Now let’s figure out how to overturn the Senior Senator’s (yes, that’s you, Linda) seat.

What is it with Black politicians and ethics? (I,e., lack of them)

What is it with Black politicians and ethics? (I,e., lack of them) One quick look at their constituencies tells the story. Often they represent districts with neighborhoods full of people who don't care a whit about ethics, so long as the goodies keep coming in.

Black democrat Tyrone Brooks in GA is under investigation, too. He swears it’s because he’s investigating black lynchings way back when.

Reminds me of the end of Reconstruction when the criminals, Scalawags and Yankee Carpetbaggers were run out of office! God bless Wade Hampton, CW hero and 1st post-recon Governor of the great state of South Carolina!

Runyon said Fords problem is poor record keeping. Sounds like the folks in recordkeeping at the White House. All I've heard today is that Shulman only went to the WH 11 times, not the 157 that was quoted from Secret Service records.
I think the reporting on that came from The Atlantic.

The why did he resign?
Ford's problem is he's a crook.

Wow! A democrat who has the decency to resign instead of making excuses and denying everything when caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Who would have thunk it?

Runyon said Fords problem is poor record keeping. Nobody would accuse Robert Ford of having any kind of system, he said. A lot of folks know how to serve the community but dont know how to keep their records straight. Lol! Amusing, everybody would be screaming racism if a Republican had suggested he didn't understand finance laws or was bad with money. But his defense boils down to, "Iz just poor black man tryin' ta help my fellow brothaz, Iz don't know nothin bout them fancy campaign finance law'z in such..."

At least the article mentioned his party affiliation in the first paragraph,
not the last.

Well they can’t all be Robert Smalls.

They bought porn and Rolex’s but they don’t know how much. Yeah, I want them handling the finances of the country.
Face it, these community servers can’t keep their hands out of the till. We need to legalize bribery and theft so they can serve the community.

They work hard to get in that position and expect to be rewarded, which they justify by saying they are trying to “get over” as if they are working 3 jobs and raising a family.
The problem is that the lack of oversight by the media makes them sloppy.

What flag is that on his lapel? It’s not a US flag.
