Senate unanimously votes to make lynching a federal crime
« on: December 20, 2018, 03:18:12 am »
That was mighty white of them to do that.  Lynchings are so prevalent these days after all.

WASHINGTON – The Senate has unanimously approved bipartisan legislation that would make lynching a federal crime.

The effort was led by two Democratic senators who are potential presidential contenders in 2020, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California.

Joining them as lead sponsors of the anti-lynching bill was the Senate's third African-American member, Republican Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Efforts to pass legislation making lynching a federal crime have failed repeatedly in the past. The sponsors of the bill say there had been nearly 200 attempts in Congress.

It's unclear whether the House will act on the anti-lynching measure this week before the Christmas holiday, and send it to President Donald Trump.

Lynching=murder.  Already Federal crime.  Can't believe this waste of time government.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Are you kidding?  This is another bi-partisan win!  The next trick is going to be to slip in the wall funding bill and the Democrats will all vote yes for it because they're on a roll.

They just tie a rope over the chrome bumper of a 70-73 Firebird and drag the sucker down the road.

Considering how badly the ass end of those rust out, that's fairly safe for the draggee. The bumper will just fall off with a light tug.

Any good Friday night party at the good ol boys place up the road has at least two 70 - 73 Firebirds.  Been wondering why every Saturday afternoon they're always out huffing Bondo and working on the ass end of those chickens.

They drive those to a party as a safety measure. After they get gooned up it's guaranteed they won't start and keeps them from drunk driving.

Just lean the carb out till it starts to ping then give it a 1/4 turn.  Then Run a manual choke and mount it under the dash next to that cool J.C. Whitney gauge pod with mechanical oil and amp gauges.

LOL. The Whitney pressure gauge is how you end up with blow by. You figure that out after you turn the car off and the gauge is still reading 60 lbs.
