@MrDanZak 10 flushes seems excessive. I’d personally stop after 2 or 3 and find a different way to get rid of Eric and Don Jr.

TOP Canadian politician Elizabeth May suggested the three west coast states of California, Oregon and Washington would be better off becoming part of the Great White North.

She said they would benefit from universal healthcare and stricter gun laws if they chose to secede.

@nihilists4jesus We have @SenMikeLee and we keep voting for him and Cheeto Jesus. No we are not okay.

Stephen A. Smith to Hannity: "I know you're not talking about someone being lucid and cogent and enunciating their thoughts with clarity and you're bragging about Donald Trump. We can't be watching the same stuff if that's what you're doing!"

OMG! Kamala Harris just DESTROYED a pair of hecklers.

“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

@BreannaMorello Hon, it's interest. American taxpayers don't pay for it. The loans are discharged. It would be like if you ran up a credit card buying Let's Go Brandon merch, failed to pay, and the credit card company discharged your loans. The rest of us don't get a bill. Hope that helps.

Gov. Walz: We just found out Trump had his branded Bibles printed in China. This dude will even outsource God. But hey, I don’t blame Trump for not noticing the ‘Made in China’ sticker. They put them on the inside, a part of the Bible that he’s never looked at

Undecided Michigan voter: I’ve decided I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris. When they were talking about January 6, JD Vance would not give a definitive answer on whether he would certify the election should Trump lose. I don't know I can trust someone with my vote if they aren't going to respect it

Those loud booms you’ve been hearing across the Salt Lake Valley have been Utah’s checks and balances being demolished by the legislative supermajority.

This is a perfect analogy of why Trump supporters are severely lacking in character. 🙌🙏👏👊🌊🇺🇸

I’m still laughing at this.

Trump asks of the crowd knows who Latin music superstar Nicky Jam is. “She’s hot.”

Nicky Jam is a MAN. RT if you agree Trump is showing evidence of cognitive decline!!

Here’s the real reason Trump wants us to spend the week chasing rumors about people eating cats.

Well done, @MeidasTouch. 👏👏

If you're just catching up on the amendment D stuff, here's a quick overview:

1. In 2018 Utahns voted via ballot initiative to establish an independent restricting commission, which recommended maps to the legislature.

2. In 2021, the legislature ignored those and adopted heavily gerrymandered maps instead.

3. In 2022 the original proponents of the ballot initiative sued the legislature.

4. In July of this year the Utah Supreme Court ruled against the legislature, arguing that they didn't have the right to ignore the substance of the ballot initiative in the way that they did.

5. The legislature drafted a constitutional amendment to give them the right to ignore or change ballot initiatives in a much broader set of circumstances.

Amendment D is worded in such a way as to mislead voters into thinking it protects against this kind of legislative overreach, when in fact it does the opposite.

I believe the current balance of power between direct voter initiatives and the legislature is healthy, and don't think we should shift more power from the voters to the legislature.

Because of that I'll be voting against Amendment D.

I’ve had a nagging feeling over the past several years that there’s an important aspect to evangelical church culture in the United States that’s been consistently overlooked, or simply unknown to most of the public.
