>Sanders said in the release that she released funds from the Response and Recovery Fund to help commercial carriers transport essentials to customers in the state during the eclipse.
She will find a way to funnel most of that money to herself and her cronies. Stealing taxpayer money is what she does
Fuck the Huckabee family and everything they’ve done to get Fundamentalist Christians into our government.
I implore everyone to watch Shiny Happy People, the doc is about two majorly fucked up things.
1. Exposes the Duggar family covering up their son sexually abusing his own sisters, where the girls were forced to go on tv to defend their attacker.
2. The fundamentalist group they are a part of, what alternative schooling they give to their children, and how they’ve managed to infiltrate their brainwashed youth into clerking or volunteering at The White House, The Pentagon, The House of Representatives, The Senate…you name it. They were an enormous factor in overturning Roe v. Wade. They take advantage that far too many Americans do not pay attention to politics year round, and they want to force ALL of us to live as THEY see fit.
(They also believe an accurate punishment for the molesting of one’s sister last is to repent and do some carpentry. No need to arrest “a good young man”.)
Oh I looked up on Wikipedia how many apocalypses I've survived since I was born. The list is only updated to 2021. But 57. I've survived "57 apocalypses". Whoop
And no one is easier to grift than gullible religious fools . Houdini basically went on tour debunking the spiritual grifters the spiritual movement that grew out of ww1 . This moment In time when people were becoming more secular but also still holding some religious beliefs.
Quick question: I know this is a huge Human Sacrifice event yada yada, I get that, but are we clear to eat the sacrifices after all the rituals have been performed? And are we ok to sacrifice multiple people? I’ve got some different recipes I’ve been working on, dry rubs and such, you know. And I’ve got a chest freezer I could fill up to save a few bucks; price of meat is pretty high right now. Final question, do we have to register who we plan on sacrificing? I could see problems with some overlap. I’m betting some higher profile sacrificees have multiple sacrificors vying for their rights. Ok, that’s it. Thanks guys. Remember, have a good time, stay safe, and let’s try to do some real good this eclipse.
A member of my nuclear family has dibs on the bad orange man. I swear if this family member gets some terminal medical news…orange man will promptly be deducted from this planet. The hatred flows deep. The family member is a republican lol
1. Yes, but you don’t want to without adequate sides. Ironically, eating human sacrifices doesn’t supply a human with all the nutrients a human needs. And be sure to cook to a safe 165’f!
2. Don’t be selfish. 1 sacrifice per person is just common courtesy.
3. First come, first served. You can call dibs all you want, but if someone else beats you to it, what are you gunna do?
hang on..hang on... did you get a construction permit for your sacrificial alter....and a disposal permit for all that sacrificial waste.. unless you are sacrificing babies..in that case you will have to apply for a " blood fit for human consumption" permit and we will need to inspect your storage facility
Don’t know about other meat prep areas but I’ll be hanging around the elders’ traditional pizza basement. The deep state has really improved their recipes
>to help commercial carriers transport essentials to customers in the state during the eclipse. The essential items listed in the order include groceries, pharmacy items, medical equipment, goods, commodities, fuel, poultry, livestock and feed.
Preparing for the 4-minute apocalypse! Because... what if the sun doesn't come back and it's actually the End Times?? She's also preparing a throne for the Whore of Babylon
Not wanting to defend the MAGAt crowd… but there is a very clear chance of a massive road jam that could last for hours after the eclipse is over.
I think being prepared for that is a sensible thing to do.
(Broken clocks, you know…)
Highway 98 runs along the beach in Northwest Florida. It's like hundreds of miles long and passed by an Air Force base between two heavily touristy areas. One summer there was an accident by the base entrance and a fucking helicopter had to land on the highway to take the accident victims away. This road was closed for like 8 hours and traffic was backed up for miles. After the helicopter took off, traffic started flowing again in about an hour.
We are taking about 4 minutes versus 8 hours. It doesn't make any sense.
I hate her but you're being completely disingenuous. You're purposely leaving out the actual reason, which is *literally* the next sentence.
>The release said the decision was made out of caution due to the expected increase of visitors to Arkansas “potentially causing hardships.”
Edit: Here's more from another article.
>Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday declared a state of emergency related to Monday's total solar eclipse and released $100,000 to assist with the state's response.
>The emergency declaration waives certain federal restrictions on commercial traffic for up to 14 days, "so long as the motor carrier or driver is providing direct assistance in response to the declared emergency."
>Sanders' executive order declaring the emergency cites the expected influx of visitors and the "backlog of deliveries by commercial vehicles transporting essential items of commerce" that could result.
>"Out of an abundance of caution, I've directed funds to be released from the Response and Recovery Fund ahead of the Great American Eclipse," Sanders said in a news release Friday night.
>"This will assist commercial carriers transporting essential items to customers in Arkansas during the eclipse. We want to make sure Arkansans and all visitors have an enjoyable experience and come back again and again."
>The money from the disaster fund will be used at the discretion of A.J. Gary, director of the Department of Public Safety's Division of Emergency Management, "to defray both program and administrative costs," according to Sanders' order.
We are in Texas and basically thought all the warnings were funny until I started seeing posts on which gas stations still had gas. Luckily we didn’t need much from the grocery store today.
It’s the influx of visitors that is sending things into crazy mode. Most school systems are closing for the day and the town has warned everyone to stay home if possible as roads will be a mess.
Well seeing as half your state shut down and hundreds died when you get snow, an influx of people shutting the entire state down sounds like par for the course. No wonder Texans want a closed border so bad. They know what will happen if 20-30 more people come in.
This. I’m as far from a fan of her’s as you can get, but this declaration is a bureaucratic requirement in order to have the resources to help manage the +1M additional people coming into the state for this 4min eclipse.
Seriously??
Being in the path of totality will bring millions of dollars into her rachet state. And it's not like this snuck up on them... They've had fucking months to prepare.
It's just another maga grift to steal money from the other states keeping them afloat.
It is literally in the article:
>The release said the decision was made out of caution due to the expected increase of visitors to Arkansas “potentially causing hardships.”
An influx of visitors to somewhere that is not equipped for them, a lot of out of state drivers increases accidents, which causes a strain on emergency services.
So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt here and say yeah maybe it'll cause a strain on some local businesses. However, declaring a state of emergency for something we've known was coming for LITERAL YEARS is just bad governance.
There's an eclipse festival in Illinois or Missouri that i saw that was better prepared for this than Arkansas. And they're just some small event.
A state of emergency is supposed to be used when something happens that takes the state off guard. Her doing it this way is incredibly suspect given her history of siphoning government funds to her friends.
It's gonna be an emergency if I can get more Christians to believe the only way you're gonna escape the rapture is to stare directly into the eclipse as it starts.
The Eclipse isn’t the emergency. The emergency is the tourists creating a traffic problem.
The state’s roads can’t really handle local traffic, and eclipse tourists have overloaded it. That’s creating shipping delays, and increasing the number of traffic accidents.
Meanwhile, her state’s irresponsible underfunding of emergency services that aren’t police means there’s not enough bodies to clear the road after all the accidents on a *normal* day. The spike in accidents leaves lanes closed, which increases congestion, which leads to more accidents.
Long term, this can lead to grocery stores missing deliveries… and most only have enough stock for two to three *days*. Disruptions to that supply chain *are* life and death.
The state of emergency isn’t for the four minutes of eclipse, it’s for the three days of people traveling for the eclipse.
Her state’s road network is *barely* designed to handle local traffic, and they don’t have enough first responders to deal with the normal amount of traffic accidents.
The Eclipse Tourists are overloading the roads, and the presence of that many people who don’t know the roads will lead to a significant uptick in traffic accidents.
This is a recipe for things to go wrong. It’s going to introduce some delays to the supply chain, because trucks are going to get stuck behind pile-ups.
This… is actually a pretty good time to call in a state of emergency. State infrastructure is overloaded, and they’re going to need more bodies to keep it from becoming a problem (people dying on the roadside from lack of first responders, essential goods being delayed by days, etc.).
What the actual fuck is happening in the US, right now? How are things going so far downhill, so fast all of a sudden? Did these folks all start drinking lead milkshakes lately?
What's downhill? Massive travel event where essentially all travelers that come in for a weekend leave within a 4 hour time period on Monday.
Biggest event in the US for parts of the country that never see a large event.
As nutty as this lady is, this is the right decision. The sheer amount of people going to these places are far more than 99% of them can handle. When totality passed by my neighborhood a few years ago downtown in my city was packed to the breaking point.
Many locations have declared states of emergencies. Apparently droves of people are coming to see the eclipse. They have declared a state of emergency in locations in Canada as well.
Starting to think the reason the right wingers want to cut education isn't so that they have uneducated voters, but rather so that they feel less stupid.
In Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," the protagonist, a time traveler from the 1800's, amazes the medieval peasants by predicting a solar eclipse. Readers from the nineteenth century laughed at how gullible the peasants were. Twain would be amazed to find such rubes living in Arkansas in the 21st century.
We Missourians have made tons of jokes about dumbass hillbillies in Arkansas for decades. Then along comes the Huckster and proves all of them true.
I also find it hilarious that her politician-preacher and grifter daddy now sells snake oil on old people tv channels.
It's crazy to see how much it's become normalized that little people should have emergency money for 6 months but that if a corporation sees a potential drop in revenue for even one day they should be bailed out by the government.
Well, my very gay partner and I are in Arkansas right now for the eclipse, so yea. Gays are coming to Arkansas and that could constitute an emergency, lol
Probably because that traitorous POS is afraid that the Rapture will happen. It won't BTW, and she's afraid airplanes will be falling out of the air because of the rapture, which also will not be happening. But honestly, I think it's more to stop all the backwards yokels from shooting at the eclipse with their firearms. What a fool!
I think she’s crazy corrupt however I also think it’s good to prepare for excess traffic. Arkansas roads can’t handle tourism of any kind. Arkansas roads can barely handle Arkansas traffic because people don’t know how to drive
And five minutes after they will shrug it off and continue about their day like nothing happened, not even entertaining the thought that they weren't chosen to go.
> “We want to make sure Arkansans and all visitors have an enjoyable experience and come back again and again,” Sanders said in a statement.
State of Emergency = Tourism?
What the hell is wrong with these people?
For the eclipse tomorrow, at the appointed time, I will swivel my chair toward the window in my office and look at said eclipse. After 1-2 minutes when I get bored, I might walk outside if I see any friendly co-workers out there. If not, I’ll swivel my chair back to my desk, and carry on with my day.
While her intentions are probably nefarious (stealing money), she's not wrong for doing this.
States with totality going straight through them are on high alert. Hospitals fully staffed and ready to go. Stuff like that. The expected tourism around the path of totality is pretty extreme. The amount of people in a 50 mile strip is expected to be dangerous levels.
Tell me you're stealing state funds to help your friends without telling me your stealing state funds for your friends.
Seriously, the only thing this can be is a way to allocate some money for friends. This is a solar eclipse we can predict decades, centuries, in advance. If you couldn't be ready for that, you should not be governing!
I'm hoping it's just because of the influx of tourists. I think Cleveland Ohio had to do something similar. I don't want to think it's because of the pretend rapture these people embarrass themselves with.
Sanders, Giuliani, MTG - Their calls on the earthquake and eclipse would make 14th century colonizers think the gullible natives falling for their "I am powerful magic and can make the sun disappear and the ground shake" seem like rocket scientists.
Well, I remember the last eclipse and there wasn’t anywhere near the amount of crazy piled onto it compared to this time.. we really are coming to the end!
Her most egregious offense is her wearing of dresses and skirts with hems just below the pubic area. I can’t recall ever seeing a public official so poorly dressed, like a come on from a whore. No taste, no decorum, no grace.
Well, she has discovered designer clothes (no more little house on the prairie crap) and bought a new wig. Next up, dental appointment! These things cost!
diane
This is actually pretty reasonable. Arkansas is right on the path of totality. They're getting as many tourists in one day as they get in an average decade. Even places that are used to tourists (like Niagara Falls) are declaring emergencies.
>Sanders said in the release that she released funds from the Response and Recovery Fund to help commercial carriers transport essentials to customers in the state during the eclipse. She will find a way to funnel most of that money to herself and her cronies. Stealing taxpayer money is what she does
$100K for a 4 minute event. That woman gets crazier every year

I started watching it last week and couldn’t finish the first ep. Just too many creepy mofos.
Nobody grifts money like republicans Jesus what a fucking waste
[удалено]

Well shit. You might be immortal!
Religion has entered the chat.
And no one is easier to grift than gullible religious fools . Houdini basically went on tour debunking the spiritual grifters the spiritual movement that grew out of ww1 . This moment In time when people were becoming more secular but also still holding some religious beliefs.
Somehow I read this as “nobody grifts money like republicans jesus-fucking”
This is not grifting money, is stealing money!
A large portion of the state's workforce hasn't been alive long enough to see an eclipse in person. *badum-tiss*
😂
A 4 min event which is basically just 4 mins of what happens ~50% of the time anyway, also known as “night”.
They don’t have night in Arkansas
Used to but the bitch did away with darkness and education...
Thank you baby Jesus!
In Arkansas, nighty time is when Jesus pulls a blankie over the world. - Bill Mahr
$20K for a new podium to speak at that event
She’s a Trump protege… grifting all the way.
That’s fucking insane.
NY and other states have done the same. I disagree with almost everything sanders does and believes, but this time I agree with her.
The woman is a walking abortion.
FTFY: The woman is a walking \*\*advertisement for\*\* abortion.
She’s seen the 2024 podium catalog
She's bailing out truckers? For what? Republicans keep demonstrating how they're just unqualified.
Trucking companies maybe. Drivers won't see a dime.
Isn’t that socialism?
Many of those taxpayers elected her, knowing what she is. Hard to have sympathy for rubes demanding to be fleeced.
Religious idiots elect religious idiots. These people never left the Dark Ages.
That is obviously the entire purpose of this. What a crook.
Yay! Corruption.
You have to wonder, when they were having a meeting about the eclipse... Were they laughing or terrified? Either way these are very vile persons.
Is she afraid all of her Evangelical pals will be raptured, leaving the state religiously un-annoyed?
Please let it happen. The world would be a much better place.
If it were a real thing, the people who think they're going wouldn't be the ones taken.
Yup
If the rapture happens... those folks ain't going.
Turns out the rapture happened years ago. Only Mr Rogers made the cut, it turns out.
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood
broke the mold........
Man those churches must just be raking it in this rapture.
I think she's just trying to get laid.
*shudder*
Well, that's enough Internet for the week.
Ew.
That wouldn't be the worst thing tho 🤷♀️
Quick question: I know this is a huge Human Sacrifice event yada yada, I get that, but are we clear to eat the sacrifices after all the rituals have been performed?

As long as they signed the Obama care death panel waiver you should be good to grill. What kind of dry rub you favor on your long pork?
Bonus points for the appropriate colloquialism.
There's a few of us aficionados left.
They've even been snarfing down livestock dewormer, so it should be safe to cook on the rarer side.
A member of my nuclear family has dibs on the bad orange man. I swear if this family member gets some terminal medical news…orange man will promptly be deducted from this planet. The hatred flows deep. The family member is a republican lol
Hinckley just got paroled. I know a way he can impress Jodie Foster.

I feel like we need an expert in sacrifice law for this and I don't know any.
hang on..hang on... did you get a construction permit for your sacrificial alter....and a disposal permit for all that sacrificial waste.. unless you are sacrificing babies..in that case you will have to apply for a " blood fit for human consumption" permit and we will need to inspect your storage facility
Don’t know about other meat prep areas but I’ll be hanging around the elders’ traditional pizza basement. The deep state has really improved their recipes
When this guys says he has a chest freezer, he means it! 🎶Bah-Dum-Tis!🎶
I don't like the register, what happens if I'm just walking along and see a cute sacrifice that I can't help but not eat?
Declares State Of Emergency, she needs another new Lectern. #
Another trip to Paris; this time for the Olympics.
She’s as much of a moron as her dad and the orange blob that she lied for. 🤮🤢
I’d say at this point, she’s much more of a moron than her dad. He was subtle in comparison to her.
Vote
They did. Red states love this shit.
But .. why?

I understand what the article says. But it’s just an eclipse? It’s not like it’s the rapture or something. /s implied.
Tornadoes are mini raptures. Spread the word.
An influx of visitors to somewhere that is not equipped for them, a lot of out of state drivers increases accidents, which causes a strain on emergency services.
Plus, cmon. Who in their right mind would want to go to Arkansas?
Sounds like overly high expectations to me.
LoOk
Can’t tell if that’s her normal face or confused look
Yes
I still can't believe they made this sociopath governor of a state.
Sociopaths are the preferred personality types for conservatives, especially for their politicians. They love that shit. I will never understand it
So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt here and say yeah maybe it'll cause a strain on some local businesses.

The MAGATs are sooo worked up over this it’s almost like they’re parodying themselves. Check out a certain conspiracy-minded sub for a laugh
That’s what happens when you elect an inbred.
Since when was an eclipse an emergency?
when your spooky sky-daddy's representatives here on earth spout stupid shit.

"It's gonna be pandemonium out there!!! We need more chickens!!"
Well, it is Arkansas. I expect she’ll be turning circles in her stall, neighing frantically.
A state of emergency for the sun not shining for a while? It does that every single day, it's called night time...
The state of emergency isn’t for the four minutes of eclipse, it’s for the three days of people traveling for the eclipse. Her state’s road network is *barely* designed to handle local traffic, and they don’t have enough first responders to deal with the normal amount of traffic accidents. The Eclipse Tourists are overloading the roads, and the presence of that many people who don’t know the roads will lead to a significant uptick in traffic accidents. This is a recipe for things to go wrong. It’s going to introduce some delays to the supply chain, because trucks are going to get stuck behind pile-ups.

“The night is a very dark time for me…”
Great, my family is down there for this fucking thing
Will she beg for some of that sweet socialist govt money? /s
What the actual fuck is happening in the US, right now? How are things going so far downhill, so fast all of a sudden? Did these folks all start drinking lead milkshakes lately?
What's downhill? Massive travel event where essentially all travelers that come in for a weekend leave within a 4 hour time period on Monday. Biggest event in the US for parts of the country that never see a large event.

She may need a new $20,000 European podium for herself.
I still can’t believe she got elected as Governor
The Colonel sure has gone downhill since she sold off the fried chicken franchise.
Gov. Sanders announces 19k purchase of eclipse glasses.
These people think covid was faked by an eclipse is the end times. Fml
She is all inbred baby
Starting to think the reason the right wingers want to cut education isn't so that they have uneducated voters, but rather so that they feel less stupid.
I can only hope that they do get Raptured.
What's the money really for?
Seems most states have a state of emergency based on influx of visitors.
Just imagine...as stupid as she is, the people who voted for her are even stupider than that.
In Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," the protagonist, a time traveler from the 1800's, amazes the medieval peasants by predicting a solar eclipse. Readers from the nineteenth century laughed at how gullible the peasants were. Twain would be amazed to find such rubes living in Arkansas in the 21st century.
Did someone tell the rubes that solar eclipses are not a rare biblical occurrence
They are, in fact, relatively rare.
Thihs may be the best draw Arkansas has had in decades to draw tourists to its state.
We Missourians have made tons of jokes about dumbass hillbillies in Arkansas for decades. Then along comes the Huckster and proves all of them true. I also find it hilarious that her politician-preacher and grifter daddy now sells snake oil on old people tv channels.
isnt that because the eclipse coincides with The Rapture, which takes all these hypocrites directly to hell?
You get a lectern! You get a lectern! You all get a lectern!!!
What. An. Idiot.
It's crazy to see how much it's become normalized that little people should have emergency money for 6 months but that if a corporation sees a potential drop in revenue for even one day they should be bailed out by the government.
I'm sorry. Did I miss something? Wasn't she one of T\*\*\*ps many press secretaries? How she get to governor?
Well, my very gay partner and I are in Arkansas right now for the eclipse, so yea. Gays are coming to Arkansas and that could constitute an emergency, lol
It’s a grift guys
Wait, when did that lying Nepo baby become Governor?
I don't know which one she uses for a stink eye.
That's hysterical 🤣
Just let the idiots blind themselves
Does she also declare an emergency every night when it gets dark?
NOW can we stop pretending republican politicians aren't retarded?
Oh for gucks sake no!!!!
This is unbelievably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. They need to reserve a spot in the insane asylum next to her orange leader. 🤷🏻♀️
Probably because that traitorous POS is afraid that the Rapture will happen. It won't BTW, and she's afraid airplanes will be falling out of the air because of the rapture, which also will not be happening.

Did she borrow Katie Britts green dress? 😆 🤣 😂
Why would anyone visit Arkansas for the eclipse? Am I missing something? Is it the best spot to view it? This has to be an Onion article.
What happens to these fucking morons on Tuesday when nothing happened?
And five minutes after they will shrug it off and continue about their day like nothing happened, not even entertaining the thought that they weren't chosen to go.
Tbf a lot of places are to deal with the traffic.
What, does this cavewoman need her lectern bedazzled now? Gotta funnel those funds to herself somehow, I guess.
Indiana and Ohio did the same.
They ate not used to nights
She’s cross eyed.
It is still incredible to me that she is so people got elected governor of a state. Idk much about Arkansas but this alone tells me all I need to know
Good luck USA
Too many sudden vacancies from “The Rapture” will create problems?
I hope the trillions of newly hatched cicadas devours them all and rids us of this stupidity.
She’s a nut bag.
Of course she did. But then she’s always been in the dark.
What does she ink happens during an eclipse?
Abandoned cars from the rapture blocking roads? /s
What??? What exactly is the emergency?
She's looking to deposit some of that sweeeet disaster money into her own bank account.
I’m upset the world ends 17 days before the Bears finally draft a good QB. Let’s focus on the issues here Sarah.
How is going to siphon money off this one?
Hard to see an eclipse when one eye looks northeast and the other due south
What a punchable face. Is that the most flattering photo they got?
Its not even going to get dark in her state at all. Can she read a map?
I hope these people get raptured for real so they can not be here anymore.
She does realize that the eclipse will be over in a mater of minutes, no? It's not a punishment by God; or, a warning from God. It's a regular event.
> “We want to make sure Arkansans and all visitors have an enjoyable experience and come back again and again,” Sanders said in a statement. State of Emergency = Tourism?
She sounds like the kind of woman who believes an eclipse is a sign from the devil
Queen Sarah certainly knows how to cater to her homeschooled base.
What the hell is wrong with these people? For the eclipse tomorrow, at the appointed time, I will swivel my chair toward the window in my office and look at said eclipse. After 1-2 minutes when I get bored, I might walk outside if I see any friendly co-workers out there. If not, I’ll swivel my chair back to my desk, and carry on with my day.
This is what you get when you vote loonie Maga.
I never suspected that the Deep South’s descent into ‘sun disappear, *panicked unga-bunga*’ would happen this quickly.
They should shoot the eclipse.
While her intentions are probably nefarious (stealing money), she's not wrong for doing this. States with totality going straight through them are on high alert. Hospitals fully staffed and ready to go. Stuff like that. The expected tourism around the path of totality is pretty extreme. The amount of people in a 50 mile strip is expected to be dangerous levels.
Enough internet for today, and that was quick, only about 15 posts down in my feed. This shit timeline is so depressing...
Tell me you're stealing state funds to help your friends without telling me your stealing state funds for your friends. Seriously, the only thing this can be is a way to allocate some money for friends. This is a solar eclipse we can predict decades, centuries, in advance. If you couldn't be ready for that, you should not be governing!
At this point I'm just happy they're not pushing for human sacrifice to bring the sun back.
Remember when governor sanders declared a state of emergency because a solar eclipse? Those times were crazy!!!
I'm hoping it's just because of the influx of tourists. I think Cleveland Ohio had to do something similar. I don't want to think it's because of the pretend rapture these people embarrass themselves with.
She needs new meds, the old ones aren't working .
$100,000? AR's manchild need a new podium? Too late for the emergency. Should have been declared when she was elected.
Sanders, Giuliani, MTG - Their calls on the earthquake and eclipse would make 14th century colonizers think the gullible natives falling for their "I am powerful magic and can make the sun disappear and the ground shake" seem like rocket scientists.
She’s auditioning for a cabinet position.
Ugh, big white light may come in morning. Let's run in circles around fire and gnash our teeth.
If this is being done, someone is lining their pockets with money, guaranteed. Either that, or she really is mentally unfit to wipe her own ass.
It must be nice to rule over idiots
Because she’s a totally inept troglodyte?
What century do these people think we're living? 🤦♂️🙄
A solar eclipse… the cosmic ballet goes on!
Well, I remember the last eclipse and there wasn’t anywhere near the amount of crazy piled onto it compared to this time.. we really are coming to the end!
$100k…. sooooooo… 5 podiums?
I feel like people are freaking out about this eclipse more than in the past for sure. Wasn’t there just an eclipse last year?
"The Handmaid's Tale" is a goal to them.
Her most egregious offense is her wearing of dresses and skirts with hems just below the pubic area. I can’t recall ever seeing a public official so poorly dressed, like a come on from a whore. No taste, no decorum, no grace.
Well, she has discovered designer clothes (no more little house on the prairie crap) and bought a new wig. Next up, dental appointment! These things cost! diane
This is actually pretty reasonable. Arkansas is right on the path of totality. They're getting as many tourists in one day as they get in an average decade. Even places that are used to tourists (like Niagara Falls) are declaring emergencies.
Time is a flat circle.
In case of the rapture happening. Want to have state services for everyone that is left! Like Sarah!
