Over a dozen public officials indicted in embezzlement scheme; including entire county board (VA)

[billapong]

He...did find obstruction tho? where are you getting your information?

Don't use "retarded" as an insult. please edit your post to remove this word, this sort of thing isn't tolerated. But the rest of your text doesn't break any forum rules.

Okay, I'll change it, but know this, even though I'll be using the more PC term I mean the same god damned thing.

Also, in now way is me telling you that you can't tell me what to say limiting your free speech. You won't find me hitting the report button let alone trying to use the Government by fining you $250,000 for saying what you said simply because it hurts my feelings or goes against my political agenda. Unlike the Liberals who try to use the Government to limit what other people can say because of their intolerance and hatred I don't do that. I'm simply pointing out they can't censor me and I'm not going to comply. They're still free to actually say that all they want, it doesn't make it true though and you won't find me actually trying to limit them telling me I can't saying certain words of phrases, just I won't be complying with their shit.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

For real @billapong , you're insulting the mentally challenged when you compare their mental superiority to that of liberals. Don't they suffer enough?

You're right. Using the outdated term is doing the actual group an injustice, because Liberals are worse off than they are. Liberalism in itself is one of the worst mental illness to ever exist.

 

[Ev1l0rd]

Is there any other reason perfect enough as this to interject?

Uh, no? Since it's blatantly off-topic and derailing.

 

[morvoran]

what does any of that have to do with a discussion on an embezzlement scheme leading to arrests?

Uh, no? Since it's blatantly off-topic and derailing.

Oh, all this hypocrisy is killing me .
-----------------------------

I'm sure there are plenty of stories about liberals/Democrats that embezzled money. Look at Al Sharpton who sold his book rights to his own charity or the Baltimore mayor who had the city buy her childrens book.

How about finding a story about a liberal doing a good deed (screaming in an old lady's face for trying to cross the street doesn't count) or a Democrat not trying to take away rights from lawful citizens? I guess liberals can only make change by attacking others instead of doing good themselves. Oh, well, I guess I just answered my own question.

 

[Xzi]

Hey, you must have let your cat play on the keyboard again while you were away from your computer. It's replying to me again with nonsense.

I'd say stop playing dumb, but sadly I can no longer be confident that you're just playing the role.

again what aboutism. Also "liberal bad, greatest hits vol.1" We heard this song dude. play a different one. You ran out of your original cd's and are repacking them and re-selling bootlegs of them.

You know this forum has rules right? did you bother to read them? Ad-hominems are not even allowed in this section yet you have gone real out of bounds with that. This is not some free for all. You should message one of the administrators and see what kind of answer that paragraph gets you.

What I posted broke the rules (using the outdated term for mentally ill people) so as requested I'm using the updated term. In no way is calling our Liberals breaking the rules. If people can say all sorts of negative shit about Trump (directly attacking a certain person) or Republicans (your Ad-hominems in action) then I have a right to do the same regarding Liberal scum.

Per say, if I'm penalized for saying what I think and is true about Liberals then all negative discussion about Trump or Republicans should be made against the forum rules.

As for free speech. I agreed when singing up for this site to follow the rules and that means listening to moderators and following the proper procedure. That is something I agreed to, so telling me I can't use an outdated term is fine by me. However, for an entire city to outlaw words without people agreeing to push a political agenda, one in which promotes breaking federal law, then that's actual limiting of free speech.

For this particular subject matter. Good. Some crooked politicians got arrested. Now let's not discriminate and arrest all of the crooked Liberals too.

 

[Ev1l0rd]

What is hypocritical about saying you're derailing a thread with something wholly unrelated...

 

[morvoran]

I'd say stop playing dumb, but sadly I can no longer be confident that you're just playing the role.

Ditto.

What is hypocritical about saying

again what aboutism. Also "liberal bad, greatest hits vol.1" We heard this song dude. play a different one. You ran out of your original cd's and are repacking them and re-selling bootlegs of them

What aboutism where you come in here talking about people going off topic, but not one thing you said has anything to do with the topic? *Mic drop*

I bet you'd go to an anti-litter protest with a big sign saying "only Nazis litter" and then throw the sign on the ground when you leave.

 

[WD_GASTER2]

I have gone on record in this thread and said that crackdown on corruption is great regardless of party lines.
keep trolling and de-railing though. Its obviously an addiction. My post is sadly of more substance and on topic than anything you have said. Stop dropping microphones, they cost a lot of money and you suck at "pwning" people. Dont worry though I am sure the same 2 or 3 people that agree with you on this forum will reinforce your view.
Also some of us enjoy reading threads on topic. You are not even pointing out observations in the thread. You literally just popped in to talk about Biden.

He will be fine. Cannot wait until the pundits spin it into oblivion though.

As for the topic in general its actually really interesting news regardless of who was caught. A crackdown on corruption like this is always great news. The whole "OH BUT WHAT ABOUT BIDEN?!!! ERRRR????!!! seems odd to me as it is unrelated to the topic at hand.

Also @osaka35. You dont post in the politics section that often but you certainly are good at dispelling nonsense. Thanks for that.

I bet you'd got to a shit posting protest with a big sign saying "only Movrovan derails threads" and then throw the sign on the ground when you leave.

probably.

Biden relates to this thread because he just got called out for trying to blackmail another country using government funds to help his son out. It's not hard to prove as he openly goes around bragging about it. He's an example of a corrupt democrat. If we're going to focus on corruption he's a prime example. I've got another example; Liberal cities who's government intentionally derails ICE and ignores Federal Laws to assist criminals in ripping off honest hard working tax payers. Isn't the theme of this thread corruption in the government? Or are we only allowed to call out corrupt republicans and not the corrupt liberals and democrats?

 

[morvoran]

I would go to de-railers anonymous, but I can't find a meeting place. I can tell you haven't been to any either. Be a good peer and not de-rail in front of me. You know I have no will power.
Please stop feeding my addiction with your enabling.

Stop dropping microphones, they cost a lot of money

I can afford them. Don't worry. I also recycle instead of just leaving them on the floor for others to clean up.

you suck at "pwning" people. Dont worry though I am sure the same 2 or 3 people that agree with you on this forum will reinforce your view.

. Don't be jelly.
---------------------------------

I would add more to this nonsensical unknown embezzlement "opinion piece" topic, but I have to go post 10 more threads of my own about how corrupt the left is. See y'all there.

 

[Taleweaver]

Yes. We KNOW he got called out on it. Trump calls out all sorts of nonsense all the time.

It's not hard to prove as he openly goes around bragging about it.

*sigh*
Yes, he bragged about getting a corrupt official removed from his job. In truth, it was as much (if not more) because of the pressure from the EU and international donors that Shokin was fired.
Heck...Ukranian prosecutors and activists even claim that Shokin was actually an OBSTACLE in the investigation of Burisma. In other words: Joe Biden really bragged about how he HELPED the investigation against the company that had his son in the committee. That would seem strange if you cling to your reason of why Joe did this, but it's perfectly normal if you consider that the investigation simply revealed nothing out of the ordinary.

Dude...you started this derailment. It was about some dirty dozen politicians in Virginia until you dragged your conspiracy theory into it.

I thought the thread was about corruption in the Government. It also seems you're falling victim to only reading one side of the issue. You should really check on the opposition some time, because the investigation into the Liberals who made up the entire obstruction con has been going on since Trump was cleared of it. Biden is a very small issue being used to distract from what's really going on (well, distract morons, isn't working on me or millions of other people that see through the Liberal horse shit).

Maybe we should get together and play chess and bet a large amount on who will win. Seeings as you only would pay attention to where your pieces are and then deny where my pieces really are. Although, after I win I think it might be hard to actually get you to pay up, but like most real men I have means of doing so.

 

[morvoran]

Seems like things aren't going so well for the Democrats lately with the whole impeachment hoaxes not going anywhere, lying Schiff being bashed for his fairy tales, and nonsense Nancy knowing she screwed her party as well as herself for going along with this impeachment fiasco. (I'm not going to say anything about Bernie and how his heart just wasn't into running this time around).

Now, we have another Democrat mayor being convicted of embezzlement. Just another day in the life of a Democrat *sigh*.

@Xzi Maybe you can add this to the OP.

Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam resigns ‘with heavy heart’ after pleading guilty to stealing $87K from youth basketball nonprofit

Atlantic City Mayor Frank M. Gilliam Jr. resigned late Thursday after admitting to embezzling more than $87,000 from a youth basketball club he cofounded, making him the latest in a long string of the city’s elected leaders to leave his post facing possible prison time.

Even as Gilliam, 49, was raising funds for school supplies and activities for the Atlantic City Starz — a nonprofit he has touted in campaigns and in his official biography — he was spending donors’ money on luxury clothing, expensive meals and trips that had nothing to do with the underprivileged children the organization was meant to serve, prosecutors said.
------------------------------

I would have started my own thread, but I don't see the point of posting minor issue stories such as this one or the one in the OP. I would post thousands of separate threads every week if I did one for every Democrat embezzlement story.

 

[Xzi]

I only posted this because it was much bigger than a single corrupt individual. If I was looking to make it a scattershot topic about multiple unconnected corruption events, I would've included the story about the Philadelphia state senator who resigned amidst charges of child sexual abuse and possession of child pornography. Seems to be a recurring theme among Republicans these last few years.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I don't see how their political affiliation has anything to do with the fact they are crooks. It's not like Republican's don't commit crimes. Other than the 5 republicans, how many were Democrats? (Not that it matters, just making a point). Politicians are usually morally corrupt (this is 100% the case when it comes to Liberals). That's why I'm glad we have a President that's not a politician.

You are 100% certifiably insane. You say you don't see how political affiliation has anything to do with it, then asked how many were Democrats. "Oh, but not that it matters. I'll just ask because it absolutely does not matter to me one bit. I promise. I just want to know. But not that it matters." LOLOL! Then go on to say that "this is 100% the case when it comes to Liberals)". Wait. I thought it didn't matter??? Followed up with "we have a President that's not a politician."

Have you seen your doctor lately? You are losing it.

I guess it wasn’t bullshit after all since Bernie Sanders had a heart attack but they kept it hidden from the public for a couple of days. I’m not making a whole thread about this, there’s not much to talk about other then he had a heart attack, so I’m posting it here. That last operation didn’t prevent this.

The messed up thing would be to praise this and I know some conservatives will do that. It should be ideas and not health problems that keeps him out of presidency. But age is unpreventable.


On op topic, corrupt things bad, there. There’s my on topic comment.

who is "they"? it was plastered all over the yahoo front page with sources from AP to Huffpost various days ago.
Also having a stent placed in is not a heart attack( a heart attack would mean he would be done with his campaign. recoveries take months).If you think they are the same you should brush up on knowledge.
Update: retracting part of my statement, and checking what news sources are saying on this. Lot of pundits are gonna try to spin this so i need to wade through the BS before i say anything else.

Update 2 this is odd, a lot of the media is reporting this as a heart attack. However the recovery time is usually months... This man is up and running already:

Hello everybody! We’re in Las Vegas. I’m feeling so much better.

Thank you for all of the love and warm wishes that you sent me.

See you soon on the campaign trail. pic.twitter.com/nk3wWIAuE7

I also read your side. If you'd read my reply, you'd know: you can't disprove something without knowing what he's talking about.

Maybe we should get together and play chess and bet a large amount on who will win. Seeings as you only would pay attention to where your pieces are and then deny where my pieces really are. Although, after I win I think it might be hard to actually get you to pay up, but like most real men I have means of doing so.

I'll pass, because I know your game. By the time it starts to appear I'm the better chess player, you'll start insisting we're playing checkers instead of chess. And I'm not making that up because I'm so creative, but it's because it's how you act. You say A, then when we point out that A is false, you claim you said B instead. I mean look at yourself...in the day since you wrote this "liberals made up the entire obstruction con" you changed your own opinion to "Biden isn't Trump's political opponent". Heck...it sounds like you don't even need me to defeat you.

Granted: the fact that Trump flat out admits his crime on television means it's pretty hard to argue in his name and remain a fanboy of him ("oh, shit. He just said that he DID want the Ukranian president to investigate Biden! Better pivot my opinion before someone calls me on something I said earlier!")
