@Taylorgave you a 'like' for that, but secretly he's sitting there now wondering if you are off-setting that carbon footprint.

Hopefully not.  I don’t think we’ll see a 30 dollar situation like at the Ravine. 

By then Latrine parking will be $40 so Arte will be safe making it $30.

All I can say is that I’m really glad you’re embracing grind mindset and big brain thoughts.  I’ll see you in the GDT.

Here's the story, though there's not a whole lot more to it at this point:

"In an affidavit, an FBI agent specifically said Sidhu “has attempted to obstruct an Orange County grand jury inquiry into the Angel Stadium deal.”

Where would the tokens be donated from? Hopefully Chuck E. Cheese.

Shhhh, you have a daughter now.  You don't want Newsome taxing her Chuck E Cheese tokens too.

Sounds like Sidhu needs to be in prison

Yeah, Shaikin massively expanded the article after I first posted the link.  Sidhu looks pretty terrible.  This is just one part that stood out to me (though the article does say it's unclear from the filing whether an offer like this was ever actually made to anyone with the Angels):

"That, according to an FBI affidavit filed Monday in Orange County Superior Court, was because Sidhu wanted to see the deal through to solicit a campaign contribution from the Angels.

“We’ll push them at least [to] have a million dollars,” Sidhu said, unaware the FBI had arranged for the conversation to be recorded. “You know, for [an Angels official] to say ‘no’ is bad.”

I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff they do not even know about yet. So many of these people get into politics just for the wealth and power. It will never stop but they should be held accountable for their BS

I believe that's called quid quo pro. But according to a large percentage of folks that's not an impeachable offense.

the thing about witch hunts is that sometimes they find actual witches.
