  1. Not sure, but I got an email targeted at attorneys asking for volunteers for several positions. I believe one of them was poll worker. I don’t think being an attorney is required at all, but yeah, it’s all volunteers for poll workers, observers and hotline staffing.
  2. It’s not always about convincing the other side to switch their vote. It’s often about just getting them to not give as much of a shit to show up and wait in line for “their guy”. To me, that’s what attack ads can do.
  3. We don’t even have casinos, can’t buy liquor on Sundays, and had a really tough time legalizing scratch off lottery tickets. I’m not optimistic about weed here. What I want to see is reform regarding concentrate. $100 pack of gummies from Colorado gets you a plea bargain offer of 20+ years in Pampa, assuming you have no criminal history. The shit should not be any different on the DEA Schedule than “regular” marijuana is.
  4. So, a Republican Senator, from a state which was kinda the bellcow for MJ legalization, is the SOLE source for this article? And the message is “Hey, trust us, the President is going to legalize weed...but only after you all vote for us...I pinky swear.”
  5. Pics of Tri-Delt Mom please? I’m not even asking the daughters, because I’m not an asshole.
  6. Pics of Mom with triple D’s Please.
  7. Do Anabaptists get their children vaccinated?
  8. Yep. I needed the Kavanaugh shares to grade and redeem about it 3 days earlier than they did, because my plan was always to take off of those earnings and dump them on Cruz’ re-election “Yes” shares. Price ticked up quite a bit in that span. I still put in a somewhat lowball offer. If I don’t get a bite soon, Plan B is to just go all in on “Trump will be the 2020 GOP nomineee”. It was around or just under $.70 last I checked.
  9. So you disagree with all of Kavanaugh’s GOP backers who believe that she was attacked at some point, but that she is mistaken, incorrect or lying about the identity of her attacker? I mean, you have heard that defense being screamed out for two weeks now, right? I can go find some mention in a WSJ article (that I’m not dumb enough to pay for) possibly if you need assistance.
  10. Based on the study, it would seem that weed should be illegal for teens, just like alcohol is. Other than that, this shouldn’t really move the needle for anyone.
  11. You are correct. I should have said “non-zero amount”. It’s tiny %. Tiny enough, that if it were up to me, he would just give it all back or whatever. As you noted earlier regarding J Street, Cruz will take any insignifican shit like this and run attacks on it. ETA, that in the big picture, it’s not a big deal, but I just have little, if any faith in the electorate to see through that shit.
  12. Love the self-imposed term limit promise. Not to nitpick, but Beto does take a decent amount of PAC money. It’s not corporate PAC $ though, which is what’s most important, IMO.
  13. I’ll ask the other attorney in my office. We just got a GIANT sign yesterday. It’s about 6 feet wide, at least.
  14. Some of y’all give the electorate WAY too much credit. The confirmation won’t cost the GOP shit in the midterms. General public: “Dems were really going after this guy. He ended up on SCOTUS. Dems must have been wrong about him and just being assholes I guess.” Thats the extent of analysis from the morons that comprise a huge swath of voters. Most Americans couldn’t name 3 SCOTUS cases if asked, and y’all think that some “judicial temperament” or”forced cloture without comprehensive vetting” shit is going to resonate with them.
  15. Unfortunately/fortunately, I have settled on the wagering model, known as “The Brisketexan System”. Basically, whatever he would hypothetically predict will happen is what I bet on. Only real disappointing result so far was Roy Moore losing.
  16. Finally I can get paid on my Kavanaugh confirmation PredictIt shares.
  17. Lol. I was wishfully thinking that you weren’t actually making ANOTHER “LOOK AT WHAT ORRIN HATCH SAID” post. negged for the “poors” comment, because, it’s lame AF, not accurate, and ignorant to think that you need a subscription to view WSJ articles.
  18. Attribute the quote that you pasted.
  19. Let me help you. Military personnel sign up and assume the risk that they may lose their life. Also, I’m not even convinced that some officer would make the choice to save $ over a person, but keep doing you I guess.
  20. Wait, so hypothetically, you would choose dogs and hoses over billions of dollars in damage?
  21. And he still supports the death penalty for the Central Park 5, AFTER they were exonerated on actual innocence claims.
  22. Maybe, but then again, these facts were known to Flake when he initially announced a Yes vote.
  23. The senators told her. I’m assuming that she edited/revised them for style, etc.
  24. Michael Bromwich is elite in these types of cases.
