i say swears online posted:anyone with an opinion on prop 1? are judges just making ends meet? would they become walking conflicts-of-interest after this? It allows a muni judge to serve more than one city at a time, which is helpful for small towns that only need part time muni judges. It passed the legislature without any votes against it I’m not sure if they get more than one salary. Many counties in west Texas are served by a rotating district judge that handles several counties and it seems like a poo poo gig EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Oct 23, 2019 |

https://twitter.com/RepDennisBonnen/status/1187061123318718464 The nuts on this guy. First of all, there isn't a state lawmaker who gives a poo poo about uninvited witness testimony, much less Dennis Bonnen who would happily tell any local elected who appeared before his W&M committee to suck his balls. Second of all, these are elected officials, if the people don't like them, they can vote them out. But they don't. Thirdly HIS rear end JUST GOT RECALLED

So I guess the real question is how low a bar is it to qualify to do this?

Putting a lot of thought into a measure that's gonna pass with 70+% They don't put people in jail, the deal with class C misdemeanors and ordinance violations Like I know “Graaa fuckin Republicans up to something” but none of these are at all controversial or secret conservative programs. Even the income tax thing isn't really going to have a practical effect. They are on the ballot because of our weird constitutional requirements, this ain't California zoux fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Oct 23, 2019 |

The solution, and I know this is a hated concept in D&D, is to means test fines. Works great in Finland.

The punishment from a stationary camera doesn't disproportionately affect one group or another. The other poster's idea of means testing traffic fines is really good. Also, I think means testing is only heretic in CSPAM. Outside of that, it's a normal concept. Like the dudes who graduate law school and make $190k a year at corporate firms should have to pay their loans. Sab0921 fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Oct 24, 2019 |

I am far from wanting military adventurism, but yeah. Kurds have been arguably our strongest allies in keeping our gently caress up from spiraling out of control since 2003. To knowlingly just abandon them to ethnic cleansing is so supremely hosed up.
