‘LOSER’. The epithet that Trump uses all the time, and is terrified of being labeled as.
Loeffler And Perdue Engaged In High-Wire Act In Georgia. Trump’s claims of fraud have the two candidates in an uncomfortable position.
Pro-Trump Group Sued For Not Finding Any Voter Fraud. By a guy who gave them $2.5 mill to find fraud.
The Many Ways Trump Could Be Prosecuted. I have a question for the barristers on here: If Trump has not been charged with a federal offense, how can he be pardoned ahead of time for crimes he might be charged with? Uh, asked and answered.
TOKE-lahoma…where the reefer wafts across the plains. Even (especially?) rednecks love to smoke pot. Paging Gov. Carney. John, John? Okla-fucking-homa.
NC County Recoups $3 Mill From Delaware Board Of Trade ‘Scam’. Good.
What do you want to talk about?
“We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee / We don’t take no trips on LSD”
Y’know, it’s funny. Merle Haggard was from California, and he was a truly GREAT songwriter, that ode to jingoism notwithstanding. Betcha Merle toked on a tour bus here and there..
In fact, from his Wikipedia entry:
“Haggard said he started smoking marijuana when he was 41 years old. He admitted that in 1983, he bought “$2,000 (worth) of cocaine” and partied for five months afterward, when he said he finally realized his condition and quit for good.[60] He quit smoking cigarettes in 1991, and stopped smoking marijuana in 1995.[97] However, a Rolling Stone magazine interview in 2009 indicated that he had resumed regular marijuana smoking.[95]
That last bit about Delaware Board Of Trade paying back the loan is sweet, they should never had gotten a penny, it’s ridiculous to try and start a stock market anywhere near Wall St. And I bet Whirlin’ Merle Haggard partied on, I have no doubt. As for Okie From Muskogee the line that really got me was “white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all”, as in yeah….. Right. Seek help.
We should always remember this simple truth: When a business comes to a government for money, it’s because it couldn’t raise the money privately. And it couldn’t raise the money privately because they couldn’t find anyone who thought it was a good idea.
And yet, and yet, we have a quasi-governmental agency in Delaware that hands public money over to businesses with NO public oversight.
