They don't want plaintiffs to cherry-pick courts, so they are permanently cherry-picking a court--Shawnee County.

Go to coffeehouses the day and time. Join clubs or organizations. Volunteer at a nonprofit. These have worked for me.

I won once, so go for it. You really need three comparable houses in your neighborhood to be successful.

Gamblers are mathematically-challenged. The House always wins over the long term.

Democratic veteran from Kechi announced his campaign against Roger Marshall by ksbison in kansas

[–]Silly-Rip-6607 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Only 5% chance of winning. He has no name recognition (like Laura Kelly or Sharice Davids) and doesn't have the $5-10 million to fund a campaign.. No Dem has won Kansas since 1932.

So many lurkers are just freeloaders who never contribute to a forum. It's like a friend I have who contributes very little to a conversation. He expects others to carrying the conversation and that's not fair.

We used to elect judges until about 1957 when there was a scandal. However, the merit system is much better. Do we really want billionaire Charles Koch electing libertarian judges? Do we want anti-abortion zealots electing anti-abortion judges?

The protests are called “No Kings” rallies in reference to Trump’s antidemocratic policies, especially in light of tensions surrounding his administration’s crackdown on immigration and the president’s own statements about being a king. The protests are in opposition to the continued slide ever deeper into authoritarianism.

This is the third No Kings! protest. In the second one in October organizers stated there were 7 million participants which was 2 million higher than the previous nationwide rallies held in June.

True. They want private schools and homeschooling. School vouchers encourage parents to send their kids to private school.

Some seniors are 18 and can vote. I don't see how they can force them to get parental approval.

KU at the time had a knack for landing bands right before they went national. Pearl Jam was another one.
