More like small town corruption and overreach becoming national news. The nearest big city is Wichita (60mi South). I highly doubt that Marion, KS is filled to the brim with staunch leftists because a democrat living in a town like that is likely to be more conservative than your typical republican.

The 5th Circuit just tossed Mississippi's lifetime disenfranchisement of convicted felons, so even those restrictions get scrutinized. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/35243/mississippis-lifetime-felony-voting-ban-unconstitutional-appeals-court-rules

I pointed out that bit of nonsense in a different thread awhile ago. The proper response to his candidacy is to point and laugh uproariously. The proposal - or something similar - is going to sit well with asshats who don't want "those people"* voting. * The exact make-up of "those people"...

Oh dear. Hope that gets fixed soon.

We expect perfection and almost never get it.

Even during the Trump lockdown the only things my wife and I couldn't do without a mask was buy booze (liquor licences are expensive and excise does not fuck around). Meanwhile our daugters thought it was great because it meant that guys weren't trying to hit on them while they were in class or...

If that's true I wonder what they'd say about the rifles and carbines Christopher Spencer designed and manufactured in the 1860's. During the Civil War Colonel John T. Wilder was wealthy enough to tell Congress "If you won't pay for it, I will."

If you're a J. Random Taxpayer who gets selected for an audit the auditor is checking to see if the i's are dotted, the t's are crossed, and the forms are filled out correctly. If you made a good faith effort to get things right they'll correct the mistakes and tell you how off you were. If...

I actually kinda like them. The only time I've been audited by the IRS they discovered that the gal who did our taxes wasn't as competent as she claimed to be and that the US government actually owed me money.

Or the accountant wants to know why you put down 17hrs on a Friday where you left at noon to take a 2-week vacation. That was a fun Saturday morning conversation. We bill by the hour instead of the 6 minutes lawyers use. About four hours spread out over five* of that was me and my colleagues...

Arrogance and Stupidity ... In our stumbling around we do tend to "wake the dragon".

Bingo. It's not quite the same but when I'm designing a complicated room renovation where the walls, ceiling, and floor have to come off I'm going to call an architect because, while I know what got removed and needs to be replaced, I don't know what the correct paint color is and "match...

The IRS is basically asking accountants to be SWAT. An accountant is far more dangerous when sitting behind a desk piled high with stacks of paper than SWAT with a no-knock warrant can ever be to someone who doesn't get the books right. The FBI couldn't nail Al Capone for his illegal...

I wouldn't say everyone. The NOAA does good work and weather.gov is where I go for a 7-day hourly forecast.

That's pocket change when compared to the worst parking ticket I'm aware of. $750 for an expired licence plate and an Imam got dinged for two grand on top of that.

Texas is also much larger and much less densly populated than France. Make of that what you will.

I'm wondering how DC actually has an illegal immigrant problem bad enough that the National Guard needs to be called in because DC isn't much larger - in terms of area - than the Indianopolis suburb I call "home".

It's Libra and The Scales of Justice are something she probably doesn't want to bring into a discussion.

She'd probably also say that she has a healthy weight. She doesn't.

The article, while extremely evil, wasn't completely wrong. When someone is tired, desperate, and starving they'll do pretty much whatever it takes to get a meal and the list of crimes they'll commit starts with things like shoplifting and petty theft.
