She was bought, and until the GOP is no longer the party of grifters and con men, you can never convince me otherwise. We all know the devil’s bargain one needs to make in Trump 2: “You can grift, but not as much as DJT, and if you get caught, that’s on you.”

"You Can Drink Everything"
Is anyone going to do a documentary about the amount of alcohol consumed this week in Wisconsin? A first time World Series into a Packer win into Halloween?! What would the title of that documentary be? Is everyone’s costume going to be beer cheese vomit?

Yes, but it's very small. A mote moat, if you will.
I'm starting to think there *is* a moat

Hey, @theliamnissan, the latest health insurance raise notices are going out in TX the week before the midterms. Millions of Texas households are going to be receiving notices like this one (received by my wife - A FIFTY PERCENT INCREASE! My insurance 'only' increased by 23%.) – at Helotes, TX

The policy has a $6k deductible, meaning that we must spend $24k before the insurance acts like insurance. This is the sort of increase you do when you want people (especially women) OFF your insurance rolls.

Note: the $24k figure is just for her policy only.

This is $18,000/year for a plan with a $6,000 deductible. $24k out of pocket before the insurance starts acting like insurance.

OH NO, MY 2020 NFT IS GONE! MILLIONS LOST!
BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion. The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH. If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history. We expect more information shortly.

Genuine question: What is Christian about the second amendment? #2A
Note to Democrats: If you ran an actual Christian candidate from Texas for US Senate, and he was actually a moderate who really did want a secure border, to work across the aisle, actually supported the Second Amendment and actually wanted to protect kids from gender ideology… I would have voted for that candidate over Paxton. Your guy Talarico is actually just that awful. I had to hold my nose and vote Paxton.

Tell me you know nothing about how sales tax is collected without telling me... – at Helotes, TX
Part of the reason for this is that local governments have decided that eating in a restaurant is an indulgence, a fripperous luxury, so they tax restaurants like thin lipped abolitionist schoolmarms taxed booze. Every time a customer sits down to eat, the local government gets its cut first, “sales tax,” which for the restaurant essentially amounts to a tax on revenue. In most places it’s 8-20%. Then the owner has to pay tax again, to the federal government, on profits.

This is exactly what I did, and the price I paid was sleeping soundly, at peace with myself. A 'man' who can't father because of a divorce is not a man at all. – at Helotes, TX
As a man and a dad, I will always say this: I still don’t believe there is any sane man who wakes up one day and becomes a deadbeat without reason. Men love their kids. These little beings always end up being our stress relievers. It’s like you’re sure they’re the only people you can always talk to, and their smiles melt our hearts. But some people are so evil that they will make these men go through the worst, to the extent of hating themselves and their kids in the end, because it’s too hard to love those kids when you’re not on good terms with the mother. Yet, in some way, everyone always expects a man to stay calm and normal, send school fees, provide the basics, and show up for his kids. But do you know the price they pay for this? Before you judge anyone, just know that you’re doing it because you’re not the one going through what they’re going through.

This woman will burn in Hell. – at Helotes, TX
🚨🚨UNREAL: Last night at the Woodland High School vs El Camino High School girls’ varsity volleyball game, the principal approached me to warm me that I was not allowed to film any “minors” unless I was related to the player. Why are they trying to hide the trans-identified boy? Girls’ sports are for girls only. Break the spell!!

This administration isn't going to "stop" AI Advancement for the next 2 years, 3 months. And after that, it will likely take (unless there's some catastrophe that we need to respond to) another 3-months to 1-year before legislation is passed and signed. Just sayin'.
Sama says "I no longer think we're gonna be able to just patch all the bugs." If accurate, this means 2 things: 1) The internet as we know it is over. 2) We very, very obviously need to stop AI advancement **before** the same becomes true of bio.

America a country which accepts the routine slaughter of children as to support a version of the #2A which states it is more evil to deny people the weapons used to slaughter children than it is to slaughter children. I would abandon such a morally craven country too. – at Helotes, TX
Jesus didn't leave America. We. Left. Him.💔🇺🇸

I am quote tweeting your tweet which itself helped disseminate these accusations... am I in trouble? Are you going to sue yourself first?
Let me be clear: We intend to pursue legal action against those responsible for publishing and disseminating these categorically false and defamatory allegations. We are preserving all legal rights and remedies and will address these matters in the appropriate forum, not through exchanges on social media.
