This feels like a stunt on Moore's part. He doesn't give a crap about Maryland's budget. I'm thinking someone from his team leaked the story as part of his quest to become Obama 2.0. "Look at me! I'm fiscally responsible! I'm going against my party and fellow black citizens by possibly vetoing this bill." As soon as the noise dies down, he signs it into law and more of my tax money flies our the window.
Same. After the DC trip and the "silos of information" post, it got harder to read. At first I thought maybe things were that bad and there was no hope. After I found GAW however, I was able to stomach the Biden years, because I could see how many people were waking up to what was happening, which in turn brought us Trump 2.0. I am very wary now of those concern trolls who are trying to turn the Trump admin against each other, but the Trump 2.0 team sees it too. Sundance needs to maybe take a step (or several) away from the keyboard for a bit. He's an astute observer, but I think he's sucked himself into the doom and gloom. Thank you to you and 81532Ran for sharing your observations.
Just saw a list of the new taxes passed in MD this legislative session. Among the new taxes are 75 cent fees on all delivery services like DoorDash, etc., adding the MD 6 percent sales tax to vending machine purchases, and a 2.5% sales tax on small businesses when they purchase professional services, like accounting and IT support. Oh, and while this hasn't happened (yet), Moore wants to enact an "escape tax" should you decide you've paid enough taxes to the Peoples Republic and wish to leave MD for good. I didn't think O'Malley's rain tax could be outdone for stupidest tax ever, but Wes Moore said, "hold my Bud Light."
So, yeah, not surprised McCormick's wants to leave.
I am loving that more and more people are asking the right questions and demanding answers. It used to feel like it was only the frens who gather here could see the grift. There is ZERO reason for a task force. I know Trump has a lot going on, but why isn't he questioning what Luna is doing?
Thank you to the anon who mentioned GAW in passing on PDW four years ago. I made it through the psyop that was the Biden administration because of you wonderful, smart, and insanely sane people. Thank you for the support and the knowledge 😊.
Ugh. Just tried to edit my post and my fat fingers hit the back button.
So, not much in the way of ties between the suspect and Delegate Mangione. They are 11 years apart in age and went to different high schools, although both are in Baltimore. The delegate has shut down all commenting on his FB page, which I guess you can't blame him.
What IS interesting is that the Mangione family owns two country clubs in the area, and after graduating valedictorian from the Gilman School (VERY expensive private school), the suspect received both an undergraduate and a graduate degree from UPenn.
I think we can rule out disgruntled patient, given the family's wealth. They would be able to pay for any procedure without blinking. My money's now on either some Pelosi-tied hit, or student radicalized at Ivy League university. Of course, if there are direct ties between the suspect and the CEO, then whole new theories can emerge.

As a lifelong Marylander, I have a few thoughts:
