I hope they are doing this more & more. Thank you. Now we just need to see it with open drug use in parks. Can you give us a bust using the drone in Richmond or Taufer Park? Please get one done or a previous one & post like this on social media…would love to see it in action.

Holy cow!

RT @JustinWStapley: Was that money properly appropriated by Congress and were the renovations cleared through the proper channels?

@ChaserSword6449 @thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu The real stupidity is believing we should replace one bad option with another

@WasatchWhig @thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu “They prioritized keeping the one city where everyone lives together instead of splitting it up like a pizza!” You people are so goddamned stupid it hurts

Look at Utah. I live in that minuscule, blue district. If that isn’t gerrymandering, I don’t know what is. That little thing was created to give the Democrats a seat by packing all the blue voters into one district. Crazy.

@politicalmath @Pro_Nuke Most “Republican” “banned” books are books with sexual themes.

None of these books have been "banned" from public libraries and the few that have been "banned" from school libraries were banned for racial slurs in Burbank CA, which was +34 D in the 2024 election

@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu That’s total BS, there’s plenty of ways to split SLC once and not have this clear gerrymander.

@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu And the Utah map was redrawn because the Fair Districts Amendment stated that you couldn’t split any county more than once so SLC had to have its own district.

@thinbluesublime @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Putting West Valley with Foothill & the Avenues makes less sense than putting West Valley with Kerns, & South Jordan. People pretending SLC is a strong cohesive city is very disconnected from the reality here. There’s a reason no homeless shelters are by SLC ‘s major hospitals.

@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Wow, that’s not what I’m arguing.

@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu No you don’t, because arguing that SLC is a Dem pack is arguing that it’s a *Republican* gerrymander by saying that the Dems should have *more* districts because the GOP “packed” them all into one district. And SLC isn’t one district, it’s 1 district + part of another district.

@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu SLC shouldn’t be 1 or 4 districts. Both are terrible gerrymanders. I totally understand packing & cracking. I understand what gerrymandering is whether I like the outcome or not, unlike you.

@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Yeah they packed SLC into a single district because it makes no fucking sense to have it split among 4 districts. The previous map was a very obvious gerrymander, the one that replaced it is not. You’re the idiot who doesn’t understand the concept of packing and cracking.

@DiehardOsfan55 @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu Gerrymandering is changing district lines to get a desired outcome. In this case, they packed a district to get a safe Democrat district. You partisan hacks do mental gymnastics to justify corrupt politics. We’re seeing the tit for tat nationwide give us worse candidates.

@WasatchWhig @KilleyAlex @JeffMindel @rich_byu The concept of “packing” when it comes to gerrymandering is sticking all of one party in as few districts as possible so the rest are safe for the other party. That’s the whole point behind it. So you’re misusing the term.

@KilleyAlex @Buhlerzzz @rich_byu Proportional? Interesting since that metric means it’s focused on voter affiliation: exactly what prop 4 said is not supposed to be done making maps. This is a clear gerrymander done to get a desired political outcome.

@WasatchWhig @Buhlerzzz @rich_byu No, it definitely is not. It's far more proportional now, and that matters a lot. It's the most commonly cited statistic to determine if a map is fair.

@DiehardOsfan55 @shanesmith336 @JeffMindel @rich_byu Packing & cracking are both common gerrymandering techniques. They are independent of each other. Picking voters to get a desired party, is gerrymandering. Districts should combine common interests but not by focused on giving any particular party priority.

@shanesmith336 @WasatchWhig @JeffMindel @rich_byu I should say it not necessarily gerrymandering. In some cases it is, but only if it accompanied by cracking.
