Tomorrow's the day

Here's Oklahoma's ballot measures:
State Question 776 was designed to assert that all methods of execution would be constitutionally allowed unless prohibited by the United States Constitution and designated statutorily by the legislature.

State Question 777 was designed to establish a constitutional right for farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and ranching practices.

State Question 779 was designed to increase the state sales tax by 1 percent to generate revenue for education funding.

State Question 780 was designed to reclassify certain property offenses and simple drug possession as misdemeanor crimes.

State Question 781 was designed to use money saved by reclassifying certain property and drug crimes as misdemeanors, as outlined in State Question 780, to fund rehabilitative programs.

State Question 790 was designed to repeal Section 5 of Article 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which prohibits public money from being spent for religious purposes.

State Question 792 was designed to allow grocery stores and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and wine.

Here's what we have in California, it has international consequences.
Proposition 60, the Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative, is on the November 8, 2016, ballot in California as an initiated state statute.

A "yes" vote supports requiring the use of condoms and other protective measures during the filming of pornographic films, as well as requiring pornography producers to pay for certain health requirements and checkups.
A "no" vote opposes this measure requiring the use of condoms and other safety measures during the filming of pornographic films.
Both parties are against it and it will still probably pass.

Also lol at the Okie public funds for religious purposes. Thats going to end well.

There was a line of one old person when I arrived at my polling station. Was in and out in less than 5 minutes.

The last time I had this feeling of dread was when we invaded Iraq.

At least we voted down that stupid religion bill.

We also enabled more capital punishment bullshit but pick your battles I guess?

Oddly enough there was a decent amount of humility and grace in his acceptance speech tonight.

Yeah, weirdly unexpected. Makes me wonder how much of his rhetoric he's actually going to stand by now that he's won.
I think the most cringeworthy moment for me today was watching Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts popping the champagne outside Parliament House. Anything those psycho's decide to celebrate can't be a good thing.

There's a decent amount of "the DNC / Hillary had a perfect campaign and candidate, not their fault they lost" going on right now and I'm not having any of it.

Discussion of the hour seems to be how completely fucked American environmental protection is. Comparison I see being made is Tony Abbot without any opposition.
