Stacey Abrams is running. Running from this.
1) Its an IRS complaint filed by a conservative group that spends most of its time harassing Hillary Clinton. In other words, consider the source.
2) As someone who does a little bit of ethics and campaign finance law, I can tell you that this is a really weak complaint.
3) What do I mean? We’ll let’s look at the allegation that the organization took out a Super Bowl ad to “showcase Abrams to Georgia voters.” For starters, she was already showcased by her statewide campaign for Governor. Secondly, the ad (which I just re-watched) is very clearly about the organization and its “Fair Elections Now” campaign. To assert that it’s trying to showcase Abrams is just as dumb as asserting that it’s trying to showcase the Republican lawmaker who appeared in the ad with her.
4) I can fart in a crowded elevator and file a formal complaint blaming it on Brian Kemp. Doesn’t make my allegations true.

Yes, I believe that you would.
If Brian Kemp farted in a crowded elevator he would surely blame it on someone else.
Did anything ever come of this or is it still an ongoing investigation? https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/georgia-2018-abrams-faces-ethics-complaint-over-book-promotion/T9J90pgHZwJcf6KXN0UC1N/
Gasp! Using a political campaign to plug book sales, a reality television show, or hotel licensing deals… who would ever have thought of such a dastardly deed?!

We better hurry because in 6 months we will need to have a partner that is transgender as well. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-women-on-boards/ This is ridicules government needs to stay out of private corporations lives. Meanwhile in Tennessee https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/breakingnews/story/2019/mar/22/tennessee-gov-bill-lee-backs-bill-bars-local-governments-favoring-companies-based-pay-policies/491162/
Not only are bradford pears an invasive species, they also put out brittle branches that are like a hand grenade with the pin halfway pulled out. The branches grow across each other, making them prone to falling, usually on nearby automobiles, houses, and other valuable assets. And, yet, the Georgia Department of Transportation has planted any number of them on I-85 North inside of I-285. I’ve cut down three of them so far, which got them off of my property. The first cutting was, far and away, the most enjoyable one since just about everybody in the neighborhood that had a chain saw came out to slice and dice. By the time they got tired of it, there wasn’t a stick of bradford pear larger than a hammer handle left.
Regarding the Bradford Pears: there have been a bunch of articles recently about them crossing with other trees and ending up as wild plants with thorns that will puncture tractor tires. The SC Forestry Commission is one agency asking all SC residents to get rid of them.
