Brickbat: Judge Not

Former Monroe County, Arkansas, judge Thomas Carruth was charged with three counts of honest services wire fraud, three counts of using a facility in interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity, one count of bribery, one count of making false statements, and one count of obstruction of justice. Federal prosecutors say Carruth solicited sex from a defendant's girlfriend in exchange for making the charges against her boyfriend move more quickly through the judicial system.

All that and the boyfriend didn't even get off.
The boyfriend AND the judge could BOTH have gotten off at the same time, had they only learned to share and share alike! There could possibly even have been video to share, too! Whoa, and maybe we could even have invited Trump, Stormy Daniels, and Hooker Hulk Hogan to the party, too!
(WHY can people NOT see a win-win-win situation when they see one, and then just go and turn the whole thing into a SHITuation instead, dammit?!?!?)
>>share and share alike!
we can share the women we can share the wine.
Home earnings allow all people to paint on-line and acquire weekly bills to financial institutions. Earn over $500 each day and get payouts each week instantly to account for financial institutions. (bwj-03) My remaining month of earnings was $30,390 and all I do is paint for as much as four hours an afternoon on my computer. Easy paintings and constant earnings are exquisite with this job.

Share? This judge is like Boss Hogg with Daisy Duke if Bo and Luke are in the slammer.
🙂
“We can share what we got of yours but we don’t share none of mine”
I’m pretty certain that next line in the song would also apply to the judge’s attitude.
All the brickbat said was "move more quickly".
"How 'bout you come visit me in my chambers and I'll make sure Latrelle goes to prison as early as next week."
Say you can't make bail and the court has a major backlog, you could easily spend months or even a year or more rotting in the county joint while awaiting trial for a charge that carries a maximum sentence of six months. And even if you're acquitted or the charges are ultimately dropped, they can't exactly give you back months of your life.
This begs the question: what will Carruth offer to get his trial date expedited?
He's offering to invalidate ALL of the locally cast Demon-Crap votes as being invalid, in furtherance of the one-party TrumptatorShit State!
The first-born male child from the defendant's girlfriend?
😉
Missing two critical pieces of information:
Skin colors of all involved
(D) or (R)?
For racists and partisans it's critical. For the rest of us, it's just joke-off material.
I am earning 200$ per hour in addition to my salary as a judge working from the bench. I never thought I'd be able to do it but thanks to =======> http://www.judicialmonetization.com
What’s the world coming to when even judges can be bot?!?!
This judge is dress rehearsing for a job in Anarco-pulco.
😉
Man, I almost flagged that!
A Black-And-Yellow Flag?

I, a stay at home single black transbian mother of three non-binary rabbits, have been making $1,000,000 per month for the last six months simply by flagging spam on the “Reason” blog. Please click on this link to make your fortune and have your entire household instantly infected with malware.
Just kidding–the pay around here is sh*t.
As for the OP, I really don’t see the problem with judges accepting sexual services provided the ruling or judgment ultimately issues conforms to law and justice.
Get those three non-binary rabbits "fixed", and QUICKLY, like a bunny, or ye will have DOZENS of octal and then hexadecimal rabbits hopping wildly ALL around ye!
(We will all be terrorized beyond our most frightening nightmares, should a mad scientist EVER GMO-mix our so-cute fluffy bunnies with an echidna! https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/solving-the-mystery-of-the-four-headed-echidna-penis#:~:text=But%20perhaps%20what%20is%20most,to%20alternate%20between%20subsequent%20erections.

Not very convincing as a spambot. You need to throw in some misspellings and tortured grammar.
"Judge Thomas Carruth was charged with three counts of honest services wire fraud"
Wait, proving honest services is against the law in Arkansas?
What gets me is the interstate commerce bit. This judge crossed the line!
Ass well ass coerced sex goes? Well yeah! And also about snorting coke... They say ya just gotta know where to draw the line!
I never debate Coke snorting. Those arguments always involve a straw, man.
I am making $92 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website. http://Www.workstar24.com
Thread winner! I lay my golden fiddle at yer feet, in defeat!
Fatty Arbuckle found out that Things Don't Go Better With Coke.
😉
The judge must have done something else to piss people off in high places. Otherwise, this would have been swept under the rug as usual.
Bang the Judge Slowly, Part II
In Soviet Arkansas, Judge bang gavel, then Judge bang YOU!
In the debate over electing vs appointing judges, this is a data point against electing. Specifically, Arkansas judges are selected via "nonpartisan" election.
In my city, judges are elected, but there’s no choices. Both the local democrats and republicans endorse each other’s candidates, as long as they meet the bar association committee.
So you get to election day and have to pick X number of judges out of X candidates. It’s like the system here is rigged.
The reason they do it is so that the judges won’t owe favors to either party, but I think it deprives the public of a real choice.
Louisiana elects judges also. I tried to get involved. Found out there are a lot of restrictions (law) preventing open discussion of past performance, predictions of future performance, financial and personal relationships... pretty much all that was printable was that Candidate X went to these schools, goes to this church, married/kids etc.
Appointed or elected isn't as important as making sure the judges know there is a lamppost outside their office.
"It's good to be the
kingjudge."Juggle nuts lest you be juggled.
That’s probably closer to what this poor judge meant.
Poor? This guy's got the ultimate pimp hand!
😉
C'mon guys - it's just a business decision. No coercion, he was just using his free speech rights.
Just a business decision.
I am making a good salary from home $6580-$7065/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,
🙂 AND GOOD LUCK.:)
Here is I started.……......>> http://WWW.SALARYBEZ.COM
I tried and no luck; did see a pic of the judge; 63 and looking every bit of it.
I wanted to see a picture of the boyfriend.
I figure he must be ugly if she’d risk pissing off the judge by snitching on him. Maybe she wants her boyfriend locked up.
