The former president’s apparent decision to skip the first debate is a major affront both to the Republican National Committee and to Fox News, which is hosting the event.
No, desantis already tried the “Trump is too liberal” tactic and failed. Why? Because Trump is the strong daddy in Republicans eyes, and you can’t call the strong daddy weak.
Instead you say that strong daddy is being railroaded by the libtards and it’s totally unfair, but you should vote for me because he has to concentrate on his legal fights and I’m also a strong daddy.
Delivering a win for abortion rights advocates, Ohio’s Issue 1 will fail, the Associate Press projects. The Republican-backed ballot initiative would have increased the threshold to amend the state’s constitution, making it more difficult for a measure that would enshrine abortion rights into the state’s constitution to...
There’s a reason they chose that 60% figure in the amendment proposal: if you don’t really think about it, it seems reasonable (it’s not even 2/3rds!) But in reality, in the country’s currently fractured political climate, getting to 60% is near impossible. Hell, if a Presidential candidate carries a state with 55% it’s considered a crushing defeat, so 60 is a crazy high bar.
Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1 that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the vote against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the special election was seeking to require in the first...
It also removed the signature curing period, meaning that there is no second chance to get more signatures or any of the originals get thrown out. For example, there is a recreational marijuana initiative that people are trying to get on the ballot in November. When they turned in signatures, it was found that they were, iirc, 639 signatures short. Under the current rules (which will remain) they had 10 days to come up with what they needed. Last I saw, they had gotten over 6,000, so that’s cool.
Iirc, in the last (illegal) redistricting, the Rs kinda gave Cincinnati our representative back, but created at least one other district that would go hard R.
It is really nice to have Landsman in there, though. He actually fights to get us funding for things, as opposed to Chabot’s preferred stance of steering funding literally anywhere else.

I’d guess they chose the area because of the relatively low population. They figure they can outnumber the locals like the libertarians have been trying to do in New Hampshire.
I was gonna say that the arm chair makes sense to go with the vanity area, but then I noticed that there is an ottoman type seat that nicely sides under the vanity counter.
I know what you mean, but I’d lay a dollar that these people aren’t from the city. More likely suburbs, exurbs, small town, etc.
People who live in cities tend to understand danger and avoid it. If somebody is like, “that street gets dangerous past X block, and you’re likely to get mugged or worse” you don’t go there. Same principle as a wild animal.
“I won’t change my mind, cause I don’t have to. Cause I’m an American. I won’t change my mind on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before me. I’m dug in, and I’ll never change.”

Your first sentence is absolutely accurate, but I think this specific case is more about sticking it to the libs in the cities that passed these laws, with the side benefit that most of these workers are minorities that the state reps don’t like.

No, neurotypical people have to think about actions before we take them. We aren’t robots. I don’t automatically get up from the couch, make dinner, and then eat it without thinking about it.
We get distracted and forget things, too. I went to the coffee shop the other day and realized I left my wallet at home.
My brother has extreme ADHD, and it’s much harder for him to manage everyday things. He might hyper focus on something and forget to eat all day, etc, but we both have to consciously do tasks just the same.
I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don’t have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren’t even really expensive too....

However, when the Dems did recently control the House, they managed to pass the infrastructure act, and the inflation reduction act, two huge pieces of domestic legislation.
When the Rs had the House, Senate, and White House from 2016-18, they refused to pass any kind of infrastructure act, despite that being one of the cornerstones of the Trump campaign. The only thing they really did was pass a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans that raised taxes in the middle class and increased the deficit.
