I watch CNN, MSNBC and the other communist news outlets. For the past few days, they've all had panels discussing Trump's visit to the Jackson, MS, civil rights museum and the protests against his visit.

There's one critical reason for boycotting that is missing: VOTING RIGHTS.

Many of the memorials in the museum are dedicated to people who were murdered -- lynched -- trying to secure voting rights for African-Americans -- indeed, for all minorities. Yet, Trump has empaneled his Voting Commission under Kris Kolbach and Hans von Spakovsky, the sole purpose of which is to roll back voting rights, especially for minorities. His attack on voting rights alone is enough reason to keep him away from the Civil Rights Museum.

I don't know how to get this point to the attention of CNN, MSNBC and other commentators -- I'm not on Twitter or Facebook -- but it's a point that needs to be hammered home.

Gee, I wonder why.

alternative universe/reality. And, the idiot during his campaigning said he would heal the divisions in the world, something like that. Yeah, sure is.

...over a pic in the NY Times that showed Barack and Michelle Obama walking across the Edmond Pettus bridge on the 50th anniv. of the 1965 march - and left out of the photo, up until January 2017, the "Worst President EVAR!"? Who was actually there on that bridge...?

You know. These guys: http://dailycaller.com/2015/03/08/ny-times-crops-bush-out-of-selma-picture-highlights-ferguson/

And this guy, noted arborist, Sean Spicer: http://therightscoop.com/the-new-york-times-crops-out-george-w-bush-from-their-selma-front-page-picture/

Got it? The "libural" NY Times cropped out George and Laura Bush, and that set the Reich-wing's hair on fire.

Shocking, I know, but they hadn't. NY Times: “There was no crop. This was the photo as we received it.”

So what happened? NY Times photographer Doug Mills said HE cropped it before he sent it to the Times. Sunlight was to blame:

“...Bush was in the bright sunlight. I did not even send this frame because it’s very wide and super busy and Bush is super-overexposed because he was in the sun, and Obama and the others are in the shade."

And here we are, two years and 9-months later.... I wonder what the Reich-wing Noise and Rage Machine is going to say about John Lewis skipping out?

He could have used his time at the podium to rip tRump a new one. Explain how taking a knee at football games is not being done to disrespect the flag but rather to protest police shootings of unarmed black men. To rake him over the coals for voter suppression laws and gerrymandering minorities into irrelevance. I keep hoping someone at a press briefing will stand up and say to Sarah Huckabee Sanders “stop lying you f***ing liar”! I would have loved to see Rep. Lewis do the same to tRump (a great deal more eloquently then I ever could, obviously).

We are way past the time for being polite with these assholes. It’s time to start calling them out at every opportunity. I think John Lewis may have missed a chance to do just that.

I believe in always speaking and disseminating the Truth when possible.

We have so few routes to having our voices be heard, we need to be savvy and take advantage of these occasions, esp when national media are involved.

and the morons didn't even know it!!
LOL!!
I take my laughs where I can because so much of what he is doing scares the hell out of me.
