Shot at Spiro Agnew outta nowhere.
Yeah, uh, I think I see the problem here. How the hell does one guy have so much influence over what is happening in a state? This makes it sound like heās more powerful than the governor, at least behind the scenes, and since itās at the state level there is probably a lot less scrutiny of his actions than you would expect, at least until something goes wrong, which is probably how this investigation got started in the first place.
Are you under some naive impression that there is not a similarly powerful legislator in every state? Itās the equivalent of US Speaker / Sen Maj leader - they get to decide what gets a vote and what does not, except with more power and less scrutiny at the state level.
Willie Brown wasnāt known as the Ayatollah of the Assembly in California without reason.
The Householder case is about the nuclear bailout battle just a while back. It was widely discussed at the time that there were shady back-room dealers trying to masquerade as a pro-consumer group.

Wasnāt sure which thread to put this in, but since itās about Republicans lying, seems this one will do?
I live a couple of miles away from this placeā¦ itās only been open a few years. I havenāt been there, mainly because Iām not really a beer drinker, but from what I know about the owners, they are big on supporting veterans and other non-partisan fundraisers, and indeed, I have not heard of them being politically active. They seem like really stand up people.
Iām sure they have political opinions, but just choose not to engage in them, and I canāt blame themā¦ why purposely alienate potential customers? Though Freeport is pretty blue, indeed, most of Cumberland County is.
Iām somewhat concerned about where this event is going to move to, and I canāt help but wonder whether any of the people coming are complying with our governorās self-quarantine and mask mandates. (Probably not.)
Nope, I was being sarcastic. I have always maintained that there is no way we should allow this much power to reside in one person in every state (or with Mitch ānot going to vote on that todayā McConnell at the federal level). It is a recipe for abuse of power, and circumvents the entire āwe elected a whole congressā idea of representation. Just another bullet point for government reform (that will likely never happen).
A freedom caucus / Liz Cheney death match is a step in the right direction. Letās give them weapons.

She votes with trump 97% of the time.

But that 3% makes her IMPURE.
Itās like homeopathic water. The lower the percentage, the more power it has.
