Crowsbeak posted:Yeah the goal should be winning it back, and then once it has been won back, punishing the places that voted over 80% for brownback by cutting funds as much as possible, while rewarding the rest of the state. Thats a good revenge. You're talking about funneling money to Lawrence and Johnson County, the rest of the state fears this above all else.

Where exactly, if not Lawrence and Johnson County, do you suppose the 20% are located? That's prime location for realistic voters held hostage by Topeka.

In the movie The Campaign (I ironically worked on the theatrical campaign for The Campaign, should have left the title as Dogfight) they lampoon the Koch brothers. I was thinking last week that I wouldn't be surprised if the Koch brothers had anything to do with Brownback getting re-elected by means of voter fraud, like their stand-ins in the movie do. I almost said something to this effect but I didn't want to come off as being too tinfoil hat guy. I bet Adam McKay is doing backflips at this news, he's a prescient wizard.

Let's check in and see how my old state is doing these days...quote:But it may have been Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach who caused the most stir by labeling the American Civil Liberties Union and the League of Women Voters as "communists" for challenging the proof-of-citizenship voting law he championed in 2011. Oh. So Kansas politicians are still on the same level as yahoo commenters. Good to know. edit: also you have to use clear plastic bags instead of purses at K-State athletic events... http://ksn.com/2016/02/22/k-state-announces-new-clear-bag-policy-for-2016-17/ Which is hilarious considering you can conceal carry a loving firearm next year. kiimo fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Feb 23, 2016 |

Vitalis Jackson posted:I can absolutely vouch for this. I am from a neighboring state that is similarly Republican, but I assure you we generally look down with the greatest of consternation at Kansas. Kansans have a reputation of complete and utter stupidity. It is a largely rural state with only a couple of cities with any sizeable minority population. Many folks that live there rarely get outside of their county except for cruises and trips to the family "vacation home" (generally in a trailer park) in Texas. They tote around guns on a regular basis and profess to Christianity--although they may never set foot in a church, and they read astrological forecasts. The state is chocked full of unwed white mothers, and most of the population is receiving some form of government assistance. Oh shut the gently caress up with that nonsense.

I'm all over Bernie personally but I'll say at least Cruz is a legitimate politician. Graduated from Harvard Law and is a senator. You might not agree with his views but at least he isn't the comedy reality show option.

On the flipside it's become quite the startup tech area. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jason-grill/kansas-citys-downtown-bec_b_4192653.html fknlo posted:Dude, they loving love their subdivisions full of the same houses that are all one of 4 colors.

There has been a thread on a Chiefs forum titled "How long until somebody dies on the Veruckt?" that's been going since it opened. It got bumped. Also the national media is calling it a "neck trauma" which is one way to describe decapitation I suppose. When they first had dummies testing the thing they launched hundreds of feet in the air. So they modified it a bit, put the people on a big heavy raft and then put a net over the top. They are going to get sued like double anal sued.

Maybe it's the fact that I was in Versailles, MO two weeks ago and I'm currently on a boat in the Danube staring at the buildings in Budapest but I'm looking around trying to take what you said and make it work in my brain and I'm having a tough time giving equal reverence to both parties.
