It always blows me away when we go to Europe how beautifully the girls in their 20s dress. Simple, inexpensive stuff, but with some thought. It's basically the US in the 50s and 60s.

Teens and guys are slobs same as us, though.

Disagree on the guys part. In an office setting it was always very well-dressed. Certainly if you didn't have to go out onto the plant floor. And going out, almost always pretty well-dressed. Save for tourist hell holes like Hofbrau Haus. The Germans who did go there were.... about as expected.

I don't mean at work, I mean just fucking around, going out to the store, etc. The local market streets in France and Italy -- city and rural -- are heaven.

Then you go to the tourist areas and everybody's a pig -- visitors and hosts. Americans are not the worst, though. That's the Australians, who are like what if you made a creature with Texas intelligence, Wisconsin alcoholism, and Massachusetts obnoxiousness.

We're not the most entitled, either. That's the Chinese (though I have never experienced Saudis, Emirati, et al.)

China learned entitlement from years of observing America's wealth gap. Republicans will never agree with or admit this, but they have a lot more in common with the CCP than they think. They ought to be taking notes from Beijing on how to run the racially supremacist, corporatist, jingoist, surveillance state of their wet dreams.
 
“The Republican-controlled State Legislature in Arizona voted to revoke the Democratic secretary of state’s legal authority in election-related lawsuits, handing that power instead to the Republican attorney general.”

both sides, rabble rabble
 
It will depend...they don't need to let GA prison rape Black voters to keep the Plutocracy intact and the arguments he is making are pretty good. Plus whenever the GOP mouths off when they pull this stuff it ends up biting them in the butt and that will certainly be part of the GA argument (Trump trying to influence the count) and AZ. (GOPer said the point is literally to give them the best chance to win) It is one thing to try and screw with the rules; it is another to tell everyone you are doing it, tell them why and challenge them to stop it. Courts shot down Voter ID laws because the GOP did the same thing.

Honestly though I think if a lower court sides with the DOJ the SC might just punt on it like they have with a lot of this crap. I don't see Roberts wanting them on record about this.

Exactly. Courts generally don't like their intelligence insulted.
 
NYC is really screwing up this mayoral primary.

First they released preliminary info, which only included in-person votes. I guess it can help decipher patterns and see how much in-person differs from absentee, but you can’t just tack later votes on in RCV, everything needs to be in to begin the process. It’s like posting the final stats of a football game, but really there are plays being added to previous possessions that will affect the final score.

Second, and even worse, it turns out they had 130k votes of test data in their official tabulations that they’re now going back to fix.
