Losspring (n) Definition: a parent who has lost a child

“Mary was a losspring at age 35 when her youngest died from cancer”

It’s a new word I invented because we need it in addition to widow and orphan

“I met several lossprings at my son’s funeral in March”

@BasilTheGreat She was dumb enough to date him

Not that she deserved murder, but geez, don’t date them and be the next victim

@Bannons_WarRoom Ugh

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@IsaiahLCarter If we didn’t have “the system” as Ken is complaining about, then the community would have given out the Justice

Pretty sure Austin’s teammates and family wouldn’t have been as lenient

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@KenHeLive We can just skip “the system”

The community could take take action

Wonder how well Karmelo would do if Austin’s teammates and family were deciding his fate, instead of “the system”

@HotSotin You are fake and ghey

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@GovPressOffice You don’t want people to vote correctly?

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@DerrickEvans4WV @BreannaMorello I literally voted for Trump so we may finally be done with name calling

There wasn’t a single thing we could say about policy or people without being labeled as some -ism or phobia

Voilà, Trump is doing the same shit

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@julie_kelly2 @vjeannek It’s weird to observe politics from a normie perspective

Dems do anything and all of the base accepts it or keeps quiet for the good of the party

GOP does anything and you have 25% picky shit excuses. Where the perfect always stands in the way of the good

When I decided to enter the gubernatorial race in March, a big consideration was financing the campaign. After much research and discussion, my wife Renee and I decided that the only way we can achieve what we wanted to accomplish was to fund the campaign ourselves with no donations from any individual or entity. This was, of course, a major decision for our family and to my knowledge had never been done before in a statewide gubernatorial race. Why did we make this decision?

Approximately 15 years ago, the US Supreme court ruled that Super PACs could make unlimited donations to campaigns as long as they did not coordinate with the campaigns. They left the disclosure rules to the states. SC decided to have little or no disclosure. Further - unlike a lot of states who defined coordinate with campaigns like not sharing vendors, allowing staff to skip back and forth etc., SC did not define "coordinate" so there is no way to enforce "no coordination". As such we have the wild west of super PAC's and 501 C4's being able to fund political campaigns with secret money and they do not have to disclose who their source donors are.

How has this manifested itself in South Carolina? Let's say a data center operator wants to get traction in SC. They donate to a super PAC (so you do not know who donated). The super PAC goes to a candidate for Governor, legislator or even county council or Mayor and says "We will donate $100k or $1 million to helping your election efforts. If you win, you will support and vote for this data center".

Now, you the citizen don't want that data center. You go to your representatives and lobby. But at most you have donated $ 1000 (often the donation limit for individuals). Who do you think they listen to?

This money virus started out in federal elections, went to statewide elections and now is all over the state and has brought this state to its knees. That's why no citizen agenda makes any headway. Donor and special interest agendas do. In a red state, look what we have over the last decade- big time office leases with the biggest donor to the Republican party, Ports authority and Santee Cooper boards filled with donors. Data centers, batter plants, solar panel plants, electric jeeps, etc. Sound like a red state agenda. Nope. It is a donor agenda. No one will fix it because everyone has their hand in the cookie  jar.

While it is a major financial sacrifice for us, I decided that if we cannot change these disclosure laws, coordination laws and fix the corrupt money in the system, no change is possible. For the first time in our generation, I am running a statewide campaign with no one controlling my agenda.

I think it is imperative that you, the voter, understand this and realize that if we do not fix this, nothing  is sustainable and we will never get out of this ditch. Today, 31 percent plus of our legislators are trial lawyers while less than 1 percent of the working population are trial lawyers. You wonder why no tort reform gets done, and insurance of all kinds is out of control? Look at the dark money from the trial lawyer lobby that keeps their people in place and you will have your answer. But wait, you can't find the source of the money even if you tried to.

Thomas Jefferson said "We cannot be ignorant and free." The more you know, the more determined you will be to make change and take our government back. I will get it done. The career politicians with their dark money will not. You cannot change a system you are part of.

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

We keep hearing about doctor shortages. Why aren’t there lawyer shortages?

Why aren’t we importing lawyers from all over the world?

@MaryAnnreports Grief is about RAGE

And, I support it

Being angry keeps us going

Everyone has a choice of what to do with that anger

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@OcrazioCornPop Thune isn’t my favorite, but he is telling the truth

He has one vote, just as every other senator

If there aren’t 60, or even 50 he cannot make them vote for it

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@drawandstrike @thedarkhorsepod Yeah, the simple fact that when (in 2020) people claimed the voting machines were rigged, it was illegal to look at the machines (of a private company)

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@thedarkhorsepod How many elections on foreign countries has the US govt claimed were fraudulent? What evidence have they provided?

Apparently Maduro was fraudulently elected? Where was the court case showing fraud?

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@Mappy6984 The government also encourages fights amongst citizens with all the rules

Neighbors can abuse the rules to “tell on” neighbors

But hey, we have a great GDP when you have to hire lawyers and architects to have a shed

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@Mappy6984 This is how you occupy a shed

@Keir_Starmer The “law” is what made people mad

It’s weird how you pick and choose who is allowed to be mad

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@WesleyHuntTX According to Crockett, all black men are the same. There is no difference between you and Karmelo or George Floyd

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@OwenShroyer1776 No
I get embarrassed by watching videos of people getting chased by geese

[Cheese Crackers 🇺🇸 @Why45huh]

@TheLizVariant In life, too

We all over-explain
