Remember, Trump was very popular with Democrats until about 2011...hmmm...I wonder why? Maybe the campaign cash?

It was bad tax law. I'm glad that he's coming around on it, even if a bit late and a dollar short.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of “conversion therapy” on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order a necessary step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling.

The governor used his executive powers after Republicans who control the state legislature repeatedly blocked efforts to enact a state law banning the practice. Beshear said he would no longer wait for others to "do what’s right.”

good!

lol. Josh Shapiro had an embarrassing moment Tuesday as he was filming a promotional about buying canned cocktails from a convenience store... he'd forgotten his ID and was refused.

Shapiro found himself being possibly one of the first consumers in the state to be denied a canned alcoholic cocktail under the new law.

In footage obtained by CBS21, the Democrat was seen inside the gas station, picking up canned Surfside tea and vodka beverages.

But, the 51-year-old governor was then seen putting the drinks back on the shelf after clocking he’d forgotten his identification.

He appeared to joke with staff about the fail, before leaving empty handed.

The governor’s office confirmed Shapiro put the alcohol back and no one purchased the drink for him, The Hill reported.

“You can now buy your ready-to-drink canned cocktails at your local grocery store or gas station,” Shapiro said on the day. “Boosting our economy and protecting tax payers, this reform is projected to raise $137 million in new revenue.”
