Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
This, along with Citizens United, has been the goal of the masters of the NSGOP universe all along. Abortion was just the smokescreen they used to get the rubes to vote for them.
After they’ve lost everything they have, the rubes will blame the Democrats.
1BFSMan, too true. It makes one weep for the Republic.
2this is just ONE of the things that the dump administration wants. they aren’t done yet!
3The conservatives won. Again. No surprise since they’ve gamed everything.
This part of Tarrant county is an example of Gerrymandering.
It is tempting to look up the procedure to unregister to vote.
I’m getting close to retirement. Mrs Dokie is from an interesting tropical country.
4Manys the time I’ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but Im alright, Im alright
Im just weary to my bones
Still, you dont expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far a-way from home, so far away from home
I dont know a soul whos not been battered
I dont have a friend who feels at ease
I dont know a dream thats not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh, but its alright, its alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
Road were traveling on
I wonder whats gone wrong
I cant help it, I wonder whats gone wrong

5So what will candidates say about this decision tonight? Will they say anything? Will someone express the venality of the GOP and strike some chord of disbelief and anger in the electorate for removing us from our constitutional right to select and choose?
6it is a set-up for Roe V Wade. If the Democrats argue that this gerrymandering case should be overturned it is well and proper that the Republicans can overturn Roe V Wade
7That would in turn, be an endless argument of overturning of Citizens, AUMF, Foreign election interference, FEC fraud, FISA, privacy, emoluments clause, etc. Yes?
8All is not lost. Read Justice Kagan’s dissent for guidance on how future lower court rulings may trend. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/18-422_9ol1.pdf
9Thanks, I was feeling my FLUSTration churning up.
10Nah. Racial demographics will fire this bullet into THEIR foot, and as they lose districts, Dems will gerrymander the GOP into oblivion.
NEVER produce a weapon that your enemy can use against you.
Texas alone will turn the tide.
Check the latest demographic trends.

11When people say we’re a democracy, I correct them and point out we’re really a representative republic. Honestly right now I’m sure *what* we are….
12Mega solid #5- you should read his lyrics to Wristband
13In NC, however (one of the two cases the SCOTUS ruled on), there is a similar case in the state courts arguing that partisan gerrymandering is against the STATE constitution. It’s making it’s way to the state Supremes, who (we have fought hard to make sure) are mostly Dems. Our goal, of course, is non-partisan districting.
We shall overcome.
