Obviously the taser system is a dismal failure.
Maybe have the tasers as rifle size, and not on a cop's person.

heh

What religion bans the use of vaccines? Time for an enlightenment?

Church of Christ, Scientist. That is about it.

I know where you wanted this to go, but as with many things, you were wrong from the start.

Happy Holidays.

Good will toward men, Luee.

And on into the Fairfield Attorney's office, to say the least.

It is a wonder this Doe is still alive and perhaps Wolf, as well.

This was great.  Passed along.

Some sort of good news for Xmas.

.  Just in the past few days, the conventional wisdom on redistricting has undergone a dramatic shift. The most informed redistricting experts now say it appears that this process will look more like a wash, or even that Democrats might gain a few seats.

How did this happen? Here are the key factors:

Republicans had already gerrymandered so aggressively in the post-2010 redistricting that they had limited room to add to their advantage.
In the relatively small number of states where they had the opportunity, Democrats are gerrymandering with equal vigor.
In some places, Republicans opted to consolidate their current position rather than take a riskier path that might expand their seats.
Independent redistricting commissions wound up not hurting Democrats in the way some feared they would...

Optimistic.  I like the parallels.  Though I think the real good news is how redistricting is not going to be the Red Wave generator some were thinking a while back.

Nobody predicted a red wave generator.
And redistricting has nothing to do with voter moods of the present. (See Virginia for example in 2021)
Nor can redistricting replace the wave of democrat retirements now exceeding 20 in the House.
Nor can redistricting mask the problems of a party at war with itself.
