“Look at the dear little people struggling to rise above their savagery”.

Yeah, I’m really not seeing how this idea could ever get off the ground. Congress is already quite lazy. California doesn’t get to decide that it’s now 3 states and magically add 4 senators to Congress. What in the damn hell is this “plan?”

Georgia is similar. We had a ballot item in 2016 that talked about “community involvement” in building schools or some such - but the actual referendum would have been to allow the governor’s office to create “community boards” to build charter schools in districts that didn’t want them, over the objections of the…

I’m not one of those people that think that most people are idiots, but I do recognize that most people have fucking shit to do. They don’t have time to carefully analyze the impact of every piece of legislation, that’s the purpose of electing representatives, it’s electing people who (in theory, at least) can devote…

I’m generally in favor of the referendum process, but I can't help thinking of things like TABOR and being remind of just how dumb people are. 

A round of applause for capitalism, everybody! 

These disgusting people. They’re throwing their hands in the air saying “But, it’s super hard putting people back together that we ripped apart with no intention of reunifying them!”

Trump is an audio/videotape truther. That is: someone who believes what he says on tapes might actually be there: but only if it’s something he later believes he ought to have said.

This is why the 2018 and 2018 elections will not be wholesale rejections of Republicans. Most Americans just don’t pay attention to politics, except as background noise. A headline or soundbite breaks through (“Are they sending kids to concentration camps?”) but a few obfuscations later (Oh, its what was done before”…

She beat an elderly man with a brick for no reason...I’ll take immigrants over homegrown assholes any day.

States and localities with those laws absolutely enforce them.

Huh? It is not a reasonable expectation, at all, that redhat cops would arrest her for some ridiculously minor infraction of a rarely enforced law. That’s why this is a story in the first place — because that is not reasonable and is wholly unacceptable.

When officers witnessed those activities, three detectives approached the stage. Daniels allegedly made her way toward two detectives, leaned over and grabbed their faces. She shoved each of their faces between her breasts, court documents said.

I worked at Sephora for about a year and a half as the Operations Lead (think merchandising, inventory, shrink control, etc). There was nothing—NOTHING—that wasn’t planned to the tiniest detail. It was usually created by someone who had never set foot in our store (much less our state), so of course shit never matched…

Oh man... As a veteran retail warrior I shudder to think that my superiors might be listening to the horrible things I say about them and the guests in general.

If you work at a call center you’re recorded the whole time. The problem comes in that Walmart wouldn’t allow their employees any latitude to talk to each other. I don’t even imagine that they have time when Walmart squeezes the work of twenty people out of six cashiers. People aren’t not being productive because they…

I install this type of hardware for customers like Walmart for the last decade plus. There is ALWAYS some space-age spy shit being talked about, being developed, etc.

Here’s what approximate 95% of the conversations between employees will sound like:

White people, particularly white law enforcement, always get to keep collecting a salary while their cohorts consider whether they can wait out the public outcry or if this one is so stanky it’s not going to go away.

Alright San Bernardino lawyers, dive into those cases and check those folks currently in jail for much harsher sentences than they needed. Really put some consequences out there.
