Is that even a close call? If Trump called me a shithead I'd wear that as a badge of honor. If Mr Rogers called me a disappointment I would question my life choices.

Back in Davenport, as Hannity wrapped the town hall, the crowd’s reaction left no confusion over how Trump’s town hall and his remarks landed.

They gave him a standing ovation.

He didn't. This was a last minute payout by Twitter prior to the change in ownership. He's trying to not pay them retroactively.

Woo! Let's get less gerrymandered!

I can't understand why they wouldn't be disallowed from working as electors in any future election full stop. Limiting it like that seems like almost no consequence.

Whoa, spoilers man, c'mon!

It is, and I'm fine with Evers using it to either secure school funding, or have the courts codify what the limits of the veto powers are.

"Don't elect the other guy" campaigning is strongly incentivized by first past the post voting, unfortunately. Not that that's the sole cause, but... it's certainly not helping.

I mean, going from this example it seems like everyone should be afraid of good guys with guns.

Oh shit, we haven't? Do I... do I have to start saying stuff about eating pets?

I just watched Neon Genesis Evangellion. WTF at the end of the series. Then saw there was a later movie with the "real" end. Which was also WTF.

Is this the Simpsons approach? "I'm just going to fire my chain guns like this, and if you get shot down it's your own fault!"

Don't step on the cracks!

Was... anyone under the impression that this was for any other reason?

I am disappointed that this is not about Fords being delivered by drones =D

Prior to the 2016 election, I was hopeful that the freedom caucus and the rest of the far right was getting too crazy for the general public, and that its support would collapse leading to a bit of a normalization of politics.

Wishful thinking, in retrospect.

Well that is a train wreck of a title.

But, good news.

Could see that coming a mile away. Still laughed.

I have a couple that I found for youtube that block the cards on top of videos, and the little info things in the corners.

It looks like Missouri's tax revenue in 2021 was just under $60 billion. So... is his estimate assuming that all pregnancies are aborted and revenue ceases?

I was curious, so I looked up the amended wording, which is

(b) If the governor approves and signs the bill, the bill shall become law. Appropriation bills may be approved in whole or in part by the governor, and the part approved shall become law.

(c) In approving an appropriation bill in part, the governor may not create a new word by rejecting individual letters in the words of the enrolled bill, and may not create a new sentence by combining parts of 2 or more sentences of the enrolled bill.

I guess I don't know how strictly laws are usually interpreted with respect to the distinction between letters in words vs digits in numbers, but I think I would expect the court to rule against Evers here; striking digits seems to be clearly against the spirit of the amendment. On the flip side, though, the partial veto has enough of an established history of gamesmanship that I would also buy the argument that an amendment intended to ban striking digits should be expected to spell that out.

The lying is certainly bad, but the part about not talking to the detective seems like what any hospital would have to do (not discuss details of a patient's stay with someone until being sure they are authorized).

I don't understand the word "shuffled" here, and I am afraid to.

Two spaces after periods.

Yeah I just imagine her doing the South Park I'm sorry routine.

S'pose that's fair. It does seem odd that the report would say the generator was "not configured" to power the ship, rather than not capable of it.

No, we are not ok. Please send help.

To reply to myself again as I keep going down this rabbit hole, the opinion in Citizens Utility Board v. Klauser, 534 N.W.2d 608 (Wis. 1995) includes

Thus, the amendment as ratified by the citizenry only limits the governor's veto of letters and keeps intact the Wisconsin Senate conclusion that the governor has the authority to "reduce or eliminate numbers and amounts of appropriations" and exercise a "partial veto resulting in a reduction in an appropriation."

A "reduction in appropriation" is clearly not what happened here, but the distinction between letters and numbers is apparently, at least in the opinion for this case, intentional.

I had a cherry chutney hamburger at a restaurant somewhere in Missouri. I ordered it because I thought it was a weird combo. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

There's https://lemmit.online/ where a bot can automatically communities based on subreddits, and mirror posts there. Last I tried it was a week or two ago and it wasn't working great. Not sure of that was because lemmit.online was struggling or my home instance was struggling. Or both.

How about: pardon him, and simultaneously draft an ammendment saying that pardons cannot be used on yourself, family members, or your close associates.

Better investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma even harder then!
