Cleanup in Aisle Lunatic (h/t romad1)

I would like to note that the "you got something wrong, therefore your argument is shit" thing is rolled out a lot in the gun debate.  "You called a magazine a clip!!!!!,  So therefore no children died at Sandy Hook!"

State Senator Mallory McMorrow from Royal Oak is fucking awesome! I've had the chance to speak with her and we're friends on Facebook and she's a wonderful human being. I hadn't watched her speech, so thank you for sharing it. Powerful words.

And powerfully delivered. Wow.

I don't know if I want Alex Jones to flip.  It depends on who he flips on.  I don't want him getting immunity unless he flips on someone worse than him and there aren't a lot of choices there.

If Stabenow retires, there will be a lot of competition. The competition I see now is Gretchen Whitmer, Mike Duggan, Karen McDonald, Haley Stevens, and Dan Kilde.

Of course the normal COA is to go for the US House not the Senate from state politics.  I was being irrationally exuberant.   I will say that Michigan Dems have no shortage of smoke show ladies right now.

I could see the feds telling him to pound sand. Same with a ratfucker like Stone. They aren't reliable.

I realize this is Virginia and very far Trumpwest part of the state at that, but this needs to be shared as to the current state of the Republican Party. I guarantee it's happening all over the country

Lordy. Receipts.

The GOP will win back the House in all likelihood. But Kevin McCarthy will never be Speaker.

The man is everything that is wrong with politics. What a piece of suet.

As per usual, the costs of the Culture War will be passed onto the taxpayer.

So even when Disney gets penalized by the state, they still come out over a billion dollars ahead.

That’s Peak American Capitalism right there.

I went to college in Florida and ended up in an internship at Disney World. They came to my school and put on a presentation about their college program. They sold it as if college students would be working in the executive offices of Disney World. They even called it an executive internship. I spoke with my academic advisor who said she had a few students do the program and it was great and they loved it. I was like sure and applied. Went through the interview process and got accepted. 

When I arrive at Disney World it wasn't at all what I was sold. It turns out I was working in the Magic Kingdom at the confectionary. I was basically a cashier. I quickly realized the internship was nothing more than a scam to get cheap labor as we were all being paid $7.25 an hour under the guise it was a learning experience. We were really resented by the full time staff as we were keeping their wages low. I also got the sense that Disney wasn't the most popular in Orlando. It had the reputation at that time of a Walmart. Large corporation that pays it's employees little. A lot of the employees who worked at Disney were at or near poverty. There were a lot of Hispanic workers which I would imagine is typical in Central Florida. Many couldn't speak English yet were there to try to train me on the job. I don't think there is going to be the blowback as many expect. This was nearly 20 years ago so attitudes in and around Orlando could have changed towards Disney. I really have no sympathy what happens to Disney. I saw the underbelly of the beast but what the state is doing to retaliate and censor and cancel Disney is just shocking and appalling. As much as I do not like Disney, I'm with them on this one.

We can choose sides between them, although they're the ones dividing us up by lots between them.

Can blue states now pass punitive actions on Hobby Lobby? 

[CMRivdogs]

They need to apply the same rules to areas like The Villages. Tax those damn golf carts.
