lol Walker

He better configure the website to tell them to dry the checks out first. Walker's dog sweat might cause them to fall apart before they can be cashed.

That's something you'd expect Putin or Erdogan to do tbh. But we already knew Scott Walker was a cuck.

It's actually kind of clever, from a Machiavellian standpoint.

If I were a Wisconsinite I'd take the money and donate it to the Evers campaign.

Probably the worst Governor in the country, though Snyder, LePage, & Bevin always provide great competition.

I think Bevin takes the cake. That dude just seems evil.

Well, actually, Erotic Eric obviously takes the cake.

Interesting.

That's also what Jörg Haider (FPÖ, = far-right Austrian leader and Governor of Carinthia, who died in a mysterious car accident in 2008) did.

But you see, this is okay because they are just "giving them back their own money" since it is a "tax cut".
