  1. Has anyone checked on O'Keefe? Is he dead?
  2. I thought they only investigated Republicans?
  3. Who do you like in the first round? Assuming MHJ will be off the board.
  4. Give the first episode 10 minutes. You'll be hooked.
  5. Oklahoma Senator James Lankford censured over border negotiations https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/29/oklahoma-senator-james-lankford-censured-border/72393812007/ WASHINGTON − The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution censuring Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., and attacking the Republican lawmaker for negotiating with Democrats on a potential border deal. The resolution, shared by Oklahoma State Sen. Dusty Deevers on X, formerly Twitter, accuses Lankford of “playing fast and loose with Democrats on our border policy." Lawmakers for months have been struggling to reach an agreement to address the challenges on America's southern border, and Lankford has been the lead GOP negotiator.
  6. Trump wants the economy to crash this year? That's pretty fucked up.
  7. Can't imagine where they got that idea.
  8. Whatever he said that got him banned was deleted.
  9. Unless you eat pudding with your fingers this post wasn't about you. Also Cals is banned again for saying mean words to mmc.
  10. Well that's not true and also not the reason why he did it. It was purely retaliatory. If his issue was with special districts why did he let The Villages keep theirs? Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill revoking Disney's special district status https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/22/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bill-revoking-disneys-special-district-status.html Tax experts and legislators say eliminating the district could have unintended consequences for county taxpayers. Disney’s special tax district status allows the company to levy an additional tax on itself to pay for municipal services, something that other counties cannot do. That tax currently amounts to $105 million per year, said Orange County tax collector Scott Randolph. Reedy Creek also receives additional revenue of nearly $60 million from Disney to pay its bond debt. Sunsetting Reedy Creek means that local counties will begin paying for those services without that special status in place. Taxpayers will likely be left to foot the bill for potholes and emergency services. The counties would also absorb Reedy Creek’s debt. The district historically operates at a loss of around $5 million to $10 million each year, according to its financial reports. But since Disney can subsidize its own operations with theme park revenue, that debt doesn’t have much impact on its bottom line. According to lawmakers, there’s around $1 billion in debt on the balance sheet that taxpayers would become responsible for should the special district get absorbed, leading to higher taxes. And salvaging those budgets won’t be easy. State law prohibits counties from raising sales taxes or impact fees to cover costs, and they must tax all areas of the county equally. So, whatever they enact will apply to everyone. Randolph said the county will likely have to raise property taxes by 20% to 25% to make up the difference.
  11. It might be a bit more personal with pudding fingers
  12. So small government "libertarians" are okay with this just as long as it's against a company you "can't stand."
  13. I'm surprised Iowa didn't like the little brown guy.
  14. I like the pause of him just standing there until he knows they are filming.
  15. Iowans have bigger issues to worry about. Like why their football team has still not adapted the forward pass.
  16. Speaking of Elon Musk and calling people a pedophile. Remember this fun story? Elon Musk calls British diver in Thai cave rescue 'pedo' in baseless attack | Elon Musk | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/15/elon-musk-british-diver-thai-cave-rescue-pedo-twitter Elon Musk came under fire on Sunday after launching an extraordinary attack on a British diver who helped rescue the boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand, baselessly calling him a “pedo” on Twitter and then doubling down. Twelve boys and their football coach were rescued from the Tham Luang cave complex by an international team and after a week of intense drama. The chief executive of the tech giant Tesla offered to assist the rescue mission by providing a submarine. The request was turned down. Musk lashed out on Sunday, saying he would make a video proving that his “mini-sub” would have been successful and adding: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”
