What’s the sign some of those people are flashing in that loony Lauren pic?
Only thing I could maybe figure is a call-sign to the 3%ers?

It's the "ok" hand symbol that was adopted by white supremacists after a 4chan hoax. 4chan decided it'd be funny if they convinced people that this symbol was actually a symbol of hate. And it worked because people are idiots.

Look at this gerrymandered shitshow:
Pretty incredible... to drive from Lorain/Avon Lake area (North East corner of his district) to Bluffton (the tip of the western arm of his district). It would take ~2 hours. To drive it via the route of his district (Over to Sandusky, down to Marion, down to Urbana, over to Coldwater, and up to Bluffton... 6 hours.

Seems there should be some sort of mathematical equation that you could apply to districts and say "nope...too gerrymandered". I don't know what that is or where the line should be drawn... maybe an area to perimeter ratio?
Personally I'm impressed by the very upper right hand tip of this work of art. Narrowly avoids the city of Lorain (home of a unionized steel mill, old school democratic) to the west of the district but captures avon and north Ridgeville (both affluent).
Update: I was wrong about Avon and Ridgeville. They aren't in his district, but Sheffield is (and is also affluent). The district definitely avoids union friendly lorain though.

Yeah, Morkle. For sure. And my pause might be a distinction without a difference. Just an exercise in incrementally qualifying their awfulness.

I assume that the reason we'll never truly know about the panic button thing is that they obviously can't snap a photo of what's missing.

If a panic button can just be ripped out without setting off some sort of alarm, it's a pretty terrible panic button.

Get your ballot ready tif...

The ghost of Strom Thurmond says "Hold my sweet tea." :lol:

But seriously - I don't understand the need to spend 60+ years in politics.

Someone shared an NBC News segment from when Harvey Milk (and Mayor Moscone of SF) was killed. Dianne Feinstein president of that same Board of Supervisors, and was the one who announced that they had been killed. That was in 1978.

Apparently she thinks that they won't be able identify her?

But no, she's really saying 'hey next time ya'll invade the Capitol, make sure to wear a mask so it's harder to arrest you after the fact.'

Pretty good examples they are setting. Good thing a bunch of white trash Canaans didn't just cruise through the Capitol a week ago.

What’s the point of having security or police officers if nobody is willing to stop them? That’s on them as much as it is these NTP66s, IMO.

So for Republicans, this impeachment basically boils down to how pro trump their base is, right?

I've seen a couple people say that they legally aren't allowed to stop Members of Congress due to how the Constituition allows them to assemble. One of them just needs to claim they're being held from doing their constitutional duty and that cop likely gets fired.

She ran on the platform of “I like guns and people want to **** me”. Very little she does or says is going to make sense.
