Who is Alex Pires?

Best known for: suing McDonald's on behalf an elderly woman with 3rd degree burns on her genitals from hot coffee

Little known for: representing plaintiffs in Pigford II (you either get this one or you don't)

Who is Alex Pires? (2/2)

Currently owns about half of the sleepy little Delaware vacation hamlet I love so dearly, Dewey Beach.

His venues employ some of the most talented working musicians on the east coast.

Not all heroes wear capes.

To game this out, Highway One owns 5 live music venues featuring as many as 12 shows a week.

A typical weekend cover band gig in Dewey pays ~$20k, solos $1k

They're booked through Labor Day. He's going to pay them even if the venue never opens.

Y'all know what the hold up was on the corona relief bill, don't you?

The House version didn't have the Hyde Amendment and the Republicans wouldn't pass it and Trump wouldn't sign it without it and they overruled Mnuchin.

I'll give you a second to process this.

I'm pretty irate myself.

But this what you might call "a teachable moment."

Not about reproductive health policy, about Capitol Hill.

I am staunchly pro-choice. I do not like Hyde. I was a clinic escort in the 90's.

Stating this for the record. I got some bad press a while back for defending Nancy's position that so-called "pro-life" Democrats make the party stronger.

Dear Alexandria Ocasio-Kardashian:

It's really tough to suppress the white vote. If we knew how to do that, the world would be an entirely different place.

How did "The Establishment" manage to suppress only the votes that would have gone for Bernie?

1/
We asked the same question after the Maricopa county debacle and the Brooklyn purge in 2016.

We never got an answer, but Bernie-land insists to this day that Hillary found a way.

2/
There was record turnout Wednesday, including the college counties you're up in arms over. Plenty of students managed to cast a ballot despite the indignity of standing in line. No, it's not ideal, but when something is important, you do what you have to do, then fix it later.

Also note that Biden is now "the lesser of two evils"

Rinse, repeat.

They're digging in.

1) This year, 2019, marks an important centennial anniversary in America—but it is one that not only are we not celebrating, it’s also a significant moment most of us aren’t even aware of: the 100th anniversary of the Red Summer of 1919.

2) Warning: This is an extremely long 150-tweet thread. It contains some violent images involving lynching, generally held to a minimum. The text is horrifying. It’s a history lesson—and not one for the faint of heart. You can decide if the subject warrants the unusual length.
3) There are reasons we do not commemorate the events of those months. Nearly all of them have to do with the deep shame that lingers for one of the darkest, most violent moments in American history—not to mention the monstrousness it reveals.

@powerlineUS Shrinking violets don’t become presidential contenders. Still, even at the highest level of overweening ambition, Elizabeth Warren stands out. She has clawed her way to the top by hook and by crook. One of her favorite techniques is the bald-faced lie.
@powerlineUS As an academic, she is best known for an article claiming that medical crises are largely responsible for personal bankruptcies. Warren’s article has been used (as she no doubt intended) to promote socialized medicine, but it has been thoroughly debunked.

The Dude is probably going to die very soon.

The #MemoryCare and our hospice service are managing his discomfort.

We told him that he doesn't have to worry about anything, that he can just rest as much as he needs to.

Waiting for someone to die is a strange thing, like a trip into a parallel universe, outside of time.

Without Penny our house is quiet.

And this moment is extra silent, like when you wake up to a thick blanket of snow in the middle of the night.
#Disability #SpoonieChat #Alz
I think it's the quiet that wakes me up on those snowy nights. Or is it the brightness of street lights and the moonlight bouncing up off the snow?

But that spell is always broken by shovels scraping, blowers growling, or car doors slamming.
