We wonât get into what he did to the apple pie . . .
Incumbent Dalessandro won reelection in 2016 by 18 percentage points, so Iâm hoping the non-zero probability isnât too substantial.
I grew up in Arizona, and my parents are still there, helping to elect the crazies, so I wonât argue. Hereâs a piece on some legislation that passed the state senate in early 2017. Fortunately, the House actually had enough sense to let it drop without consideration. The GOP senate believed that the danger posed by something that doesnât exist (people who are paid to plan and participate in violent protests) justified punitive measures prohibited by something that does exist (the First Amendment) :
Claiming people are being paid to riot, Republican state senators voted Wednesday to give police new power to arrest anyone who is involved in a peaceful demonstration that may turn bad â even before anything actually happened.
SB1142 expands the stateâs racketeering laws, now aimed at organized crime, to also include rioting. And it redefines what constitutes rioting to include actions that result in damage to the property of others.
But the real heart of the legislation is what Democrats say is the guilt by association â and giving the government the right to criminally prosecute and seize the assets of everyone who planned a protest and everyone who participated. And whatâs worse, said Sen. Steve Farley, D-Tucson, is that the person who may have broken a window, triggering the claim there was a riot, might actually not be a member of the group but someone from the other side.
Wouldnât Trumpp love to have that power at the Federal level.
As horrified as I was at the abuse of power the bill represented, and the boneheaded false beliefs used to justify it, I had to laugh when I read this:
Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, said the new criminal laws are necessary.
Sate you trying to access comments directly from the article? I canât do that.
My work around is to go to Hive and pick either latest for poster initiated discussions or TPM articles. This gets you directly to the discussions but you can toggle back to the article from the top.
Now a sane person would say that two deaths and his incarceration could have been avoided if his mother wasnât armed.
Bobby Wilson is a proud Republican and Republican voters are proud of Bobby Wilson. He represents everything that is notable about the Republican party and will make an outstanding Republican candidate.
Oh!
No.
Damn!
I had a moment there.
I am getting depressed today. In my little burg, driving down main street, all I see are signs pimping for Conservative Republicans, Extremely Conservative Republicans, and Severely Conservative Republicans.
And I am law-abiding, and therefore canât add little tags that say âConvicted Criminalâ to Joe Arapahoâs stuff. (Or âCrazy Loonâ to Chemtrails Kelliâs banners.)
Works for Donnycakes.
You know how you tell a Good Guy With A Gun?
You donât tell them, they tell you.
Totally agree on that point.
Must be. Here in Central Texas itâs currently 104 with 78% humidity. And as everybody knows, we have no crazies here in Texas!
I canât think of a more apt metaphor for the current state of the GOP: a matricidal arsonist with amnesia.
How about a narcissistic pathological fabulist?
SHHHHH!! I wonât tellâŚ
Entirely to the point as well.
But itâs a dry crazy.
The only thing to stop a bad mom with a gun, is an amnesiac son with a gun.
She wouldnât have been able to use a gun in that situation anyway. Plus, what if he had had one?
I paid for prime and use an adblocker too. Sorry Josh.
The very latest article often doesnât have comments for awhile. But the other problem, the 504 bad gateway one, has been really bad at times lately but those seem to come in spats. Could be they are working on something on the backend - seems like this has happened before shortly before the comment section was upgraded. But usually is when there is a flood of comments coming in for some reason.
They are crazy even when theyâve had no alcohol.
