Duncan Hunter's wife agrees to cooperate with prosecutors, pleads guilty to misusing campaign funds

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/13/polit...nia/index.html

Quote:
She acknowledged she was a member of the conspiracy and as part of that conspiracy, she and her husband spent more than $10,000 on a family vacation to Italy on the campaign credit card, knowing it was well outside the family's budget. Duncan Hunter attempted to set up a one-day tour of a naval base in Italy to justify the trip.

In pleading guilty, she is acknowledging that, overall, they spent more than $200,000 in campaign funds for personal use.

A plea agreement for Margaret Hunter released by the government said she would "make a good faith effort to provide substantial assistance to the United States in the investigation and prosecution of others."

‘They are worthy of death’: A cop preached that the government should execute LGBTQ people

Pretty sure this reprobate is a Repube. He would be welcomed into the Party if he's not.

There is a strong streak of authoritarianism on the right now, and they of course don't want rule of law and Democracy, they want a leader who will force everyone to do as they want. And of course it follows that, finally, they'd be able to 'just kill them.' The old guard (eg, David French at the National Review) are trying to keep belief in democracy going, but I'm afraid it's like trying to hold back the tide at this point. This is liable to end badly.

Democracy has and will always be threatened by those who once tasted the power then giving it up freely later, to another different group. Yet that is a consequence of a mob rule form of government.
Really anyone still surprised at what the Reps are doing,now, whatever they can get away with to hold on to the country? Haven't been keeping up over the years.
This is just the final attach and are all in for 2020 for the fait accompli to become apparent to all.

This is the second public 'kill the gays' eruption, after the Alabama mayor a little over a week ago. I wonder how much of this talk is happening where it's not so public....

Texas Pastor Who Backed Anti-Abortion Bill Arrested for Child Sexual Abuse

A former Texas pastor who supported legislation that would have criminalized abortions in the state has been arrested on charges of child sex abuse. Stephen Bratton is accused of having “sexual intercourse multiple times a day or several times a week” with a teenage relative, over the course of two years, according to court records.
