I'm with you Rebecca, I voted for prop 1 and am glad it's passing. Jerry Brown is indeed a wise man, he would have been a great president but I digress.. This prop was interesting in that the appeal of a tax on the rich to pay for some mental healthcare and addiction treatment for those in need is a positive for many voters. On the other hand many of those who are fine with the tax, may also be negatively influenced by the dire warnings of this just being another prison for the "police state" to lock up undesirables. Easy choice for me as I've been living in CA most of my life and it's way past time to start helping those who can't help themselves.
Jaysus, that Mississippi (goddam) cop story. How fucking stupid are police agencies that don't know that having a group calling themselves "the Goon squad" is a sign that things are very wrong and you probably need to fire everyone and start over?
Welp...we've made the big time. We're in freaking Breitbart.
High Schoolers Walk Out as Adults Push Transgenderism
The counterprotest was organized by Defense of Democracy, a nonprofit organization that claims its goal is to “educate the public about the value of inclusivity and the importance of emotional and physical safety for all individuals within the American public-school and library systems.”
Brilliant Republican congressman thwarts the Swamp's dastardly attempted deception of releasing the omnibus funding bill under cover of darkness. The Republic is saved!
Bring Chicago Home was a well-intentioned but poor way to raise funds to help the homeless. Many small businesses and small apartment buildings would have been affected by the tax increase. Apartment building owners would have passed on tax increases to renters. The funds were supposed to help the homeless, but there’s no guarantee that that’s where the funds would go.
That Mississippi Goon Squad story is fucking unbelievable. I read about it when it first happened and couldn't get past the fact that these cops thought they could get away with it. I suppose because cops have gotten away with so many crimes that it doesn't occur to them that they will ever face consequences. Also the supposedly good cops will always cover up for the bad cops so what makes them "good" cops? Also reading about it makes you think "nah, this didn't happen in this century, right?" And yet it did. Sometimes you have to wonder have we made any progress at all?
Yo, Wonkers. 11am is the start of the congressional gold medal ceremony for the ghost army of ww2. Should be on several networks going by the press setup.
Re. courtroom arrest of Michigan fake elector's lawyer in the Dominion defamation case: I cannot express how much I envy Dominion's lawyers. This is just so much fun. And 20 years from now, one of those lawyers will write a book about and sell the movie rights and will retire on that money.

Thank Jeebus Muskrat isn’t eligible to run for president. I don’t think I could stand another entitled little PAB in office.

Just regarding the article about the Mississippi "Goon Squad"...
Holy mother-forking shirtballs. Those weren't just some bad cops. I don't think even "sadists in uniform" fits; they're absolute monsters.
