Reztes posted:Yeah, all I get from that article is a lot of "I want things to be like I thought they were like when I was a child and didn't know any better." Like, aren't all the idiots in that article calling out the years when they were children? Joy McCoy, 31, says the Reagan administration is when America was "great"; Trivett, 70, says it was "before Vietnam"; Martin,59, says it was the 1970s. There was a segment to that effect on The Daily Show. John Oliver, if I'm not mistaken, tries to find out when that great time that all those Fox News pundits were talking about actually was, when they say "when I was a kid". He brings in people who lived through all possible eras, and they tell them all those times were terrible. The one constant is that those pundits were children and were protected from the ills of the world.

Rollofthedice posted:If we end up with a democratic governor for Kentucky AND Louisiana, that would be pretty interesting. How is the Legislative/Executive balance over there? Does the Governor get to set the starting point of the budget bill, with limited Legislative amendment possibilities, like in New York, or is it closer to how it's done on the national level?

Swiller of Beer posted:The Dems at least control the Kentucky house of representatives until the idiots of my state go all in on stupidity next year. Senate's R, though. Again, how strong is the Governor in Kentucky? Because here in New York, a split legislature (hell, even a fully hostile legislature, I think) could and is often streamrolled by a Governor with any attitude.

JT Jag posted:Reminder that governor terms lasting four years means that states who elect their governors in non-presidential years do so perpetually, causing their results to distinctly skew in the direction of the party not in control of the White House. Or, you know, maybe the Democrats can get their GotV act together for off years.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:There's zero reason to have off-year elections outside of helping Republican candidates. I'm not a supporter of off-year elections; heck, I think there's way too many elected positions in the US, it's needlessly confusing and makes it harder for people to take the process seriously. But just wishing it away won't help, and I'm guessing if it was possible to remove them, Democrats would already do it. On the other hand, rolling on an always-active voter engagement policy may have beneficial long-term benefits anyway.

I was seriously going to go off on a rant for all these reaction posts until my mind snapped back into reality that this is a comedy forum, and this is our lovely way of coping. To be fair, this ironic reaction to every child death by cops is starting to get tiresome and repetitive. On the other hand, so is the repeated child death by cops.

Luigi Thirty posted:So they're trying to figure out whether or not they should charge like an entire high school with CP charges after finding that everyone was trading naked photos of each other at a high school. It was centered on the football team, as usual. They even had point values assigned to photos and bragged about their collections, stored in phone apps that hide photos. Someone found out about it via an anonymous tip. Some people were just sending girls unsolicited dick pics and asking for pics of themselves in response. It's so big that they don't know what to do about it. For shame. I thought the US had the school-to-prison pipeline sorted already. They could just turn the whole school into a juvenile prison. If it's anything like the way they run usual urban schools these days, who could tell the difference?
