Pillowpants posted:My final vote tally for dictator of Amesbury This is literally the most US Politics of anything in this thread. Low voter turnout, huge amounts of cynicism, positions that no one knows about... Pillowpants isn't the hero we want, but the hero we need. I hope he doesn't look down upon us and whisper "Nyet."

Update: I've spoken with 5 of the 9 city council members. 3 are supportive, 1 thinks I should reach out to the HA and then make my choice and then there's the other guy I talked about. I should also mention that there is a family in town who pull the most ridiculous cartoonishly evil stunts on opponents, and I've made them look so bad over the past six months that they both blocked me and refuse to deal with me.

As long as we don't have to recognize those European cheese-eaters & champagne-swillers claim on cheese names and wine names. I like Wisconsin Parmesean with my California Champagne, and damned be any Frenchman or Italian who says otherwise.

Pillowpants posted:So, I'd like to take all credit for my endorsement swinging the voters to get Pillowpants his victory. I seriously wonder how many politicians become lifers this way. Just run in low turn out votes, run a very tight focused campaign to known voters and keep winning and winning until suddenly you're running for Senate with 20 years as a public servant on the housing board with GOOD EXPERIENCE (though only like 2% of the population has ever voted for you EVER). I think thats how Joni Ernst got elected.

Pillowpants, I think seeing politics at the local level is entirely on topic for this thread, and a nice change of pace. What kinda childishly awful stuff does this unnamed and anonymous family allegedly do?

Accretionist posted:TPP full-text, it seems: http://www.mfat.govt.nz/Treaties-and-International-Law/01-Treaties-for-which-NZ-is-Depositary/0-Trans-Pacific-Partnership-Text.php That text doesn't appear in that document. It's also incorrect - the copyright term TPP requires is life plus 70, not 75 - as well as weirdly fear-mongering - Internet memes are already covered under copyright law. Nice to see the full text. So far most of the bullshit people cried about being in the IP section isn't there.

mcmagic posted:Are there people who think black people like Ben Carson? This is a convenient excuse to be racist against black people if they don't immediately fall behind Carson after this VERY WISE Campaign decision to commission this RAP video. It is also a way to be racist because they supported Obama, but not Carson?! Black People are racist.

You guys wanna see how other countries handle drug policy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEGJZTgb3aU Can you imagine if they did that here? It's a massive struggle to even get needle exchange programs implemented.

Just because some people need a refresher on copyright terms, apparently: The TPP requires the copyright terms of all parties to be at least the current US length (or greater, since Mexico is already at life plus 100 for some reason and they're party to it). This is already the standard across the EU as well.

I hope the incumbent drew it first and smiled knowing he had gotten a pretty decent card. Only way it could have been more entertaining would be him drawing a king first.
