Everything is hard if you're trying to do it right, especially large scale. Babies with crayons draw better maps than what happened/is happening in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, etc.

Certainly, but they're not given the same slice as D and R. Laws should help balance the scales.

Term limits, no gerrymandering, ranked choice voting, and more than two political parties.

I think it's a balance for them. He's unruly and I think they'd be happy to be rid of him, but they want to make sure they don't set precedence for them all to go to jail, too. That's the main reason they want him gone. They've been setting up dominos for decades and Trump is a whirling dervish fucking everything up. Some dominos get knocked down too early, some get interrupted from knocking down the whole path, some just become ineffective. It's hard to build infrastructure around what he does.

Pretty sure that could be the basis for a series of children's novels that were eventually adapted into a trilogy (or more) of movies.

Fingers crossed!

Yes, but would his credibility (plus the available evidence) be enough to convict someone else, like Graham?

One of my favorite shows of all time. Fairly mellow.

At least their name is not in this article.

And several older generations of her family... those apples don't fall far from the tree.

True, but it does suggest they are in the same league. Not saying it is, but able to be compared suggests that it may be as good in some aspects.

20 years would be very optimistic. I think 10 is optimistic.

I'm 40 now. If I have to wait until I'm 50 for CA to feel like it is good enough for release, I'm fine with that. SDV was and still is a beautiful game that I will come back to regularly, like Terraria. Just good fun.

They should have to dress up like the clowns they are. Oh, and they should have to register their look/persona in the clown database (no idea what the formal name is).

To add an additional perspective, it's not that I dislike these people, some of them I love, but my time has so many asks as it is, and I just cannot maintain active relationships with that many people who have no other impact on my daily life. There are a few I would make time for when the opportunity comes around, but I can't keep sustained things going with more than a few people. I say can't, but what I mean is that I prefer to spend the vast majority of my time with my wife and kids, and I will use just about any amount of time that I can spare for parents, siblings, and their kids. I have a few friends who fit into the same group as the family. After that, it's occasional messages, Christmas cards, and the rare visit/meet up. If you are there for the good, you should be prepared to be there for the bad, in my opinion. I cannot offer that to too many people beyond immediate family. Also, I certainly don't have the money to support some of those folks through their rough patches, and saying "no" to people you care about sucks.

I hadn't noticed tabs! I'll have to check that shit out!

I originally learned this term from the show House.

I'm guessing Ukraine or Putin doing it to make it look like Ukraine.

What about every time he's held in contempt? That would be much more modest. More my speed, I think.
