Electoral votes are based on population, so the states that absorbed Connecticut would just get them. MA and RI haven’t voted for a GOP President since Reagan so unlikely that it would negatively affect the electoral votes for the Dems.

I’m not a lawyer but I don’t know how it could be legal - AZ tried to do this same shit with SB 1070 a few years ago and SCOTUS knocked down most of it. I don’t know how you can do indiscriminate ICE raids (like not looking for someone specific) based on anything other than racial profiling. It’s not like they’re…

From your last article:

I got this upthread but this is what she would be signing up for - everything about his offer and response screams that it would have been in bad faith. He doesn’t want to debate the ideas, he wants video of him screaming at her in order to rile up his fanbase. This is all just an elaborate attempt to “own the libz”…

Well Trump has a habit of choosing rich, white people to run agencies that have zero experience in said agency, and in many cases, are actively opposed to their agency’s mission.

Even after the google, I still have no idea who those two people are

 I thought it said old married guy at first glance and was confused

I am not at all surprised that you took this kind action.

I suspect its only a matter of weeks until we’re at this point where “Yeah, maybe I worked with the Russians to steal the election and defeat Hillary Clinton, but it was necessary because of emails! Benghazi! Uranium One!”

Reminds me of this Chappelle stand-up, starting at about 2:30...

If Trump was the CEO of America instead of President, he would have been shit-canned so long ago.

Whaat?! I hadn’t heard about this! Someone did something similar in Phoenix (my hometown) last year: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspect-aaron-saucedo-arrested-phoenix-serial-shootings-n756621

It offends me too! Why is it so long! It looks like an oversized bib more than a tie, and I can’t stand his shit-eating grin.

Also from that story:

“I am not a racist. Nobody believes families should be separated.”

Having a mail-in ballot has nothing to do with what he’s talking about in the piece though. He’s talking about the machines that actually count the votes - it’s not done by someone in a room putting ballots in piles, no matter how people fill them out. Here in California, when I go to the polling place, I fill out a…

The UK has their own shit going on, but I suspect it has a lot to do with our current predicament that American journalism is conducted in this way.

Yeah, one that suspects they will be thrown under the nearest oncoming bus should any of their illegal and corrupt shit come to light?

I can help try to track some resources down - where in Texas is she located? Does she have any family that she can stay with in the short-term? I’d recommend trying to reach out to some of these services - they’re much more knowledgeable and can connect her with resources near where she lives. I hope your friend is…

I think its the amount of time between hitting the iceberg and actually going under was less than the length of the movie, but not 100% sure.
