Well, I ended up voting for Pritzker, despite the shithole Democrats have put this state in. And today he says he wants to legalize marijuana and vacate arrests dealing with marijuana.

Hopefully his promises don’t.....go up in smoke.

Ummmm..... We did. It was literally called in history "Reconstruction."

It ended in 1876? (Not so sure). Due to an agreement to a tied election to let the Republicans win the Presidency if they'd stop Reconstruction (troops) in the South.

Due to the death of Lincoln and the ascent of Johnson, Reconstruction was never anything like the treatment of Germany post WW2, even with the hushing up of Nazi ties.

The history of Jim Crow is the history of how Reconstruction failed to genuinely give agency to the formerly enslaved and remove the entrenched racism/subjugation.

And you see the effects of that today in Nicodemus's posts here, even if he lives in Arizona.

I somehow strongly doubt even the most entrenched conservative judges will agree to curtail their own power when it comes to judicial review.

Well they are now saying Acosta assaulted the female staffer and have revoked his press pass despite everyone seeing that this is not the case. This is nothing short than active government censorship! Even BK and Nico have to see that!

Don't worry, they're just genuinely concerned about this man-monster's rampage.

[Azath Vitr (D'ivers]

Posting doctored video? I'm glad they're not more technically savvy (so far), this could get much worse.

Maybe with Russia's help by 2020... ugh, what Trump would do if he could manufacture audio and video to validate his lies.

Did Florida really ban offshore oil drilling?

[worry]

Yah, it was a single amendment that simultaneously banned offshore drilling AND most indoor workplace vaping.

[QuickTidal]

Fairly sure that Acosta has legal grounds to sue the administration and Sanders for libel. That video is clear Acosta didn’t touch her. If anything, SHE (the intern) could get nabbed for assault as she tries to grab the mic from him. I mean, he likely won’t, but he should.

All because he asks Trump some confrontational questions he didn’t like. That press conference should have been titled “President Triggered”.

What a shitshow.

Good on you Acosta. Hold these clowns responsible for their actions. The whole White House press Corp should show Sanders her clear LIE the next time they have a briefing....I mean it’s on video that she’s lying FFS!

reagarding another moment...It’s also really insane that when asked about nationalism by Yamiche Alcindor, he calls her question racist. It’s like...what? What low won’t he sink to?

Ugh, some voting systems really need to get updated with the times. Same for the UK system. I'm sure it worked fine 50-100 years ago, but times change.

I expect both BK and Nico to be in here talking about how mean Acosta is and why the liberals something something MeToo movement something something.

At least thats the line from the Bots on Reddit.

....aaaaaaand fuck.

RBG took a spill after feeling discomfort last night. Is in hospital.

I swear to crap if Trump gets to fill a 3rd goddamned SCOTUS seat...your country is broken irreparably for the next century.

Oh, and it sounds like potentially thousands of uncounted absentee ballots in Florida have been found.

[QuickTidal]

And Georgia has enough votes uncounted that they can call for a recount.

And Kemp finally stepped down from his role at administering the election he was a candidate in....

Can Stacey Abrams still win Georgia?

[QuickTidal]

What must it be like to be married to a Trump sycophant while writing opinion pieces that point out how awful Trump is being and acting unconstitutionally?

Yeah I mean that sounds just like me...

To Tiste: yes. My feelings haven't changed a single bit though on Acosta.

He isn't doing his job, asking hard questions?

No, you fool, he viciously attacked that poor intern. Didn't you know Acosta is a kung-fu master and his karate chop can break a brick wall?

/s in case that needs to be said.

[worry]

Uh, looks like the Florida election ain't over....recounts likely for both Nelson vs. Rick Scott (Senate race) and even Gillum vs. DeSantis. I don't know if either is likely to flip, but the Senate race in particular has some very hinky details.
