Hotspurr.
Whoa.........$50,000 bail for stealing a $9.99 bottle of booze. Now there’s a hotspur.
I think that it is ‘silly’ for the silliest Presidential candidate that we’ve had in my lifetime is calling another candidate ‘silly’. I may not agree with Dr. Paul on much these days, but I know him (he was my Congressman years ago when I lived in TX) and he is NOT ‘silly’.
Very nice find. Thanks for adding to the discussion.
State liquor store. It’s the legal equivalent of robbing a bank or post office.
Paul makes a lot of sense on the budget, but foreign affairs? Still, I don’t call him silly. On many issues he’s a hotspur, but on others he is dead on. The thing that gets me is that the president is the leader in foreign affairs, so I cannot consider him a hugh and series candidate.
Indeed.
Come on you Spurs!
Now that is the kiss of death to a campaign. Just ask Sarah.
As I hear it, Paul hasn’t been serious about entitlements, but rather acting like we would have enough money if we stopped all foreign involvements.
If it was your every day liquor store, they wouldn’t have jailed him, just given him an appearance ticket.
Now that is a funny name for a basketball team.
Yes, you’re much better off stealing $10.59 elsewhere and buying your bottle of Seagram’s Seven.
So he steals a cheap bottle of something....then proceeds to get into a scuffle that breaks a window that costs tons more than the bottle.....it just keeps escalating. He must have been drunk.
Here she is.....Michelle is on live now.....
I’m just surprised that a state store manager would do such a thing. They tell employees at Target and Walmart not to chase someone down if they shoplift. This guy goes out and gets in a scuffle.
I expect he’ll be fired soon.
Michelle just made her speech......classy woman....then she hugged each of her staff and family who stood behind her. Not fake hugs, long ones. Sad her campaign never took off.
Fire a unionized state store employee? Surely you jest.
