While the FBI and Mueller news are filling the headlines, Obama & Holder are working behind the scenes to get Democratic control by redirecting maps.

You just realized that Republican gerrymandering has been under scrutiny? There have been court cases and everything.

No kidding.

I'm surprised you haven't read about it in Breitbart.

Want some more bad news?

There's another census coming up in 2020.

End all gerrymandering.
IL, MD, OH, WI, MI, NC, TX...
The GOP whined when they lost their gerrymander of PA. The funny part is it is still roughly a 10-8 map in their favor.

Eric Holder should be doing time for his crime of contempt of congress, yet he wasn't taken down like Nixon.

" The House has voted to hold Attorney General
Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his failure to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal, the first time Congress has taken such a dramatic move against a sitting Cabinet official.
The vote was 255-67, with 17 Democrats voting in support of a criminal contempt resolution, which authorizes Republicans leaders to seek criminal charges against Holder. This Democratic support came despite a round of behind-the-scenes lobbying by senior White House and Justice officials - as well as pressure from party leaders - to support Holder."

Well, this nefarious scheme to re-district certain legislative districts can only be accomplished if the Democrats win control of the state legislatures in those states targeted.


Here is something to mull on: if Mr. Holder and Mr. Obama were completely out of the picture, living in France or wherever, and the Democrats took control of these various state legislatures in time for the 2020 census, do you think said Democrats would not have thought of perhaps changing up the districts to suit their own ends?


Of course they would. It is done all the time. One may disagree with gerrymandering, but it is a fact of political life.

In a just world Obama and Holder would be working on redistricting from a federal prison.
