@SkibuSmith This sounds like the Nevada equivalent of "build a wall and Mexico will pay for it."

I can only assume that the Clark County commissioners are either very stupid or hoping this project will make it look like they are doing something to improve transit. Good transit planning is hard -- much easier to play along with a ridiculous fantasy.

2 consecutive life sentences for #Murdaugh. Judge gave him a chance to speak before sentencing, and Murdaugh again claimed he was innocent of murdering his wife & son. Just remarkable how wedded conmen are to maintaining their cons. Hope #conmen everywhere are paying attention.

What you need to remember, with these guys, is that they don't know they're #conMen. They're wildly overconfident. Omnipotence, omniscience - that's part of the mythology

My latest comic for the Nib isn't online yet (it's in the new issue of the print magazine!) but here's an old one I drew for their Scams issue, "The Pedigree Dog (A Short Con)" https://thenib.com/e-con-101/ #comics #conmen #thenib #gouache

@FinchHaven you forgot, #bozos, #buffoons, #sociopath, #narcissistic, #mendacious and just regular #conMen

The weird history of the ‘expert’ who invented the vomiting machine conspiracy. #politics #computers #conmen https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-election-montgomery/

The Church of God describes Layne as a Prophet, a successor of Enoch:

"God has always had leading figures of faith who were more prominent in fulfilling His purposes, whether it be a Paul, Menno Simon, or John Wesley. We view these chosen vessels at their allotted times in the gospel day. Permit us now to bring to view another of heaven’s selected vessels—Bro. Daniel W. Layne."

The Church of God (Restoration) is a highly-disciplined, anti-modern Christian sect. Doctors and medicine are strictly forbidden, corporal punishment is mandatory, and adherents separate themselves symbolically and literally from the outside world.

The Church was founded by Daniel Layne in Aylmer, #Ontario. Layne was described by former followers as being a totalitarian dictator. He described himself as a former addict who had left Skid Row to find God.
