Trouble Already For The New Virginia Governor

   We all get it: Terry McAuliffe was an idiot who paid his way to victory and lied at every turn just to please his sheepish voters. We understand, some people like comfortable lies better than the hard truth. But in reality, that has consequences.


   Appointments to McAuliffe's cabinet have begun, and one of the choices doesn't seem to have a very trustworthy character.

  Meet Levar Stoney. He's going to be McAuliffe's Secretary of the Commonwealth, which means he'll be a very busy man when the new administration (sadly) takes hold in Virginia.

   What's the problem with him? Not much. He's just a former Greentech Auto (wonder what that is) Executive, who was involved in some very interesting activity during the 2004 election in Wisconsin.

   Back then, when he was working up there, he helped to elect Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis) elected. In his course of courting voters, he and several others from the campaign were accused of slashing tires to 25 van's that belonged to the GOP, which were supposed to help taxi people to the polls on Election Day.

   When he was questioned about it, he said nothing. Simply because "he did not want to give up the names of the defendants, whom he grew close to during long days courting voters in Milwaukee." 

   Eventually, the FBI did get involved, which was when he spilled after coming back to Virginia. Spawned Omokunde, the Representatives son, and three others were convicted on counts of criminal property damage, however, Stoney, wasn't.

   I find it somewhat unsurprising McAuliffe would make an appointment like this. It's like he needs people who are just as corrupt as him to help do the dirty work in sinking Virginia. If you voted for McAuliffe because you thought he'd not be corrupt being a newcomer to a big VA office, you've been had. Get ready to suffer through 4 years of bullshit and lies, after all, it's what you wanted.
