Of course, let a dem run who got in a bar fight and did a little time in college 40 years and see how much GOP cares about morals and character and fitness to serve

Probably should go in the police abuse EE thread but too political for it
================================================
When Democrats took power in Richmond five years ago and trained their attention on tightening gun laws, a rural sheriff named Scott Jenkins stood before the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors and vowed to fight back, pledging to use the authority of his office to skirt what he called “ridiculous” and “insane” attacks on the Second Amendment.
“If the legislature decides to restrict certain weapons that I feel aren’t a harm to our community, I will look to swear in thousands of auxiliary deputies in Culpeper,” Jenkins declared at that December 2019 supervisors meeting, positioning himself at the vanguard of resistance to perceived liberal interference.
“For those locals who don’t know where I stand on the Second Amendment, it’s probably as far right as you can find anyone,” the sheriff, who was finishing his eighth year in office, told a room packed with onlookers wearing bright-orange “Guns save lives” buttons. When he was done, he received a round of applause from residents of his reliably red county 70 miles southwest of Washington.
In fact, federal authorities allege, Jenkins, now 53, already had begun appointing auxiliary deputies — but not purely out of concern for citizens’ self-defense.
When the ex-sheriff goes on trial Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville, charged with multiple counts of bribery and fraud, prosecutors said, the jury will hear about a long-running scheme in which Jenkins enriched himself and his political campaign by selling badges and law enforcement powers to untrained, well-to-do people, including a felon.
Six men paid a total of about $65,000, much of it in cash stuffed in envelopes, for deputy credentials, which they could use for personal privileges, such as dodging traffic tickets, prosecutors said. Three of the six were indicted with Jenkins; the others have not been charged. Prosecutors said two undercover FBI agents posing as wannabe auxiliary deputies gave Jenkins an additional $15,000 in cash.
Some of the money went into the sheriff’s campaign fund, prosecutors said, and some of it ended up in his pocket. Jenkins, who has pleaded not guilty, was first elected in 2011 and served three terms before being indicted in June 2023 and defeated at the polls four months later................

They gave envelopes of cash. A sheriff made them ‘auxiliary’ deputies, feds say

MyPillow owner Mike Lindell said his company was duped into borrowing $1.6 million at a 409% annual interest rate, the latest sign of financial distress for the far-right pillow salesman.
Lindell, MyPillow, and 18 other corporate entities claim Cobalt Funding Solutions and another company involved in the loan, Streamline Advance, engaged in racketeering by extending a high-interest merchant cash advance — essentially a payday loan for businesses.
Cobalt, Streamline, and two men named as defendants "took advantage" of MyPillow, "a cash-strapped business that needed funds quickly," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit claims that the September agreement to borrow nearly $1.6 million was stacked against MyPillow and risked ruining the company.
The lawsuit was first reported by Law.com on December 10.
It's at least the third case filed in recent months involving MyPillow and merchant cash advances. In October, a company called Lifetime Funding said Lindell and his companies defaulted on a $600,000 advance barely a month after borrowing it. About a week later, another company, Shine Capital Group, filed a suit saying they defaulted on a $2 million deal signed in July............

Or maybe our government is just clueless!
Yeah, but you think Jim Crow laws were better than freeing the slaves, too.
Show us where Bird ever said that. You get pretty huffy about people “putting words in your mouth”, surely you wouldn’t do that to someone else would you?
Bird said anything a Democrat did was better than anything a Republican did. No, I didn't put words in anyone's mouth, I went by what they actually wrote!
Good lord, so you went back to the Civil War, and knowing that Democrats back then in the South are all Republicans now? You are twisting things around in bad faith here.
Unlike some, I went by his words.why are you attempting to defend those words when you didn't even know what was written?
Here are those words in case you wish to "interpret" them:
Love everything? Nope. Was everything put forth by a Democratic president better than anything put forth by a Republican president? Yup.
Time for the spin cycle!
I know that poster well enough to know you are seriously misrepresenting his views. And I have a clear enough picture of you by now that I know you did it on purpose.
I gave you his EXACT words, time to spin them and pretend he really, really, really meant something other than what he wrote.
Hard to believe that lie is still being swallowed by sheep.
