Mark Robinson thread | Sues CNN for Naked Africa reporting

[EyeballKid]

I’m starting to wonder if the NCGQP won’t try to force Robinson out of the race. If Trump is going to pretend Robinson no longer exists then he’s got no chance to beat Stein. Especially with potential legal issues hanging over his head. Defrauding hungry children is a bridge too far even for most MAGAts.

You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Defrauding cancer-stricken kids is ok, but defrauding hungry kids is outta bounds.

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

Donald Trump is one of the least charitable billionaires in the world. Eric Trump is far more altruistic. In a clash of values, the president directed hundreds of thousands of dollars from his son's kids-with-cancer foundation into his company coffers.

I "think" this family business should not be a focus of attack ads yet . There so much to crticize Robinson on..Lets see where the "investigation " goes before we start smearing the guys wife and family-as "fair " as that would be..Mark has been sitting in rawlee while the wife runs the business

Too crazy for MAGA?

I am realtively knowlegebale about the requirements for Mrs Robinsons business My ex ran a small daycare and I was on the Board -for a long time-of a Central NC outfit that administered Smart Start , NC SS subsidies and the Nutrition reimbusements among other things . We had about a dozen employees-won "lots "of awards
It is absolutely not Rocket science. To screw up this bad-well it looks "fraudulent

This is an area where the impulse to think "the bureaucrats who dole out the money needed to actually run this program have no idea how this sort of operation--that actually helps those in need--really works" is all but overwhelming. Once that thought comes into your mind, it's time to take a long, hard look at what corners you have been cutting.

Didn’t see one posted yet so I figure I would start one with this fun little nugget. I’m wondering if the. NCGOP won’t find a way to get him to drop out.

Another ignorant grifter.

I hope you're right about Robinson having no chance. I fear that he has a better chance than many suspect, especially if Trump carries NC by a comfortable margin. His social and religious views are right up the alley of many rural NC pubs. I'm hoping that enough suburban voters across the state are put off by his crazy comments and beliefs that they'll vote for Stein.

The nonprofit, whether Robinson was running it himself or not, defrauding the state out of six figures has to be fair game. There’s only so many times Stein can hit Robinson on his loony abortion comments.

Cooper wouldn’t be VP until 1/20/25 and I think the new governor would be inaugurated before that.

The North Carolina governor is sworn in on the the January 1st after the election. So Robinson will not be governor even if Cooper is the VP nominee and Cooper's ticket wins. Unless Robinson wins the election.

New Josh Stein ad says Mark Robinson 'endangered children' with 'unsanitary' child care center

A new TV ad from Attorney General Josh Stein’s campaign highlights scathing inspection records from a child care center that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson operated with his wife nearly two decades ago.

www.wunc.org

"...state regulators received a complaint claiming that Precious Beginnings “has been using the oven for heating as the gas had been cut off for a period of time. The lights in the daycare have been cut off several times. It is unknown if the daycare has running water at this time.”

If there is one thing that seems to be different about this year's Democrats (both at the state and national levels) it's that they are being much more aggressive and blunt on social media and television and radio ads in attacking Republicans and calling out their scams and controversial statements and behavior. A tactic which is long past due, imo. Democrats need to be hammering Republicans on their weirdness and controversial statements and actions. And if they whine and complain, then so be it.

Trump has a different black friend. He doesn't need more than one.

I read this as a joke, not a literal statement about Trump’s friendship with other races, but for discussion purposes, in the spirit of sensitive and yet wide-ranging dialog, I wanted folks to consider how this could be viewed as inviting negative racial stereotype responses.

. . . Democrats need to be hammering Republicans on their weirdness and controversial statements.

Bonus points for using the word "weird" or any of it's variations. Counting the two Obama Administrations, it's been nearly sixteen years of Democrats fumbling around for a simple concept that so perfectly and concisely describes "Today's GOP!" These are not simple, humble, salt of the Earth people. These very deeply and profoundly weird people. These are people that if you saw them talking to your child at a playground, you would run, not walk--but run, over and intervene.

I've always thought that Steve Bannon looks like one of those stereotypically seedy, pervert old men in dirty trenchcoats who stand around on street corners exposing themselves to kids and other passerby. And several other members of Trump's first administration, like Stephen Miller, look and even sound like villains you'd expect to see in a Bond film.
