    Just watched a little of that rebuttal. Holy shit. That's amazing. I'd recommend the first minute and then skip to around 8:30 and watch for a minute. 

    Edit: Around 11:30 gets good too. Smiling and laughing about Tik-Tok, straight into unbridled anger.

  2. Skout Taphouse and Provisions in Ashland is good. Last time I was there they had stuff from The Alchemist in the fridge.

    The wine country is to the west in the Applegate Valley. Two wineries I recommend are Quady North and Troon.

    Where did Garza’s funding come from? Multiple news orgs covering the “10 donors who have a history of contributing to Republicans.” but very little coverage on anything Garza related. It’s always great when local media goes all out in their investigatory duties to cover issues only in a single direction.

    From the same article:

    Garza’s January filing was much less interesting (no George Soros donations this round). He took in just over $39,000 – perhaps because he entered the primary with a mountain of cash on hand. He spent $112,000, which left him with about $158,000 in cash as of Jan. 25.

    Garza’s largest donations were for $5,000 and he received three of them. One from John Dismukes, a co-owner of the Armadillo World Headquarters, one from local criminal defense attorney Brad Vinson, and one from local healthcare attorney Carlos Zaffirini. All three have a history of contributing to national and state level Democrats. Zaffirini has also given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans

    And not all of West Austin wants Garza to lose. He received $2,600 from the same two ZIP codes that funded more than one-third of Sylestine’s campaign in January – including three $500 donations from West Lake residents.

    Nobody knew who he was and then that Austin Chronicle article about funding turned the narrative. In which *checks notes* three people with a history of giving to GOP candidates gave to Sylestine for a total of $58K.

    Only $58,000, huh?

    I voted against Garza, and I'm no Republican. Yes, "Red" money targeted him, but voting for Garza just because Rs opposed him makes you no better than the Rs who continue to support Trump simply because he's on their same team.

     

    No, it makes you a lot fucking better than someone who supports Trump.
