Just woke up from my cat nap to see that convicted serial child fondler David Arthur Kendall is back on Twitter.
And @TheMaineWire's middle aged 4chan troll friend, Richard Coffron aka @unquirer) is excited to get involved with him. πΈ

In Kendall's numerous videos, he has also admitted to molesting more children than just the one that he was convicted for.
Let's thank @TheMaineWire and @unquirer for making this pedophile feel so comfortable. πΈπΈπΈ

And let us not forget that David Arthur Kendall was originally brought to Maine by Mike Heath, creator of the "Fa****s are Maggots tour" and former director of the Maine Christian Civic League.

It's hopeful that so many people contacted the Presque Isles schools about Kendall. We don't have the luxury to pretend these people don't exist, they wrote the goddamn amendment to the Maine GOP's platform. #mepolitics
This is very disturbing. Chalk one up for @mainegop and Maine First Project. Unfortunately it appears that their resident child predator, David Arthur Kendall was allowed to speak at the Presque Isle school board meeting last night. #mepolitics
Just got confirmation from a parent who emailed the school. Maine First Project's David Arthur Kendall was allowed to speak at the school board meeting after talking to the district attorney and letting law enforcement know . #mepolitics
This is going around again, so here's some important context to understand the number. The $12,366 does come from an official source (US Current Population Survey) but is almost certainly incorrect. A better source (American Community Survey) puts the increase at $213. #mepolitcs
The ACS is the official source for income & poverty numbers because the sample size is much larger than the CPS. ACS samples ~13,000 people in Maine. The CPS's annual economic supplement includes just ~1,200. So the results are much more prone to error.
ACS data - Median household income in Maine:
2017 = $56,227 (+/- 1,168)
2019 = $58,924 (+/- 1,758)
After adjusting for inflation, 2017 income = $58,711 in 2019 dollars. So an increase of $213.

Mayhew bitterly opposed Medicaid expansion, in defiance of all the experts and members of the public health community. She even vowed to repeal the voter-approved law if elected governor #mepolitics

But before that, Mayhew kicked 25,000 poor and near-poor Mainers off the state's existing Medicaid program #mepolitics

Hey #mepolitcs...Since I'm stuck for a bit, want to go with me on a journey?
Let's picture what the job and future elections looks like if I win.
Aka, what can you expect from a rep who does not perma-campaign.

In this hypo traditional campaigning requires around $1+ million per year to get and/or keep a house seat (plus all the other energy you have to expend to keep the peanut gallery PACs happy).
Let's assume they're at it 5 days/week and take a couple weeks off per year.

$1,000,000/50/5 = $4,000/day
Whew, that's a fundraising nut!
How much energy do you think it takes to rake in an extra $500 each work hour while doing important stuff like making laws?
That's more per hour than you make for the actual job. How would you prioritize?
