A quick Google search on the AG fighting Dunn’s release gives more light to this case.
It turns out Andrew Bailey is in fact a total cockbag, not a partial cockbag but complete and total one. A line from his Wiki:
He appears to just take any hardline right, douchebag, position he can and then almost troll with it.
It’s amazing how the US has allowed so many of these assholes to get into power.
Probably a psychopath/sociopath. Or at least close to it.
In our capitalist system the sociopath will always be favored to gain power. They can make decisions without empathy for how it affects people or the long term, decisions of which help propel them to the top of whatever it is they do. This includes bending or breaking the law. Someone who is not a sociopath, more altruistic, more honest, won't follow the tactics of the sociopath and therefore has less options to gain power and success.
This is how our society is designed and functions, objectively and undeniably. Also arguably it is part of human nature (competition, survival of the fittest) which is what conservatives love at their core. The fact that we try to overcome this with laws and such is difficult and challenging as we can see here. This person should have never got into a position of power, yet he did. How do we restructure society to make sure this doesn't happen?
That's most politicians in Missouri and Kansas, they're just shitty people pandering to the loudest shitty minority. The states are just so gerrymandered it's not funny. In Missouri specifically all of the population is centered around 3 major areas that are overwhelmingly larger and blue but somehow we go red every single time.
It's amazing how shit some people want to the world to be.
