state rep facing rape charges. He's tall good looking dude that I think might be seeing a private jet in his future.

He posted some big long article for a Christian publication rationalizing their support for the former guy. It was mostly the god choosing imperfect men bullshit, aimed at making them feel okay about it because they got their judges.

His name is Mark Trigstead. I played football with hi in high school. He was our QB, and went to West Point. He looked to be on track to be their starting QB, but washed out for some reason. I think he went and got him religion right after whatever ruined his Army career. It must have been bad, because how well he is known and how many people I know that know him, and no one knows what it was or has ever said.

There's a hell of a lot of old poor peoples grocery money to be had out there.
