SectionC3

The obvious answer is yes. You’re OK with stifling minority vote in Georgia, I’m not. Don’t like the nickname Chef Jim Crow? Then don’t support laws that harken to the era of Jim Crow. It’s a pretty simple deal.

Well played by Chef Jim Crow. Well done.

We exercise rights in this country, FYI. And, in any event, since you’re cool with waiting several hours to exercise your voting rights, perhaps you can call your local BOE, tell them to lay off the poll workers and close some polling locations to save a couple of bucks, pretend this is Media Play circa 1994 and you’re camping out for the latest Rush Limbaugh book, park yourself in a soft chair, and see how things go.

Or you live in a place where there is largess of polling locations. Unlike places like, say, minority-majority Georgia and Louisville. Either one.

Cool. So what’s voting “with justice?”

Groovy. Where do I get one if I go to GA? Gotta sink time and effort into getting the card? No expense there. Also, what happens if I’m standing in line and I forget it? Back to another three hour wait to vote without anyone being allowed to give me food/water/etc? I didn’t realize that I should have to pack provisions to vote if I live in a minority-majority part of that state. It’s sad that you believe that such suppression measures are acceptable, but in my America they aren’t. Chef Jim Crow, I see. That’s one poll. Got the other one? And, I’ll note, the poll you referenced reflects strong support for the expansion of voting access to such things as same-day registration and broad absentee availability. Interestingly, the poll also reflects the perception that barriers to legal voting are a bigger problem than illegal voting.

Too much HCQ for you again, I see.

Rule #2, please. I’d like to see the polls (plural). Also, it’s interesting to me that there’s so much pearl clutching about capitalism at work. It’s bad law, and enough people dislike it that it makes financial sense for business to stand against it. Don’t like it? Move to Russia where you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing. Or, better yet, don’t fly Delta, drink Coke, or patronize any of the businesses that made the economic decision to disagree with this nonsense. Define “fairly.”

Not really. That’s what the third deck is for. The issue with MLB is that our market can’t support a franchise.

That response is ineloquent even for you.

It depends on the nature of the shooting. One shooter? Two shooters? More than that? Time involved? Casualties? If the hypothetical is such that we eliminate Sandy Hook/Vegas-type shootings from the equation (big casualty counts catalyzed by fast-firing, high velocity weaponry with large capacity cartridges), then no, I wouldn’t agree. I can’t speak to your last few questions. Probably a constellation of factors, one of which is the abundance of weaponry suitable for the perpetration of such crimes.

I don't disagree with this. Do this stuff (kind of like Iceland) and reimplement the federal assault weapons ban and I'm good.

Sure. Whatever you say. Never mind that having to the slaughter to change clips provides opportunity for intervention. But let’s keep on letting people run around with military grade weapons and blame the mass shooting on the shooters. Maybe we could even get some hollow point bullets out there (it’s not the bullets that kill people, right?) and some handheld nuclear devices to bring mutual assured destruction to suburbia. I bet that neighbor across the street will not let the dog out at 6a against my wishes if he knows that I can turn his lawn (and the dog) into a sheet of glass. Groovy.

We’ll have to look into the particulars of this particular mass shooting. The answer probably is that some people may have died, but the casualty count would have been lower b/c the shooter couldn’t fire as many shots as quickly as he did. But, in the meantime, let’s keep on circulating military-grade weapons among a society that believes in QAnon, hoaxes, “Stop the Steal,” etc. Seems like a really good plan that definitely won’t backfire on anyone. Enjoy your musket, sir.

No kidding. At first (and incomplete) glance shooter seems to have checked all of the "loser" boxes: hoaxes, porn, and clinging to his guns as a measure of self worth. EDIT: I may have conflated the "hoaxes" and "porn" things with the Atlanta shooting spree. Too many shooting sprees this week to keep them straight.

AR-15s don't kill mass quantities of people. People with AR-15s kill mass quantities of people. /end sarcasm. Interesting timing, too: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/nra-bragged-blocking-boulder-ar-040000858.html

Heyyoooo!! Looks like it was a hoax all along!

Agree on all counts. An NFL receiver can't be getting hit in the face with the ball. When the ball went through his hands in the AFCCG and was intercepted, my immediate reaction was that Brown is gone. I'm not surprised they didn't offer him a chance to stick around. Return/gadget guy to come at WR5, Hodgins at WR6, and on we go.

Don’t forget we destroyed man last year too with deep crosses. Having 4 good receivers is a good thing.

It means that a multiple week injury to Allen is less likely to derail the season. Barkley seems like a great dude, and I hope they bring him back and tell Fromm to hit the road. But Trubisky is a piece we need if we’re going to take a run at the Super Bowl. Love the signing.

As far as I know Mack used to train here in the off-season. So ... maybe it’s home. Whatevs. Let’s get him and beat the chiefs.

Even considering the early hour, this is a particularly stupid comment.

The nature of the papers will tell us a little about this case. I'm curious if they're (the Texas equivalent) of verified, which essentially means that the attorney is swearing to the veracity of the contents. Also, FWIW, around here nobody who is credible would bring a case like this without subjecting their client to a polygraph. Not sure if it's the same practice down there.

The post you quoted referred to a criminal trial, which I don't think anyone wants. But it might be where it ends up if the unnamed accuser who alleged that Cuomo fondled her speaks to police. I think, without looking it up, that we're in E felony/A misdemeanor territory here. But say it's a felony, and it goes to a grand jury. It's going to get billed, which means that it almost certainly gets to trial (she could get cold feet/pass away/recant/etc., he could plea). But I'd be surprised if he would plea and, without knowing more about the alleged vic, I'd be surprised if the DA would offer a plea (nabbing a big fish like that is good for one's career). I'm with you. He's done. Too much smoke here. I thought Spitzer, who actually engaged in human trafficking, might have survived if he waited it out. I don't think Cuomo will make it if he tries to wait. Burned way too many bridges screaming at people over the years. That, and people are really going to enjoy Melissa DeRosa's fall from grace. So if he doesn't go he's going to get a visit from some people he trusts telling him it's time to pull the chute or face removal by conviction.

Nope. By that logic, the Republican Party stormed the Capitol b/c some Republicans were part of the group of traitors. The party itself didn’t act there, much as the party itself didn’t catalyze what has occurred here.
