Have we discussed the bullshit Michigans Republican legislature is pulling? Michigan got enough signatures for ballot initiatives that would increase minimum wage and mandate paid sick leave. Prior to the election, the Republican majority voted to affirm both of these things and keep them off the ballot. AFTER the election, in the lame duck session (before the Republican governor is replaced by the Democratic governor-elect), they start walking back the bill THEY passed.
Whether youre for or against increases in the minimum wage, you have to admit that its fucked up, the way they pulled this shit. --- Inviso's Most Adorabl-est Eeveelution Ever https://imgur.com/SSw6M9E ... Copied to Clipboard!

They are just asking to get locked out of office for the next decade. They are so short-sided that the political attacks ads are just writing themselves at this point. Gonna be hard for Trump as well to say he is good for the economy when the areas that swung in his direction are being devastated by either his bad trade policies or by state gov'ts being vindictive towards their political opposition. --- 3DS FC: 4399-0076-4217 ...

Maybe the answer is to stop having lame duck sessions. Just have the newly elected people take office immediately, instead of waiting until January. Elections always have consequences, but it makes more sense for the 2018 election to matter in December 2018 than the 2014 election (where Walker was reelected), which is still controlling now. Under the current system the 2018 election will count in December 2022, but it probably shouldn't count for more than the 2022 election at that time.

I dont have that much of a problem with normal lame duck legislating, but they certainly shouldnt be changing the distribution of power across offices post-election. Can any of them say with a straight face that they would have been making these changes had the GOP kept the governorship/AG but lost the legislature?

Im sure Evers (and the AG, whose name I forget) will sue (and might ultimately prevail), but even if the GOP can only take away those powers for six months or a year or whatever thats still a pretty significant win for them.

Cant the wisconsin supreme court do something about the power grab? Didnt north carolina do this and the courts struck it down? NC Courts have been striking down a lot of it, yes. Don't think it's been fully resolved yet. A possible key difference though. NC Supreme Court has a 4-3 Democratic majority (will be 5-2 once a justice elected in the midterms takes their seat I think).

I can only imagine how that conversation went:
"Hey, Rudy. How much do you know about Cybersecurity?" "I can use my cell phone." (He pulls out his Nokia Phone from 1997) "It's from 97' and it still works." "Great! Guy obviously knows cybersecurity. I have to get a new phone like.. every year. That's more often than I get a new wife. And he's had his since 1997. His phone, not his wife just to be clear. Not his cousin wife, or his second wife. His third wife. He's on his third wife, but still on his first phone. Let's make him an advisor on the cyber. I hear he's really good. I'd choose Baron, but he said no." --- Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool." ...
