Even if 100% of the Democrats were there for every procedural vote on the matter every time, the Republicans would just have to show up once to vote it down. Besides, is the Senate more likely to convict now, or two months from now?

    "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has 11 Democratic House members to thank for tanking the nascent effort to impeach him."

    Honeslty, mate, this vote to send the impeachment inquiry to a committee a month and a half before a congress with any chance of passing it in the house and very little if any chance of passing it in the senate is a bit overglorified when called an "effort to impeach him."

    You have to think she's just punting on the rest of her political career. That she knows it's over so she's just trying to cash one last big paycheck before she moves over to be a consultant or whatever. Nothing else would make sense here cuz this is political suicide otherwise.

    ... and we have legal weed and psychedelics.

    It is bluer, but if you take into account everywhere outside of the Denver area and across most of I-70 it's a very purple state. Just take a drive up from Denver to Fort Collins via Greeley and you'll see what I am talking about.

    Regardless, it's hella better than Kansas any day.

    There are almost no jobs in demand there apart from healthcare, government administration, and shipping logistics. The State of Kansas is the largest employer in Topeka (10k), more than double the next-highest (Stormont Vail Health @ 4,400).

    They can't do anything to really create job demand out of thin air, especially because even if they entice companies to open an office there, they can't get them to pay high enough to make people move there (and why would a company move there when they can just hire remote?).

    It's Kansas, so there's no real natural appeal (and Colorado is Bluer, richer, prettier, and due-west). The only thing going for them is their very low CoL.

    The whole state is a literal flat empty field.

    Is this one of those, all the talent left towns? If so why not figure why they left and fix that.

    I know that sounds like I’m stating it’s easy but there seems lots of people willing to step out of the rat race a little in return for fair treatment and decent transport/support

    ... anyone who fills out the form must secure a job with a Shawnee County employer to even be considered eligible. But be sure to check with your new job before making any moves, as not every employer offers relocation incentives — participation is voluntary and position-specific... the relocation program is typically reserved for “hard-to-fill roles” which likely require specialized skills, education or experience. However, the program is open to all employers, with over 50 companies participating today.

    Oh wow. An astounding effort by Topeka, gathering 50 employers to help sound the clarion call for more MAGAts.

    They've even flavored the bait for them by spicing it up with fine print gotchas, etc.

    Ah, Topeka. Same old trash as ever.

    Everybody that was present as well as everybody with a leadership role in that chapter needs to be charged, usually 3-5 people would be in an authoritative position from president to event planner to security, bartender if doing it that way. The only way to handle these organizations is by actually punishing everybody involved as well as their entire "leadership", at a minimum President and VP need to be charged every time something like rape occurs at an event or on their property.

    the correct thing is going to the police and filing a report, a prestigious UNIVERSITY will not do such thing and will likely bury it in most cases for fear of retribution/donation from wealthy donors.

    The woman’s friends said a group of men had tried to block them from entering the bathroom after the men were seen “cheering and appearing to encourage the activity inside,” according to the report.

    The group of up to five men initially told the woman’s friends she wasn’t inside the bathroom, the report says. When the two other women pushed forward, a man grabbed one of them by the hair as the other picked the bathroom lock, according to the report.

    These people should be charged as well for being accomplices
