The Republicans are trying to distract Americans from real issues in America. 

The same party that wants Vice President Kamala Harris to do a stupid photo-op at the U.S.-Mexico border. A border that is safe. They don't want to get to the roots of why migrants are leaving their homes to find sanctuary in the United States. They don't want to stop illegal drugs and firearms from entering the country through our nation's waterways and airlines. They want to scapegoat Brown people. 

They know that the more Black and Brown, the less white. The Republicans want to protect white values and white culture. They want to ban Critical Race Theory because it depicts America as a brutal imperialist country that took land and killed for the "freedoms of white man."

The same party that advocates for white supremacy and autocracy are complaining about a Rhode Island senator's country club. The Rhode Island senator is a longtime member of an all-white country club and its certainly getting some attention. However, the senator openly said that they need to change their rules.

Ask some of these Republicans if they belong to an "all-white" country club or private beach.

A country club in Rhode Island is facing heat for not including minorities.

The For The People Act and the John Lewis Voting Act are being stalled by the Republicans and two Democrats. The minority leader, Karen McConnell of Kentucky has vowed to oppose everything that President Joe Biden proposes. 

The only Black senator in the Republican minority, Sen. Karen Scott (R-SC) has also decided to embrace the white nationalist talking points and will be the main voice of opposition towards a sweeping civil rights and voting rights law. Many Republicans are trying to pass state laws that favor their side and they could overturn results of an election with their versions of voting rights laws. They are advocating for voter ID laws, proof of signature, and many other partisan roadblocks. They want to eliminate early voting, mail-in voting, same day voting and keep the status quo.

The Republicans will continue to dominate politics based on simple majorities. Even when they were in charge, they thought about replacing the filibuster. Democrats used it when it came to getting Washed Up 45's agenda blocked. So they have no room to talk.

Republicans did it to Barack Obama during his two terms and denied Merrick Garland a place on the Supreme Court. McConnell would toss out the filibuster and simple majority to confirm three of Washed Up 45's Supreme Court justices and federal judges in the lower courts. 

McConnell made a pledge. He said as long as Republicans are in charge of the senate and there's a Democratic president, there will be no Supreme Court nominees. It would be an unprecedented move that could force gridlock and dent Biden's agenda.

Now majority leader, Chuck Schumer of New York is forcing a debate vote on these two bills. The Republicans are expected to block the legislation, effectively killing it before they take off for the Independence Day/4th of July vacation.

Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) wrote in the Washington Post that her opposition to the filibuster will remain. She said that if the Senate Democrats lose the majority the Republicans can freely pass whatever the fuck they want. She also stated that she wants bipartisanship which is a fucking fantasy.

The senate is poised to sink the For The People Act.

Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) has already signalled he will not support portions of the legislations. The West Virginia senator will not side with Biden on getting rid of the filibuster.

But here we are talking about exclusive country clubs and Democrats.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is expected to vote for the passage of the law. 

This week, Whitehouse was confronted by a white nationalist asking him about the all-white club.

Whitehouse defended his family's membership in a private Rhode Island beach club that's allegedly all-white on Monday, telling the junk food media, "the club has informed me that it does in fact have diversity of membership."

Bailey's Beach Club has "a long tradition of being a family club, and they're working on improving diversity. I think that's pretty fair," Whitehouse said. 

When confronted by agitators on Friday about his continued membership at the "all-white" Newport, Rhode Island club, Whitehouse, a progressive Democrat who has spoken out against systematic racism in the country told the junk food media, "I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I'm sorry it hasn't happened yet."

Asked if such "elite all-white wealthy clubs" should still exist, Whitehouse said, "It's a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them. I think we just need to work our way through the issues, thank you."

A spokesman for Whitehouse, Richard Davidson told the junk food media, the club has no "restrictive policy."

"The club has had and has member of color," Davidson said, adding that the senator "has dedicated his entire career to promoting equity and protecting civil rights, as his record shows."

The far-right agitators are calling him a hypocrite and urging him to withdraw from the club.

The club formerly known as the Spouting Rock Beach Association, did not respond to a request for comment.

Whitehouse has been called out for it. He was running against Lincoln Chafee, the moderate Republican and was asked about this back in 2006. He transferred his shares to his wife. 

The site confronted him again after he refused to step down in 2017.

The Bailey's Beach Club which is considered on of the most exclusive in the country has a membership of roughly 500 members.
