  1. Lakota Sioux use to take assholes like this and strip them naked and tie them two a tree. Cut a little incision in the side of the stomach and pull out a section of small intestine. And then wait for the coyotes to show up. Personally I think they should bring that shit back. Especially for anyone that cheats in an election. We’re going to need more Coyotes.

  2. The Dems would just call it redistribution of wealth.

    Coyotes adapt to their inviroment, more food more coyotes.
    When West Nile blew through vultures and coyotes boomed. My guess is they developed “immunity” early. Just like 90% probably have “immunity” to COVID.

  3. “more food more coyotes.”

    I can attest to that. They roll out of the foothills right past my back fence after dark. Raid Suburby for fito and indictment cats. On the way back they hold a satanic ritual right behind my fence line. I’ve smoked a few during daylight ours with My Mathews, Cause, that ain’t right. They shouldn’t be on the hunt with the sun up.

  4. “At today’s sentencing, Judge Conley noted that DeCoteau and Schmuck stole over 67% of the total funds intended for programming at ADI, and that they gambled away most of this money at local Indian casinos.”

    So they got it all back anyway!

  5. They actually did the Indians a big favor. Kept all that money out of the hands of counselors and gave back at the casinos.

    Counselor – Someone who has racked up over $100,000 in student loans to obtain a gender studies degree and can’t get a job at Starbucks.

  6. @ Tony R

    A guy I worked with always referred to gambling as a tax on the stupid. As such, it would be the perfect way to pay the national debt except government run casinos would undoubtedly lose money and we’d have to pay more taxes to keep that vital part of the infrastructure going.
