Jim Webb always made my :mjpls: sense tingle

[MrSinnister]

To be honest I would let McCaskill slide because of her state. As we've seen with Missouri congressional backlash against the student protestors, Missouri is a hell hole for a democrat. People fail to rememeber in the beginning Of her re-election campaign she had to scarp hard against Todd Akin . So if she could get challenged by that POS, all the GOP have to do is put in a " respectable" republican, and McCaskill is in trouble. She can't play a progressive role in Missouri.

Idk. She came out pretty hard against Bernie on Morning Joe. Any benefit of doubt I was trying to give her evaporated after that. How are you going to be against raped women. She's only in there because he rolled in on the new feminist agenda. She's a straight sell out corporatist like Ben Nelson.

Tell me about it. You bring up Hillary past and policies it's just with them.

They're in information paralysis. The media is telling the the opposite of what the real facts are, and they're not equipped to challenge why that's going on. So the default position is to follow whatever they feel Obama would do.

When you have an established cult leader, it's impossible to quickly remove all the brainwashing, especially if the leader was attacked so many times. Hillary is the new Grievance Sith Lawd.

It's also hard to tell people how good things can be, when they've been constantly overpromised and giving little for their faith, but basic nourishment. They know they're near the bottom, but they have no historical context on how bad it can actually get. I understand them a bit and feel bad. It's time to wakey wakey though. White anger is real. If they don't want to move to empower themselves, White anger is moving to devour them.

i liked him until he started defending the confederate flag and then he got caught paying his own family members for "consulting" fees from campaign funds

I actually don't have a problem with the second part
Things like that happen in every profession

YOU try that then. It's frowned upon to combine nepotism into politics, because you're using public funds that is supposed to be used to educate the public. A lot of people are sneaky with it, but it's one of the main reasons, outside of , they got rid of Michael Steele. If you're going to win at their game, you need to play the White rules, whether you're Democrat or not. You don't want their hypocrisy to hit you and hurt the race

And it always does. There's no reason not to do it right, because you may need that platform one day to really get real about something. When you do, if you're dirty, your best friends will drag your skeleton out the closet for their come up.

well if if its for an actual job and the family member is an actual staff member thats cool

like if you pay your daughter $1000 bucks to build your website that's cool, if you hire her to answer phones thats cool

but if you start paying her $50,000 for a website and you are paying her as a "consultant" (which means you are just cutting a check), not an actual staff member...then its shady, i forget the numbers but it was something similar to the latter that he was doing

Jim Webb’s PAC made ‘unusual’ payments to his wife, daughter | New York Post

Also note that the media will always keep what they know about you in their back pockets. If I was Black and was thinking about doing shady shyt, I'd just start my own business. No need to take that to politics and affect a generation. You can get away with a lot more if you're not greedy and style low profile.

Not mad at Jim Webb... people like him were needed to get Democratic Party representatives from conservative areas, and he was good at resisting the Bush admin over the Iraq War stuff, and was like the first mainstream politician to start talking about criminal justice reform

I can see him keeping a live hand grenade on his desk as a paper weight but I like that.
