Somewhere this morning I read that every candidate Obama campaigned for lost, but I don't know if that's fake news.

And no, it wasn't a fwd: fwd: fwd, so save your energy.

Sessions resigned.  Does he become Alabama Senator or Head Klansman first?

[mtangelsfan]

Man, this is the most yk has been in the spin forum for a long time.

 

There must be no amber alerts or firefighter benefits at this time.

If he runs the klan like he ran the AG's office they won't be doing shit for at least 2 years.

I would have never even have dropped by but Blarg or someone tagged me on something yesterday here.   Just like Baker's Square, I came for the dinner, stayed for the pie.

Honestly, I think the way the left handled the Kavanaugh stuff is having some negative push back on them. 

not too much in dear old california, where we re-elected senator frankenstein.

EDIT: stupid autocorrect.

Do you know how google works?

I literally typed "who did obama campaign for?" and Tim Kaine was the first five entries

 

I was too busy watching my stocks soar. That's why I asked if it were true. Thanks for answering!

The "Yes on 6" crowd should have actually put money behind it. It saw so many emotionally manipulative ads from the "No on 6" camp.

spot on. there should have been a massive response to all of those "but the potholes and bridges!" ads, but there was complete silence.

meanwhile, our gas prices go up, our car registration fees continue to climb, and the liars who rammed this bill through the state legislature will have more monopoly money to misuse.

why on earth would anyone vote FOR a tax increase??? the idiots in glendale did the same thing, passing measure S which raises sales tax .34 of a cent so we can raise money to pay into calpers and balance our budget. not a single call for the city to reform spending. meanwhile, the number of gigantic apartment complexes is reproducing at a rate that makes rabbits envious.

we are positively crappy in california when it comes to holding our legislators accountable for how our money is spent. absolutely crappy.

@Vegas Halo Fan this is too damn funny. In Chicago they have dead people voting but in Nevada they have dead people winning office.

Dennis Hof, a Nevada brothel owner and reality TV star who died last month, won an election for Nevada's 36th Assembly District Tuesday night, the Nevada Secretary of State's office said.

Hof, who ran as a Republican, defeated Democratic challenger Lesia Romanov by more than 7,000 votes, the office said.

how bad a candidate are you when you can't even beat a dead guy?

The lines to vote in Norwalk and Santa Ana last night were insane at 8:00 pm last night.  

 

I don't recall seeing anything like that in any election.

ditto. the line at norwalk was still an hour long at 11:00 pm.

that ought to be reason enough to vote by absentee next time for everyone who had to wait 4+ hours last night.

wonder how nate's friend is doing...

I think in general that people want new faces.  I get that he may be popular with libs but I don't think he sways any undecided voters

it's the eternal optomist in many of us hoping that THIS time, they won't be as partisan as the previous office holder.

If not a forwarded e-mail, I'm curious which pulitzer-worthy source this info came from.

[yk9001]

What kind of bonehead did Trump pick to replace Sessions?  Is he a god-squad, holy bible guy?  neo-nazi cross burning guy?  Or just an all around shithead that Trump associates with, like an Elliott Broidy?

[mtangelsfan]

Nobody yet, but the acting AG was a critic of the Mueller investigation.  I don't have much hope in a good pick.

Glad Prop 10 didn’t pass. Crazy people love the high gas prices

[yk9001]

Prop 5 was totally stoopid.  Why on earth should old people (over 55) get a property tax break?  F them.

Insane that we didn't repeal that idiotic gas tax.

Most people didn't realize they were voting for tax increase. They thought Prop 6 literally took money away from maintaining the safety of roads, not realizing that it had to do with taxes.

When Brown passed the gas tax he said people could afford it.  On the way in to work this morning one of the radio stations was talking about how someone who contacted their show said people living here should be okay paying the added gas tax because we get to live in CA.  I know that's just one person but considering the proposition to repeal didn't pass I'm going to assume there's a lot of people who feel that way or don't pay attention to the fact that the major supporters of keeping the gas tax do so because it benefits their livelihood and their pensions.  Most of these same people will vilify the "rich" who don't pay their fair share and likely voted to raise taxes on people making over 250K in 2012.  Eventually they'll probably vote to raise taxes on people making 100K a year rather than holding our elected officials responsible.  Personally I don't vote any way that will give our elected officials more money to mismanage.

I guess you would have to ask underthehalo that question.  Although he's been absent since Monday.
