The ballot contains two separate questions: first, yes or no on the recall, and then, in case a majority votes to recall Newsom, a ballot that does not include the governor’s name but does include 46 others. If less than 50% vote no on the recall he loses. His replacement might be:

Chauncey "Slim" Killens (R) Retired Correctional Officer
Angelyne (No last name, No Party Preference) Entertainer
Nickolas Wildstar (R) Musician/Entrepreneur/Father
Jacqueline McGowan (D) Cannabis Policy Advisor

Or any one of 42 other candidates (including a Kardashian).

Should we make some bets?

Yeah, I bet if the big one actually happens in California, less and less of us will care.

If it happens we will spend money and time and effort to help those in need.

Have to say the recall law in CA is screwed up.

Texas ban spotlights Democrats’ generational divide on abortion and trans issues

Alright, this shit is just silly. Abortion is a trans issue now? What are we even doing here? I get that trans people can get pregnant, but do we really need to name every tree in the forest on every issue, or can we just step back and take a look at the forest sometimes?

Politico does this shit all the time. So does WaPo opinions. It's like they can't afford real writers so they hire some 21 year old gender fluid womyn's studies major out of Smith (or something) to write the opinion pages... and that shit muddies up the message. Ya, god bless you and your fight for trans rights... but that issue has nothing to do with anything right of Ru Paul, leave it where it should be.
It's like ESPN telling us how the playoff race affects trans fans or something.

Alpena high school closed yesterday. Apparently a group of really smart kids decided to parade through the school with their confederate flag shirts and memorabilia in support of a friend from a social media dispute. Police were called one kid got frisky and an altercation occurred with police. Then a threat was supposedly made on social media. Mercia.

One of my best friends from high school- his entire family had traveled down that road. His 2 brothers are proud boy members and lovely enough manufacturer bullets in Wixom.

He hasn't talked to them in 6 years. He was warning me about this for a while. I should have taken him more seriously.

My Proud boys story....

3-4 weeks ago I was working at my office in downtown lansing and there was 6-8 Proud Boys on rental scooters driving in circles doing their best Shriner imitation in the walkway between the Capitol and Supreme Court... Obvious biker white trash, handful where probably on some sort of spectrum too.

Total buffoons (with weapons of course).

Anyone figured out why people who wear still have Trump flags flying, wear MAGA hats or proclaim themselves as Proud Boys think their vaccination status is no one else's business but we all need to know who they voted for?

how can I hope your "car explodes on the way in”" be taken out of context?

I thought burning them at the stake was the preferred right to lifers choice to take someone's life, or did blowing people up replace it in their last MAGA meeting? Or is that method just reserved for Governors and Attorney Generals?

we've become numb to it, but it's absolutely mind-boggling how the modern GOP has given themselves permission to be the worst version of a human they can possibly be. They honestly celebrate it. It's a badge of honor.

and it's all because they hated the fact that America elected Barack Obama.. twice.

So the rags to riches story of “Rich Strike” has taken a turn. He will not run in the Preakness. It looks like the owner is a Sebastian Gorka fan. Tweeted misogynistic crap about Kamala Harris quoting Gorka, jockey Sonny Leon has been suspended three times since fall for aggressive riding and intentionally causing harm to a horse with his whip. When confronted on outside the lines on espn about the tweet he basically refused to answer and subsequently changed his account to private. I’m guessing he was asked to reconsider his entry into the Preakness…..

that's the one white jesus-y kid that Guest loved.

can't imagine who raises kids like this. My parents, I reckon, were kind of old-fashioned, but they would've beaten me to death if I had behaved like that on a school trip. Or any trip.
