Pretty sure the VA Supreme Court has already allowed the initiative (in 2 decisions, or more), and now its passed. Not sure there are any (real) challenges left (?)

So someone made you feel awkward for using a phrase that you had never considered might be offensive. So effing what. Move on with your life

Fuck the NWSL, fuck soccer, fuck the Columbus City Council and mayor who were clearly bought off, and fuck Haslam Sports and everyone else involved in this. Stealing a public park for billionaires to have more toys. Fuck them all.

Ooooh, so he's building a Billionaires' Bunker under the East Wing 'ballroom'.
The crazy seems a little more clear.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Court documents show President Trump knew he was going to tear down the East Wing at least two months before doing so, but he never told the public.

Did not try to verify but...the things we could be doing as a country instead of what we are doing.
Ugh
As our leadership tries to drag us back to the 50s, everyone else (esp China) is bounding into the future

Ah,there it is

This is the most obvious counter argument, IMO. I mean, it's not donations to LE, so maybe that's a difference? But it's plainly a common tactic and one I'd be surprised any actual SPLC donor would be upset about.
Do they have to show actual injury?

How 2 fringe groups and a friendly judge helped pull off Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure Emails obtained by CalMatters trace the development of a years-long case that ultimately led to the unprecedented seizure of 650,000 ballots.

Anat Rubin and I co-wrote a story for @calmatters.org about the people behind Sheriff Chad Bianco's "election investigation" -- sovereign citizens, Christian nationalists, and "constitutional sheriffs."

Her latest NPR interview, she gushed about how the Federal Society was just a big ole fun social club. She met her husband through it! And her neighbors met each other through it! And its just so collegial and just a social club and nothing untoward, no agenda, just fun!
Yeah. Ok.

The association they so desperately try to make happen

Not by coincidence, "white supremacists are the Republicans Party's constituents and they don't want it pointed out" is the real reason why those of us who study and teach it are losing our jobs.

Thanks!

So that's all very helpful for my own future upgrades. I'll continue keep an eye out for web sources and such that have current function and capacities to counter the outdated grump complaints ;)

Thanks! I mean more in general conversations or things like NextDoor, uh, discussions. All the grumps for anything 'green' cite decade-old stats ('heat pumps don't work below freezing', 'EVs only get 100 miles per charge') so it's good to have stats and references to update that outdated stuff.

That is a bold (lol!) move in the days when the GOP brand is so utterly corrupted. And of course, not like he was a functional democrat for the last 20 years anyway.

Local pro-oil groups (and general grumps) loudly bash heat pumps for inability to provide heat when it's freezing, or below, outside without engaging resistance coils, which does drive up electric bills a lot.
What's are some good counter-points/resources?

What?

are any america-first conservatives not funded from overseas

Uh oh, war news is bad, stocks are down, time for premarket softie interview, we're winning bigly and getting all we want. Time to buy oil stonks, sell before close tho.

Is that how it works?

As soon as they relaxed rules on who could register .org and especially .edu, I figured it was a corrupted road

The biggest betrayal of my life is what these assholes did with the internet.

Looking forward to the dope smoking Dem administration so very much in 2028

How could they possibly justify any more $$ for ICE. What, they burn through the bajillions they already got on fuck jets, booze, warehouses, and car rentals already?

Oh, careful there man...it'll come on fast then it'll all go away forever ;)
