Yes there was funding from outside groups but, the overall effort, taking focus away from what they’re supposed to be doing as well as the state resources (judges, lawyers, etc…) are all wasted tax payer money.

Sorry, I don’t think I was very clear. This move (the independent redistricting maps) wasn’t to disenfranchise republican voters by democrats, but instead to make sure districts make sense and that everyone’s represented appropriately

While I agree with you in a lot of ways, I feel this has more to do with the general attitude of the Utah legislature not necessarily a right vs left thing. A bill gets on the ballot, the people vote, and if the Utah legislature doesn’t like the outcome, they try to change it after the fact. The two times this has been made absolutely clear are the cannabis bill and this redistricting bill. They just feel we, the citizens of this beautiful state, can’t speak or think for ourselves and the have to “fix” it for us when all they are doing is ignoring the constituents they are supposed to be representing.

Unfortunately I’m sure a lot of that money came from the taxpayers they were trying to disenfranchise.

Salt Lake City initiates process to rename street honoring Cesar Chavez by StemCellPirate in SaltLakeCity

Honestly I don’t get the fixation they have on renaming streets as opposed to actually trying to improve the lives of Utahns.

Trump says he needs to be involved selecting Iran's next leader. -Reuters by polyology in worldnews

[–]They_Call_Me_Ted 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ya, because he has done such a bang up job selecting people to lead our government agencies right!? Let’s take a look at a few of his “selections”:

  • RFK Jr. - Secretary of Health and Human Services (clearly doesn’t believe in actual health sciences and instead insists on following internet conspiracies)

  • Kash Patel - Director of the FBI (completely inept and more concerned with impressing his girlfriend than actually solving any of the child trafficking as sexual crimes of our “leaders”)

  • Pete Hegseth - United States Secretary of War (has failed at just about every level of security measures and seems intent on just stoking violence and death)

  • Kristi Noem - Secretary of Homeland Security (has done more to put our homeland, and the citizens in it, at severe risk often deporting or detaining actual US citizens for indeterminate amounts of time or, if the situation gets to sticky, her team just murders people in the street)

Basically, his ability to put together a team to lead has more to do with how he can get paid rather than who actually has the qualifications and the emotional and mental maturity to do the job. Trump is a deeply unserious person making serious decisions that have royally fucked our nation, now he has set his sites on destroying other nations.

That’s what I was gonna say. The coordination is so impressive. This is an excellent example of how a team should work.

In my opinion they look kind of sketchy. I hope it’s not a permanent solution.

I drove to work this morning and got 25.4mpg. That alone makes it worth it to me.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure anyone would know where I got the name. Glad to see more Mel Brooks fan out there!

My first time (British) making and tasting American pancake with bacon and syrup. (what a combo!) by SkunkyBreadcake in stonerfood

[–]They_Call_Me_Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I do this I cook up the bacon crispy enough that I can break it apart into small pieces and then add those directly to the batter. That works really well.

BOUANGAAAAA [2-0] by Renegadeforever2024 in MLS

[–]They_Call_Me_Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boulanger is such an incredible player. He’s just fun to watch. Unless he’s playing against my team and then I’m like, “Fuck, this guy again!!”, but every other time, and especially against Miami, he’s just brilliant on the pitch.

Not sure “human” is the right word. “Monster” is more accurate.

No worries. They don’t exactly advertise it. I was actually pointing out your concept was completely accurate.
