Outside of perverts, who would have cared? What a creepy story.

This is the weirdest story.

As Scalfin noted, that’s impossible due to populations not clustering around counties evenly. But with the technology we have in 2017, drawing reasonable districts that group people together coherently isn’t that hard. It’s finding someone to champion for it that is the real challenge.

I could picture a legit way to come up with district 12 (a river valley or something), but the arms on district 1 are pretty shady.

If you look at the maps, District 12 looks way more contorted than District 1 (so at first you might expect District 12 would produce the unanimous ruling), but reading a little bit into the opinion, the state senators involved in the gerrymandering appeared to discuss their real intentions for District 1 more openly.

Because fox’s ledes so far this afternoon have been Wiener and dam leaks. (I wish I was kidding)

OMG I was sooooooooo hoping the Root would cover this because I cannot stop laughing about it. In the vid below, please look at Comey in the curtains. I saw this before and never noticed how awkward the exchange was.

Its not possible to reason with unreasonable people.

A “loving husband” who had to resign amid allegations of sexually harassing practically every woman who ever worked at Fox News.

So, when Scalia died, all my friends were like, WHOO HOO! PARTY TIME IN AMERICA! I quietly said nothing, and although I agreed with the sentiment that the SCOTUS and country are better off without him anywhere near a position of power, I recognized that he was still a human person deserving of basic human dignity (we…

My in-laws are from Indiana (as well as some people in my company I work with every once in a while), and they all say Pence is universally hated there, including many Republicans. I don’t know if they’re exaggerating - total anecdotal evidence here.

So, he has been caught lying about his knowledge about Flynn (per the Sally Yates hearing, I think). There’s that.

I am from Indiana and I’ve disliked Pence for so very long. I wonder how easy it will be for Republicans to get the people behind him now that it seems extremely unlikely/basically impossible that he wasn’t in on some of the bullshit going on in the White House. The report that broke last night about how the…

Trump supporting co-worker on the news this morning:

I have a .gif that I have been waiting since this Comey thing started for when they officially announce impeachment proceedings to use. Every day, every new article, I hope that it’s that wonderful news so I can plop that .gif with glee. It is still not that day, but I feel we are getting closer.

“If I went out tomorrow on the street and I asked ten people who James Comey was, I’d probably maybe get three, maybe four, who knew, depending on the neighborhood,” Watters explained
