So...
Governor, State AG, Fed Senate, etc... nothing from outside the state
County Commissioner, County Judge, etc... nothing from outside county
Basically if you can legally vote for them then you can donate to them.
I'd be VERY supportive of that but my initial speedbump that I see is that instead of Soros/Koch Bros Writing a check to Beto/Abbott for Gov PAC they instead write a check to the Texas ACLU/Texas Chamber of Commerce who then turn around and write checks.
That would mean Soros would be using a straw donor and he would go to jail like Dinesh did.ChipFTAC01 said:LOYAL AG said:I'd be OK with that.chjoak said:I've mentioned in other threads but I think there needs to be election fundraising reform in ALL states that says any given candidate cannot receive donations from a person or business residing outside that candidates district.LOYAL AG said:I have a real problem with the volume of out of state money that we've seen flow into this guys election coffers.

These Brittney Griner negotiations are the 1st time a trade for a WNBA player has ever been covered by mainstream media.

To paraphrase Reagan, a recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Joe Biden loses his.

Top Alternative Words To Use When You Can't Say 'Groomer'
Big Tech is cracking down! Facebook and Tik Tok have already banned the use of the word "groomer", and this week Twitter followed suit, evidently perceiving "groomer" as a slur on the LGBTQ+ community. If you're concerned that people who normalize sexualizing young children plan to escalate into more sinister activities, you still need a way to explain your concerns. To that end, here are some alternatives to the word "groomer!"That's it. Now go forth and call out groomers or rather, Gender Inclusivity Education Professionals!
- 6r00mer Sneak right past the algorithm!
- Minorphile As a bonus, it sounds erudite.
- Public School Teacher No offense to the several dozen non-grooming public school teachers out there.
- Person of Grooming This is the politically correct term.
- --. .-. --- --- -- . .-. Morse code is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
- Roomer-Gay Linguists say pig latin predates morse code and it's fancier!
- Gender Mentoring Advisor To provide intimate counseling "away from the prying eyes of those pesky parents."
- Epsteinian For the local teacher hoping to out-Jeffrey Jeffrey by assembling an army of underage sex slaves.
- Child Abusist It sounds so polite.
- Aunt Tifa We're not sure where the algorithm stands on blue-haired teachers who moonlight as communist pedophile thugs, but use this now in case Big Tech bans "Antifa" as a slur too!
- Windowless Van Aficionado People who drive these to their "family-friendly drag reading events" probably hope to scale into less family-friendly territory.
- Genital Relocation Logistics Coordinator The more inflated the title, the more likely it is you're looking at a groomer.
- Politician We all know what you're up to, Congressman.
- Person who has age-inappropriate sexual conversations with other people's kids for the purpose of preparing or training them to be more easily exploited by political idealogues, gender extremists, and pedophiles If only there were a single word to describe that...
