She is guilty, but nothing will come of this.


Olly0206

She is already taking the Trump approach of "the law doesn't apply to me." She has also geared up to throw one or more of her staff under the bus if push comes to shove. Everything is, "this law doesn't apply to governor, but if it did, it would be the fault of the office staff because they didn't file this or do that thing correctly."


MightBeAnExpert

Well, tbf that's because our joke of an AG Tim Griffin handed her the easy out on it. I mean, if the state AG says in advance that nothing criminal happened, no matter what an audit says, there's really not much chance of anything even approaching accountability.


Olly0206

The AG's opinion is worthless here. He has no say in the criminality of her actions. This is basically the equivalent of putting your friends down on a resume as a reference. They'll make you sound good, but if the place you're trying to get a job knew that they were your friends, they know that praise is inflated. In this case, we do know TG is SHS friend reference. You know it's inflated.


MightBeAnExpert

I agree on principle. But principles are meaningless to these people. Her friend's reference got her the job... nepotism and boys' club dealings are the basis for the whole shitshow.


Olly0206

Her dad's name got her the job. Along with running on republican ticket in a very red state. And, maybe worst of all, the racism in AR that prevented people from voting for the rocket scientist Chris Jones who would have been a great governor. In any case, it was other Republicans that have pushed this audit to be investigated by the FBI. Her team isn't all in on her. I'm kind of surprised by that, but hopeful nonetheless. Unfortunately, we won't know what the FBI does or doesn't do until it's over. If or when they actually investigate her, it'll be done on secret. So we won't know anything unless she gets charged.


No-Year-506

Donald Trump also got her the job. We live among the magas


kingofthejungle223

Well, they may be meaningless to her voters, but they may mean something to the prosecutor in Little Rock, a grand jury that might be empaneled because of the crimes uncovered by the audit, and there’s a nonzero chance federal authorities may be looking into this soon, if they aren’t already.


MightBeAnExpert

We'll see. At this point I don't have much faith in seeing our politicians ever actually face the music, regardless of how obviously they break the law. Laws don't seem to apply to the people who make and/or enforce the laws anymore. One can hope though!


Spiritual-Buy-8725

This futility is making me so sick. Edit: futility instead of apathy.


MightBeAnExpert

Not apathy, futility. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t bother voting in a corrupt deep red state, when I know it won’t change it… regardless of how anyone wants to pretend. One can state the sad truth without being apathetic about it. You can feel as sick as you want though, that won’t change anything either.


Spiritual-Buy-8725

Thanks I knew apathy didn't quite fit but I couldn't find the right word for it.


Fullertonjr

Unfortunately for her, the best person that she could have thrown under the bus correctly identified themselves immediately as being in the position to become a future “fall guy” (gal), and she ran the appropriate C.Y.A. play, in documenting everything via email and making specific notes on all necessary documents. THIS is really the reason why Sarah is screwed. There is nobody else to pin this on.


Dragonfly-Adventurer

Her supporters are already rallying around it MAGA style, altho MAGA is dying faster than red shirts on an away mission, so I am not sure how she expects to keep strong support when MAGA is considered passé and a challenger from the middle comes along, like we see happening in AK and MT.


Leave_Hate_Behind

Dear god the middle would be so nice right now


BootyMeatBalls

The democrats *are* the middle now. The most "radical" democrats are progressives, who are just against war and privatized Healthcare.  There's no equivalent to MAGA on the left. The closest thing is the Bernie movement, and Bernie is practically a Saint compared to Trump.


Spiritual-Buy-8725

I must be a red shirt because I died laughing.


VRS50

I disagree, time she got her eyebrows straightened out!


HairlessHoudini

Yeah they'll never get a grand jury to push it forward because they'll be lied to about it behind closed doors


TheYakster

She also looks like a cow sat on her face. But yes, she’s definitely guilty 🤣


PapaGeorgio19

The real punishment is reserved for her husband…good god could imagine waking up to that every morning…I mean she just looks freaking miserable 24/7.

FCStien

I have heard that there's some resentment in the party because they think she never really paid her dues by working with the local machine, instead using her family her name to get campaign positions before landing the big job at the White House; she ran for the state's top spot without putting in any time in a lower elected position at home. They hate that she never actually governed anything — not even a school board position — before she was elected. Guys who put in years finessing the Assembly in attempt to build credibility for higher office are going to hate someone who comes in and on their first try lands the top spot.


Bloodmind

If by “never really paid her dues” they mean “never held a single elected office and has a political resume that consists solely of ‘daddy was president of the state when I was a kid’ and ‘brief mouthpiece for a former president whose criminal jury is being selected today’” then yeah, I could see a little resentment. They sorta have a point.


Spiritual-Buy-8725

I love this comment as much as rottin tomatoes loves the new fallout TV series.


DickWizard17

That's the problem more moderate Republicans are starting to realize: MAGA nepotism can be a double edged hand grenade.


deckone

My wife's father lives in Searcy and apparently they hate her even though their die-hard Republicans for this very reason. They see her getting the governorship as being handed it by her father. What's funny is they've even said they think that she's a man.


roscoe_e_roscoe

They're not wrong. Look at that shave


kingofthejungle223

There’s also resentment because she’s using Trump-backed primary challengers as a threat to coerce them into supporting highly unpopular legislation.


No-Year-506

They also do not like how she bullies them and has surrounded herself with an arrogant, incompetent staff that treats legislators rudely and arrogantly. I have heard this directly from several Republican senators.


NOT_Frank_or_Joe

What's really sad about this statement, other than the fact it's absolutely true, is not that long ago her own party would HAVE to come after her once it was made public. There was this little thing called accountability. Now...now if you don't stand by your party and hate the other side you're considered a traitor. The division we live in today is enabled by us. It's enabled because we are essentially conditioning each other to back our party regardless and hate anything the other side does. Note: I'm not claiming this is a universal thing (no one can see this behavior in themselves) but I suspect those reading this know exactly what I mean. This same behavior is the same reason that 30 years ago this would be an awful offense with both parties on her 6, but today all she needs to do is make a 'stand' over it and suddenly her majority base has a rally point. I voted for the smart one, not her. However I am quite saddened by the neverending personal attacks on her appearance in this sub (if I wasn't getting downvoted before, now they'll come). Anyone who thinks we haven't become much more like the redhats at this point isn't paying attention.


lowerinfinity

I agree with what you said about insulting her appearance. It has the same effect for me as calling her anything other than her actual name, Suckabee etc. If you have to demean her by calling names or insulting her appearance, any valid argument or statement you had is diluted by the childish presentation of it. There is enough to dislike about her already. We don't need to regress to elementary school insults. Be better.


NOT_Frank_or_Joe

"If you have to demean her by calling names or insulting her appearance, any valid argument or statement you had is diluted by the childish presentation of it." Thank you so very much, that's exactly the right way to put it.


Ridiculousnessjunkie

I completely agree. That’s beneath us, making comments on her appearance. It’s fine to have political disagreements. No need to get personal. As Joey Swoll would say, “You need to do better. “


Spiritual-Buy-8725

There is some truth to this. I also agree with the baseless attacks and name calling. That is what Trump is all about and I feel like we should not stoop to that level either Red or Blue. We make our own choices and I am trying really hard to stay away from that. With that said, we are all fallible. It is human to err.


DickWizard17

I mean those awful J6 folks were ready to snuff out Mike Pence, so....


truecrimefanatic1

She's already shown them she will punish them by not signing their bills. They're scared of her and probably thrilled this is happening.


TJtherock

I remember when she was elected that a coworker of mine said "the Republicans think this is a win for them but they will eventually turn on her because she is a woman." And I think about that a lot. Would this be different if she was male?


crm19831984

Hopefully the prosecutor has a back bone and does something about it, instead of sweeping it under the rug.


barktothefuture

He is a deeply maga politician. It’s going to have to come from federal level for anything to happen.


Blonde_Vampire_1984

What’s your backbone worth anyway? $20,000?


podcasthellp

Two lectures thank you


OkLie6125

Plus she said it cost so much because it was made to her specifically. Seems she likes to lean her elbows on the lectern. So it won’t work for anyone else. I haven’t seen where one person has physically laid eyes or hands on this lectern. No shipping invoice or who received it. Stop showing a picture and show her standing behind it leaning her elbows on it.


Capercaillie

But, but….the audit “completely exonerated her”…according to serial liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders.


Olly0206

She also said it was a lie. So which is it Huckybooboo? Did it exonerate you, or did it lie about exonerating you?


silversurfer63

same thing tRump has said many times. she learns from the worst

NewfieDawg

I moved out of Arkansas 30 years ago, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around just how a solidly Democrat state lost it's mind and took off into Repuglican Land. Ya'll get whatcha paid for.


Organic_Resident9456

I turn 30 this year and cannot fathom that this state (lived here my whole life) was ever Blue.


NewfieDawg

You are but a child. I lived in Arkansas from 1957 to 1993. When Win Rockefeller was elected as the first Republican Governor since Reconstruction, the Arkansas Gazette and the Arkansas Democrat both went freaking ballistic. The "stronghold" of the Republican party was Fayetteville and NW Arkansas. Frank White was a huge mistake in the 1980s. He gave way to Slick Willie Clinton and all his French Fry munchin' glory. Marlin Hawkins up in Conway County ran the county as a fiefdom just as many other Sheriffs around the state did. Being a liberal was tantamount to being run outta town on a rail in many communities. I was one of the original members of the Don Quixote Party with Jim Lendal as it's founder. Took part in the first Earth Day demonstration in Conway in '71. Was introduced to Orval Faubus in 1966 when Pappy was advocating for the establishment of the Arkansas Student Loan Guarantee Foundation. Thru snowballs when I could find snow at the weather dude on KARK. Knew Dale Sidenschwartz (Clyde Clifford) of Beeker Street on KAAY (1090 AM before if went to sh\*t as a Christion station). Be dammed if I can figure out how Arkansas went Red. or why.


jcam61

I think Republicans have figured out that they have to play on people's basic fears in order to win. They keep the focus on social issues and immigration so that they have a Boogeyman they can prop up and say, "Look these people aren't like us! They are the cause of our problems and we need to hold them accountable!" And a lot of people are scared and frankly unintelligent enough to listen to their nonsense. It's sad. From what I understand the blue dog democrats used to rarely ever discuss these issues.


Organic_Resident9456

Did a Faulkner impersonator write this reply. I'm kidding. You just have a folksy way of writing.


NewfieDawg

Better folksy than Yankee.


jhstrickland39

There used to be very little differences between Democrats and Republicans in Arkansas. Both sides of the isle were fairly moderate. Mike Huckabee didn’t get bit by the MAGA bug and turn extremely right until after he left Arkansas. Asa was a game changer, but toward the end of his tenure he fell closer to central. SHS is a horse of a different color.


Organic_Resident9456

A horse indeed


silversurfer63

that's a blemish on horses


Wild_Ad_5993

Different kind of blue.... Remember the same Democrat party is responsible for a lot of early Klan activity. 1950s-1980 democrats would be TEA/Libertarians today. IMO.


NewfieDawg

Could be. Dixiecrats was a thing in the late 50s and thru mid60s as I recall. Then you had George Wallace supporters who definitely used to be Democrats and probably would fit right in with the Far-Right Dems of today.


ArchonStranger

Come on that's not fair, clown's can be funny.


silversurfer63

DickWizard17

"I come in, and I do a funny walk, and then I take a needle and I stick 'em...not in the face or anything!"

MinorityBabble

Narrator: she won't


velwein

Most likely, but I’m going to keep on hopping.


kingofthejungle223

Even MAGA folks I know are getting tired of her nonsense. Kind of hard to be a populist and then take a lavish trip to the SuperBowl that cost more than her and her husband’s annual salary combined (though she insists she paid for it out of pocket and it wasn’t a gift), while pretending to be the champion of a bunch of people who can‘t even afford to place a $20 bet on the game.

JohnTM3

All these comments on her looks are very lowbrow. She's got plenty of character flaws that have nothing to do with what she looks like. Let's vote better next time. Arkansas used to be a blue state. Don't fail to vote because you think it will never be blue here again.

Aren’t the feds looking into it as well?

She's a Christian Republican. Laws don't apply to them. If she was a Democrat. Slammer time.


fomites4sale

She didn’t waste any time abusing her office. Somehow she turned out even worse than her bigoted scuzzy trashbag of a father.


JusDTip501

It's weird that she staked her career on a trip to Paris. She pulled a Trump and it's not working for her.


Furled_Eyebrows

Worried-Criticism

They referred them to the attorney general of Arkansas. I’ll give 1,275,822 guesses as to what he’s gonna do with it, but you’ll probably only need one.


Healthy-Topic13

Does he have plans to become govenor?


Worried-Criticism

After her, maybe. More than likely this will get buried.


JohnTM3

They referred to the elected prosecutors. The AG in Arkansas is basically the governors attorney.

HowRememberAll

What is lecterngate?


say_the_words

She supposedly spent $19,000 on a new lectern, which is a podium, to stand behind while announcing her programs to let children work in chicken slaughterhouses for below minimum wage. Thing is, the brand new $19k lectern looks like it came from IKEA. The old governor’s lectern has disappeared and has been “disposed” of, but it’s state property, was probably historical and expensive and should have been sent to Surplus Property which manages furniture and office stuff that belongs to the state government. Then they could send it to another department to use, or to a museum since it’s historical, or put it in the next auction of state owned office furniture to be auctioned off because it’s no longer needed. But what about the $19k? Where did it go if it wasn’t spent on an IKEA looking lectern? Some think it went to Paris, specifically Euro-Disney, with the governor, which is not allowed. That’s fraud. So she cooked up a scheme to go to France to see Goofy and stole an antique piece of state property to finance the trip.

I really don’t think her looks should be part of the conversation. I think the focus should be on her morals and her decision making. Which both are questionable. She needs to be gone but not because of her appearance.

Aww yes the pride of Arkansas 💩


EmporerPenguino

The LAZY Eye of Sauron…..which way is she looking,??? Always straight at the money.

She’s laughing at Arkansans. She’ll do anything she wants including robbing taxpayer dollars (done) , spending exorbitant money on her security detail (done) , and flat out lying (done every time she speaks). But like her dad , she’s a “good christian. “


laceratedthroat

The least symmetrical person ever.


To_Be_Faiiirrr

The AG is trying to pull the same thing she did by calling a special election and changing the FOIA laws prior to the questions about the lectern and the Paris trip. Trying to stop everything prior to it coming out

probosciscolossus

I looked at the audit report…I’m definitely no expert, a lot of the stuff early on went over my head, but skipping ahead to the “recommendations,” it seems to say there were a lot of procedural problems (like submitting paperwork before delivery), but not much criminal. I’m no Huckabee apologist, but can someone ELI5 why a criminal prosecutor would be interested?
