The GOP is still morally corrupt, even if Discourse breaks

According to the article, “The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors doesn’t have the power to permanently remove him from his office”. It’s not like 120 days suspension is the only punishment he’s going to get. Dude is going to jail.

I’m sure if those college athletes just incorporate themselves, the Republicans will leap to their defense as small businessmen who deserve tax shelter.

Only if they’re the right color which… a number are not.

ShivaX:

A Republican elected official in AZ, Paul Petersen, ran a human smuggling scheme. “Make no mistake: this case is the purest form of human trafficking.” He was suspended without pay for 120 days.

To be clear here, the board of supervisors doesn’t have the power to remove him, the worst they can do is this suspension.

Since he’s in Federal custody, and will presumably be convicted if guilty, he’s not likely to return to work.

I don’t even get the insult intended. I want to be at that table!

One guy may be cheating – that card under the table. But yeah, it’s a friendly poker game. Trump owned casinos, for god’s sake.

Maybe the message is that TULSI WASN’T INVITED. Dems tipping the scales again!

I assume Papadopolous is just confused and under the impression that you're required to run for Congress on a GOP ticket when you've been federally prosecuted, like some sort of term of bail or supervised release

i'm clearing the rest with lawyers and will be releasing it soon to show that the NRCC was shopping around the Katie Hill images and that they got them directly from right-wing radio host Joe Messina.

NRCC helping to distribute revenge porn. That’s gonna be interesting.

here — this is my story but backed up with multiple sources and audio (not at all attached to Playboy) about how a local radio host in California approached the National Republican Congressional Committee with the Katie Hill images before the first stories ran in RedState. https://t.co/RJZg96fuS4

The RedState editor who published nude photos of Rep. Katie Hill ID'd herself as an incoming "campaign manager" for one of Hill's 2020 challengers, @calebecarma reported yesterday. Here's a copy of that email, and a few additional nuggets of info: rightwingwatch.org/post/redstate-…

Papadopolus said things were looking a good for a run on Hill’s seat a day before everyone knew about it.
Given that he’s a felon convicted of this kind of shit… well.

Given that Marion Barry was elected (again!) after Smoking Crack on camera, anything is possible.

No she didn't. Tulsi is a SENATOR, meaning she's in the SENATE and doesn't vote on HOUSE resolutions. twitter.com/catturd2/statu…

For all you foolish Tulsi Gabbard fans ... She just voted for the illegal impeachment coup. She's just a better looking Nancy Pelosi.

(Gabbard is indeed a House member.)

CLWheeljack · 2019-10-31T19:00:56.784Z

Maybe she thinks Tulsi Gabbard is Mazie Hirono?

Ann probably assumes there can’t be more than one non-white politician at a time, so they must be the same person.
