These people are not risk free they are simply cheap.

That's the beauty, the supply of cheap idiots dries up pretty quickly when they realize they are gonna face real charges and not get their Soros bail-bucks

Hawaii is way too valuable to NOT be a state. It is key to the Navy's dominance in the Pacific.

I've completely got off the pro sports. No idea where the Astros or Rockets are in the standings. Didn't even get the NBC package to watch the Tour de France, which I've done for the past several years.

Instead I'm fly fishing and riding my on bicycle with the guys. Way better, and I can still have chicken wings and beer without the games.
