate.
45’s a pansy and will fold, sulk, attempt to bully, wash, rinse repeat.
