    Voter Suppression

    And the CA GOP has refused to comply with a cease and desist order from the state: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/14/politics/california-republicans-ballot-drop-boxes-cease-and-desist/index.html LAW AND ORDER!

    We need to do that as well, agreed. But having more reps and thus more districts lessens, if ever so slightly, the effectiveness of gerrymandering.

    Sure Donnie. They're worried about Joe.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    27-25 replied to taybo20's topic in Football

    Agreed. Best example I can recall was women's basketball, though I don't recall the specifics. When Jodie was coaching Texas was getting hammered by the refs. Everything seemed to be called against us. Nothing the other team did seemed to matter. It was nuts. Jodie storms onto the court tearing the refs a new one, getting a technical and just unloading on them. The lopsided calls just stopped. All of a sudden. Like magic. There are time when a coach needs to go there.

    Interesting timing.

    Someone with good Photoshop skills needs to take a picture of the Notorious RBG and apply the Mack Brown Curse filter for use at this time.

    Not sure about the shame part.

    Finally, a Republican platform!

    Would that also mean no Pence-Harris debate? I wanna see that one!

    I don't like "reality" TV much. Now I hate it even more. It gave us all DOTUS. Maybe when people claimed TV would ruin America this is what they meant. We were warned. We didn't listen.

    Though it went away, the first income tax was levied in 1861 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1861).

    And that's assuming one getting the Coronavirus provides one with immunity ever after. The jury is still out on that one.

    Was that an example of "lying, ignorance or insanity"? Well done!

    I am not anti-vaxx at all. I've already had my flu shot this year and have gotten every vaccination recommended for people throughout my life. I would not line up to be the first person to try out a brand new vaccine though. Thankfully, there are many others who are willing to be the guinea pig. There are risks with a hasty vaccine rollout as evidenced by the cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome in the 1970's due to the swine flu vaccine developed then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_swine_flu_outbreak A coronavirus vaccine (should it be released even sometime in 2021) will be amongst the most quickly developed vaccines in history. I hope it works. I'll get it, hopefully after we get some certainty about side effects.

    I think even Trump knows that failure to comply with expectations has its consequences.

    Which one is it? I haven't kept up with the super duper new military weapons we've been developing. Hydrosonic? Is it Aquaman's plane? Or Hydrasonic? Does it soften skin as it destroys one's enemies?

    Deep RedState?

    If we can do the same for Oklahoma I may have to completely rethink my stance on this matter.

    I get your point and understand there are downsides. But do lifetime appointment SC judges get washed out in the next blue/red wave? They don't. If every President were guaranteed let's say 2 appointments to the bench with the oldest serving members being retired then at least we can maintain some sense that the makeup of the court matches, to some extend, the current will of the people (in an indirect way). Can the same be said now, even remotely? I don't think so. Right now it's a crap shoot (fuck you cancer!) but the GOP has figured out how to game the system better by nominating and getting seated much younger SC judges who will be in place for decades. If the only Dem response is to do the same then we have a race to the bottom to nominate the least qualified, ideologically pure candidates who a given side (Dem or GOP) thinks will toe the line for a few decades to come. I'm not sure how that makes for a better outcome for the country.

    This. The GOP has caught on to a very important point about lifetime appointments. Get on the bench young and you've effectively packed the court for a couple of generations. But it also means you risk elevating someone with less than complete life experiences. Term limits for the SC should be something looked at.
