"Actually it turns out you paid someone to put cockroaches in the rice to frame me"
24hr New Cycle: GUILTY RACIST FASCIST ALT-RIGHT WAITER WHO PUTS COCKROACHES IN RICE COLLUDED WITH RICE MANUFACTURER. IMPEACHMENT PROCESS STARTED. HERE'S A FABRICATED TRANSCRIPT OF WHAT THE CONVERSATION MAY HAVE GONE DOWN LIKE...
I've posted myriad of his tweets here and described his trolling as pro-level. He also plays chess in 4D.
Not sure if serious.
But is interesting how some people interpret the actions of executive office as part of some ingenious master plan, regardless of who holds that office at any given time.
Republican state Sen. Mike Folmer, 63, represents parts of Lebanon, Dauphin and York counties.
According to a release from Attorney General Josh Shapiro's office, Folmer was arrested Tuesday night after images of child pornography were found on his phone when police searched his home after obtaining a warrant.
The investigation began after a tip reported that an individual had uploaded an image of child pornography to the social networking website Tumblr.
Folmer was charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility, Shapiro said in the release.
“I will continue to say it – no one is above the law, no matter what position of power they hold,” Shapiro said. “I will continue to work to protect children and hold those who abuse them accountable.”
Folmer has yet to release a statement on the charges.
Bail was set at $25,000, but it was not immediately clear if Folmer had posted it, the attorney general’s office said.
A native of Lebanon, Folmer was first elected to the Pennsylvania senate in 2006 and was re-elected to his fourth term in November.
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
US District Judge Helen Berrigan handed down the sentence Wednesday morning.
Nagin was convicted Feb. 12 of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin’s support for various projects. The bribes came in the form of money, free vacations and truckloads of free granite for his family business.
The 58-year-old Democrat had defiantly denied any wrongdoing after his 2013 indictment and during his February trial.
Nagin was a political newcomer when he won election as New Orleans’ mayor, succeeding Marc Morial in 2002. He cast himself as a reformer and announced crackdowns on corruption in the city’s automobile-inspection and taxi-permit programs. But federal prosecutors say his own corrupt acts began during his first term, continued through the Katrina catastrophe and flourished in his second term.
Until his indictment in 2013, he was perhaps best known for a widely heard radio interview in which he angrily, and sometimes profanely, asked for stepped-up federal response in the days after levee breaches flooded most of the city during Katrina.
He also drew notoriety for impolitic remarks, such as the racially charged “New Orleans will be chocolate again” and his comment that a growing violent crime problem “keeps the New Orleans brand out there.”
Elected in 2002 with strong support from the business community and white voters, Nagin won re-election in 2006 with a campaign that sometimes played on fears among black voters that they were being left out of the city’s spotty recovery. He was limited by law to two consecutive terms but a third term would have been unlikely, given plunging approval ratings and the stricken city’s continued recovery struggles. He was succeeded in 2010 by Mitch Landrieu.
