Democrats vote for something that should not benefit them and benefits the people as a whole. Republicans do something that makes a change necessary. Democrats vote to TEMPORARILY undo that benefit for the people with a time-based reenacting of the benefit.
You: BOTH SIDES!!
Democrats try to vote for ranked choice voting in some states. Republicans push to outlaw that for the entire country.
You: BOTH SIDES!!
It also doesn’t work when a very large percentage of people desperately WANT you to go low.
So, this CA law is removing the anti-gerrymandering legislation that CA Democrats got enacted. The Democrats proposed a state-wide initiative to stop gerrymandering. It won, and we were all happy. Now we have to remove that legislation because Republicans in other states are going the other direction.
If you think getting 20 Republican governors to sign up for a Constitutional amendment that will destroy the chances of a Republican majority US House is a doable do, then I have a bridge to sell you. The thing is, even proposing it would cost the taxpayers million in all the logistical crap that would happen to have a vote for something guaranteed to fail.
The weird thing is this CA law removed anti-gerrymandering laws. We had a legal barrier here in CA, but this law was to remove that barrier so we could counter TX. It sucked voting for it.
And that is called hunting. Using specialized skills and tools to locate and approach a target in its home environment is hunting.
You say you aren’t apologizing for DHS here, but you are fighting really hard against a VERY common use of the word hunt because it makes DHS look bad.
It is using “hunt” in the digital sense. They didn’t know who he was or where he lived. They had to force Google to give them his info, which they then used to find his physical address.
Do you think he signed his email with his full name and home address?
No, it was just intentionally posting a story that used a factual but misleading headline to try tricking people into thinking a progressive politician is involved with a pedophile. You know exactly what you were doing.
Dark Souls III for 2016.
I only accept the 1989 Nintendo version of Tetris as “Tetris.” Anything else is incorrect.
That said, there was a flash game in the early 2000s called Supertris that was amazing and held global high score lists. I played the shit out of that.
It’s honestly a remarkable accomplishment.
They were both Nazis. The Puma brother split off because he suspected Adi of getting him conscripted into the army, which led to him being imprisoned by the Allies.
Yes, but did the three stripes make themselves iconic, or did the innovative business strategies of the brothers make the brand iconic? Would any logo have become iconic just for being associated with the company whose shoes were worn by Jesse Owens?
This administration is comic book levels of both evil and incompetence.

It is unreal how many tourists are there, though. I was shocked when I went there and basically couldn’t even see the fountain. We left immediately because we didn’t want to deal with all that. Rome has been my least favourite city to visit, purely because of all the tourists. Even going to Paris, which has CRAZY numbers of tourists, didn’t seem as bad; maybe because it was just designed to handle it.
I don’t think the 2 euro fee will stem the number of tourists, but it will help pay for all the upkeep the city has to do for everything to not go to shit when a million people walk through a small area every day.
I didn’t know that until this thread. That other poster made the distinction, so I looked it up.
The point they were making is that blackmail is only about revealing legal infractions. It’s a legal distinction that most people don’t care about in everyday language.
Under US law, blackmail is legally defined as threatening to reveal a criminal act in exchange for goods/services. Extortion is for threatening to reveal sensitive information.
So these two are CBP, not ICE. CBP is much more often the people on the border searching for drugs, not the people rounding up undocumented immigrants. People of color might sign up for CBP thinking they could help lower the amount of fentanyl being smuggled in. Now, these two specific guys are clearly in it to hurt people, regardless of their skin color.
It’s hard to both love and hate the same thing. I hate that we are doing this to people, but if it is going to happen at least it is happening to assholes like this guy.
That was his heroic plan the whole time.
