Yep. NE-2 was gerrymandered in 2008 after Obama won. It will almost certainly be again. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to a winner-takes-all format. They tried that after 2008, but we had a bad-ass State Senator filibuster it, and there really wasn't the political will to fight him on it. There were enough Republicans in the base who felt having some attention on Omaha was a good thing, and without the split, no candidates are going to come to Nebraska. But, that means prioritizing local concerns over national party goals. I don't see local concerns winning out this time.

Well, that's Brad thinks. I'm sure that by the end of the week the Trumpkins will have proven that he has a brother, an accountant and a heffalump working for the Chinese intelligence agency that developed smallpox.

Obscure movies from your youth
Seriously? I grew up in the 80s. The Outsiders was mainstream. I'm pretty sure every group of kids had someone who was trying to make "Pony Boy" stick as a nickname. It was directed by Coppola. I don't care how much it grossed.

I imagine there are a lot of Serbians asking “what the fuck did we do?” right now.

Seriously fucking jealous. My Chicagoland experience was three years in Joliet. Not nearly as cool.

On the Nebraska AG's site, there is a form where you can report complaints that you want his office to investigate. I asked that they arrest the Nebraska AG for theft of State property. I don't know if education can reverse the damage, but I know damn well that defunding public schools is extremely dangerous. Fuck school vouchers. Fuck state efforts reducing funding for higher education. I look at those initiatives with an entirely different lens now.

Here's the thing about Trump: if you look at any time he declared bankruptcy, he was claiming that it wasn't going to happen up until the moment that it did. He's never going to publicly concede the inevitable. But, he still signed the papers in the end.

The lawsuit is fucked up for multiple reasons. Obviously, there is the question of standing and states' right - "the law". Obviously there is the fact that the basis for the challenge lacks any compelling evidence - "the facts". But something I think what is being under-appreciated is how fucked up it is that the official state governments are using not only the tax dollars, but the authority, of the state to pursue a purely political endeavor. This is not fighting for water rights for all Texans, or even a partisan policy issue like abortion rights. This is purely an attempt to install a political ally, and using the state government to do so. It is extremely similar to what Trump got impeached for - using the government's funds and position for purely political gain. It is corruption, right out in the open.

I don't remember that one. But, it's okay to be a whore, as long as your father-in-law is your client. (Genesis 38:12 through 28)

I'd talk shit, but I assume Nebraska will join the lawsuit in the next 24 hours. But, this does allow them to actually introduce evidence at the SC level, right?

There was actually some sort of unknown there. If 2000 was a tightrope walker juggling lit torches high above the ground, 2020 has been a group of performance artists smearing feces on themselves while singing God Bless America. 2000 was "what's going to happen next?" 2020 is "what the fuck is this?"

This thread moves fast, so maybe it's already been addressed, but TwiceHorn's guess is correct. She sent sex videos to her boyfriend's ex-wife. She is a naughty girl. classy

Calling Epoch Times a far-right media network is missing a good part of the story. Epoch Times is the associated with Fulan Gong, a religious movement which has been persecuted by the Chinese government. It was started by a Fulan Gong adherent, and is basically the anti-Chicom Chinese paper. Do you remember those Iraqi dissidents who manipulated the US government into invading Iraq? Well, it's like that, only with a little bit of cultish doomsday appeal thrown in for good measure. This NBC article is interesting.

I think you are reading too much of a character arc here. Kemp could get away with disenfranchising a million voters, so he did. He can't flip Georgia to Trump, so he won't. Trump asking him to do so is like the old proverb "nothing is impossible for the person who doesn't have to do it." If Kemp could flip the state while maintaining plausible deniability, he certainly would. Edit - And his original actions had nothing to do with Trump. He did it for himself.

In case you are trying to remember who Corsi is, he was subpoenaed to testify by Mueller. The report indicated he had possessed knowledge that WikiLeaks had obtained Podesta's hacked emails. From his wiki page:

Let's Talk Regulations
So, you think the DOE should just set efficiency standards without any evaluation of whether they are achievable? They aren't limiting anyone from developing alternatives to these filtered techs, just establishing which techs are feasible/affordable as the basis for a reasonable goal. ["Additionally, it is DOE policy not to include in its analysis any proprietary technology that is a unique pathway to achieving a certain efficiency level."] If someone approaches the DOE and says they could achieve a certain watts/cycle based on using laser cannons, the DOE doesn't just want to set the standards at that level and fuck over the manufacturers, and subsequently the public, when the manufacturers fail to achieve that target. Or, let me guess, you don't think the DOE should set efficiency standards beyond what is currently on the market?
