booked into jail for failing to file a major contribution report, in violation of Code of Alabama §17-5-8.1(c); and knowingly converting campaign contributions to personal use, in violation of Code of Alabama §36-25-6.

all of this was dug up when they were looking into his affair with rebekah mason.

rebekah was the mastermind behind shutting down DMV offices in 31 predominantly black areas of the state after they passed voter ID laws (not fucking obvious at all, good job).

donald trump is expected to follow soon.

Or just you. And don't think Yolanda is coming to your retirement home either. Since you just hit 70, it's going to cost extra. Sorry dandyrandyroo.

I just put a roof on and a new bed on my farm wagon. Hardly in a rest home. Keep trying.

Apparently, suppressing black voting rights is an aphrodisiac for bigots. They couldn't control themselves.

Is there anything being done to reverse this or is it being allowed to stand?

Really disappoint that Christie is not on that list. Bridgegate was only for his benefit and that slimy fuck pretends he knew nothing, then his supremely unethical indictment of Clinton at RepCon almost made my head explode. Very few Republican crooks I hate more.

Have you read any of their "love letters"? It's like they're both in 6th grade.

They're ghost written.

'Poor Robert'

'Poor Rebekah'

I've found a lot of repubs are closet (fill in the blank).... I'm a realist. I vote for the least offensive animal that acts the most human. When young we raised livestock and farmed. Genetics is real. Nurture is too. But genetics are more powerful. Some women are attracted to people like this. It's genetics. And some seem to be inbreeding.

 

[Big_Lou]

Some women are attracted to people like this.

Apparently so....





I think that wealth and 'power' - or the perception of - play a much bigger part than "attraction", though.

Opinions takes time to sway, sometimes from far away.

Trump was stripped of an honorary degree from the Robert Gordon University, in Aberdeen, because of campaign statements that were “wholly incompatible with the ethos and values of the university,” a spokesman for the school said. In December, Trump was deemed, by representatives of the Scottish government, who also cited his comments regarding Muslims, “no longer fit” to be a business ambassador to the nation.
