State Legislature

These are the kind of morons running our state

Want to know why South Dakota is dead last in almost every economic category, because we have morons like this running our state government.

While I understand State Auditor Rich Saddass is a proud Repug, why would you share this stupid meme that has been around for years! I also like how the quote perfectly describes Donny T., you know the convicted felon, rapist, adulterer, and racist running for president.

Instead of sharing awful memes that have been around for years, maybe you need to do your job and turn over Noem’s nail and hair salon receipts. The story in Pierre is that the AG told Saddass turn them over because he had no legal authority to hide them from the public. While I am not sure if that convo took place, we know Mr. Jackboots isn’t a big fan of Noem ever since she handed him his ass in the primaries after he tried to cover up sexual harassment at the DCI.

While some may think there is a tropical island that is actually floating garbage, the real GARBAGE PIT is in Pierre.

When I worked at the Pavilion, the comedian Carrot Top came and when he was setting up his props on stage before the show he asked if I could help him with a punchline. He asked me, “What is the most white trash city in South Dakota?” I laughed and said, “That list is very long sir.” He says, “C’mon, there has to be a town that is the most white trash.” I giggled and said, “Fort Pierre.” He used the punchline and it got gobs of laughs.

It’s time to send Sue ‘Holy Water’ Peterson packing

I could go on and on about how awesome Ali Rae is, but most people already know that. I am here to plead with you to vote for Ali Rae and NOT Sue Peterson in District 13. Sue has consistently supported legislation that moves our state backwards but no surprise from person who has to pour holy water on state taxpayer owned property before having a meeting. Talk to any lobbyist in Pierre and they will tell you Sue Peterson is the most disliked legislator in Pierre because of her RADICAL NEO-CON policies and beliefs and her unwillingness to be Bi-Partisan in solving our state’s challenges. District 13 used to be a good district for Dems but it was gerrymandered into Lincoln county so we all know the battle to win this seat by a Democrat is a stretch and with so many Trump supporters in South Dakota it’s hard road to win as a Democrat. So I encourage people who support Ali Rae to give her money, volunteer for her, make calls for her, anything to send Sue packing.

An Exercise in Futility

This is what I call statewide elections in this state.

We go to the polls, elect a bunch of right winger block heads that create laws that no one really wants, never provide tax relief and take more rights and liberties* from us. Oh, but we correct all this by voting for referendums and initiatives that are progressive YET install conservative lawmakers. It is baffling.

*There is a progressive movement (not sure if Harris is on board) to rid ALL states of right to work laws thru Federal regulation.

Just look at the ballot measures. Not sure of the polling, but I am sure the new abortion law will pass, the open primaries will pass (the only vocal opposition is the party bosses, call a whaaaabulance), food tax cut will pass, Medicaid work requirement will fail and likely the referred law will get voted down.

So how is it that we continue to elect weirdos who pass very bad laws while keeping taxes high and throw cold water on them with the referendums?

It is an exercise in futility.

I hope with the passage of Open Primaries we can root some of these clowns out of the legislature.

EARLY VOTING IS A GOOD THING

We all know taking political advice from this guy is just a pass thru from his investor;

I know some people have this attitude that early voting is bad. I have never understood it. I have early voted probably over the past 15 years with a few exceptions. I will do the same today. My reason? If I have an emergency on election day, I already voted. I also have no idea where my musical precincts are each election. I have had my mind made up for months, so why not vote? The best part is NO LINES! I usually am in and out in 5 minutes or less.

When people tell you to not early vote, first ask them their benign reasoning then tell them to GFT!
