oops, put this in the Sixers thread originally:

Governor Wolf created a commission to find a fair way to redistrict. The PA GOP says it's all theater.

Look at this partisan, unserious crop:

Lee Ann Banaszak, Penn State University
Dr. Damary Bonilla-Rodriguez, Governor’s Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs
Susan Carty, President, League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania
Kathy Dahlkemper, Erie County Executive
Charlie Dent, Former Congressman
Amanda Holt, Lehigh County Commissioner
Rev. Robert Johnson, Tindley Temple United Methodist Church
Sharmain Matlock-Turner, President, Urban Affairs Coalition
Wes Pegden, Carnegie Mellon University
David Thornburgh, President and CEO, Committee of Seventy
Secretary of the Commonwealth or designee


in a saner version of Pennsylvania, Wolf would be a Republican and we'd have a real General Assembly willing to govern.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke harshly attacked Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., who is set to lead the House Natural Resources Committee next Congress, accusing him Friday of alcoholism and calling on him to resign from Congress.

“It’s hard for him to think straight from the bottom of the bottle,” Zinke said in a statement he posted to Twitter. “This is coming from a man who used nearly $50,000 in tax dollars as hush money to cover up his drunken and hostile behavior. He should resign and pay back the taxpayer for the hush money and tens of thousands of dollars he forced my department to spend investigation unfounded allegations.”

What was that about bullying, Melania?



What exactly did Grijalva do?

From Vox:

"The interior secretary appears to be referencing a case in 2015, when Grijalva arranged a “severance package” of more than $48,000 for a top female aide who allegedly threatened to sue him for being intoxicated and creating a hostile work environment. The case was reported by the Washington Times in 2017".

“On the advice of House Employment Counsel, I provided a severance package to a former employee who resigned. The severance did not involve the Office of Compliance and at no time was any allegation of sexual harassment made, and no sexual harassment occurred,” Grijalva told the Washington Times in 2017.

I wonder if Zinke has ever heard of Stormy Daniels and/or Karen McDougal?

As to the answer to the question that foreigner Grijalva taking a job of a 'good american', he said Zinke should resign.

DC clerk and his advisor refused to issue a marriage license because they did not believe New Mexico is a US state. Poor guy had to pepper them with state trivia as proof.

Some choice bits:

I'm sorry, my supervisor says we can't accept international driver's licenses,'"

At one point, the clerk also complimented him on his English, he said, noting that his now-wife, who is an immigrant, thought it was hilarious.

Sure, voting fraud exists if you're the one that does it!
The State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement has collected at least six sworn statements from voters in rural Bladen County, near the South Carolina border, who described people coming to their doors and urging them to hand over their absentee ballots, sometimes without filling them out. Others described receiving absentee ballots by mail that they had not requested.

Among the allegations is that an individual who worked for the Harris campaign coordinated an effort to collect and fill in, or discard, the ballots of Democratic voters who might have otherwise voted for McCready. Several of the affidavits come from elderly African American voters. It is illegal to take someone else’s ballot, whether to turn it in or discard it.

The NC 9 thing seems pretty bad actually. Filled in ballots of elderly black people for Republicans.

anyone else think that Trump was participating in the pee pee tape, possibly as the one who was getting peed on?

An Argentinian news outlet has drawn criticism for displaying a picture of Simpsons character Apu while announcing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival in Buenos Aires on Friday for the G-20 summit.


Good news, further evidence that the US has not corner the market on racism.

I hope that AOC hangs out with and learns a lot from Pelosi. I think that AOC has the potential to be really great.
