The bible version of Jesus and the religious version are to different species. That is why I reject religion and I know that the bible is a plagiarized work of fiction. I did my homework: 50 years of it. Know your enemy.

Atheists be funny when they say how religious people should be.

(Homophones be bastards: to, too, two)

As a result, in 1865-66, most Southern state legislatures enacted restrictive laws known as Black codes, which strictly governed Black citizens’ behaviors and denied them suffrage and other rights.

Radical Republicans in Congress were outraged, arguing that the Black codes went a long way toward reestablishing slavery in all but name. Early in 1866, Congress passed the Civil Rights Bill, which aimed to build on the 13th Amendment and give Black Americans the rights of citizens. When Johnson vetoed the bill, on the basis of opposing federal action on behalf of formerly enslaved people, Congress overrode his veto, marking the first time in the nation’s history that major legislation became law over a presidential veto.

The 14th & 15th Amendments
With passage of a new Reconstruction Act (again over Johnson’s veto) in March 1867, the era of Radical, or Congressional, Reconstruction, began. Over the next decade, Black Americans voted in huge numbers across the South, electing a total of 22 Black men to serve in the U.S. Congress (two in the Senate) and helping to elect Johnson’s Republican successor, Ulysses S. Grant, in 1868.

The 14th Amendment, approved by Congress in 1866 and ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including former slaves, and guaranteed “equal protection of the laws” to all citizens. In 1870, Congress passed the last of the three so-called Reconstruction Amendments, the 15th Amendment, which stated that voting rights could not be “denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

In 1869, the National Woman Suffrage Association, led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was formed to push for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Another organization, the American Woman Suffrage Association, led by Lucy Stone, was organized in the same year to work through the state legislatures. In 1890, these two societies were united as the National American Woman Suffrage Association. That year, Wyoming became the first state to grant women the right to vote.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the role of women in American society was changing drastically; women were working more, receiving a better education, bearing fewer children, and several states had authorized female suffrage. In 1913, the National Woman’s party organized the voting power of these enfranchised women to elect congressional representatives who supported woman suffrage, and by 1916 both the Democratic and Republican parties openly endorsed female enfranchisement. In 1919, the 19th Amendment, which stated that “the rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex,” passed both houses of Congress and was sent to the states for ratification. Eight days later, the 19th Amendment took effect.

Christian Group Calls To Remove Dinosaur From Tucson McDonald's

A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs has called for the removal of a dinosaur statue at a Tucson McDonald's franchise.

TUCSON, AZ — A Tucson landmark won't be going extinct anytime soon. Attempts to remove a fiberglass dinosaur statue outside of a McDonald's have been thwarted.

A group called Christians Against Dinosaurs denounced the T. rex statue on its Facebook page and called for its followers to rally in an effort to remove the statue.
"Please help! This McDonald's has this dinosaur and refuse to remove it!" according to the Arizona Daily Star. "This is in Tucson, Arizona. Call the manager and demand the removal of this blasphemy!"

The post has since been deleted, but it also included the contact information for the McDonald's franchisee, Dias Management Inc. The organization owns many McDonald's locations in the Tucson area.
The dinosaur has resided outside of the fast-food restaurant since it opened on Grant Road and Tanque Verde Road in 1994.

According to its Facebook page and website, Christians Against Dinosaurs seeks to reveal the truth about the "dinosaur lie," claiming that the creatures never existed. It says dinosaurs are a scam invented by scientists to thwart religion. Over 23,000 people have liked the page on Facebook.
A spokesperson for Dias Management said the dinosaur isn't going anywhere anytime soon, calling it a Tucson landmark.

Dumping Trump would actually make it easier for the senate (if GOP) to advance their hideous agenda.

Trump, being comically inept, achieves next to nothing and basically makes sure that the GOP senate is busy dealing with his ridiculous bullshit rather than the serious business of disenfranchising Americans of color.
