After a nice dinner, he went on a Twitter rant and crashed the stock market.

In Texas, they operate location-specific promotional email lists. “Gifts” with a purchase, promotions, and sometimes a monthly free gift. The local store has been randomly giving away a few free-sandwich-per-week-for-a-year cards this fall (must purchase a sandwich to enter). Cow Calendar cards (with monthly free…

I swear the guy is actually a spiteful six-year-old.

A recent interview with Wendy’s CEO told about how their biggest priority is finding a way to get people to move from a $4 meal to a $5 meal.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep,

According to exit polls, 51% of Texas voters who were born in Texas voted for Beto O’Rourke. Republicans claimed it was “California Liberals” who supported him. Instead it was lifetime locals who damn near voted him in. In a state that has been red for decades, THAT is a truly a groundswell of support.

Morally and ethically bankrupt, true!

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Trump is not that funny.

“Also, President Trump touched a horse’s ass.”

Beto still needs to cook, not lead a ticket. His race gave him leverage within the party, and he needs to use that to change the party, to move it back to being closer to it’s membership instead of to the existing Democrat power structure (which isn’t enough to put it in the lead).

Not necessarily, but closed doors make corruption much easier.

Of course, you realize how many stupid things Trump has decided are issues of “national security”, don’t you? I’m not sure that bar is high enough anymore.
