What?! No way? There wouldn't be blatant corruption within the pedophile administration and absolutely nothing be done about it, and literally no one that it matters to, cares about.. not a chance.

Yup. Criminals protect each other.

What a stupid f*cking made-up name. "Sheriff Buford T Justice" was a character from a comedy movie. Just because "Smokey and The Bandit" did it doesn't mean you should emulate it. Also, what's with all the red state politicians with names like Bucky or Buddy or Skip? Those are childrens names.

Are you really saying his name is made up?

This has been a surname almost as long as "Smith" or "Baker".

There's also a bit of a stupid tendency for people to vote for people with names like this over someone named "Dick Butts" or "Bartholomew Clutterbuck".

Though "Weiner"s and such do still make it through

Fitting, as they're still toddlers inside

So how long have you had your name?

NutWrench@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 58d (1 reply)

A lot longer than "Jim Justice." But then, my family name is important to me and I don't treat it like an accessory in order to sell myself to hillbillies.

So we should just kill Jim Justice, problem solved.
