Also, there are too many executive positions. Please eliminate 3. I am not a crackpot.

How far is too far?
Start here:
Council members are split on the measure, which would increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2020. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has not formally opposed the bill, but the city’s Finance Department estimated it would cost the city more than $150 million over the next five years, and push the unemployment rate as high as 10.6 percent.
“This would return the City to the unemployment levels of the Great Recession, and virtually all of the jobs lost would be youth, young adults and unskilled jobs,” the department reported.
…
In Baltimore, opponents say fundamental differences in the workforce compared to those of other cities make the increase problematic.
Only about a quarter of city residents 25 years or older have at least a bachelor’s degree. The proportion in San Francisco, Seattle and the District of Columbia is upward of 50 percent.
“We have a very unskilled labor force,” said Councilman Jim Kraft, who opposes the bill. “It’s easy to get rid of those people, and easy to change those jobs from full-time jobs to part-time jobs.”
…
“It seems crazy,” said David Neumark, director of the Center for Economics & Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine. “I have no problem calling it reckless.”

The level of education of a city’s residents isn’t something the national Fight for 15 crowd talks about. I wonder why that might be.

Poodebutt has no such luck @22. Nothing there but broken logic. The fact Bundy has sovereign citizen sympathies doesn’t make all sovereign citizens “Bundy guys.” In fact, Bundy isn’t even a true sovereign citizen, because he recognizes state and local government authority. He describes himself as a “citizen of Nevada,” which is inconsistent with sovereign citizen beliefs. Sovereign citizens believe they’re “sovereign,” i.e. under no government. Which, of course, is complete nonsense as they find out when cops forcibly extract them from their vehicles after they refuse to comply with commands to “step out of the car.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: That’s a bad thing? Normally, I want a competitive 2-party system, because without an opposition party the Democrats would (a) have a lot of Republicans in their ranks and (b) slide downhill. (Note that (a) and (b) probably are interrelated to some degree.) But when the worst Democrat is so much better than the best Republican as now, it’s hard to see the death of the GOP as a loss. May it die a quick death; and although we may have to live with a one-party system for a while, eventually the Democrats will split into two parties, and then we’ll be back in business.

@106 Mark, why don’t you discuss this with Goldy? He has experience in handling these sorts of things. He’s been reported to the police for child abuse (now THAT’S libel; and mean, too) and had manure dumped in his driveway. He may be able to offer you some strategies.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@106 (continued) As for someone calling you a “fraud” in the HA comment threads, unless “Mark Adams” is your real name (in which case you’re very stupid), that’s just political speech. I get called names all the time. Grow a skin, man (or woman, as the case may be).

By now, nearly a decade since pocket video became commonplace and a Supreme Court ruling on it, every Officer should be well aware that filming officers in public is specifically legal.
But leave it to Piddles to declare that a guy who doesn’t understand his job and went after law abiding citizens instead of a criminal is not the party of fault.

@130,
That’s no defense at all. Cheeto Mary’s speech is taken verbatim. Not just one or two common phrases or tag lines. Entire paragraphs including precisely identical sequences of phrases, tag lines, nouns, verbs, clauses, and even tenses. No rational person cares to argue that it isn’t plagiarism. Even FOX News is calling it obviously plagiarism.
And that really isn’t even the point. This was supposed to be the moment when unaligned voters and wavering “conservatives” were introduced to Cheeto Mary the ultimate “Hot Wife”. The GOP’s opportunity to define her character to these targeted general election voters and set the tone from now until November. One day later and all anyone is still talking about is plagiarism. Even your beloved propaganda channels are still covering this story, even at the cost of embarrassing themselves. Gone forever is the news cycle that was supposed to be preoccupied with the “Hot Wife” beauty and poise, and BENGHAAAZIIIY!! Instead it’s 24 hrs of plagiarism debate. Another opportunity squandered. Own it.
Will you Republican idiots be shitting your pants every single day until this debacle is over?
I hope so. I just plan to stay well upwind.

@118 So it could be like the Partido Revolucionario Institucional? Wouldn’t the Democratic party act like any other sole party with no rival? Political theory says the Democratic party out of self interest, and wanting to maintain the status quo and remain in power would act in that interest. As with the Mexican PRI it can be generations before the opposition has an opportunity to act like a opposition party or even rule.
Should the Republican party collapse one should hope something rises from ashes quickly. Where are those Bullmoose buttons?
Although the founding fathers were not at al excited about there being factions, but factions happened pretty quickly.

@113 I have at times been reminded of another Republican and what was said at his nominating convention, and there are some familiar tones and comments from Democrats and the news, but I keep hearing things that are eerily like things said of Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Or is it “The Blues Brothers”, “Mad Max”, “Caddyshack” or “The Shining”?

@138 Unfortunately it’s abundantly clear that a lot of cops either are ignorant, or willfully disregard that. The fact some state legislatures and Congress have sought ways around the courts ruling does not help matters. Though it’s amusing to watch the 6 ft 5 cop intimidated by a short 80 year old woman with a camera, shouting for her to turn it off!!!

@144 Since I can’t vote for Ralph Nader, I’m thinking of voting for Jill stein, only the Green convention isn’t until August. Will the Green Party get a little attention from HOrses Ass?
Looking at the military active and vets they are not really happy with either candidate, though they are favoring Trump, but a large number may vote for a third party candidate.
