And back to the thread topic, rinse, have you no comment on the historical information posted here as to the filibuster and Jim Crow laws?
Or does history not fit with your world view?

OLLWT = Odious Little Left-Wing Troll
If I were going to credit that fabulous phraseology, I would credit a forum member that I have very seldom credited (in a positive way.)
I don't think that the "Filibuster" as the term is being used in current news reports is inherently racist. Arguments are being argued that the opposition to S.1 includes anti-black and anti-AnythingButWhite threads in its tapestry, and the "Filibuster" plays into the prospects for the Democrat-led effort to pass this kind of legislation in the U.S. Senate.
If I were going to characterize the "Filibuster" using a single adjective, it wouldn't be "racist." It would be Dadaist. As in "Dadaist nightmare."
Does that ring a bell?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-30-2021).]

Our southern border is being flooded and the Dems want to make sure that no one needs to show proof of citizenship to vote in the next election.
The Dems want you to disclose personal medical history before you are allowed to travel freely but our southern border is hemorrhaging Covid positive criminals.
Teachers in southern California are conducting in person classes for illegal immigrants while American children are forbidden to attend school.
Dishwashers are getting $15/hr while the Dems are planning to tax every mile you drive.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 03-30-2021).]

Perhaps a word salad on Jim Crow laws could be served with some of your salad dressing.

How about the Washington Post's "Fact Checker" column awarding President Biden "Four Pinocchios" for erroneously asserting that Georgia's new voting laws require a 5pm closing time at polling locations to make it harder for working people to vote?
"Biden falsely claims the new Georgia law ‘ends voting hours early’"
Glenn Kessler for the Washington Post "Fact Checker"; March 30, 2021.
https://www.washingtonpost....-voting-hours-early/
The Jim Crow Word Salad is temporarily off the menu. Not enough endive moving through the supply chain.
It's only tangentially related (at best) to the "Filibuster", but "Four Pinocchios" from WaPo for a Biden statement . . . does anyone here really feel like sending it back to the kitchen?

Starting to recognize the deceit, dishonesty and idiocy of the current political regime?
Or do you suppose there could be something afoot "behind the scenes', aimed.directly at the heart of the concept of America?
