I'd presume it's meant to be Trump's. Like Bannon, it's something he isn't using any more.

Prez, VP, House boss, Senate boss, then each of the Secretaries by chronological order of the creation of their department (so in order State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Interior, and so on). If you reach past the Secretary of Homeland Security because all these guys are ineligible for some reason or other, I think you'll get a severe crisis and no choice but to hold new elections.
And also this has to happen before anyone takes the office and appoints new Secretaries.

Is Garrison having a Darth Vader moment here?

Actually, if no-one has used Bannon as the Emperor as a joke yet, that's suprising because that seems like a really easy pop culture reference to make.

I don't think you understood my post: I wasn't trying to say "Heeb" isn't a slur (you're right it absolutely is) I'm trying to say that the Texas based grocery store chain H-E-B is not pronounced the same as "Heeb"

The original post mentioned that "Heeb" is a slur and a grocery store chain in Texas, but this is incorrect as H-E-B is said exactly the way it looks (you say "H", then "E", then "B").

Edit:


Huh, must very from place to place. In over 20 years and I've only ever heard it said the way it's spelled.

I must've lost the thread of that conversation somewhere then. Let me go see if I can find it.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has “trampled the will of the voters.” At least that’s the way Republican senator Cory Gardner of Colorado sees it.

Gardner’s state has a thriving pot industry. It’s legal under Colorado law. But, it’s illegal under the federal marijuana tax act of 1937. And Sessions says it’s his job to enforce federal law.

On the other hand weed was kind of legalized during the Obama administration. Deputy A.G. James Cole wrote a memo directing prosecutors to ignore pot stores in states that authorize them.

Senator Gardner says Sessions promised him he would submit to the Cole memo. And now Gardner says he’ll hold up “every single nomination from the Department of Justice” until Sessions sticks to his word.

A WSJ editorial says Sessions is being cast as the “uncool parent” who’s forcing a debate on the rule of law that Congress should settle.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:

Not that prison overcrowding is a good thing but to be fair there was a spike in certain crimes after the releases.

Not really:

http://www.ppic.org/publication/crime-trends-in-california/

AB109, which was the biggest anti-overcrowding measure took effect in November 2010. This actually didn't have any early releases, despite the media reporting otherwise. It just kept people from being sent to prison. This is the one that the law enforcement groups talk about the most.
The most recent Prop 36, which changed 3 strikes, was 2012. It did lead to the possibility of early release.
Prop 47 made simple drug possession a misdemeanor in 2014. While this probably lead to so early releases, due to AB109 and the older P36 (2000), this was likely a small population.
Prop 57 will lead to early releases, but hasn't really taken full effect. Most of the regulations were put in place by August 1, 2017, and none before April 1, 2017, so it isn't going to show up on stats. Particularly because it gives credits fro course competitions and the like, so people will have to work for a few years to really see huge decreases in sentences.

You wouldn't know that violence crime rate increased only modestly, but still is at amazingly low rates, and that property crime was on the decline based on most reporting. "A crime didn't happen" doesn't make for a great news story.

Please also note that an increase in "robberies" was likely a large contributor to the increase in violent crime. California has what is called an "Estes Robbery" which is shoplifting except that you push a security guard or the like. Because AB109 made theft under $950 a misdemeanor, DAs are more likely to make robbery charges on estes shoplifts. I don't know if this is the case everywhere (and it would be hard to run stats on), but we definitely saw in increase in estes robbery charges after ab109 when I was a public defender.

How about restoring the royal navy? That thing could be a force of good with like logistical support for disaster areas.
