George Washington bred his own pack of hunting dogs and named them like a man with zero supervision. We're talking Sweet Lips, Tipsy, Tipler, Drunkard, and one named Vulcan who was so big a kid could ride him like a pony. Vulcan once stole an entire ham straight off the dinner table and bolted to the kennels. The General just laughed while Martha sat there furious.
But the dogs were only half of it. The man could DANCE. In 1779 he partnered with Kitty Greene at a ball and the two of them danced for over three hours straight without sitting down once. People at the time said he was actually elite at it. He called it "so agreeable and innocent an amusement."
And in his final years his big retirement hobby was building a whiskey distillery. Not a little hobby still either. By 1799 it was the largest distillery in America, cranking out 11,000 gallons a year.
So the real George Washington: breeds hunting dogs with names like Drunkard, dances for three hours straight, runs the biggest whiskey operation in the country. Founding Father behavior.
Democrats' defensive disaster leads to two runs for Republicans after a hit by Rep. Bill Huizenga that didn't leave the infield in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers took the field in one of Washington's longest-running traditions, with the GOP looking to extend a multi-year winning streak.
The matchup has raised millions for charity over the years and offers a rare moment where political rivals compete side-by-side outside the halls of Congress.
@JamesHohman@MackinacCenter I like to scare people by telling them in an alternate reality everyone’s property taxes are twice as much…
So why can’t there just be a similar cut back, like to 1/4 taxable value for SEV?
@MarioNawfal Reclassify all the federal money stolen via fraud or outright theft directly as funds we had to spend in deficit. Shift the debt burden of those funds from the national debt to those who were caught stealing.
Yes. It’s amazing that so many conservatives on this site are falling for the most obvious PR rebrand stunt of all time.
Also, Hunter hasn’t even said anything even vaguely interesting or based. He’s on here posting basic shitlib talking points and conservatives are infatuated for some reason.
@DonnieDetroit19 I have a half-baked theory this could be to piss off voters and force through the MOP UP Michigan ballot initiative… which yes, curtails utilities’ political giving, but really will stop millions in campaign donations from Michigan business owners.
NEW: @RepHuizenga (R-MI) has introduced a bill that would automatically strip citizenship and deport any naturalized US citizens if they've been convicted of terrorism related offenses. The "Deport the Terrorists Act" would close a loophole in current US law that allows these people to remain in the US indefinitely because of the long and tedious legal process that comes with denaturalization, which has rarely been pursued prior to the Trump administration.
This bill would automatically revoke the citizenship of any American convicted of terror related crimes and would make them immediately subject to deportation, and also creates new grounds for deportation.
The idea behind the bill is instead of DOJ having to file denaturalization cases and potentially wait years for them to play out in court, the law would expedite that process to automatically and immediately revoke US citizenship and prioritize the subjects for deportation, without going through a lengthy legal process.
@fleshsimulator I mean, despite being surrounded by water that country somehow has a good amount of illegal border (channel?) crossings… deporting them just means they might find a way back.
@MarcoFoster_@ShawnRyan762@ShawnRyanShow Huh? Go back to the pre-Trump days and compare and contrast. Shawn’s generally cool, but is falling for the foreign and lefty media manipulation/setup for their impeachment plans next year.
@aricnesbitt Every school district would have to vote on that… you think that’d pass everywhere?
Not to mention the tax shifting that probably won’t go down well… forcing property owners into new districts with debt-loads and millages they never voted on before.
