  1. Yeah, kinda ironic that we haven't seen any PR from the Libertarian Party during the lockdown.
  2. It's not a big deal Ultimate. Sexual assault claims against trump didn't end up being a factor in the 2016 election, Sexual assault claims against Kavanaugh didn't end up being a factor in his nomination, and these Trumped up claims against Biden by a woman who doesn't even remember what she reported almost 30 years ago won't be a factor in the 2020 election either.
  3. 20.2K people are talking about this "As a mother, Ms. Luther wanted to feed her children," Paxton said in a letter to the judge asking him to free her. "As a small business owner, she wanted to help her employees feed their children. Needless to say, these are laudable goals that warrant the exercise of enforcement discretion." On Thursday, Paxton praised the governor for ensuring that people would not be jailed for flouting the state's coronavirus restrictions. "I applaud Gov. Abbott’s decision to ensure that penalties for violating public health orders are reasonable and not excessive. All Texans are trying to get through this crisis together and no one should be put in jail unnecessarily," he said. Abbott said it was not just that as the state was reducing its prison populations because of the coronavirus that it was also throwing entrepreneurs in jail. "It may also ensure that other Texans like Ana Isabel Castro-Garcia and Brenda Stephanie Mata who were arrested in Laredo, should not be subject to confinement," Abbott said of the order. "As some county judges advocate for releasing hardened criminals from jail to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is absurd to have these business owners take their place.” 9,356 people are talking about this On Thursday night, Abbott said on Fox News' "Hannity" that citizens' liberty needed to be balanced with the need to slow the coronavirus' spread. "There is [a balance that needs to be struck], Sean, and that is why we are now in Texas opening up things like hair salons and barbershops," Abbott told host Sean Hannity. "But Sean, you need to know this: The problem that we're dealing with is far worse than what you've articulated in Dallas County." Luther, after her arrest for operating her salon in violation of Abbott's executive order, was given three choices by the judge: She could offer an apology for selfishness, pay a fine and shut down until Friday, or serve jail time. "I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish," she told the judge. "I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision. But I am not going to shut the salon." The dustup Wednesday over Luther's actions came after two Texas Republican lawmakers got illegal haircuts at another business in protest of the fact that hair salons and barbershops were not part of the initial wave of businesses to reopen under the governor's plan. "Hairstylists and the cosmetology industry don’t have a lot of lobbyists in the Capitol advocating for them, whereas maybe the big-box stores and large restaurant chains do and sadly they were overlooked when this should have been an industry that was opened first, because of how regulated they are and the health standards they have to comply with," state Rep. Briscoe Cain said, according to Fox 26 Houston. He was joined by Rep. Steve Toth in his act of civil disobedience. Abbott this week moved up the timeline for hair salons, barbershops and tanning salons to open to Friday after they were initially slotted to reopen in mid-May under the state's plan to get its economy going again. I mean after the State AG, and the Governor both called for her release, then the Governor amended his E.O., wouldn't the Judge be compelled to release her? Maybe this was political afterall....... Did it again Muda...... .
  4. You and @Muda69 are hitting the "submit" button twice before the first one uploaded. Use a little patience. Or just copy and paste the link, it's much easier.
  5. Certainly not a typo. Committing a grammatical error while explaining the superiority of your education over someone else's. Definitely a foot in the mouth on your part. Then try to cover it up by name-calling. Laughable.
  6. You've heard the saying "When pigs fly"? The original was "Michigan will be able to play football when wolverines fly".
  7. I'm unsure as to why you keep repeating this lie. Moderators can see the real names of all GID members.
  8. You should probably be careful about disagreeing with 1 of your posse. Troj might tooth type a scathing rebuttal once he gets his foot out of his mouth.
