Could you try explaining what the user said that was incorrect instead of calling them racist four times and citing some book?

I miss all previous presidents I have experienced prior to now and even Bush would be an improvement versus what we have literally now. They're all directly at fault for the present situation in some way.

Its hosted on a site called lithub, the author is actually an academic. Maybe what you wanted was a more concise op-ed but its just not what the gentleman wrote.

Prop 50 passed in California in response to Texas' redistricting. Other states would have to have a competitive congress and the states that need it most are red as hell. In the case of Texas, their redistricting effort was a national push from the party to consolidate their hold on the house, which was easiest to do in Texas because its already gerrymandered to shit and you can pass whatever you want there. However, the most conservative city in the most conservative county in the state keep going nearly purple on them. If you want Prop 50 in your state its going to take a serious groundgame and a charismatic figurehead like Newsom (hocks loogie). Its not possible without a strong local democrat party and some states are too electorally captured, it will take unseating untold numbers of Republicans in those places to even have a referendum. Whats going to kick off now are further redistricting efforts around the country from all states that are solidly one color or another.

If Halo wasn't dead before it is now. Microsoft whored the Chief out. Considering the state the franchise was already in remaking its first game for a third time to milk nostalgia, I just don't think there'll ever be another Halo title that doesn't reek of tonsil stones and human ashes.

This WAS becoming a mainstream issue more people were waking up to. Then ten years of rule by the culprits out large shut the whole thing up and went further to normalize it. Now were just waiting for talking heads to start edging close to saying its not taboo. Dumpster fire of a social fabric speckled by predators hiding in plain sight and laughing at us.

Are you sure its that and nothing to do with the fact we're taught to understand the relationship between electricity, energy, and computation through the metaphor of a potato battery powering very small things like LEDs?

Hours after it happened I had this hole in my stomach from how bad I wanted panicking conservatives to realize this level of alarm and fear is how regular people feel ALL the time. There are parents whose kids won't ever come home again and THEY'RE not unique, they don't matter, and the DOJ isn't acting as their goddamn lawyer. Right Wingers are reacting like this because this is the first time a shooting at a school campus hurt someome they registered as real and not a crisis actor. Again, being angry, freigtened, and heartbroken is how the rest of America feels about gun violence, and we're just told to get over it. It sucks it had to happen to someone they knew for that reality the rest of us live to sink in

This is literally the world I and many others grew up. Rifle rounds have more freedom on campus than students do.

I invite you to take a look at what the coffee actually did to her before you keep running your mouth. NSFL. If you would not like to look, I offer my services as a transcriber to describe it in depth for you. Whatever I can to make this awful lie McDonalds perpetuated to finally go away.

Imagine being West Point and knowing you've soiled a centuries old reputation as the factory where they make the best stuffy generals because a pedophile said an actor was too nice.
