he also told the State Representative that he wants to duel him like it's 1825 :lol:

quote:

“When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, now I’d like him to come up here because, tell you right now, I wish it were 1825,” LePage said. “And we would have a duel, that’s how angry I am, and I would not put my gun in the air, I guarantee you, I would not be (Alexander) Hamilton. I would point it right between his eyes, because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a drat thing since he’s been in this Legislature to help move the state forward.”

idk anything about that guy so I wiki'd him and he sounds like a total raging dickbag piece of poo poo tbh


just a highlight:

quote:

On June 25, 2015, he told a group of high school students a joke about wanting to shoot George Danby, the Bangor Daily News's political cartoonist. The joke was in response to a question by Danby's son who had asked what LePage thought of his father's cartoons.

LePage proposed sweeping changes to MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program).[180] Those changes include dropping 5,000 to 6,000 low-income senior citizens with disabilities from the Drugs for the Elderly program (which provides low-cost prescription drugs to low-income elderly patients), and ending Medicaid coverage for up to 65,000 recipients, including many who are disabled or elderly.[180] Reimbursement to hospitals and other medical providers would be reduced by up to 10 percent, which could trigger the elimination of up to 4,400 health care jobs.[181] The changes could also result in higher premiums and higher co-pays for people with private health insurance.[181]

“These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty – these types of guys – they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home,” LePage told a large crowd. “Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road.”

I am pretty sure that Elliot Cutler was part of LePage's campaign both elections since he caused the D vote to get split. The first election I actually blame more on the democrat candidate that should have bowed out and let Cutler go, but the second election against Michaud was some serious horseshit. gently caress Elliot Cutler

Binders Full Of Black Guys.

quote:

Mr LePage was asked about a statement he made in January, in which he blamed the state's heroin problem on "guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" who "come from Connecticut and New York".

"They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave," he said.

Speaking on Wednesday, he denied it was racist, but said that since January he had been putting together a binder cataloguing drug arrests in the state, and that "90-plus per cent of those pictures in my book, and it's a three-ringed binder, are black and Hispanic people".

I work within the realm of law enforcement in Maine and lepage isn't really wrong in that people from RI, MA, CT, and NY do bring drugs into the state (because how else are they going to get here) but the white girl thing is obviously terrible. A guy I went to high school with was murdered a few years ago in a triple homicide by a guy that goes by "Money" so those nicknames are not really far fetched or anything.

Agreed.

I greatly dislike Paul LePage and I think he is a buffoon on his best days and he gets away with way too much poo poo right along with his cronies.

Things like LePage's nepotism with hiring his daughter to be a secretary starting at ~40k a year, or then State Treasurer and now 2nd District Rep. Bruce Poliquin putting property (unlawfully) under Tree Growth tax exemption to skirt property taxes, or even when LePage was first running for office and had all of his poo poo registered to a Florida address to avoid paying any taxes in Maine, and thats just some old drama off the top of my head.

I had fervently volunteered for Michaud's campaign that summer, earned the title Employee of the Month and all, and I was extremely pissed the night of that election. I swore that voters are idiots, people are stupid, and Cutler's supporters are all loving traitors. I also lost faith in the democratic system for a while too, before Donald Trump showed up and presented an opportunity.

Why Democrats never bother to get out and vote during midterms, with their interests and civil liberties at stake, is loving beyond me. What the gently caress did we do to deserve 8 years of Paul LePage!? :psyboom:

I can't move to grad school in DC/Boston/Wherever soon enough.
