Principles are never checked at the door no matter who sits in the office.
First off, the only times I grab a new times anymore is when I need some paper to start my camp fires... That is where aspiring “reporters” are auditioning for a job for those other supermarket tabloids...
I grew up in farm country, knowing if you want to mess with the bull, you are going to get the horns!
There is another old saying, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones... in other words, you had damn well be squeaky clean if you are going to go after the man that is elected to enforce our laws! I mean he investigates for a living. Pretty much that simple, If you are going to go after him, he will be coming back after you, or at a minimum doing a little checking around on you.
Just my 2 cents on his jail system too... IT WORKS... I know some people who have had kids end up there for something stupid and they have turned their lives around after getting out from spending 30 days in the tents!
From what I have read, that is not typical results of most country club county lock-ups. Pink Underwear, Green Bologna, Tent City, Chain Gangs, and I think they only get to watch news on their tv’s... Small things that make jail time an undesirable experience on your first visit.
