Listen, we’ve all been there. It’s Tuesday, the whole week is ahead of you, and there isn’t anything good on TV. Sometimes you just need to do science. What’s the best ratio of baby oil to lube for cooking flank steak? The best ratio for checking the tire pressure in your car? How many times can you jump rope in a pool of baby oil with a lubricated Stretch Armstrong? These are questions that science hasn’t answered yet, and I’ll be damned if I besmirch Sean “P. Diddy” Combs good name because of the advancements he brought to the discipline of scie-- oh, hold on, I’m getting some new information. Ahh, I see. He’s one of those sex perverts. Uh-huh. That makes more sense. Very well, then, besmirch away.
That would imply that Israel started the Israeli - Hezbollah war. “On 8 October 2023, Hezbollah started firing guided rockets and artillery shells at Israeli positions”
This is an ongoing war, not some surprise attack. Hezbollah is just whining because they’re cowards who started something they can’t finish, and now are facing the consequences of their actions.
Yeah, that justifies putting explosives in thousands of devices shipped to civilians and/or used directly in the vicinity of civilians; causing thousands of innocent people to be injured and killed indiscriminately.
Fuck off.
This was an act of pure terrorism, and (another) clear violation of the Geneva conventions.
NPR was saying these devices are used by people in government too and that government vehicles were seen arriving at the hospital, and that children had been killed. They didn’t just target Hezbollah.
This is when governments should be overthrown. The people spoke and the government did not follow through.
In 2015 and 2018, its voters overwhelmingly approved two constitutional amendments designed to limit partisan influence over maps. The amendments required the Legislature to enact genuinely bipartisan redistricting plans; if lawmakers failed to do so, a new bipartisan board, the Ohio Redistricting Commission, had to draw fair, representative maps.
This process proved easy to game by political actors, because Republican politicians held a majority on the new commission. In 2021 and 2022, this GOP majority enacted a series of flagrant gerrymanders, which the state Supreme Court struck down. The commission flouted the court’s decisions over and over again, running out the clock to the election. It then invited a conservative federal court to impose a gerrymander that the Ohio Supreme Court had already ruled unconstitutional. As a result, the state’s Republicans won a towering and unearned supermajority in the Ohio Legislature.
It seems seems dubious to me too. But the ‘gr’ in migrants would sound roughly the same as ‘gger.’ The problem is… well. He seems to start it with an ‘n’ and then also mis-inflects the ‘i’?
It would be like trying to say ‘clickable’ and instead saying ‘slacker.’
I saw the dumb defender say he was conflating immigrant and migrant but I replayed that part a dozen times. It really, really sounds like an ‘N’ as the first letter. It definitely was not him beginning to pronounce ‘immgr’. You can plainly hear it.
But even if we gave him the benefit of the doubt, the fact that Megyn Kelly completely ignored it and the fact that he didn’t apologize immediately and explain it says volumes about both of them. Why didn’t Kelly even say anything? Maybe she’s so used to hearing it in her circles, maybe even saying it, that it didn’t even register as something unusual to her and she didn’t notice it.
How is this any different from theft? These people should be sent to jail. If one of these homeless kids would steal $100 in goods from any store there is a good chance they’d have to sit in a jail cell for a while.
These trips were muchore valuable, toss all of them in jail for a month at least
To create an appointed redistricting commission not elected by or subject to removal by the voters of the state
However a vote of “Yes” would establish a non-partisan (or, IMO more accurately, a mixed partisan) committee of 15 (5R, 5D, 5 other) where a majority of the committee must approve the redistricting.
The extended description starts with this
Repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three-quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018, and eliminate the longstanding ability of Ohio citizens to hold their representatives accountable for establishing fair state legislative and congressional districts.
Technically all of this is correct but I can absolutely see how it’s misleading voters.
Full disclosure, I’m not a lawyer or political scientist and I do not live in Ohio.
As an ohioian, the current system isn’t enabling some nobel pursuit of holding people accountable. It’s blatantly “our team draws the lines, in a way that benefits our team, who can draw the lines next time, benefitting our team again”
And even after the R weighted supreme court rules “the lines are biased - throw out the map”, they still find a way to use the map anyway. Yeah. Calling it a “repeal of gerrymander protection” is a joke and a half.
We don’t have sample ballots yet, but this matches our local reporting:
Now LaRose is abusing his position on the Ohio Ballot Board to paint Issue 1 in a comically negative light. The Ohio Constitution bars ballot language that would “mislead, deceive, or defraud the voters.” Yet the board’s description of the amendment states that it would create “a new taxpayer-funded commission of appointees required to gerrymander the boundaries of state legislative and congressional districts” to produce “partisan outcomes” (emphasis added). It also declares that the amendment would “repeal constitutional protections against gerrymandering approved by nearly three-quarters of Ohio electors participating in the statewide elections of 2015 and 2018,” a gratuitous reference to the failed reforms of the previous decade.
This is grossly misleading of what we approved in the past.
This is like an unfunny onion article. The fact that there can be civilian casualties in NYPDs war on fare jumpers is just shameful. It’s not for the money. They spend $150 million a year to recover $100k. Beyond an embarrassment.
