The TXGOP had Initiatives and Referendums on their plank up until they took control of the Lege and Governership. Then they quietly dropped it. If the day comes in the far, far future where the Democrats once again rule Texas, you can bet it will make a return. It will be a cold day in hell when the state government gives up that much control, no matter which party is in power. Which the article does say, to be fair.

Basically, unless you have enough money, Texas is where you come to be ruled over, not to rule.

Thank fuck that one failed. I think the backlash against all the aging politicians put the nails in the coffin of that one. I think something both sides can agree on is fuck these dinosaurs who can barely function sometimes.

So doing the same thing Trump was rightly criticized for. Gotcha.

The Senate is not filibuster proof, so making a change like adding Supreme Court seats would never fly. Speaking of that, with the razor slim majority the Dems have there, taking a hard tack against Sinema and Manchin would have been like arguing with a shotgun whose trigger had been pulled not to blow your head off. Or do you think Sinema and Manchin are idiots who didn't know they could get their bread buttered from either side of the aisle and still come out smelling like roses? Those two held all the power and they knew it.

I could be wrong, but I believe Epic or Sweeney threw something like that around about Steam's pricing model. Or maybe it was just an Internet thing. Regardless, the idea floated was that the only reason Steam took such a cut was it's monopolistic powers. What I believe jaden is trying to say is that that line of reasoning is being shown to be bullshit and that Steam takes that much so it can be profitable.

How? What, exactly, are they not doing? They lack control of Congress and the Supreme Court. Anything Biden tries that would limit it would wind up struct down by the Federal courts. At least that's my view, so please, by all means, explain to me how the Democrats are doing nothing and are complicit.

Oh boy. Brace yourself for addicts shooting up all kinds of poison that smack is going to get cut with to stretch the supply.

In groups and out groups, as always.

As far as the GOP is concerned there's only one amendment, and that's the second. And that's only because they know the military could roll over all their tacticool cosplaying supporters who think owning a single AR-15 somehow puts them on the same level as the entire US military.

Stick to what comes naturally?

That's the point. Every lower middle class on down person with brown skin will be a target of this. It will absolutely result in police profiling. GOP doesn't care, core Republican voters here are all bigots anyways and are cheering this shit on.

Honestly, release dates are more akin to putting it early access than an actual release nowadays.

Now? NYT has been this way for years. Also, there exists addons to bypass paywalls. I use https://github.com/iamadamdev?tab=repositories on Chrome and Firefox. On mobile I use Chrome with javascript turned off for paywalled sites. Any addon/extension that allows you to easily turn off javascript will kill paywalls.
