The NY voter issue (the Brooklyn one that people blew up about on my facebook, anyway) removed voter registrations in an area that favored Clinton more than NY as a whole, so it's very hard to believe it was somehow pro-Clinton. Not that it wasn't an issue.

The reddit SandersForPresident crowd claim literally everything is fraud up to and including "Bernie was leading with 30% reporting, now Clinton is leading with 80% reporting, fraud" and "nothing looks remotely suspicious about these results but I don't trust Hitlary so it must be fraud" but I would assume that reddit SandersForPresident is 75% Ron Paul supporters so :shrug:

The County Recorder for Maricopa County in Arizona is named Helen Purcell. She's unmarried, that's her maiden name.

When Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, his Lieutenant Governor was a man named Joe Purcell.

Joe married a woman named Helen and I guess they retired in Arizona.

Clearly, this is strong evidence showing that Hillary is the true mastermind behind voter suppression in Arizona.

I wish I was making this up.

This is what I remember reading also. That the voters removed tended to be either (a) dead, or (b) minorities that would have skewed towards Clinton anyway. I wasn't sure if there was something I was missing -- I'm trying to follow this election cycle from Japan, so I miss some of the finer details.

Yeah, I mean he's saying that the bar for winning these people over is literally just being able to pronounce the word "America" correctly, and as you said, he's not wrong.

(edit: I guess he'd point to Romney's misspelling of the word in the campaign web app as proof positive of this.)

Here's the text of SRes 444, passed today by unanimous consent:

quote:

Whereas Prince Rogers Nelson (referred to in this preamble as “Prince”) was born on June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis, Minnesota;
Whereas Prince developed an interest in music at an early age and wrote his first song at the age of 7 years;

Whereas Prince pioneered the Minneapolis sound, which is a mixture of funk, rock, and pop that emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s and influenced music for decades;

Whereas Prince and his band, the Revolution, shot many scenes of the classic film “Purple Rain” at First Avenue, making the downtown Minneapolis music venue a landmark;

Whereas Prince was a superstar composer, an amazing performer, and a music innovator with a fierce belief in the independence of his art;

Whereas Prince—

(1) sold more than 100,000,000 records worldwide;

(2) released 39 studio albums;

(3) had 5 number 1 Billboard hits; and

(4) had 40 singles in the top 100 songs;

Whereas Prince won 7 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award;

Whereas Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year in which Prince was eligible for induction;

Whereas in 2010, Prince accepted a Black Entertainment Television Lifetime Achievement Award;

Whereas Prince wrote songs about Minnesota sports teams, including “Purple and Gold” during the Minnesota Viking’s run to the 2010 National Football Conference championship game, and held a concert for the Minnesota Lynx after the Minnesota Lynx won their third Women’s National Basketball Association championship;

Whereas even after all of his success, Prince still called the State of Minnesota home and never lost the sense that he was a beloved son, a neighbor, and the superstar next door;

Whereas Prince reminded the people of the United States that “there’s a world waiting for us after this life, a world of never ending happiness, where you can always see the sun, day or night”; and

Whereas on April 21, 2016, Prince passed away at his Paisley Park Estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota, leaving behind millions of fans and a legacy of music that touched hearts, opened minds, and made the people of the United States want to dance: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Senate honors the life of Prince Rogers Nelson and his achievements as a musician, composer, innovator, and cultural icon.

PHOENIX — A Phoenix woman has been dropped as a political fundraiser for U.S. Sen. John McCain's re-election campaign after being arrested on suspicion of drug possession and other charges.

Maricopa County Sheriff's officials said Emily Pitha and her live-in boyfriend were taken into custody Tuesday after deputies served a search warrant at her north-central Phoenix home.

Christopher Hustrulid allegedly signed for a package containing more than 250 grams of Ecstasy.

Undercover detectives and U.S. Postal Inspectors raided the home after the delivery, according to sheriff's officials. Detectives also reported finding methamphetamines, LSD, heroin, cocaine, an active meth lab and about $7,000 and counterfeit cash.

"Unsoundness of mind" is a legal term that essentially means insanity or lunacy.

This is one of those things where it's unlikely that leaving out unconscious/intoxicated people was intentional but the judge followed the law and now hopefully the law will be quickly changed.
