Donations of deer semen make up majority of contributions in Texas candidate’s race: report
A candidate in the race for a South Texas state House seat has reportedly received $87,500 in campaign donations, more than half of which is made up of deer semen donations
Think of it as a barter instead of direct cash. The candidate gets the deer semen as a campaign donation and they hire someone to auction it off for the cash. It’s Texas, apparently deer semen is in high demand for breeding deer.
Thank you for sharing the back story you found, Meta. It is beautiful. As we all know here, there is some special quality (love?) in the Obamas that reaches out to children (and to the ‘pure of heart’?) – even through paintings of them. Heck, it has reached through the computer & TV screen for years to the corners of the world, so why wouldn’t it come through their painting! 🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I believe this tragedy has awaken women, kids, and hopefully men who cannot let Russia and the insane Republicans destroy our country. Democrats and people who never ran for office are stepping up.

DonaldTrump suddenly turned US foreign policy against our (counter-ISIS partner) Quatar just weeks after its govt refused to bail Jared out of $1.5B in debt on 666 Fifth Ave. This stinks to high heaven. We have a crime family running our country and risking our nation’s security.

Morning everyone. I hope they all rot in jail. Soon.
I’m not sure we’re quite absorbing that major and in some cases quite dangerous foreign policy decisions were likely made in the interests of securing loans to save the Kushner family fortune.
Nothing happens. They ALL have dirty money issues and they are all hiding behind their big money donors. Nothing will get done, nor will we move in a positive direction until and unless we vote every one of these crooked sob’s out. FOR GOOD.
I completely disagree with him. I remember the Qatar example when it was happening in real time, and totally connected it to Kushner. But, it was the ‘fringe’ folks in the media connecting the dots back when it actually happened. Folks brought up our soldiers and the base when it happened.
Same thing after we read the story of Jared going over and having a ‘slumber party’ with the new Prince of Saudi Arabia.

I decided to start my afternoon’s viewing by looking through my Christmas gift copy of ‘Dream Big Dreams’. After looking and grinning along, I had the idea to check online if there was any update re Jacob P. – the kid who touched PBO’s hair. This is what I found…
Washington State passed FOUR pro-voter measures this week! (Washington Voting Rights Act, Same Day Registration, Pre-Registration for 16 & 17 Year Olds, and Automatic Voter Registration) Great to see states taking the lead in preserving and furthering our democracy!
Dem leadership need to EDUCATE up and coming voters on why it’s important that local government is also run by Democrats…they should use WA state, CA as examples.
“You’re just voting for the lesser of the two evils.” WRONG! There is only one overwhelmingly clear “evil!” I’ll give you a hint; it is the same party the KKK and Neo-Nazis easily find like-minded candidates. #conservative#Democrats#NeverTrumppic.twitter.com/c4VpdGumqc
And before the usual RW suspects trot out their pictures of Hillary hugging ex-KKK Robert Byrd, and saying that Repub freed the slaves, etc.: they need constant rebuttal to remind people that the racist “Dixiecrats” jumped the Dem ship and boarded the SS GOP when LBJ signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act into law.
They can associate Dems with the KKK all they want, but they ignore that very basic fact.
And the bottom line is that David Duke, the KKK, and the other white nationalist movements are ALL behind Republicans and Trump today for good reason: Trump is their best bet to deliver on Making America White Again.

President Trump is pushing congressional Republicans not to fund a crucial infrastructure project — a long-delayed plan to build a new rail tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey — setting up a confrontation that could complicate passage of a massive government spending bill this month.
Trump personally appealed to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) this week to target federal funding for the $30 billion Gateway project, which would construct a tunnel into New York’s Penn Station to supplement two aging tubes that are at risk of failing in the coming years.
The project is widely considered to be among the most pressing and most expensive infrastructure needs in the country, and state and local leaders have long sought federal funding to jump-start work on it. But the Trump administration threw the project into doubt late last year by casting aside an agreement reached during the Obama administration that would have the federal government pick up half the project’s cost.

To put this in perspective: I know for sure in Obama admin, and I believe under GWB / Clinton too, as a reporter I couldn’t even *buy a lunch* for senior WH or agency officials, because the $18 tab would be “inappropriate” for them to accept. (Had to split the bill, always.) https://t.co/YV33GrXXhL
