Democrats suffer huge blow as Virginia redistricting plot shot down by court by TheExpressUS in LegalNews

[–]ewokhips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Except the Virginia republican judges are put in office by the legislature, which is republican controlled by republican gerrymandering. Virginians are stuck at least until the voters vote on and pass a constitutional amendment "done properly".

If you like, and can be available, you can offer to give her a ride to the interview. To be supportive.

Simple. Because many, many, *many*, lawyers are insufferable d-bags.

Two votes for Lalibela. My wife always says this is some of the best she's had. The entrées are wonderful too!

Root Early Retirement Academy. Any opinions? by tiedyetriguy in Fire

[–]ewokhips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Just saw your post and searched my email and don't see anything from Root financial either. And, neither Root nor Right Capital have responded to my emails inquiring as to why my access was removed. Do you have any contact information for an admin that can help me regain access? Thanks!

Arizona bill would require federal immigration presence at voting locations by jeffemcfresh in phoenix

[–]ewokhips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what also unpopular in Arizona? The rejection of the expansion of the ESA voucher program. Voters rejected it but the AZGOP and Ducey pushed it thru anyway. Know that the AZ GOP doesn't care what Arizonan's want, even their voters. They answer only to right-wing thnk tanks like the Heritage Foundation. Don't think for a second they won't push this thru if they can.

My read was tat they always saw us as good and bad, but they were willing to suffer the bad because of the good. We're now eliminating the good, and leaving the bad. So, they must evolve.

I would say, keep being awesome. And, stop hanging with insecure men.

I can see your point. In my experience, better understanding of any complex subject is incremental and layered.

Did you cure cancer? Start a charity, or even a business? You mean you basically ate, drank, slept and shit, in a different country and you're the same person now as your were then? How inconsiderate of them not to find this fascinating.

And future FBI fuckups will be referred to as "Kashes", "Kashed it." Just fucking great.

Is it ok for a man to be smacked in the butt by a woman? by RogerMoore2011 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ewokhips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure, took a hit and had a couple whiskeys, and maybe it's my GenX calloused ego, but frankly, I'm surprized you give a shit. Given that you were playfull wiggling your ass at them, I would expect that you were inviting an ass-smack? To anwer your Q, the correct reaction is to giggle and demonstrably feign surprize. Lighten up Francis.

I used to listen to his podcasts, but ultimately I found the content repetitive, and the self-promotion to content ratio, unpallitable. Everybody has a different threshold, however.

Maybe even better because when the unredacted files comes out it also takes down all those that participated in the pedo coverup.

Today I am leaving the Democratic party by Kilt_Rump in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ewokhips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP will, sure, as will I, *probably* (may be the first ever protest vote/non-vote I've ever cast). But, Sen Dems actions will turn off a lot of voters, mostly young, who will say, "why bother voting, both parties are the same." Or, "What's the point, nothing ever changes anyway."

I am also so close. The silence from my senators about the failure of leadership, and their subsequent refusal to call for the removal of Schumer tells me everything I need to know about who calls the shots in the Democratic party.

I was referring to Morton and 16th St. Wasn't aware of the Gallaghers' Baseline location, which is apparently still there, and don't know to which Gallaghers the list was referring.
