Jesus

Another case of a repub being in bed with big oil and big business

What's the reasoning? Has he been asked?

Couldn't that be enough to get him thrown from office?

[ice grillin you]

taking 250 mil from an 8.9 billion dollar lawsuit is horrible...but what kills me most is that the 250 mil he took isnt going to clean up the pollution its going towards paying off the state deficit that HE fargING CREATED

[PhillyPhreak54]

Essentially letting Exxon off the hook

There's gotta be something in there to get him kicked out of office. Misappropriation of funds or some shtein.

If Obama did that?!?

[ice grillin you]

the deal itself let exxon off the hook....im talking about the money he did get...he used it to pay off his states deficit...not towards the pollution or the enviroment in any manner whatsoever...that takes some serious balls...basically hes teflon and he knows it so at this point hes just spitting in the faces of everyone who lives in that state and doesnt care

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'd investigate what kickbacks he's getting bc you know there's some.

Righties rejoice!

This...

He acts like he's for the people, but in the end like every other politician he's a shill for the rich, greedy and powerhungry.  More than likely hungry as well.  Dude is the only person i've seen gain weight after lap band surgery.

Another reason to despise big business.

Why is this ok?

So Curt Schilling can trash whoever he wants on social media, but the minute someone fights back and trashes his daughter, the war for civility and decency has begun?

Hilarious.

Exactly...he can be a fleshpop all he wants, the minute you say the sorts of things about his daughter that were being said the gloves are coming off.

From the article:

He's right, in a sense, but isn't his over-the-top exposure of these people just another form of Internet bullying?

No...they got exactly what they deserved. They chose to attack a celebrity's daughter, not south Boston Will. They should have taken that into account before they wrote what they did. If they had mocked him, called him a fleshpop, said he was a lousy pitcher, maybe I'd have some sympathy. What they wrote was vile and now there are consequences.
