  1. Ditched the lead singer. Sound changed after that.
  2. I hope so. I hope their behavior gets emulated across some of the more rural states surrounding Texas. I have very little trust in the Christians of Oklahoma.
  3. This story is different, and frankly weird as hell, but not kid touching by church / school members. I'm not a fan of it, if I'm being honest, and my kid isn't in Deer Creek. If they were, I'd probably have some pointed questions. That being said, it's become a bullet that's already been loaded in Walters's gun aimed at public education in Oklahoma. The culture wars for the schools is really going to start getting ugly up here. https://okcfox.com/news/local/deer-creek-school-district-responds-after-video-shows-students-licking-toes-for-fundraiser-wonderful-week-of-fundraising-not-your-average-joe-coffee-clash-of-classes-deer-creek-high-school-students-class-competition-feet
  4. This is a legitimate, well-reasoned, almost common-sense opinion and approach to the issue. I agree completely. And it will still be used as some sort of rallying cry for the MAGA crowd. Everyday I'm fucking lost that reason only exists for about 52% of the country.
  5. There's always been people that have shifted center once elected, for all the usual money and incumbency reasons. That said, this one burned me up a bit, if only because the abandonment of her platform seemed like such whiplash. She's not my senator, so maybe that was always whispered about in the Arizona political background? I don't know, but good riddance.
  6. Serious question, what would qualify as an insurrection to you? Diplomatic cables exchanged between Trump and Biden that he intended to remain in office?
  7. TIL that when a violent mob storm the United States fucking Capitol in the name of, and at the behest of, a political candidate to protect his incumbency and reverse a legally-recognized election result, it is not an insurrection.

  9. I’ve done most of my intern/extern/ALI work through the university indigent civil clinic, in Oklahoma, which might explain my distaste for working the profession. It is incredibly difficult to watch everyday folks get hammered by the process itself. Add in the typical array of attorney tricks (evidence dumping the day before the hearing in my case) and judges who arbitrarily ignore legitimate warning signs of violence, it has become one of the most fucked up experiences of my life. Caseloads are so large, and without any really money behind you, most of the attorneys have just accepted the losses and move on to try and win the next. There’s a helplessness to it that drives me mad.
  10. Pretty sure the churches will be in on the deportations rather than providing sanctuary. I’m sure it’s in their big book somewhere.
  11. The Ds need to expand the Court if they ever manage to capture the executive and Congress again. To my eyes, the current Court is on a revenge tour against substantive due process, voting rights, and the old torchbearers like Brennan and TMarshall. It’s become less about being the nation’s high court, and more about regressively rolling back individual rights at the behest of money interests and their own fundamentalist political values. That doesn’t change without expansion, death, or… overthrow I guess.
  12. I’m wrapping up school in May. Your numero two is why I will not be practicing. It is absolutely not what I thought it would be.
  13. TTom still out there barking at cars somewhere?
  14. I have a hard time believing that either he or his army of marks will concede another election loss. I think we're in for more violence, especially in the red states. J6 may look like larping in the park the closer we get to November.
  15. Who could’ve foreseen this? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/3/4/2227340/-Libs-of-TikTok-teamed-up-with-Nazis-now-one-is-attacking-her-for-being-Jewish
  16. I'm failing to see how "spiritual lesbians" is some sort of dig.
  17. Like… watching, along with the rest of the country, as Mom jerked off a potential new stepdad in public?
  18. “Now I’m questioning if he’s aware of this.”
  19. Yep. It all comes down to a handful of districts in a handful of states.
