I think it also shows that some one who is a “good leader” can also do corrupt things for personal gain. We expect our politicians to be better people than a lot of us are (and we should) but are often surprised when they don’t live up to what we think they should be.

I would look at some one like Baltimore City mayor Sheila Dixon. She was actually a pretty good mayor especially when comparing her to some that came after her. But she stole gift cards from the city that were ment for low income families.

It’s probably a slippery slope. Like why shouldn’t I benefit some from all this good I’m doing. In the case of Long it probably had something to do with him needing the money to help get reelected to continue to help people. Again I’m not saying any of this is ok, just that it is pretty complex to figure out why people do stuff and that it’s pretty human to do both good things and be greedy and self serving.

I wish I believed that

Why do people hate women so much?

Damn I think you’re right but I hope to god you are wrong.

That’s not the correct question. The question should be “How many times can a rich white man with a lot of political capital be convicted?” Unfortunately, I am scared that the answer is not as much as he should be.

I want to believe that is true but I will not hold my breath. I don’t think any of our rulers want us to realize that they to can be held accountable for crimes.

I have not seen it but my guess would be the pizza gate mess.

They don’t live in that Mississippi they live in the other one. The one that the hell they created keeps going.

Not sure if this is possible or practical for that situation but peanut butter is a good source of protein and calories. It also does not need refrigerated. There is the issue of allergies though.
