Is the South Dem Party getting compensated by the Repugs?

I say this jokingly but you gotta kind of scratch your head and wonder with all the numbers and decreases with the party. Also, the SDDP recruited a candidate for Minnehaha County Commission, but because of a screwup with sigs or something, they are running as an Indy (they are a really good candidate, just unfortunate they can’t run under a party banner).

I left the party shortly after 911, after Tom Daschle voted for authorization to go into Iraq. I said, ‘Once this party believes in diplomacy again, I will return.’ Guess what? Still an Indy.

There is a group of local rabble-rousers that lean ‘old-school left’ that have a little drinky party on Friday nights, I sometimes attend. The organizer sends out an email each week about the state of politics, mostly statewide and nationally and he always has an update of how many registered voters the party has lost over the past week in the state. Well, that inflamed one of the former party execs who decided to do a respond all to the group trying to downplay the disastrous leadership while NOT addressing the real problem, LOSING PARTY MEMBERS.

I won’t even say who this person is, they have already embarrassed themself enough.

They also email responses with fake names so they can troll a group that literally just drinks beer and Diet Coke and bitches about how big of babies the current SDDP is. That’s about all that is happening, but ironically, they probably accomplish more then the Exec Board of the SDDP. Maybe they should move the meeting to the Dox?

You can’t have a party with no party goers. Some in the SDDP don’t seem to understand that concept, or maybe they do, and that is why they are cashing checks from the SD GOP 🙂 because unless you are actually TRYING, it is hard to lose members that fast and frequent.

I think the SDDP has a traitor . . . will be interesting to see who it is.

This was the end of the show that lasted at least 45 minutes with a short intermission.

Breaking the Law!

One of my friends said to me jokingly a few years back,

“Who do you think the biggest lawbreaker is in Sioux Falls?”

He says,

“The City of Sioux Falls.”

I have watched over the last 5 years or so as several public inputers have expressed their utter dismay in the way the city doesn’t follow it’s own rules, or Federal guidelines for that matter. That is why the city handed out almost 5,000 sidewalk violations in a single season because they were getting their asses sued for ADA violations.

So fast forward to today. First, we pay DOUBLE for a bridge that didn’t need to be replaced immediately, then we decide we are going to rebuild all the rec paths around it. I thought ‘FINALLY’ they will fix this stupid incline that in NO WAY is ADA compliant.

So what does the city do, build the exact same ramp that is NOT ADA compliant. It is hard to see from the pics below, but this mofo is steep. They should have extended it to the NORTH to drag out the incline.

Isn’t progress great! $50 million in tax rebates for parking ramps to million dollar condos and $10 million over budget for a bridge that has non-compliant ped ramps.

Huh?

Not sure who is writing John’s campaign materials, but he has another zinger today. But what surprised me the most was the dude endorsing him founded one of the most successful ad agencies in the state and he makes a statement that sounds like something Ginny Thomas would text to a friend.

I can’t even show you the other side, it is even worse!

I also like how Graig manipulated the language to get his right-winger challenge coins (hate them!!!). Instead of saying defenders of HUMAN rightS he says defenders of RIGHT, who stand in the gap. What freaking GAP are you talking about? The one at the mall?

I can’t keep track of all the weirdo right-winger, Trumpified, dog whistles these days, they make up new crap constantly!

And they call themselves conservatives?! Sounds pretty f’cking progressive to me.

This doc is so good, I watched it twice

Netflix puts out outstanding docs, but this one is probably one of their best. It is something I have known about for a long time, but mostly those stories are pieced together randomly across the country, and no one has compiled something like this. If you think the police are your friend, you are mistaken. Find a way to see this film, it will change your entire perspective.
