FROM "MYKEVIN" TO "MYINSURRECTIONIST"?

This is what desperate servitude looks like... 

In his continuing attempt to stay in Donald Trump's good graces, "MyKevin" (R-Qanon) is now suggesting that Democrats control corporate publication decision-making surrounding Dr. Seuss books. Then, without evidence, he irresponsibly claims that "...future voters could be dead, or illegal immigrants, or maybe even registered two or three times." 

Channeling his inner apologista for Trump's role in the January 6th insurrectionist, MyKevin®️ deflects from what the rest of the world understands is reality with "...I guess Democrats just don't care as long as they get reelected."

Ignoring what happened January 6th, to float make-believe lies about Republican electoral fantasies, is doing real damage to American democracy. MyKevin®️  is fast becoming the next level "MyInsurrectionist" - he plays make believe that January 6th didn't happen by trying to suffocate the truth with an avalanche of lies. 

MyKevin®️ may not have stormed the Capitol with the insurrectionists, but he's doing his level best to make sure the rest of us forget that it happened.

This is embarrassing, even by the standards of traditional suck ups. Unfortunately, it passes for the Republican playbook today.

NOT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND...

HOME INSECURITY IN AMERICA

From the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which was created after Wall Street almost collapsed the economy in 2008, we learn that over 11 million people – nearly 10 percent of U.S. households – may be at risk of losing their homes unless immediate action is taken. More homeowners are behind on their mortgages now than at any time since 2010, which was the peak of the Great Recession.


What's worse, with the pandemic, communities of color continue to be disproportionately impacted. Indeed, Black and Hispanic families are more than twice as likely to report being behind on their housing payments than white families. Specifically,

* The number of homeowners behind on their mortgage has doubled since the beginning of the pandemic—6 percent of mortgages were delinquent as of December 2020.

* 2.1 million homeowners are more than 90 days behind on payments - which is 5 times larger than when the pandemic began - making them “seriously delinquent”. 

Nearly 10 percent of renters reported that they’re likely to be evicted in the next two months, with the rates highest among Black and Hispanic households.
