Darn. Well he'll look good in an orange suit.

ARNOLD, Mo. (KMOV.com) - Arnold police are investigating an unusual incident that occurred at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car location in the 3900 block of Jeffco Boulevard last Thursday.
According to Lt. Clinton Wooldridge, two employees became dizzy and shaky and didn’t know why. The workers were taken to an urgent care center and then transferred to Mercy Hospital South.
Wooldridge said officers questioned a 19-year old male employee and he admitted putting LSD in the water bottles of two co-workers and a third employee’s coffee cup. Police said the man told them he did it because his fellow employees had “negative energy.”
The "negative energy" is all his.

Hey, Portland made the list!

The period of Lent is a holy time on the Christian calendar, marked by self-reflection and the examination of one’s life, choices and habits.
Today, many observe this period by voluntarily foregoing certain earthly luxuries or vices in an effort to emerge on the other end an improved person.
For Del Hall of Cincinnati, Ohio, that luxury is solid food.
When Lent began March 6, Hall initiated a fully liquid diet in order to become less dependent on fatty foods and sugar.
Only, the fluid he settled on consuming to provide his greatest sustenance is beer.
Hey, he lost 25 pounds!

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
Maxine Waters still believes the “Kremlin Klan” won the White House for President Trump, despite the evidence indicating otherwise.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Monday charged lawyer Michael Avenatti for attempting to extort more than $20 million from Nike.
According to the criminal complaint, Avenatti met in March 2019 with attorney for Nike and threatened to release damaging information about the company if Nike didn't make millions in payment to himself and an unnamed co-conspirator. Avenatti also allegedly demanded that Nike pay $1.5 million to an individual he claimed to represent.
"I'll go take $10 billion dollars off your client's market cap...I'm not f***ing around," Avenatti said, according to the complaint.

When Democrats return to town this week, at the top of their to-do list is to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. The bill is intended to address the so-called wage gap, or the Census Bureau data showing that women working full time earn 80 percent of what men earn.
Democrats have been trying to pass this bill for 20 years—and it shows. The bill is an antiquated, ham-handed approach to a problem that surveys tell us is not nearly as pervasive as Democrats claim. Moreover, the data makes clear that—and this is shocking, so prepare yourselves—women have different preferences and priorities than men, and make employment decisions accordingly. The wage gap, it turns out, is actually more of a choice gap. (That’s not just my assertion, these Harvard scientists back it up.)
How idiotic.
They make the choice, they get to live with it. Nobody forced them into it.

It was reported weeks ago that Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignored for six years the back taxes she owes from 2012. In spite of promising the taxes would be paid pronto, lawyers are now involved.
According to the New York Post, AOC owes $1877.56 in unpaid corporate taxes–not an unmanageable amount by any means, so why is it that it still hasn’t been paid?
💥AOC wants you to pay more taxes, but won’t pay hers!
That seems to be the story with so many liberals!
Ocasio-Cortez still hasn’t paid tax bill from failed business venture https://t.co/DmitjqeBWl via @nypmetro
