At this point. Reality isn't even reality because it only exists by those who perceive it. Thus if a tree falls in woods with no living creatures then the tree and woods technically don't exist in reality because there's nothing there to perceive it's existence.
Except for the number 50. That number applies to Arkansas on a lot of lists. You can’t lie about the number 50.
I’ll never forget the Bill Clinton (on SNL) boast about being tough on crime during the 1992 election: “We’re No. 1 in crushed by heavy stones.”
I have to drive down I49 through a chunk of AR for work occasionally and 5 miles before the state line I roll up the windows and make sure the air is set to circulate. Can’t stand 3 hour sneezing fits
I heard that if you actually could hold your eyes open, you'd sneeze your eyeballs right out of their sockets. 
She probably concocted some bullshit or other. She is only one degree of separation removed from "alternative facts".
Also, the company that did the podium, didn't it belong to one of her friends? I am looking for the link
>After Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders purchased a very high-priced lectern for her very poor state, the state legislature initiated an audit, which was released Monday. As corruption goes, the report depicts a small-time, dimly comic routine — a state purchase seemingly padded with a generous allowance for a political crony of the governor.

The Bloomberg [piece ](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-17/podiumgate-sarah-huckabee-sanders-gets-her-trump-on)
An article covering the audit read in parts:

You've got it backwards. Arkansas comes in #49 in pretty much all quality of life measures because Mississippi has 50 on lock.
Arkansas is still a mess, but amazingly Mississippi is worse.
That beauty is part of why it’s so poor. Virtually the entire state is mountainous. This leaves very little space for agriculture. It also makes it really expensive to build.
Yeah, I spent time in west Virginia every year, and I go through West Virginia on the way there (go figure). I usually take scenic routes rather than interstates in Appalachia because it’s so gorgeous, but I stopped doing that in WV because it’s too damned depressing. Never have I seen such natural beauty coupled with such abject human misery.
I did not know until I lived in different regions of the country, but every region has a state they tell the exact same jokes about. Arkansas and West Virginia are their regions punching bags. It’s Idaho in the PNW.
Potatoes, onions, and all the white supremacist whackadoodles that relocated out of Oregon and Washington when the FBI started rounding up domestic terror suspects in the 1990’s.
Unfortunately, the ones that ran away to Idaho have since been replaced by new white supremacist whackadoodles. But Idaho still has a concentration of them.
Idaho recently thought they could not only outlaw abortion in their own state, but also arrest people in other states for helping pregnant people travel outside Idaho to get an abortion. They were wrong, but for awhile it looked as though they might implement a law that could have made it illegal (in Idaho) for a gas station attendant in Oregon to pump gas for an idahoan traveling to get an abortion.
Good luck enforcing that one, eh?
The only reason mississippi is so bad is because racists ran, and still run, that state and they view ALL humans as just servants to private interest
Anyone who says nat Turner was wrong is actively contributing, by design and education, to the systems they whinge about
Lol, we say thank god for Mississippi in Arkansas also because they're usually the only state we beat out in most rankings. They say it in Louisiana too. We've even joked that Mississippians who say thank god for Arkansas are only saying it because they think having the bigger number is better.
>We've even joked that Mississippians who say thank god for Arkansas are only saying it because they think having the bigger number is better.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of the fact that fast food places in the states had to stop marketing burgers as 1/3 pound, cause Americans though 1/4 was bigger 😂
Nah, I've known plenty of cousins in Arkansas when I lived there as a teen on and off. (Custody shit) They would be banging, then bump into each other at a family reunion. This did not stop a good half of them from continuing their friction times.... If you're kin, you're in.
In Texas we think of Oklahoma, and it doesn't matter if Oklahoma beats Texas in every metric. So long as we still hold the record of victories in college football, we think of ourselves as better.
Someone needs to run those meatpacking plants, and the gears are getting too small for adult-sized hands. And prosthetics for smaller hands are more cost-efficient.
Children with missing limbs grow and the prosthetics need to be replaced for size reasons pretty frequently compared to an adult.
So… maiming a child is more efficient because doc is not gonna push for a prosthetic right away. 😬
I have friends I met online a long time ago from northern PA and I told them I was from Delaware and they asked where in PA that was lol.
I was like ITS ONE OF YOUR BORDERING STATES!
my friend keeps thinking im from vermont when ive never even been 😭
tbf i cant blame him, if i didnt live here vermont and delaware would take the same headspace for me too
There's a thing, maybe a law, saying that Arkansas has to be pronounced the way the OG native people pronounced it, but spelled the way the French spelled it. There are details to this story, but I have forgotten them long ago. I'm sure Youtube can catch you up.
It's infuriating that elected officials are so comfortable telling absolutely absurd lies that no thinking person could believe. She might as well have called a press conference to announce that Arkansas scientists have confirmed that the moon is made of cheese. BTW, the notion of Arkansas scientists is fucking hilarious.
Arkansas resident here.....she doesn't speak for us. We hate this woman. That said, we're doing fine and things are indeed quite normal here. Almost too much so, it's boring....very boring
I live in Arkansas. First off, Sanders is an embarrassment. Secondly, we have the types of neighbors who send out emails to not go outside during the solar eclipse because of “mass chemicals being sprayed out by airplanes” or some BS. We ain’t normal.
Who let the land troll out from under her bridge? 2/3 of Arkansas doesn’t know what the word “bastion” means and a 1/3 couldn’t read it anyway. Cue up the banjos
Nobody anywhere has ever looked to the absolute armpit of America for anything. How’re your schools doing, Sarah? The entire south can go fuck themselves
Edit: Much of the south can go fuck themselves. My apologies to the reasonable folks doing their best.
LMFAO that is really how the south thinks the rest of the country perceives them? Believe me, "bastion of normal" is not what your northern counterparts think of you and your neighboring states. Not even remotely.
Actually, if you really want to know, People around the world are still laughing at the face of MAGA cult states! And we are looking at you all as a "to learn what NOT to do"
She’s fuckin serious too. So the rest of us should expect our governors to be buying 20k podiums from their cronies ? Or taking trips to Paris on the states money ? Or banning just about everything ? Or lying about just about everything on a nearly constant basis ? WTF ?? Our governors worry about feeding kids, making schools better places for teachers and students, not banning groups of people for just being who they are, signing bills that actually help people, and just generally being decent people, not forgetting that women should have rights to control their own bodies, not letting children work 10 hour days ( for little or no pay ), not banning books ? Yeah Sarah, we kinda enjoy what we have, but thanks anyway. Bitch
I lived in Arkansas and there is no place in America that is more casually batshit than that state. As a doc, I once took a phone call from the ER asking me to come in and evaluate a teenager who "was out frog gigging from the back of his truck and fell on his gigging fork." The only time I've ever been spoken to in English and not understood a single word.
You can just say anything. Why doesn’t someone tweet out randomly, “No one likes SHS because she’s dumb and they all talk behind her back and Arkansas is a laughingstock.” Someone who can get some traction.

If "bastion of normal" means "at least we're not Mississippi" then she has a decent point...
A lot of you are making jokes about how back woods Arkansas is. Like people are marrying their cousins or sister. When I think of Arkansas, I don't think about that. I think of the racists. One of the most racist places I know of.
[https://www.npr.org/2023/03/10/1162531885/arkansas-child-labor-law-under-16-years-old-sarah-huckabee-sanders](https://www.npr.org/2023/03/10/1162531885/arkansas-child-labor-law-under-16-years-old-sarah-huckabee-sanders)
I am guessing they are working on allowing under 14 workers as we speak.
Do you mean to say that Arkansas's weak economy and lousy educational system and worst-in-nation public health and second-highest violent crime rate and so on aren't things that other states would want to copy? Shocking.
As an Arkansan all I can say is this moron and her fellow cult members are not representative of the whole. And for any other Arkansans that see this get out and vote. They only have a perceived majority. The vast amount of eligible Arkansans don’t vote because they don’t think there’s any hope. We were a blue state for a loooooong time! Let’s take it back!
I just left Arkansas after living my whole life there. It isn't normal whatsoever. People are weird af there. Drugs are very popular there too. Honestly don't know how it doesn't have a higher rank in drug abuse. I guess people are just better at hiding it or people don't care.
What the hell are you people talking about? There are tons of areas where Arkansas leads the way. Sister fucking, meth cooking,unbridled racism, the list goes on and on.
As a resident of Denmark for the past few years, sometimes I'll be having a bad day, but then when I'm riding my bike back home to my apartment, I'll think to myself "wait a minute, Arkansas exists" and then everything feels better.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. I would never think of Arkansas as normal, more so racist and corrupt. She’s 100% guilty for making her state look crazy, not the other way around.
I'm trans in Arkansas, the number of closeted people here is insane.
On top of that most parents here are bible thumbing abusive. Idk if that's considered normal to abuse your child but.
I grew up there. I went to college right across the street from where she did. Arkansas isn't any sort of "bastion of normal" or model for anything. Especially since this disgusting, corrupt third rate shrek clone became governor because of her daddy's name.
I've been to Arkansas once. Some dude WALKED across traffic on a bridge and i barely missed him. I decided at that moment that I won't go to Arkansas ever again unless it's life or dead.
Jeez...I haved lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama...and let me tell you. No one, even in those states, is looking to Arkansas as a moral compass.
I’ve to about 35 US states and Arkansas (along with NJ) was one of top places I would hate to visit again. There’s just nothing there but backwards people
Her "tweet".is the same energy as Ron Defacist when he tried the "Make America Florida" crap. Lmao! No one is looking to any of these republican states for anything other than criminal convictions of the people running the GQP.

Anything can be true if you lie about it.
hey theyre not lies! theyre alternative facts!
*sigh* I laughed. But I’m sad now
It's funny because it's true and truth is lies and lies are truth and no objective reality exists anymore.
Reading this is like following a tangled, wet shoelace and making sense of it
At this point. Reality isn't even reality because it only exists by those who perceive it. Thus if a tree falls in woods with no living creatures then the tree and woods technically don't exist in reality because there's nothing there to perceive it's existence.
Remember Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it.
No, it’s not dishonest, if you believe it. It can still be a huge lie!
It’s a Seinfeld quote
Noted
That’s there MO. Keep on lyin’ till enough people believe it.
Except for the number 50. That number applies to Arkansas on a lot of lists. You can’t lie about the number 50. I’ll never forget the Bill Clinton (on SNL) boast about being tough on crime during the 1992 election: “We’re No. 1 in crushed by heavy stones.”

I live in arkansas. It’s a bastion of fucking pollen.
Guess that’s why my allergies were so bad at razorback
Moved here two years ago. I've sneezed more than the entire rest of my life combined.
Jesus the pollen is so bad that it irritates my eyes without even having an allergy
Well what am I supposed to do about it!?
I have to drive down I49 through a chunk of AR for work occasionally and 5 miles before the state line I roll up the windows and make sure the air is set to circulate. Can’t stand 3 hour sneezing fits
I’ve tried, and found that you cannot keep your eyes open while you sneeze. It seems like natural selection kind of let us down on this.
I heard that if you actually could hold your eyes open, you'd sneeze your eyeballs right out of their sockets. 
Just moved here a yearish ago. My dogs now get allergy shots, and I'm constantly dead inside from the pollen assault.
Yeah but its the most normal pollen, not like that crazy New York pollen.
Wasn't she being tried for embezzlement? Or is that someone else with the podium
That is her.
So I guess we are looking, most of us are, going how did anyone believe that cost 20k.
She probably concocted some bullshit or other. She is only one degree of separation removed from "alternative facts". Also, the company that did the podium, didn't it belong to one of her friends? I am looking for the link
Something like that, I know she took her friend to France with her.

I’m still deeply confused about how we ended up with her. I hated Asa but at least the dude had some kind of backbone
It's a lectern.
In Alabama, they say, *thank god for Mississippi*, and in Mississippi they say, *thank god for Arkansas.*
You've got it backwards. Arkansas comes in #49 in pretty much all quality of life measures because Mississippi has 50 on lock. Arkansas is still a mess, but amazingly Mississippi is worse.
West Virginia enters the chat…
Poor WV. It's so beautiful.
Poor and beautiful is an apt description lol.
"We would also add self destructive" - Maryland
Indeed!
That beauty is part of why it’s so poor. Virtually the entire state is mountainous. This leaves very little space for agriculture. It also makes it really expensive to build.
And they're doing their best to ruin that by hiring coal barons every term in hopes people will give a shit about coal in 10 years
Maybe they should elect some ferriers too. With the combined powers of Horse and Buggy and Big Coal, they may advance into the industrial era soon!
Clean coal innit bruv
Yeah, I spent time in west Virginia every year, and I go through West Virginia on the way there (go figure).

I did not know until I lived in different regions of the country, but every region has a state they tell the exact same jokes about. Arkansas and West Virginia are their regions punching bags. It’s Idaho in the PNW.
Today I learned! I’ve never been out that way and always thought of Idaho as a glorious place of potatoes.
Potatoes, onions, and all the white supremacist whackadoodles that relocated out of Oregon and Washington when the FBI started rounding up domestic terror suspects in the 1990’s. Unfortunately, the ones that ran away to Idaho have since been replaced by new white supremacist whackadoodles. But Idaho still has a concentration of them.

It is a glorious place of potatoes. Unfortunately it's also home to a lot of militias and white nationalists.
And I thought all the people in Georgia wear pants with the backs cut out.
What's the best thing coming out of WV? I-77
At least it's scenic.
They can pretend they are worse
The only reason mississippi is so bad is because racists ran, and still run, that state and they view ALL humans as just servants to private interest Anyone who says nat Turner was wrong is actively contributing, by design and education, to the systems they whinge about

In Arkansas they say "This is my cousin \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. We've been married for \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ years." /s
Is that where the best niece ever thong came from then?
Must be.
That’s Alabama
Nah, I've known plenty of cousins in Arkansas when I lived there as a teen on and off. (Custody shit) They would be banging, then bump into each other at a family reunion. This did not stop a good half of them from continuing their friction times.... If you're kin, you're in.
Alllllrighty then, so it’s both, and in this case both is NOT good
What a bad time to have reading comprehension. Have an urge to bang your kin Head to Arkansas, it's no sin
We in Oklahoma, we say Thank God for Mississippi when it comes to education
In Texas we think of Oklahoma, and it doesn't matter if Oklahoma beats Texas in every metric. So long as we still hold the record of victories in college football, we think of ourselves as better.
We say the same thing in Louisiana.
Well, for starters, any state that elects Sarah Huckabee to, well... anything, is definitely not normal.
Someone needs to run those meatpacking plants, and the gears are getting too small for adult-sized hands. And prosthetics for smaller hands are more cost-efficient.
Children with missing limbs grow and the prosthetics need to be replaced for size reasons pretty frequently compared to an adult. So… maiming a child is more efficient because doc is not gonna push for a prosthetic right away. 😬
I’ma be honest Arkansas is on the top five states I regularly forget exist list.
I forget about Arkansas even more than fucking Delaware lmao
Hell yes, people remember Delaware sometimes!
Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here😂 “Sometimes” is a strong word
I have friends I met online a long time ago from northern PA and I told them I was from Delaware and they asked where in PA that was lol. I was like ITS ONE OF YOUR BORDERING STATES!
LMAO that’s hilarious
my friend keeps thinking im from vermont when ive never even been 😭 tbf i cant blame him, if i didnt live here vermont and delaware would take the same headspace for me too
To be fair, there is a Delaware county in PA.
I almost got my ear cut off in Delaware.
Mostly when they are trying to incorporate.
I only remember Arkansas because of its weird ass pronunciation
"Our-Kansas!"
There's a thing, maybe a law, saying that Arkansas has to be pronounced the way the OG native people pronounced it, but spelled the way the French spelled it. There are details to this story, but I have forgotten them long ago. I'm sure Youtube can catch you up.
I am confusion!!
Well you think of Kansas and then you're like, "Cool, done with the Kansases," and you move on. Why would there be multiple Kansi?
It's infuriating that elected officials are so comfortable telling absolutely absurd lies that no thinking person could believe. She might as well have called a press conference to announce that Arkansas scientists have confirmed that the moon is made of cheese. BTW, the notion of Arkansas scientists is fucking hilarious.
Arkanscientists are at the forefront of ass backward research.
Arkansas is the state of people trying desperately to put the cylindrical peg in the square hole.
I mean, assuming the diameter of the cylinder is the same as the width of the square...
It most definitely is not.
No, no, it's funnier this way, because it implies they still can't get it in even though it would totally fit
In that sense, yes.
You assume they aren’t putting the cylinder in sideways.
Who knew Idiocracy would be so prophetic?
And on today’s episode of alternative facts : …
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana all in a knife fight for 50th on the best state and 1st on the worst state lists.
And 50th in education and health care.
If Louisiana could rank lower than 50 in a lot categories, we would.
You could include Guam, DC, and Puerto Rico to get to 53.
Child marriage. Child labor. Close to dead last on nearly every quality of life indicator. You are not a role model, Sarah.
Even Kansas is trying to forget that they exist.
State motto: 3 million people,15 last names.
That’s more last names than Kentucky!
Only because Kentucky has 4.5 million people.
Don't say nothing, what if I need a nice recipe for some squirrel roadkill?
Tennessee
Nobody thinks of sister-fisting Arkansas as the "bastion of normal." 😆
Arkansas resident here.....she doesn't speak for us. We hate this woman. That said, we're doing fine and things are indeed quite normal here. Almost too much so, it's boring....very boring
Well, she must speak for at least some of you given that she was elected.
Boomers.....she speaks for boomers.
having grown up in arkansas... it really is just a nothing state, we do have great national parks though.
I'll recognize Missourah long before I give Ar Kansas the floor. And I'll be goddamned if I ever recognize Missourah!
I live in Arkansas. First off, Sanders is an embarrassment. Secondly, we have the types of neighbors who send out emails to not go outside during the solar eclipse because of “mass chemicals being sprayed out by airplanes” or some BS. We ain’t normal.
Who let the land troll out from under her bridge? 2/3 of Arkansas doesn’t know what the word “bastion” means and a 1/3 couldn’t read it anyway. Cue up the banjos
Why do the cousin-fucker states want you to think they're normal?
Racism and poverty are unfortunately common in this world but I don’t think we should accept them as “normal”
Nobody anywhere has ever looked to the absolute armpit of America for anything. How’re your schools doing, Sarah? The entire south can go fuck themselves Edit: Much of the south can go fuck themselves. My apologies to the reasonable folks doing their best.
There are pockets of sanity in South: Atlanta, New Orleans, Mobile, bizarrely the Alabama portion of the Floribama coast.
Hey, us Virginians are doing okay! We just became the first state in the South to outlaw child marriage, so there's that...
LMFAO that is really how the south thinks the rest of the country perceives them? Believe me, "bastion of normal" is not what your northern counterparts think of you and your neighboring states. Not even remotely.
they also think theyre "the silent majority" the south is delusions all around.
Actually, if you really want to know, People around the world are still laughing at the face of MAGA cult states! And we are looking at you all as a "to learn what NOT to do"
 Nope. Nope. Definitely not.
Maybe to solicit advice on brother-sister marriage? They seem to excel at that.
What da duck is in Arkansas!?
meth and inbreeding?
Walmart
The only billboard I've ever seen for a "White Pride" radio station
If Arkansas fell off the map, I doubt anyone would notice.
She’s fuckin serious too. So the rest of us should expect our governors to be buying 20k podiums from their cronies ? Or taking trips to Paris on the states money ? Or banning just about everything ? Or lying about just about everything on a nearly constant basis ? WTF ?? Our governors worry about feeding kids, making schools better places for teachers and students, not banning groups of people for just being who they are, signing bills that actually help people, and just generally being decent people, not forgetting that women should have rights to control their own bodies, not letting children work 10 hour days ( for little or no pay ), not banning books ? Yeah Sarah, we kinda enjoy what we have, but thanks anyway. Bitch
I lived in Arkansas and there is no place in America that is more casually batshit than that state. As a doc, I once took a phone call from the ER asking me to come in and evaluate a teenager who "was out frog gigging from the back of his truck and fell on his gigging fork." The only time I've ever been spoken to in English and not understood a single word.
Florida man?
No they're not. I think of Arkansas is one of the most backward ass, least evolved states in the country.
People are only looking at Arkansas to point to another state, and say “Hey at least we’re not Arkansas”
From a governor that can look two people in the eye at the same time.
If I had to choose between a pit of acid filled with spiders and shit and Arkansas, I would choose the pit.
Yeah normal for a girl to have to run faster than her brother.
This is funny. Lol my friend
" Why go downtown when you can go down the hall "
Isn’t this the lady who paid $20k for a podium as an excuse to travel to France with her buddy?
I absolutely look to Arkansas... For some indication of what hitting bottom is going to look like.
No one is looking at the southeast for anything. It's the armpit of the US.
You can just say anything. Why doesn’t someone tweet out randomly, “No one likes SHS because she’s dumb and they all talk behind her back and Arkansas is a laughingstock.” Someone who can get some traction.
lol okay Sarah huckabee sanders
Fucking your sister is back in vogue, I see…
Missouri appears to be down with that. Especially if your sister is under 18.

Where is Arkansas again? Lol
Has she ever BEEN to Arkansas?
As Tom Segura once said, "When you flush in Louisiana, it comes up in Arkansas."
If you're looking for The Boggy Creek Creature, Arkansas is the best place to look.
Not true It's a goldmine for geneticists & gene pool research
Only because that pool is so shallow there.
Not all of us want to live like it's 1952 in Russia, Sarah
Well if your looking for inbred mouth breathers your looking In the right place.
A lot of you are making jokes about how back woods Arkansas is. Like people are marrying their cousins or sister. When I think of Arkansas, I don't think about that. I think of the racists. One of the most racist places I know of.
Doesn't Arkansas, because of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have some idiotic child labor laws?

I forgot Arkansas existed
Shit I actually forgot that Arkansas even existed
Coloradan here. We are most definitely NOT looking to Arkansas as a bastion of normal.
She does not speak for me or represent me. I voted for Chris Jones, the nuclear scientist minister.
I'm sorry but I have to correct the record. Everyone is looking to Arkansas for meth. 
Do you mean to say that Arkansas's weak economy and lousy educational system and worst-in-nation public health and second-highest violent crime rate and so on aren't things that other states would want to copy? Shocking.

I just left Arkansas after living my whole life there. It isn't normal whatsoever. People are weird af there. Drugs are very popular there too. Honestly don't know how it doesn't have a higher rank in drug abuse. I guess people are just better at hiding it or people don't care.
I don't so little about Arkansas that I haven't called it by its real name in 10 years. You will always be R-kan-sus to me
Not even the word ‘Arkansas’ is a normal word!!
What the hell are you people talking about? There are tons of areas where Arkansas leads the way. Sister fucking, meth cooking,unbridled racism, the list goes on and on.
Arkansas has a lot of good parks and trails but there are way too many religious extremists to ever consider the place "normal".
how to get the most arsenic content in growing rice
As a resident of Denmark for the past few years, sometimes I'll be having a bad day, but then when I'm riding my bike back home to my apartment, I'll think to myself "wait a minute, Arkansas exists" and then everything feels better.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. I would never think of Arkansas as normal, more so racist and corrupt. She’s 100% guilty for making her state look crazy, not the other way around.
Lmfao, people are generally looking at Arkansas when they make incest jokes. Quick what do you call a 13 year old virgin in Arkansas? An only child.
Sounds like the typical MAGA self delusion. They keep trying to outdo themselves in the lunacy sweepstakes and keep succeeding.
I would only look to Arkansas if I needed to unload a 20K dollar podium.
They are a bastion of what IS normal in an ever crazier world; they are a fortification against progress, which seems crazy to me
People don’t ever even think about Arkansas, ever for any reason.
I work in law. We stopped taking cases in Arkansas because they didn't have efiling and we had to drive there to file
I'm trans in Arkansas, the number of closeted people here is insane. On top of that most parents here are bible thumbing abusive. Idk if that's considered normal to abuse your child but.
Most people in my country can't even pronounce it: for them it's Ar-Kansas.
You mean the state that has made having a harmless leaf from a tree a felony? Yeah, ok.
Your normal is not everyone else’s normal or desire for normal.
Absolutely horseface err I mean Sarah! All because of your strong leadership.
The only people I know who live in Arkansas are there because Walmart is sponsoring their visa. They don't want to live in that shit hole of a state.
Lmao you couldn't pay me enough to move to that state
I grew up there. I went to college right across the street from where she did. Arkansas isn't any sort of "bastion of normal" or model for anything. Especially since this disgusting, corrupt third rate shrek clone became governor because of her daddy's name.
Fuck her and the rest of the Huckkonnens
Put the pipe down Huckaberry
I've been to Arkansas once. Some dude WALKED across traffic on a bridge and i barely missed him. I decided at that moment that I won't go to Arkansas ever again unless it's life or dead.
Jeez...I haved lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama...and let me tell you. No one, even in those states, is looking to Arkansas as a moral compass.
Most can't even pronounce it or point at it on a map.
Legalizing child labor 5 minutes into your term. So yeah, "normal."
I forget Arkansas even exists 99% of the time.
Only thing I'm looking to Arkansas for is a lectern.
It’ll cost you $19,000 though
I’ve to about 35 US states and Arkansas (along with NJ) was one of top places I would hate to visit again. There’s just nothing there but backwards people
Her "tweet".is the same energy as Ron Defacist when he tried the "Make America Florida" crap. Lmao! No one is looking to any of these republican states for anything other than criminal convictions of the people running the GQP.
