To all the Arkansans living in dry counties where you can’t buy beer, does that about you?
I feel like I’d be pissed if I had to drive multiple counties over to buy beer, but I want to know your guys thoughts on it?

The corruption will be epic…
Mark my words, with the grift and corruption from the Trump Administration only snowballing, it will empower Sheriffs and County Judges across this already grifty as hell State to suck county coffers dry.

Protest on our healthcare system
While the circumstances surrounding the conversation right now are grim (I.e. Luigi & Brian Thompson), can we at least take a moment to be grateful to be talking about this as a nation?
Why don’t we take back our power and peacefully protest the impact that inherently evil capitalistic practices play in our healthcare system and push for change from our elected officials. Who’s in?

Sen. Cotton Unavailable to Voters
I find it insulting that Cotton's constituents cannot get either his Washington or Rogers office by telephone. His Washington office will not even accept voicemails!
If you don't believe me, try calling him!
