Oregon high court says 10 GOP state senators who staged long walkout can’t run for reelection

Ok, this is AMAZING. Any chance other states will adopt it? I love the idea of actual consequences when you don't do your job.

This chucklefuck right here:

“We obviously disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling,” said Knopp, the Senate minority leader. “But more importantly, we are deeply disturbed by the chilling impact this decision will have to crush dissent.”

THIS is crushing dissent? Not you and your band of idiots refusing to let your colleagues do their jobs for 6 fricking weeks?

I know I'm over-simplifying, but if you walk out of your job for six weeks, you probably should be aware that you're giving the impression that you no longer want said job, no?

Good for OR!

This reminds me of surveys at work. Everyone wants accountability. Until they're the ones held accountable. Republicans keep finding ways to subvert democracy.

I love that we are in our Fuck Around Find Out Era. This applies to Dumpster Fire’s and Elon’s recent court rulings, too.

but he could still win. That terrifies me.

On a good day I think humanity wins. And then I'll be driving and realize there is no humanity. My pub friend just asked yesterday what would happen if the orange one wins? I honestly have not allowed my brain to contemplate that. I'm the only American so I get these questions often, but it truly hot me hard to be asked what if.
