You may be a bit confused by the size of the word disproportionately which was the word Jim used. Disproportionately is an adverb, not an adjective.
Perhaps Jim simply meant that the proportion of the black population that lives in urban areas is larger than the proportion that lives in rural areas? |

here’s what i meant. blacks make up a higher percentage of urban areas, then they make up the general population.
blacks are about 12% of the us population, but 17% of the population or urban areas
over their heads. not over yours.
facts are racist now.

if he keeps his status in the party, will you admit you were wrong?
he was asked to speak at the Federalist Society, who already knew that he didn’t participate in any Trump schemes. what does that tell you? anything?

They censured Adam Kinzinger on the *same day* he starts his military duty
Just to protect a corrupt, twice impeached draft-dodger Trump.
Tells you everything you need to know about today’s GOP and its values.

Mike Pence wouldn't have spoken out against Trump today unless he knows FOR CERTAIN Trump's in a world of trouble.

RNC passed censure resolution of Cheney and Kinzinger without any discussion. Overwhelming voice vote of yes, with a few nos.
The resolution wasn't read or presented. The whole affair took about a minute.
No discussion, no debate, no recorded vote. It's not a political party. It's a herd of sheep.

Pence:
“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election….The Presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American President.”

Imagine that Pence (super christian and follower of the“Billy Graham Rule " and because he told the Truth ! His own party sees him as kryptonite !
but Jim want us to believe since he " was asked to speak at the Federalist Society, who already knew that he didn’t participate in any Trump schemes. what does that tell you? anything?"
Wants us to find deeper meaning! seeing they invited him before he said what he said .. and a few walked out when he said it and the rest remained courteous..
But in true Conservative circles "no one cares what Pence has to say anymore. It is his fault or country was stolen by commie scum."
that's from the Base the RNC is kowtowing to |

what’s your evidence that the gop is turning on Pence? We know you WANT that to be the case, but that doesn’t make it true.
who was that white you posted, attributed to, exactly? i assume there’s a reason why you posted some weird quote without sourcing it?
you say that quite is from “the base”? what does that mean?

Mike Pence was surrounded by a conspiracy to end democracy in America. He didn’t call the FBI. He didn’t alert the public. He waited to see if it would succeed. When it was clear it would fail, at the last minute he threw in with the winning side.
Pence’s staff testified to the J6 committee.
From the questions they were asked, Pence could surmise the extent of their knowledge of what crimes were committed byTrump and his inner circle.

You're surmising, conjecturing, opining, that there had not been any discussion about the censure previously, that none of them knew what it was about, and they all just decided on the spur of the moment to OK let's censure these guys for the heck of it because Ronna McDaniel says to do it.
I heard the voice vote. It was overwhelmingly yes. There was an underwhelming barely audible teeny no. It was political democracy as usual. That's how democracy works. That's why we were founded as a Republic, not as a democracy. |

Overnight, it was revealed that DOJ subpoenaed the call records of the lawyer for Bannon and Giuliani, to get records on how Trump is trying to cover up Jan 6.

i want to know where you got that quote. you afraid to say? you just making up quotes, and claiming they came from “the base”?
“you cant accuse those protester of being ambiguous”?
protester? what protester? can anyone please translate this from gibberish to english?
Desantis and Trump aren’t close, there’s rumors they dislike each other. Yet Desantis is an absolute rock star in the gop.
that kind of blows your theory out of the water that no one in the party can survive without bowing to trump.
please source that quote. i’d like to know you you say speaks for “ the base”.

Per transcripts, Fox has not covered Mike Pence rebuking Trump at all today. None of the channel's prime time shows covered it last night either.
