California Democrats have been denied their supermajority in the state Senate, in a key vote that means Senate Democrats won't hold the two-thirds majority needed to pass tax and fee increases.

Democrats temporarily lost their supermajority in February when a lawmaker accused of sexual misconduct resigned.

They likely would have gotten it back in a special election in August. But then they lost another seat on Tuesday, when voters in an Orange County district recalled Democratic Sen. Josh Newman from office over his vote to raise gas taxes last year.

Former Republican Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang won the seat.

The development comes amid other good news for the GOP in the Golden State on Tuesday. Fox News projects that Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom will move on to the November election in the state's gubernatorial race, taking the top spot in the jungle primary. But Newsom will face Republican businessman John Cox, who surged late in the campaign with the support of President Trump to finish second.

Cox's strong finish over former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democratic institution in Southern California, was something of a win for President Trump...

Isn't California hemorrhaging people due to stupidly high taxes?

Obviously the solution is more taxes.

Well now that we're all here, let's talk about video games. What's everyone playing these days?

I'm currently in a bit of a gap point. Locked down the LEGO Incredibles boundy, and the game comes out in 11 days. In the meantime I'm playing Crypt of the Necrodancer, bits of Star Allies (already beat it), and a little bit of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon.

Funny you say that because I've been playing Fallout 1 and it keeps crashing for no reason ever 10 minutes or so

No crash message or anything, just Bop, game gone, progress lost

Seriously hate it when games do this, is there an error log anywhere in the games data folders or anything? When Berseria used to crash for me it didn't even produce anything like that either. :/

Not knowing the particulars on the individuals I don't care much either way. Supermajorities probably aren't good for the democratic process though so this might* be a good thing, though I'm hesitant to call any GOP success a good thing.

Playing Tales of Berseria

One series I never really got into. I played Symphonia ages ago and liked it, but didn't stick with it through other releases. I hear Berseria is pretty good, though.

Why are you tagging me?

I don't believe I've ever spoken to you, let alone done anything to give you the impression I give a shit about topics like this.

Don't ever tag me again. Not just about state legislatures. Just don't tag me for anything, period.

What a fucking shitty topic. -_-

I believe Allen and the mods would also consider this gross abuse of the tag system, whether it falls under trolling or not.
