More bribing of voters.

With taxpayer money, no less.

Well, they could start off by requiring every Muslim (choice of Religion) and any people with a bloodline of any African Tribe that captured them and sold them into slavery. Let's see how that goes before they go after the rest of us. ( BTW, will the Scotts/Irish get any money out of that deal?) smile

I'm totally in favor of having the American government giving reparations to anyone who was a slave.

he's buying votes? any guess as to which group he offering balms?

block voting is becoming the norm, not the exception.

so, maybe he's onto something in 2020?

food and housing

work training and opportunities

security, including guards and hounds

I can't see this going anywhere in the Senate, but if it does, we are in deep doo-doo.

Booker would already be a footnote in history if Gov Christie didn’t have a special election in mid October 2013 to protect his race for governor. Sen Lautenberg died and Christie was scared that increased Dem turnout on Election Day would end up hurting his campaign. So to the tune of $25 million they had a special election 2 weeks before the general election. Christie was just as dirty as Booker. Booker was mayor of one of the worst cities in NJ and that’s saying something.

As a self-identifying black/native American lesbian I think this is long overdue. When do I get my check?

the fact that such a bill could be introduced into the senate hopper, is just one more indication of how far we have come in this country.

as a democratic republic, the bottom line is always votes. as long as votes continue, then politics continue.

at some point if enough votes comes along to order reparations, under the right conditions it will be ordered.

and it'll be backed by the police power of the state. and it'll be enforced with the power of the pistol.

Are you required to be a Slave today or to have been
a Slave at some point in your life? And if all the Slave
Owners are dead, how you prove your claim?

booker is running against 17? soon to be 20? or more democratic socialists.

he's a senator. he's milking the senate position to help him in his campaign.

there's no end to cheap, conniving politicians trying for a seat at the table.

afterall, it's good work if you can get it. trump will be difficult to unseat.

So the Democrats think that the crazier they get, the more people that will vote for them? Interesting strategy.
