Imagine a country where the government doesn't require a license for a squirrel. Oh, wait, that's almost all of them.

It's good to live in a free country.

Maybe some day I will get to move to one. I don't think this one will ever qualify again. Too many Nancys here actively trying to **** on everyone else's lives instead of minding their own business.

I binge watch everything. Although I have not watched the diplomat. Is it really a descent show?

I will definitely be checking in on the election even though the coverage is engineered to be more exciting than it actually is.

You're preaching to the choir. I'm all for smaller government and less regulation.

Rabies is a real thing and I'm sure there is a possibility that P-Nut could get out. Racoons are rabies magnets. I have no idea what the process was to legally keep a squirrel, but I'm sure the county or state wanted their money.

In CA they fine the hell out of us for not having our dog registered and on a leash. I once went to court for a speeding ticket and had to wait hrs mainly because of so many dog off leash and not registered violations. It was 2:1 compared to speeding tickets.

We can't wash our cars in our driveways here. We're told what kind of toilets to buy, and how much water they must flush. Free plastic bags were banned in the grocery stores despite the fact that reusable bags were killing the elderly because the raw meats were causing bacteria in the bags. Now plastic bags will be banned 100%, even though it takes more energy to make a paper bag. Dogs off leash get you a ticket, but if you have AIDS, know it, and screw someone there are NO consequences. My friend said he'd need approval from the California Coastal Commission to replace the wooden stairs next to his house with concrete ones. An Environmental Assessment was needed. Cost? $40,000. The overreach is astounding...suffocating.

Think I heard someone mention there has not been even 1 case where rabies came from a squirrel-human interaction, regardless of the reality of rabies in other animals. I haven't spot checked, so, do with that as you will.

There's likely a HILARIOUS comparison to be made between people giving a **** about the "squirrel license" and not the millions of illegal aliens that have crossed our southern border since 2016 after Biden/Harris allowed them to do so by revoking 50+ Trump-era executive orders but I don't have it in me today.

Holy **** he is from NY, baby CA? He is lucky they didn’t change a statute to lock him up. He might have got 32 counts for that squirrel.

I have to say it, I know I’m stating the obvious, but that’s why we are conservatives and libertarians. Smaller government, more common sense, less expensive and more freedom.

I'm all for less government but **** that guy. He knew the law and was actively flaunting it. Like that woman in Ithaca that was feeding deer after being fined several times. She was actually spreading chronic wasting disease, but oh, those poor deer.

You **** around and find out. You don't like the rules, you take the steps to get them changed. You don't just pretend they don't apply to you.

This is the question that really matters! I’m not sure yet, need to do some more research. Best bang for buck bourbon in the $60-80 range is what I’m thinking…

I’m open to suggestions!

Just opened a bottle of KAVALAN Solist Vinho last night. Wow. There's a lot of stuff going on in this whiskey.
