A Bag of Milk posted:Great OP as always. To start off the new month, Alabama is closing 31 driver's licence offices throughout the state leaving 29 counties without one. You are underselling this: 8 out of 10 of the counties with the highest minority voter registration percentage are not just losing a driver's license office, they will have NO drivers license office. Those six counties you mention with highest black percentage, NO OFFICE.

zoux posted:In fastest time to 1 million donors, not total money. Hillary is smoking him in total money. And guess what matters more, number of donors or number of dollar bills. Her campaign is also much more expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders actually had more cash on hand at the moment. Clinton spend a lot of time at lavish fundraisers, any event she goes to with a large expensive entourage, just the nature of old school retail politics, while Sanders is flying commercial with minimal staff, not doing expensive events, etc.

That's it out of date. Sanders has announced its current cash on hand is 25 million, the Clinton campaign hasn't disclosed that at the moment. The real money is all in the super PACs of course so Clinton in reality has much more than that.

I wish the media would leave Biden in peace. It's obvious he wants to run but knows he would just get his heart broken and is going to stay out of it. The media keeps goading him with false hope.

We were arguing over whether Bernie might be closer to Hillary's cash on hand a few pages back, turns out yes, very close. She had close to a 90% burn rate over the summer and has $32 million on hand, Bernie has $26.5 million on hand. So actually a very small money advantage. Of course that doesn't include super PACs.

Videotaping a gun sale seems completely reasonable and not difficult considering the vast number of retail stores that already use CCTV see the register. If customers are running away from stores because of it that says more about them than the regulation.

12 countries' representatives enter with ideas that are mutually opposed, foes. They leave having reached a compromise and opening doors that were previously closed, bros. A new Pacific trading pact that gives American corporations unprecedented power and the ability to do what they want, The rest of Asia gets more competitive with China, but listen, here's the piece de resistance. No one else was in the room where it happened, the room where it happened, the room where it happened. No one really knows how the game is played, the art of the trade how the sausage gets made. We just assume that it happened. But no one else was in the room where it happened.

Putin isn't very forthcoming on his military's dances. Ask him a question it bounces off, he obviates, it glances. When We bomb the Syria at least they know we know where Iran is. See that's the problem sir they see Putin as a more extreme you, a key endorsement due to a bombing mistake just might redeem you. Who did you have in mind? Don't laugh. Who do you mean? You just had him sign a nuclear development pact. Whaaaaaaaaaaat? It might be nice, it might be nice, to have Rouhani on our side. It might be nice, it might be nice, to have Rouhani on our side. Talk less! PUTIN Bomb more! PUTIN Don't let the NATO know when troops are on their door! PUTIN Imprison him. PUTIN Help Assad, sho. It's 2015 tell your people ally with Russia! Don't like the EU their coin's going down I'm so embarrassed. As for America they always threaten, so barbaric. I like that Putin guy his interests seem just more Arabic. He's really muscular, like he could lift an ox and bear it?

The only exception are violations of the constitution (so if a districting scheme violates peoples' civil rights, the federal government can intervene). Texas discovered one weird trick. If they make you redistrict you've already had the vote, that election still counts! Draw up racist lines and they make you redistrict. If you do this every single year, guess what? You get to gerrymander every year instead of every ten years!

It's Tennessee they don't have to worry. It won't be a contest.

We elected a leader whose head is now in a basket. Would you like to take it out and ask it "Who should be the next speaker, John Boehner's head?" "Uh, do whatever you want, I'm super dead!" The right wing is leading! The right wing is rioting! Frankly, I find it a little disquieting that would let you ideology blind you to reality. Peter King! Yes sir? Draft a statement of brutality.

When they sure to declare this unconstitutional, mandatory is going to be the word they use.
