Two-faced Tom

This sounds just like Sonny Perdue telling Wisconsin farmers to get big or go away. Why do farmers support these guys?

***EDIT***
Terrible Tom's record says this is true. He's for cuts to food aid programs, which ends up hurting farmers. Small farmers the most. He is a cheerleader for Trump Tariffs (Taxes) that have ended up causing farmers to lose customers for their products, and increasing the overall cost of farming. So if you think that it's bad that he didn't actually say it, fine I guess. But, watch what they do, not what they say. I hope all of you voting for Tom, are willing to eat the additional costs of groceries, fuel, consumer goods, repairing or replacing your vehicle, etc. Cause that's what you're voting for. Let me know when you get all those Tariff, DOGE and bribe for voting Republican checks in the mail. Did you also like how the Trump Administration paid for campaign ads to be rerun on TV for the low low cost of a reported $11 million dollars of our taxpayer money?

I didn't make this meme, but Tom's actions have made it true if you want to believe it our not. Don't come crying to me when you have to pull food out of your cart at the store because you can't afford it anymore.

The USDA has a page where you can download farm aid payments excel files for every year dating back to 1995. Now you can go ahead and Pepe Silvia yourself figuring out who all the parent companies are who receive the most in payouts, but it isn't going to be the small Wisconsin family dairy farms near the top.

The 2011 maps were drawn in a law firm's "map room" and Republican legislators had to sign a confidentiality agreement before they could see their own districts

All of this is in the court record from the lawsuits.

Draft maps had names like "Joe's Basemap Assertive" and "Tad Aggressive."

There was a spreadsheet called "Tale of the Tape" with a list of "GOP Donors to the Team." Not money. It meant Republicans in safe seats who gave up some of their voters to help other districts.

One state senator sent this in: "If you need a way to take the Staskunas seat, put a little bit of my Senate seat into New Berlin (2–3 wards could make that a GOP Assembly seat)."

They tested the final map before passing it and it kept a majority with 48% of the vote. Next election Republicans got 48.6% and 60 of 99 seats. In 2018 Evers won the state and carried 36 of the 99 Assembly districts.

The staff testified it wasn't about partisan advantage. The judges called that "almost laughable."

Watching the Brewers on TV

So what channel are you all watching the playoffs on? And what streamer or whatever are you using to get there?

We're new in the area and trying to cut the cable cord (and co$t), so have only Google TV, Apple+, Disney+, and Prime. I tried to catch the White Sox earlier but I'm not about to sign up for a whole 'nother streamer for $45 a month, thank you so much, tbs.

Tammy Baldwin talks about introducing a bill to make it mandatory to show local sports teams on free local broadcasts. I tell you what, she's got my vote.

Tiffany Canvasser Reeked of weed

Title: had a Tiffany canvasser in my neighborhood today and I was past him while on a walk and he reeked of weed. Just had to laugh at the irony of who he is working for.
