Right wingers want to split California in two because they believe the democratic majority there is a tyranny.

Except they made one critical mistake.

They kept San Diego, Tahoe, and Eureka in their new state, so the new state would also have a Democrat majority.



Also did anyone note that crypto currencies lost over 200 billion dollars last night? "At the time of writing, ripple was down nearly 50 per cent on the previous day, ethereum had lost nearly 34 per cent of its value, bitcoin cash was down nearly 37 per cent and bitcoin was down 27 per cent to just under $US10,200.

The market capitalisation of more than 1300 cryptocurrencies has dropped by around 30 per cent over the past 24 hours, down from $US702 billion to $US496 billion, according to Coinmarketcap."

Good day for schad.

having grown up in humbolt they are basically southern democrats. they only vote dem because the repubs want to gently caress the enviroment. the majority of the people there are racist rednecks who want guns and hate abortion, poor, and minorities. Especially black people despite less then a 1% population. They also hate hmong despite a huge portion of their population being hmong.

Also it really should be the meth capital of california. loving methdesdo stealing our drug addiction thunder.

Robber shoots himself in the penis.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/shoot-penis-hot-dog-stand_us_59fc8f64e4b0b0c7fa39d30f

quote:

At one point, Pouncy allegedly pressed a .38 caliber pistol to the head of a 39-year-old worker who had been passing a bucket filled with grease over the counter.

The victim told his co-worker to hand over the cash from the register. When the two employees gave Pouncy their wallets and a stack of singles, the grease bucket tipped and bills went flying, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Erin Antonietti said in court, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Pouncy allegedly bent over to collect the cash and then shifted the gun in his waistband while running away from the restaurant.

At that point, he apparently pulled the trigger and fired a bullet that struck him in the penis, Antonietti told the court. The 39-year-old victim wrestled briefly with Pouncy before he staggered away from the restaurant.

Pouncy called 911 from the steps of a house across the street and reported being shot. He was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for his injuries before being arrested.

India has its own running of the bulls style event.

"At least three men in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu have been gored to death while watching a bull-taming contest known as Jallikattu.

The controversial sport, sees thousands of men chase bulls to grab prizes tied to their specially sharpened horns."

What the gently caress happened here? Does the cat just faint trying to do a pull-up?

It's hard to say for sure, but cerebellar hypoplasia is also a possible answer - my folks have a cat with it, and I've seen him try and fail a jump that height plenty of times with very similar results. Cats with the condition tend to get a little bit more stable as they get older, but never get some of the basic cat mobility skills down, save falling over and looking indignant.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJQG6V1MOVY as an example.

The cat in that gif doesn't hold his tail board-stiff, though, which a lot of CH cats do, so I might really be reaching here. NEEDS MORE EVIDENCE

South Korea's threatening to impose regulations on bitcoin. China already enacted a ban on bitcoin, but it's apparently still a work in progress on enforcing the ban.

Source your quotes, because according to CNN S. Korea has already said they wouldn't be imposing bans on any cryptocurrencies.

Would You Like To Learn More?

As far as China goes, I'm reading that they have banned cryptocurrency exchanges, but not the owning or mining of cryptocurrency. For instance, NEO. NEO is potentially going to be the first public blockchain-based cryptocurrency from China.

If you have any sources though, I'd love to read what you got, especially since I have some money in cryptocurrencies right now.

From your link (emphasis mine)

quote:

The government will continue to work to stop anonymous trading and will punish under the law wrongdoings such as market manipulation, money laundering and fraudulent transactions, or similar criminal activities.

The statement explained that the proposal made by the Justice Ministry aimed to reduce speculation on the cryptocurrency market and keep it under control. This proposal will be discussed by the working group, also called task force, and will be improved.

They may not be "banning" it, but they sure are going to gut it.
