  • That's an easy answer: Money.

    Money is speech therefore more money is more speech. And since it's a democracy, more speech equals more power and the right to choose. Therefore SCOTUS has determined and upheld that money is the only deciding factor in this country.

  • Republican Party of Texas delegates voted Saturday on a platform that called for new laws to require the Bible to be taught in public schools and a constitutional amendment that would require statewide elected leaders to win the popular vote in a majority of Texas counties.

    Other proposed planks of the 50-page platform included proclamations that “abortion is not healthcare it is homicide”; that gender-transition treatment for children is “child abuse”; calls to reverse recent name changes to military bases and “publicly honor the southern heroes”; support for declaring gold and silver as legal tender; and demands that the U.S. government disclose “all pertinent information and knowledge” of UFOs.

    Some of this is hateful, abusive shit like abortion and transition healthcare. Some of the else is dumbfuckery at the highest level like gold/silver standard and UFO info. Texas is a failed state if they pass any of this shit.

    Perhaps the most consequential plank calls for a constitutional amendment to require that candidates for statewide office carry a majority of Texas’ 254 counties to win an election, a model similar to the U.S. electoral college.

    Under current voting patterns, in which Republicans routinely win in the state’s rural counties, such a requirement would effectively end Democrats’ chances of winning statewide office.

    Oh cool they want to make it so the rural idiots in bumfuck can hold up statewide elections? Cool. Other states should pass a law making all elections beholden to state-wide popular vote. Seeing as most of the country isn't right-wing, that would ensure Republicans don't see another seat outside of red states again. Obviously /s but fuck Republicans, the traitorous, undemocratic fucks.

  • Golf carts suck. They are rarely fast enough to not be a hazard on non-residential roads and they dont' have any of the required safety features cars must have. They don't require helmets like motorcycles do, either. It's just a loop hole, or unenforced law to cater to rich(er) people who would complain to high heavens if they couldn't drive their little carts around suburbia.

  • What does that entail? Aren't most of the new ultra conservative justices young? We'll be dealing with the boofer and no-notes for decades.

  • Did Gandalf even need a staff? I figured a maiar didn't need magic items.

  • Those are. Just not in the abundance as the fall. And maybe not thawed everywhere.

  • When you are more anti Biden than anti Trump, you are effectively pro Trump.

  • You don't have to turn camera on. In fact almost none of my teams calls use video. That would mean we'd all have to get dressed...

  • Call into a teams meeting and occasionally say something (don't actually unmute).

  • Creates surprisingly firm spray of lemonade at a target creature. The target must make a CON save. On a success the target is healed for 2d8 hit points and it's cured of 1 level of exhaustion. On a failure, the target instead takes half as much damage and is poisoned for 1 hour.

  • Yep. Doesn't even have historical significance. It's just another of those Jim Crow statues meant to oppress black people after slavery ended. Fucking NC.

  • Even if that's overturned they'll never prosecute him for it. He's rich and so above the law.

  • Thanks!

  • I was hoping so but a Google didn't find anything.

  • Rad.

    Why does it say "earth trines"?

  • Broke a damn and flooded and drowned hundreds.

  • Get out of here, Todd!

  • Why would you make it black? That thing is going to be hot as hell.
