They are not going to make anyone pay for anything if only 27% shows up to vote. In all honesty Gen Z’s attitude should be we are as mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore. Or action speaks louder than words.

Missouri... Yuck. The Springfield News-Leader reports that Moon made the remarks during a contentious debate over banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors in which Democratic State Rep. Peter Meredith accused him of hypocrisy for supporting the bill despite positioning himself as a champion of parents' rights. I've heard you talk about parents' rights to raise their kids how they want," argued Meredith. "In fact, I just double-checked, you voted no on making it illegal for kids to be married to adults at the age of 12 if their parents consented to it!" Meredith went on to accuse Moon of making it legal for a 12-year-old to be "raped by an adult" as long as their parents agreed to let it occur, which prompted an angry response from Moon. Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12?" he asked Meredith. "I do. And guess what? They're still married." As the News-Leader notes, "Moon's support of child marriage in some instances has been long documented," as in the past he has discussed "a couple he met in college who had married one another at age 12."A www.rawstory.com/missouri-republican-child-marriage/ |

From the article…
“Defendant breached his fiduciary duties owed to Plaintiff by virtue of their attorney-client relationship by both revealing Plaintiff's confidences, and spreading falsehoods about Plaintiff, likely to be embarrassing or detrimental, and partook in other misconduct," the lawsuit said.”

Repeating this again. 1. Every generation starting with boomers has a low voter participation rate when they are 18-24 years old. Young voters are not more apathetic than older generations. 2. You can criticize younger people for not voting at higher rates, but their votes do matter. Young people helped deliver victories for Democrats in the 2018 midterms, Biden in 2020 and the 2022 midterms. 3. Youth voting is on the rise and breaking records 4. If youth voting was lower, like 25% for boomers when they were the same age, Biden could have lost, Democrats might have lost the Senate in 2018 and Democrats might have lost the House by a bigger margin. 5. Republicans are worried, that's why many of their voter suppression efforts are targeted at college students and young voters. 6. Young people face very real obstacles to voting. 7. Democratic voters of all ages in deep red states face the very real problem of feeling their vote doesn't count, their vote will not matter or change anything. 8. Gen Z is more likely to show their activism through boycotts, where they choose to work, protests etc. My 3 boys are Gen Z and millennials. Trust me, their generation is fired up and mad as hell about gun violence, abortion rights and climate change, in particular. circle.tufts.edu/understanding-youth-civic-engagement/dispelling-myths-about-youth-voting#myth:-youth-voting-has-been-declining-for-decades |

And to be clear I mean a mass that includes Democrats, Republicans and Independents working together and it also means a 27% turnout is not good enough from any age group. The clock is ticking on the democracy of this country and the question is will the voters save it before it’s too late? |

This may no longer be the case... But... those who are a bit older on the east coast have heard the stores for years that Georgia was the place everyone was stopped, particularly from NY&NJ, got ticketed, lead to the 'court' to pay the fine ... So, Georgia didn't treat travelers so well.. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is apparently still bitter about the poor reception she got when she traveled to New York City to protest the criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that Greene once again complained about rude New Yorkers during a town hall event in LaFayette, Georgia on Tuesday, where she also accused Democrats of trying to indoctrinate children into a "transgender" ideology. "We don't treat people that way in the South, do we?" Greene said. "Even if we don't like 'em, we just say, 'Bless their heart.'"www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-2659843013/#cxrecs_sHah, means the same thing as a Brooklyn fuck off. |

Younger voters may not have a high participation rate, but they are overwhelmingly voting for Democrats. You can post as many tweets as you want but I believe the younger generations will actually change things. Just look at the young men from Tennessee or Maxwell Frost. And maybe when politicians start looking like Gen Z and less like 80 year old octogenarians, when Gen Z feels represented, they will vote more. |

And maybe when politicians start looking like Gen Z and less like 80 year old octogenarians, when Gen Z feels represented, they will vote more. First of all I never claimed that newly registered boomer voters turned out to vote in record numbers. What I did say that when I was old enough to vote no one had to motivate or mobilize me to register. I did it because their was a presidential election that year and I wanted to vote in it. As to my “condescending “ attitude toward younger votes I doubt very much many are aware of it on this board. And if they were aware of it would only annoy those who haven’t registered to vote. And in that case who cares. And I’m not or have I made excuses for those who don’t vote. It doesn’t matter their age. Nor am I going to take out the cheerleading pom poms when people get all excited when 27% of a certain age group decides to show up and vote. Especially these days. As far as the boomers voting Republican according to Pew, the silent majority has more GOP learners then the other age groups. The boomers are split with a slight edge to the democrats. This was from a 2018 report. Maybe that number has shifted from 2018 but it was in play during the 2016 election. Age is a factor but nothing is set in stone. I didn’t want Biden to run because of his age but he did and got elected. And he is doing a good job with the tools he was given by the voters. Tools being the number of Democrats the voters gave him for the House and the Senate. Just think of what he could have accomplished if the voters had given him a bigger majority in the House and Senate instead of deliberately voting in such a way that he wouldn’t be another FDR. Of all the dumb reasons to deliberately vote for Republicans candidates for the House and Senate so the Democratic President wouldn’t be the next FDR. I still can’t get over that reason. Biden was the right choice for this time. I saw an article where Biden was called a normal president and I forget what they called trump. And they referred to Obama as a rock star president. But anyway they felt what was needed was a normal president, I think they were right. And as much as I would like to see a President Pete or a President Newsom maybe this country needs another 4 years of a normal president while we figure out what to do about the broken GOP and if it can be fixed. What changes things are those who actually turn up and vote. Regardless of their age. As to those two young men in TN time will tell if they will actually change things. What they did was lead a protest on guns in the state legislature room. But the actions of the Republicans in response is the real story. I mean seriously if the Republicans had ignored the protest would anyone outside of TN known or cared what the three did? Probably not. The only reason they received national attention is because of how the Republicans reacted to it. That’s the story. So the two are getting all this national attention as part of their 15 minutes of fame. I hope they both have a long successful careers in politics if that is what they want. But once again the real story was the Republicans reaction to what the three did that day. Normally when I disagree with someone’s opinion and it’s reached the point where neither side is going to budge I say “we are going to have to agree to disagree” and end the discussion period. But I may have to come up with something that includes the words “condescending” and “lecturing” when I think there is no point in further discussions on that particular topic. Until then, we will have to agree to disagree on this subject. |

Let us take this info a step farther... Moon talks about parents rights, child's can get married at 12 making those decisions.?!?! But women are not able to choose health care as needed?!?! Trans kids and their parents cannot make choices for the child's healthcare..?!? The GOP is truly filled PERVERTS!!! |

She really does need to retire. Problem is three members of the House have “thrown their hat into the ring” to replace her when her term is up. If she retires Newsom will pick a replacement to fill the remainder of her term.
If he picks one of the three that almost guarantees that person will enter the 2024 election with a big lead. Which means the odds the other two winning go way down. One of three is Katie Porter who comes from a very tough district. The only option for her if Feinstein retires and she isn’t picked by Newsom to complete Feinstein’s term is, IMO, for her to drop out of the Senate race and concentrate on winning re-election in her district to minimize the possibility of losing that seat.
That may be the case with Adam Schiff as I don’t know much about his district other than an actor is running for the seat.
It is a problem if she retires but a bigger problem if she doesn’t. IMO.

we have been speculating since it happened that the murder of bob lee was not a random thing.. the area is basically deserted in the middle of the night.. no clubs, no stores, just residential. and he was known as a party guy and was not robbed of phone or wallet.
and as the local paper pointed out. a guy who was murdered about 1 mile away got no publicity .. cause it was in a neighborhood of high crime. and he was not rich and white. the real statistics is that we have a tremendous amount of property crime.. but are lower on violent crime. people come into our city as there are a lot of wealthy people. here to steal from.. and from clueless tourists.
any crime is bad. but from traveling around and being in the city, if you are careful, it doesn't feel dangerous all the time all places.
