I’m far from an expert but my understanding is it’s not actually oxy, it’s Mexican cartel-made counterfeit oxy, and they make it partly with fentanyl because it’s cheaper and/or easier.
He was in a tough spot but the best move there was to just put up Christie. That way you either take out one of the strongest players in that alliance or you get rid of her power.
They actually did do most of the voice acting alongside the people they were in the scene with but I agree it doesn’t really sound like it a lot of the time.
What makes you think we paid for the road already with taxes? At least in the Austin area, the construction costs for toll roads are paid for by selling bonds, which are then paid back with toll revenues.
Hate to break it to you man but Prop 1 didn't even prohibit the creation of new toll roads, let alone say existing tolls must be removed. Prop 1 diverted existing revenues to road building/maintenance but only that newly diverted revenue can't be spent on toll roads.
I think it’s just really tough to pull off. It’s hard to repeatedly protect someone you’re not publicly working with without drawing suspicion from the people you are publicly working with. It’s also hard to build trust with someone if you’re not spending a lot of time getting to know them and working together.
I would think they would have just announced the cause had it been something like a car wreck or homicide. I'd imagine suicide, overdose, or some random medical condition like an aneurysm.
This financial cliff they’ve created is Republicans’ insurance policy against a Dem takeover. If Dems actually were to win some statewide power in 2-4 years, they’ll be forced to either support a tax increase or to roll back the teacher pay increases. If Republicans keep power, they’ll just cut women’s healthcare some more or something else white evangelicals don’t care about to make up the gap.
Politically, I think it would be a bad move for Dems to impeach in the House (although if there was enough momentum for him to actually be removed by the Senate, then that political calculus probably changes).
But it would also be the right and lawful thing to do.
