Like actual communities with shared interests that could be reasonably represented communities. A city, a region, whatever, not this bullshit of one third of a city being represented by the same guy who also represents some patch of country 3 hours away.

When I'm in charge, party primaries will be banned, and all districts will have to be tied to actual communities of interest.

I have tried to explain to my wife that this concept applies for ALL groceries, not just meat and stuff, but to no avail.

I like how it's showing the *TOTAL PRICE* as if they're progressively more shocking, but that's just more of it.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single one. I actually wonder if that kind of stuff is less likely than it would have been because all the worst cops are joining ICE.

Not saying nothing is happening at all or won’t happen in the future, but it‘s not what they’re doing in like, Chicago. For one thing they just don’t have the manpower to do all that everywhere.

I’m here in (urban) Louisiana and I really haven’t heard much about any ICE activity in the state except for the facilities they are bringing people to from out of state. My impression is that a major purpose of all this is to cause terror in ”blue” areas.
