We say it thats way for the benefit of the British.

Liars.

I think the worst part about this story is that you know that kid’s parents are exactly the bigots you think they are, and now the child has learned a valuable lesson that they are completely alone, unloved, and no one will help them.

It’s terrible that Florida is doing this to teachers, but it’s worse for the kids.

Their entire Bullshit is excellent, even if they oversimplify a few things.

That scraping noise is the goalposts being dragged further into the shit.

There’s no “I was joking” excuse for inciting violence. Being a politician means you are responsible for the consequences of your words. Or at least, it would if we had a functioning justice system.

Little bit of all of the above, plus it creates a mechanism for dealing with enemies. Anyone can be sent to the concentration camps in El Salvador without trial, because they’re already doing it.

All additional valid reasons not to live there.

I work remotely, so I can do my job from anywhere. Cost of living is cheap in Mississippi, and I would save considerably even factoring in the cost for private school for my kids.

I still would never move to Mississippi.

I mean, Henry Ford was also a Nazi. But he’s also been dead for some time now, and the current leadership at Ford isn’t actively engaged in a violent overthrow of the government.

They were upset about the term “rioters,” and kept calling them “visitors” and “tourists.”

It wasn’t “leaked.”

Member when nobody wanted to call the terrorists who engaged in an actual terror attack on the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transition of power on Jan 6 “terrorists” because they were worried that it was inflammatory language?

Amendment 1 would have made it easier to form “specialty courts” that have jurisdiction outside of their parish.

Amendment 2 would have lowered the maximum state tax rate and made it harder to raise taxes. It also would have moved money from the state savings to the general fund where it would be easier for the current administration to spend it. It also would have weakened property tax protections for non-profits and churches.

Amendment 3 would have made it easier to put juvenile defendants on trial as adults and send them to adult prison. Juvenile detention is expensive, while adult prisons are profitable business because slave labor and atrocious living conditions.

Amendment 4 would have made it easier to fill vacant court seats, especially on the State Supreme Court.

All four of these are horrifying power grabs that you see at the beginning of a fascist coup.

Neither of those valuations are supported by reality.

How is it possible for Democrats to be so fucking outmatched by the crew who accidentally included a liberal journalist in their war room group chat?

PA has always been a weird purple state. We have demographics across the political spectrum, and most of the elected officials on both sides of the aisle are moderates and centrists. There’s little political will to pull the conservative social bullshit you see in the South, but there also isn’t much of a progressive movement out of any of the cities. We have high concentrations of extreme wealth in the suburbs bordering extreme poverty in urban and rural communities. We have horse farms and cities. We have shale deposits, corporate headquarters, strong unions, and meth labs. We have a significant Jewish population and a significant number of hate groups and christofascists. We have immigrants and Amish. We have some of the best schools and worst schools in the country, and they play football against each other.

If there’s one rule in PA politics, it’s that business is business. Fascists and progressives don’t get far because they both impede business. Most residents are exposed to a variety of people, but there’s enough land between the haves and the have nots to prevent too much empathy from taking root. The state legislature will always be red, and the executives will tend to be blue. Even if there’s a blue wave, it won’t likely result in anything too impressive.

So you only need it under certain conditions. It’s not a requirement to vote. So most people don’t need it, because the vast majority of people don’t visit military bases, secure federal facilities, or travel via aircraft.

Voting is a fundamental right. You really want to make it so only people wealthy enough to fly places get to vote?

Not everyone needs a real ID, and you’d just be preventing poor citizens from voting.
