Then, when he doesn't deliver, they'll fall for it when he blames the Ds in the legislature, resulting in an R supermajority. Look - Kansas can't even keep its own courts running, they've hosed their economy so bad with this lolbertarian bullshit, and they're still huffing what Brownback is spewing. Kentucky just fell for a blatant "ME OR YOUR LYIN' EYES" gag and decided their eyes were the ones lyin'. Kentucky has a long death spiral ahead of it after this, anyone who thinks voters will just spontaneously find their own assholes is either terrifically naïve or beset with a cognitive impairment preventing anything containing the word "Wisconsin" from being remembered.

Petr posted:How long will it take the Republican stranglehold on state-level politics to translate into a lock on national elections as well? When they start apportioning electoral votes by district results rather than state results. Take Pennsylvania for instance. It's basically one decent city, one "actually West Virginia but close enough" city, and a bunch of inbred fucks who talk like boomhauer and say yinz in between the cities. Population-wise the majority of voters in the state are going to be in those cities, and a huge majority of those city-dwellers are not down with the GOP. Moreso in the decent city than the 'burgh, but the stats legislature can draw electoral districts so that they concentrate as much of the civilized vote into as few districts as possible, while slathering the mumbling chickenfucker hill people vote as thinly as possible across all districts while still maintaining majorities. Now, come every 4 years, you have the people in the cities always outvoting the loving filth in the woods. If they stop counting votes and just start counting familial-amplified birth defects per acre as a metric for awarding each district's electoral vote, then you've got like 14 wasteland districts with 50.1% dogshit and 5 with decent people running up the score 80-20, and you award 14 EVs to Ricky Boucher or whoever these dumb shits warble for, and 5 to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders or whoever. As of tonight Pennsylvania is not in danger of pulling this, seeing as their SCOTUS got a good infusion of competency.

Jonked posted:As a Pittsburgh resident, I want to make it clear that this is absurdly wrong. Pittsburgh is the "actually West Virginia but close enough" reference  On the other hand, at least you have two cities. Where I am only has one, and it's full of real dedicated bastards who managed to cancel the abolition of prisoner-killing by the state legislature and push it to a ballot measure. On the upside: a surprisingly human take on immigrants within the city (countered by the garbage views of garbage people out in the garbage burbs) due to the presence of a historically-cemented latino immigrant community in the south end of the city which is a cool as hell part of town with tiled fountains and great food and wonderful people.

Riptor posted:the example that starts off the article isn't really the best - it's horrible that dude's dad died (and in such a horrible manner) but the fact that it was a rope swing seems pretty incidental to the fact that they were renting an AirBNB; are there regulations anywhere governing rope swings? If they were staying at a friends house or a hotel that had set up a rope swing, would those people need to get a permit or an inspection for such a thing? One of the twitter comments on this story said something along the lines of "regulations are calluses grown from injuries of the past." Which makes sense, something like this probably happened 100 years ago at a hotel and the result was safety inspections of recreational equipment for public use. Sure, not private use, which is where Airbnb steps in and "disrupts" that public safety regime by turning private-use (e.g. exempt from those regulations) residences into public-use hotels. This juxtaposition was part of the pushback against lyft/uber, where cab companies had a regulatory regime and extra insurance whereas individual drivers didn't. They've more or less fixed that (ongoing labor abuses are a different story) so expect more of this kind of thing to occur as more and more startups "disrupt" their way around a couple centuries worth of evolved regulatory protections.

It's really hard to maintain the position that people like this deserve to have ongoing access to affordable care. With any luck he will, but if not I'd hope to see news outlets across the state doing interviews with the people who did this to themselves, pain and all. Put their shame and remorse up for all to see as a cautionary tale.

However, anti-smoking advertising made a lot of references to how many people ended up dead from smoking, and plenty of their other TV spots pointed out how smoking fucks you up before killing you. Hell, there's plenty of examples of where campaigns on the message "DON'T BE A loving IDIOT LIKE THIS STUPID gently caress" worked for military enlistees, who nobody ever accused of being worldly intellectuals.

Or maybe it's a long loving name and just dropping "Debbie" doesn't distinguish precisely which Debbie you're speaking of. She doesn't have the name rec that Hillary does, and it isn't a simple context exercise when Debbie Stabenow is right there whereas it isn't really difficult to differentiate between the Human Rights Campaign and Hillary Rodham Clinton because nobody would say "the Hillary Rodham Clinton."

30.5 Days posted:We live in a country where whole movies are made about the power fantasy of a famous movie star beating up a journalist who was filming them in public without permission. But some college kids block a journalist's view of some private citizens and this is a serious free speech issue. We treat paparazzi like the scum of the earth. That's generally because "paparazzi," as the stereotypical celebrity tracker/photographers are known, are notoriously intrusive and intentionally try to get a rise out of people. It's one thing to be blasting flashbulbs when someone's at an event but entirely another when they're going between their car and a restaurant door. They're mouthy voyeurs, not journalists.

I wonder how one would find a peaceful resolution to the threats at Mizzou. Sure, you might be thinking "gently caress those inbred racists, meet force with force and form patrol crews to intimidate those loving cockroaches and turn those white hoods red" but you'll get a half dozen people saying you shouldn't entertain that notion because they're just scared poor rurals who take their marching orders from the Koch brothers or something. So, absent the "reconstruction" option, what would a peaceful outcome be and how would it be reached? Tell black students to shelter in place until those racist filth sober up and scurry back into their holes?
