    Fucking Don Bacon.

    Air force general and the small handful of times I met him he was a stand up guy. Tipped well, his staff seemed to like him, the guys I work with that worked with him all seemed to like him. Genuinely no complaints about this guy before he ran for office.

    Then he ran for office and like, immediately, started taking money from telecoms to kill net neutrality. And it cost shockingly little to buy his vote. He went on a tour of his district to talk about it, in the middle of the week, during work hours, exclusively in the rural areas of his district.

    My friends, his district is the largest and third largest city in Nebraska, and a few outlying neighborhoods to gerrymander it. You have to really try to avoid the city when you do shit like that.

    He slips a little further every year, he wasn’t sucking the party dick that hard his first term, but he can’t take it out of his mouth at this point.
