Good riddance.

Now if we could only do the same with the rest of the Democrats in office. They're all indistinguishable from criminals.

yeeaa

Bit of a vast difference between what many of them do to get 5 years and getting 28.

He wasn't just some schmuck going along, he was running it

They're buds, but 28 years worth of crimes is a LOT to gloss over

 

[Two Thumbs]

Sad thing is, Detroit didn't wake up. It was clear to the other people in power (18+) that they felt they could run shit the way they wanted.

Why?

B/c it's been done that way for decades.

So what does d-town do? Put another dem in office.
