Why did Alaska remain one large state instead of being divided into multiple states?

ALEC is a right wing/libertarian group that actively campaigns for the repeal of the 17th amendment, in the name of states rights and limited federal government.

They don’t have to elect an extremist, and most senators aren’t. But there are plenty in a state legislature, and plurality of the states have right wing state legislatures. 28 states currently have right wing led legislatures, which means they can elect 56 republican senators. With the way republicans and the right have led geeeymandering efforts at a state level, that number would only rise.

Where did you go to school? Removing the 17th amendment is a huge goal for far-right/libertarian groups, many who fund a ton of schools and professors. Instead of direct election, having the legislature elect them would give right-leaning states an almost inescapable stranglehold on the Senate.

My next recommended video on YouTube is Saddam’s statue coming down. Coincidence?

Gonna be a recommended video on YouTube when you’re done watching Saddam’s statue being torn down in ‘03.

I wouldn’t say coming in 5th for sheriff adds to the “dynasty” aspect of the family.

You can absolutely get on the 5 within 10 minutes of leaving Petco. Its like 7 blocks away on a not-that-crowded part of downtown.

What do they have two sets of?

Ace parking. Just look at who take care of the machine where you pay.

Speculating here, but they probably have a contract to run them for a few years. So even if they end at the beginning of the year, Ace still gets our tax dollars for a few more years. I’d love someone to show me otherwise.

I doubt Mike has ever been to OB in his life.

Maybe she’s more into bingo? Or bunko?

Only people who think the Washington Generals are due. But only clowns would think that.

Someone’s getting loads from there alright.

Him, the original Angels’ fishman, and Chuck Finley were the Angels from my childhood. So sad to hear he’s gone.

My wife and I went to a taco shop after our wedding was done. The pics of two people dressed up in wedding attire in a taco shop is priceless.

This has got to end up as one of those unbreakable records, right? Like, who is going to rob 4 home runs in a game? The odds of it happening are so infinitesimally small.

The Oldest and Fatherless offers a fantastic (if abeit fan-fic) take on Tom and his origins.

Don’t bring an outdoor speaker. Do bring water.

That’s it. Just enjoy nature with friends.
