It must be true - Ted Deutch-bag said it.

Yes, hold them accountable! Like you held Obama accountable. Like you held Hillary accountable! That kind of accountable.

Outside of the DNC, people actually have their own ideas and sometimes disagree with those they love.

You call it "gottch."

We call it the real world, and we live in it.

Sessions 'Can Go to Jail': Former Immigration Judge Says AG 'Belongs' Behind Bars for Contempt
https://www.alternet.org/judge-paul-...ns-can-go-jail

As the Trump administration has faced public outrage for its policy of holding migrant children ransom in cages to force their parents to self-deport — a policy that has now led to a full-blown humanitarian crisis — Attorney General Jeff Sessions has dutifully and enthusiastically helped enforce it. And this week, he was threatened with contempt of court by federal district judge Emmet Sullivan, after trying to deport a woman and her daughter while their lawyers were still arguing their asylum case.

One person who agrees is Paul Schmidt, a retired former immigration judge and general counsel for the now-defunct predecessor of ICE, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

"I'm stunned — absolutely stunned — as somebody that worked for the Justice Department for 35 years, been involved in the field for 45 years,” said Schmidt to MSNBC's Katy Tur on Friday, in response to the clash between Sessions and the federal courts. "I think Sessions definitely should be held in contempt and ultimately he can go to jail and that’s exactly where he belongs."

Yeah. The Southern democrats before they broke away from the democratic party and became rethugs just before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Converting the Deep South bigots to the Republican Party.

The despicable Southern Strategy of the Republican Party was implemented to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater

They were democrats when they formed the KKK and fought civil right throughout the 50s-60s. Your spin is ridiculous - are you disoriented?

Total bull shit. The KKK aligned themselves with the Dixiecrtats, the ant-civil rights rethug party

I repeat for Chimpy...

In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4]

"Although the names stayed the same, the platforms of the two parties reversed each other in the mid-20th century, due in large part to white ‘Dixiecrats’ flight out of the Democratic Party and into the Republican Party after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964," she said. "By then, the Democratic Party had become the party of ‘reform,’ supporting a variety of ‘liberal’ causes, including civil rights, women’s rights, etc. whereas this had been the banner of the Republican Party in the nineteenth century."

The point Hcap is making is that post Dixiecrat the Republicans began the strategy of adding the southern white vote. Those people that were historic southern Democrats turned to the Republican party.

The Democrats became more liberal and the Republicans moved to the right to gobble up those votes left in the vacuum.

They flipped on this issue. Republicans at one point WERE the liberal/urban party in this country.

The Democrats that founded the KKK would be voting Republican today.

I don't know if it's a point or more of a historical fact.

The fact that Democrats founded the KKK but the KKK currently openly endorses Republicans would lend credence to the historical veracity of what Hcap is describing.
