President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A little back story on this. About ten years ago, Mike Hubbard, who was a Republican state legislator, led a fundraising and political campaign which saw the R's take over state government completely with Hubbard as Speaker of the House. There was one Dem left holding statewide office. Part of this campaign involved running on a number of new anti-corruption laws "to clean up state government". Hubbard was later indicted for 23 counts of corruption and convicted of twelve under several pieces of legislation he wrote and sponsored - which he appealed on the grounds that said laws were "flawed" and that there was "faulty expert testimony". He was convicted three years ago, and has yet to serve a day of his sentence. The laws being repealed in this article are those that he pushed through. I guess since there are only Republicans in office now the state no longer needs them.

I guess he's working on a Trump Tower in Beijing too.

 

I wondered why this tweet came sailing in out of the blue. My guess is that he saw something on Fox about this:

Arizona Republican Claims That Sex Trafficking Does Not “Damage” Children - The Intellectualist



Hamilton and Stringer argued after the speech. Stringer allegedly defended child sex abuse. Hamilton informed investigators that Stringer didn’t believe there was any “damage from child sex trafficking. He said, "If an uncle takes his niece or nephew to a playground, and they go on the merry-go-round and have some ice cream, and then do their thing, that’s just part of the experience."

...

Stringer resigned from his position on March 27. On March 29, the Ethics Committee released a police report which revealed that Stringer was arrested in 1983 when he was suspected of paying two young boys under the age of 15 to have sex with him. One of those boys had a developmental disability. Stringer claims he was never convicted of a crime and the allegations “had no basis in fact.” ... Although Stringer said he wasn’t convicted, court records reveal that he accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to five years of probation.

...

The Ethics Committee also released comments Stringer made to school administrators. Rosemary Agneessens, a leader of the Prescott Education Advocacy Council, shared some of the comments Stringer made about an internship where he helped third and fourth grade English Language Learning students.

Stringer allegedly said, “I like being a daddy figure for the little girls when they sit on my lap.”

Agneessens also shared a racist comment Stringer made to school administrators in 2017. Stringer told the group that “'Mexicans' and poor students should not be educated past the eighth grade, as this was a waste of education funding." Stringer also said that Mexicans and “special ed” students would never contribute to communities or the economy.
