Don't forget that the RNC voted unanimously to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates. Not sure ol Trump would abide, but no GOP candidates are to appear in primary or presidential debates not sanctioned by the RNC. They withdrew after Trump complained about timing, formats, and moderators.

I'd be surprised if the DNC let the RNC, let alone Trump, set all the rules.

It was created, and is manufactured in, North Carolina - they just named it Texas Pete. Someone recently tried to sue for "misleading consumers," but the lawsuit was recently dismissed..

“Ultimately, this is an issue of local control and deciding who should be setting the policies, goals and expectations of our school district,” Poole wrote.

This in a state that banned COVID related mandates by local governments, passed a law allowing the state to interfere in Houston elections (a Democratic stronghold), and took over Texas' largest school district (Houston ISD) - firing librarians and turning school libraries into "disciplinary centers". They also rushed to use eminent domain to seize land for Trump's border wall.

I guess that's the kind of state and local officials you get when You May Have The Worst Gerrymander In The Country

Edit: spelling and added more sources.

I have no idea what you're trying to convey here. What little I can discern - I wasn't trying to disprove anything. I was legitmately asking how it works so I can go check it out.

Checking out the Restaurant Depot page it says nothing about consumers. To get the free membership it wants proof of running a non profit or food venue, and then you have to go in person. How does it work for consumers? Is there something on their page I missed?

Edit: I guess you just go to the front desk and ask for a guest pass. It's one time use, but seems like you can just go again later and ask for another guest pass.

The article links to a reddit post, which has been deleted - so not sure of the source data.

Here's a recent article with the same points and similar figures, and several source links.
