For the AJC’s Politically Georgia: “Casey Cagle’s GOP gubernatorial campaign continued its long-running tangle with Brian Kemp on Twitter. It started when Kemp spokesman Ryan Mahoney tweeted his disbelief that Cagle visited Las Vegas for a fundraiser on Tuesday without meeting casino executives.”
So what did Cagle do, solicit coins from retirees working the slots on the floor?
If any of you have a subscription to the link below, check out the proposal for doubling the size of the Savannah Trade and Convention Center (it will have a hanger door and a halogen spray system to hold Gulfstream planes on a convention floor). The tower is a large hotel space. As is the case with any large set of conceptual plans, nothing is really labeled. However, the hotel has a huge loading area and a floor plan in a typical casino level resort…
My Question – will the FAA allow parts of the racetrack on the Island to be accessible to landing planes if the approach parallels the river, is next to a bridge and fly’s less then 1000 feet over one of the largest LNG storage areas on the East Coast?

Today is the 74th anniversary of D-Day. Ike’s pre-invasion message to the troops: “I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle.” Ike’s confidence was justified.
Interesting story involving Ranked Choice Voting.

Well now…Drip, drip, drip

How Pro-Clinton of him to defy DOJ protocol and release his Letter to Congress days before the election insuring the likelihood of a second imperial Clinton dynasty instead of keeping quiet on the investigation like he was required to (and did) on the Trump campaign members having contact with possible foreign agents. You can see how he defied DOJ rules by not allowing AG Lynch to read, edit and approve his July findings on the email so everyone would know Lynch rigged the report (yes Noway, that is sarcasm).
Ironically, if he had followed the exact letter of the rules, you Noway would raging right now for all his help and bias for the Clinton.
So which hissy fit are you having, Comey breaking DOJ protocol to not look like he swayed an election, or that his should have followed protocol and make Clinton look like she had Comey and the DOJ in the back pocket of her suit?
Which fit? Whichever one works at that moment.
President ‘A’ commutes a life sentences of a federal prisoner with a nonviolent drug related offense who has served over 20 years, has been a model prisoner and in the opinion of the federal prison board is not considers a risk to society. President ‘A’ is lauded as being merciful; and praised for his efforts at being pro-prison reform and righting the wrongs of harass sentences.
President ‘B’ commutes a life sentences of a federal prisoner with a nonviolent drug related offense who has served over 20 years, has been a model prisoner and in the opinion of the federal prison board is not considers a risk to society. President ‘B”‘is harshly criticized for letting harden criminals back on the streets to start dealing drugs again, maybe become involved in gangs like MS-13, possable kill someone, endangering the general welfare of the enter country.
I need a Trumper to explain the difference to me…
I already knew how you would explain this.
You two are funny! Please tell me who Obama pardoned and I’ll give genuine Noway response! Rent-free is fun, though!
Of course it is. You’re a troll.
Doc, really, you’ve been in the game long enough to keep getting surprised by a viscous Peristaltic Rush!! Wipe off!
I ask for a Trumpter. Last I checked your not the lone Trumpter here, but I can let take the reigns of this…
Policing is only part of it. Prosecution and laws and sentencing are others. I think that goes without saying from you, but others, no.
But what would I not like about that particular pardon? Gimme some background!
ZZzzzzzzzz….You just keep giving hypothetical Noway responses. Hey, can you search for Maggots Who Got What They Deserved… And post it for me in the am? I’m unavailable until about noon. Don’t want to keep the fans waiting!
That’s the point. The women who’s sentence was commuted today has a similar history and sentences to the 61 or so drug related prisoners Obama commuted (the majority of who were out of jail and on probation, between 2013-2016. Look back at any hardcore conservative pro Trump media outlet between July of 2015 – even as late as last week when D’Sonsa was pardon (not even a commuted sentence A FULL PARDON), you would swear Attila the Hun was let lose to mass murder us all before Trump came to power to stop the criminal madness (yes that is sarcasm again). But today the Trump media is so quiet the crickets are looking at each other going WTH.
Rush is boring and so is Sean Vannity. They have no effect on me. I don’t get how anybody can respect Vannity, he is a classic entertainer without the smarts. He used to love the establishment and now he is a Trumper? He gives more wake-up surprises to Trump than Melania.
I listen to NPR, Hugh Hewitt and even Michael Savage although I know his show is a just that. Sometimes Erick and Michael Medved, too.
Why didn’t Obama pardon Jack Johnson? Why was is left to a white guy to do that? Didn’t O wanna help a brutha out??
Because he would have been accused of helping a brother out.
Why didn’t Reagan, Bush, Clinton, or Bush do it either?
Don’t know. But The Great Man stepped up, didn’t he? MAGA!!
