ComradeCosmobot posted:1 more legislature (they have 33) and they can call for a convention to propose a balanced budget amendment. Because that's exactly what "common sense" amendment they'll call for first. Which then has to be ratified by the states*. A convention doesn't bypass the need for ratification, it only (...kinda) bypasses Congress. Congress may or may not have to authorize the convention after a request is submitted by 34 states, it hasn't come up yet.  * - Congress could hypothetically kick ratification to state conventions rather than state legislatures, which could potentially get extremely weird to the point that I have no idea what would happen. I rather suspect that neither does the GOP Congress, but we are in the Trump Timeline.

SHOAH NUFF posted:This morning I sat down at my republican co-worker's desk in DC and told him that it was stupid for us to go vote 45 minutes out in Fairfax county in the rain, what are the chances either candidate wins/loses by 1 vote? Then I said I was going to the gym at lunch, and drove down picked up my parents from Vienna and we all voted

Park interpreters are great people who just want everyone else to be as excited about things as they are. The Alamo medical dude will answer questions until everyone else in the conversation turns green and excuses themselves.

Gort posted:They don't say which place though Jokes aside I think UT's strategy starts to approach ideal - pick out the people you're definitely honoring for other very good reasons, move the other statues to a consolidated out of the way location. I HOPE UT settles on also emplacing explanations of why the monuments were garbage, but even without that it's basically an acceptable solution on most levels.

Discendo Vox posted:I don't know that there's any indication that Jones is any kind of bigot. I just have public policy positions to go off of here, but he's in favor of removing mandatory minimum sentencing, favors alternative sentencing, and directly raises racial disparities in criminal outcomes. See this is good to know.
