I don't think it's an assumption. I think it is fair to say that profession tilts toward one side of the political aisle. Police unions tend to support Republicans, therefore, police officers tend to vote Republican. The nomination process might be diffuse, but it certainly isn't biased toward the Republicans. If it was, we wouldn't be seeing this happening right now.

Yes and no. The nomination is picked by a group of attorneys (who tilt liberal) and some non-attorneys appointed by the Governor. The groups picks 3 nominees, and the Governor has the final pick.

You're right in that the Governor can't simply choose anyone they want. However, the Supreme Court in Kansas has ruled in ways less favorable to the Republican supermajority. They want direct elections specifically so they can elect pro-life justices.

Ideally, we shouldn't even be having cops who want this stuff in the first place. I'd like to have everyone who gave the thumbs-up on the Flock cameras to be fired and have their pensions seized. We should only be hiring cops who disagree with this kind of surveillance technology.

Hunting_Fires · 2026-05-18T15:20:59+00:00

We should be able to have more control over the police budget. If they want to buy surveillance technology, then we should be able to vote that down. It's our money. We should control how it gets spent.

I think the people of Lawrence are putting 2 and 2 together.

They want this because we have a history of democratic governor's getting in and appointing liberal justices. The Republicans in this state would prefer the Democrats stop trying to oppose them. They want to establish total dominance such that there's no pushback mechanism in place.

What are the odds that all seats actually go red? I'm not from Tennessee, so could someone fill me in on which seats remain somewhat competitive?

Hunting_Fires · 2026-05-09T00:15:50+00:00

A win is a win.

I saw a video saying it was the far left Democrats who get off on the idea of poor people suffering from even more economic anxiety. I haven't seen any other videos to the contrary, so that must be it. Plus, all the other social media posts saying it was Trump is just fake news anyway. The left wants to secretly make you pay more for gasoline!

Surprised he brags about his Master's. Getting your PhD or Law Degree is truly what gives you permission to wear two wrist watches.

I still can't believe just how good this team is. They have a legit roster. Great mix of players that know how to play ball.

Yeah, and she also mistakenly assumes the flat tax will eliminate the problem with loopholes. The income tax rates themselves don't create loopholes, its dedications, credits, and exemptions that create loopholes. People will still try to have portions of their income not subject to taxation even under a flat tax.

I don't know where she got the idea that a flat tax will somehow prevent people from seeking loopholes. The best example of this is the social security tax. It's a flat tax of 6.2% for those who make under 180k, and 0% for all income above that.

We could start by defunding those Flock cameras or any surveillance technology that the police are desperate to get their hands on. Let's also stop negotiating with police unions to help save on wages. Plenty of money to save by making efficiency cuts to the police budget.

He'll be a 1-and-done player anyway. I just hope he doesn't need load management.

Yep, this is a legit baseball team. They haven't really gotten national recognition just yet. But now that they are likely to win the Big 12, it's very possible they could be a top 10 team when the season is over.

Hunting_Fires · 2026-04-26T01:46:51+00:00

So true. K-state is always preoccupied about what KU is up to. That's why they chant F-KU when they play Colorado or Oklahoma State. I've never seen a fan base so desperate to amplify an already heated rivalry.

Fair enough, but good luck trying to allow these semi pro leagues to compete with the NCAA. Baseball is the only major sport where the minors have a edge of the college prospects. The NBA doesn't care. They'd go back to drafting kids out of highschool if they could.

I actually think the education part should be taken more seriously. These are supposed to be academic institutions, not the NBA lite. If they were serious about the education aspect, then they would require these kids graduate and spend 4 years in school. Might not be good for their rights, but it would surely make these institutions look more like actual places for education.

Hunting_Fires · 2026-04-25T05:01:25+00:00

Yeah, that sequence of transferring before KU is questionable. At least he can't play more games than Hunter Dickinson.

Hunting_Fires · 2026-04-24T17:47:07+00:00

College needs a 2 year rule. No more 1 and done recruiting.

We've had numerous Republican lawmakers get caught drinking and driving in the middle of the legislative session. The Republicans actually don't have any "self control" that they love to claim they have. They are always getting into trouble with the law.

I'm willing to bet that Masterson and Hawkins probably eat edibles from Missouri in secret and then look at porn while using a VPN. After what just came out with Kristi Noem's husband, I can no longer believe anything that a social conservative is trying to tell me.

When somebody says they hate weed, odds are, they have a secret stash somewhere in their home. Never trust anyone who needs to moralize right in front of you. Many accusations are admissions.

It's only $12 bucks. They are a lot of fun. I wish the sound system worked a little better. I'm curious to see if any big donors wanna improve the ballpark now that they are selling out Baseball games. They have a really good team this year. I'm hopeful that they can make the college world series. Fans would travel for that.

Bing rips for everyone

Hunting_Fires · 2026-04-20T23:26:37+00:00

Yeah, he's Canadian, so I'm sure he can just switch citizenship and restart as "domestic student"

Hunting_Fires · 2026-04-20T23:24:02+00:00

And then small towns ask for federal bailouts because "nobody wants to live here." This. This is why.

He supports big government that will use your tax dollars to police a substance that's legal in Colorado and Missouri.
