[Blind Gossip] There is a prominent American politician who seems to frequently engage in questionable activities.
While he is not the first or only politician whose personal motto seems to be “Rules for thee but not for me!” he certainly seems to get very preferential treatment.
Poli was involved in a car accident recently. It did not occur while he was traveling on official business and it was not a big enough event to warrant national news. But, because he is famous, some unusual things happened at the scene of the accident.
Now, to be clear, this wasn’t one of those Reese Witherspoon moments.
You may recall that Reese and her husband were arrested during an embarrassing little DUI fiasco back in 2013. Her mug shot was probably the only time in history when Reese avoided the camera.
The memorable part of that story was not just that Reese Witherspoon was involved in a DUI. It was that she tossed out an indigent “Don’t you know who I am?” attitude to try to intimidate and dissuade the police from doing their job.
The Politician in the car story we’re telling you about today wasn’t trying to impress police with who he was or trying to get them to back off. The police immediately knew who he was.
No, this was more of a “Can we keep this one quiet?” event.
After the accident occurred, Poli exited his vehicle and quietly sat down on the curb. Police converged on the scene. And even though they determined that Poli caused the accident, he received some very special treatment.
Of course there was the usual checking of the driver’s license, car registration and car insurance for both drivers. If you were in an accident, we bet you would go through the same routine. It was what happened next that was unusual.
After some discussion, police decided to perform a sobriety test.
No, not on Poli, who caused the accident. Poli didn’t have to take a breathalyzer test… or walk a straight line… or touch his fingers to the tip of his nose. Poli was allowed to stay seated on the curb.
Law enforcement tested the driver of the other car.
The other driver was determined to be sober, but it is curious that Poli was allowed to sit this one out. After all, Poli has been know to imbibe. He has also been known to vociferously advocate for the cannabis industry in his state and has some questionably close ties to the industry that have raised more than a few eyebrows.
That leads us to the second curious thing that happened.
The police searched the car of the other driver. Perhaps they wanted to see if there were any drugs or alcohol in the car.
However, they did not search Poli’s car.
Instead, they all had to wait around until some mysterious person showed up to “remove the bags” from Poli’s car. When that person did arrive, the police merely waved him on and watched while he removed bags from the back seat of Poli’s car. The police did not ask what was in the bags. The police did not inspect the bags.
The bags that were permitted to be removed were not suitcases or briefcases or grocery bags. They were dark trash bags full of… something. It was all very mysterious.
Surely our Politician was not on his way to the dump when the accident occurred? What was in those bags?
While we are glad that neither Poli nor the driver of the other car were seriously hurt, this whole situation was handled in a very odd manner.
Between the lack of a sobriety test, the unquestioned removal of items from the scene, and the request for everyone to be quiet so the media didn’t get wind of it, this whole scenario stinks of special treatment for an elite politician.
Not President Donald Trump.
Here’s the video of Reese Witherspoon getting arrested:
Politician:
[Optional] The worst U.S. politician currently in office is ______ . Why? Always use real names and keep your comments civil.
Murfsgurl says
Nevada girl here, yes this was our Governor, Steve Sisolak.
Parade says
You are correct.
sunshine702 says
This takes on new significance with the Raider’s dui crash.
No special rules!!
wendybar says
Eric Swalwell who banged Fang Fang the Chinese Spy.
The Worst politician today is NASTY Nancy Pelosi, who denied the request of the National Guard for 1/6/21, and had two fraudulent impeachments, getting nothing else done for Americans…but helping Illegals pour into the country unvaccinated…..
gina128 says
must be a democrat or else this would. be all over the news
Whisper says
Worst politicians are in NYS DeBlasio, now Adams and Cuomo and his placeholder. Dictators.
Baileygirl says
I agree with you 100%. The current officeholders in Washington stink from the head down-BIDEN, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, and the Squad. Every move made is to hasten the decline of the USA. People had better wake up to reality and vote these politicians OUT of office! Why does almost every member of the Senate leave office as a millionaire?
ZigZagZoey says
This is the only place that I see comments I agree with.
Thank you!
You are 1000% right.
GeorgiaR says
I also think it’s Gavin Newsom. The phrase “Rules for thee but not for me!” have been used many times in regards to his actions in the past and is now synonymous with his name. I often wonder how and why people like him continue to get away with the things that they do. At some point in time, Karma will catch up with him and it won’t be pretty.
ZZtyme says
Governor Sisolak of Nevada.
Worst current office holder? Seems to be a tie between the VP Harris, Mayor of Chicago Lightfoot and any member of the so-called “Squad” in the House of Representatives.
Callie0924 says
Gov Sisolak Nevada
Memo says
Matt Gaetz again. When will he finally be put in prison?
darkrose says
Matt Gaetz
Worst pols in office right now:
Lauren Bobert
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Matt Gaetz
Vampira says
LOL…Lauren Boebert didn’t even have a high school diploma until she finally got her GED during covid.
mostlylurker says
amen sista.
Kate2020 says
This is Nevada Governor Sickolak, worst governor in Nevada. It was barely mentioned on the news and you can tell right away there was a big cover up just for lack of information.
elisemh says
What’s in the bag, Steve Sisolak? WHAT’S IN THE BAG??!
justme84 says
I’m gonna go with Gavin Newsom because he has supported marijuana legalization and generally gets away with whatever he does.
He is definitely one of the worst politicians out there and I think he’s super scary because now that he survived the recall and since he is related to Nancy Polosi he has no fear to do whatever he wants.
MzDBDB says
I agree with you!
dinamarieburnett says
25% of the people who voted for him actually signed the recall. Yet, that 61% went up to 69% in support for him. They once again cheated to keep him in office. Trust me, Newsom is hated in CA.
BDBoop says
Sounds like Gaetz.
But if they favor legalization, it’s practically a given that a Dem is involved.
Joe Manchin. He’s a mercenary, and an embarrassment to the Senate. It’s all about the money, honey.
jbj2016 says
Gaetz is also very pro-cannabis and has friends in the industry whom he actively supports.
vblake says
Matt Gaetz
WafflesGinNPasta says
Gavin Christopher Newsom
Jeanesgenes says
John Boehner ex speaker of the house
It’s a tossup between Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert.
Linn32 says
Ah, is this why our GovGav cancelled his trip to save the world from climate change? Slimeball. Can’t believe the cops would cover for him though.
jbj2016 says
Yeah, God forbid anyone wants the planet to be liveable for their their descendants! I mean, I think that it is inevitable, so why not just leave it to the fittest survivors to figure it out? We’ll be dead anyway…
ILUVCA4evr says
Politician: MR. Gavin Newsom (not my Guv!)
The worst U.S. politician currently in office: Newsom, Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
Why? They always consider themselves above the law and don’t care how they show it. CA/SF is a rotten cesspool and the country isn’t doing much better.
rayodeplata says
Gov Sisolak of Nevada
CrazyInVegas99 says
This is my Horrible Governor. Sisolak from Nevada. He was in an accident a few weeks ago and he was found at fault. It was all over the local papers.
parkland45 says
No idea. The new senator from Colorado? I think that state allows cannabis.
Worst politician? Raphael “Ted” Cruz, who left his state during a dire emergency, when his constituents were freezing, to swan off to Cabo San Lucas.
amagod121 says
Good grief, it’s early in the morning and I am on the road and thought at first that you had written, “I think that state allows cannibals .” Swear to God! Well ft any state was going to lead the charge into that territory, it would be CA! Meanwhile, my poor tired brain was grappling with the entire idea of cannibalism being legal!
TeacherKat says
Not sure.
Worst politician? There are SO many! Biden is unfit to lead. Harris is unqualified and way in over her head. Pelosi needs to retire like 20 years ago. The squad is awful and anti-American. Basically, with the exception of a few, let’s just clean house and start over anew with term limits and other rules in place (like they can’t mandate vaccines or health care for us, then make their own rules for them, insider trading is also illegal for members of Congress, etc).
JenRater says
I hope you worked the polls today and consider a run for office
omgimbackagain says
No idea. The only poli I know of who is very pro marijuana is Bernie Sanders.
Worst US politician currently in office….all of them from McConnell to Pelosi. All of them.
taracu says
I’m not even American, but McConnell is such a piece of trash. Evil little man, corrupt to the very core.
CheetoFingerz says
Not sure who the politicians is. It could be any of the more senior Senators
Worst currently in office….DiBlasio, Lori Lightfoot ,Kim Fox, Ilhan Omar, * ,Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott….
Basically any extremist pulling us apart. United We Stand Divided We Fall
real123 says
Totally Gov. Sisolak of Nevada, has been called out for going to the first Home Raider game in new stadium when no fans were allowed to attend. 2020 Halloween party at his home with hundreds of people mask-less, he contracted Covid shortly after as did several other party goers. This accident was 2 weeks ago suspicious from the get go.
ratneck says
Worst politician:. Sleepy Joe biden
amagod121 says
I had to look this one up: Democratic Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak.
Is he really prominent? I’ve honestly never heard of him before. But I despise it when the rich and famous get completely different treatment than us regular Joe’s and Jane’s.
Optional: Joe Biden, hands down. I don’t want to go down the negative road as to why I feel he is such a poor President, beyond saying one word: Afghanistan.
Let’s go, Brandon!
badgerette85 says
My instinct tells me Cory Booker.
Op- POTUS hands down … mentally incompetent to lead; makes you wonder who really is.
beachchick218 says
Steve Sisolak / Governor of Nevada. Nevada politicians have been dirty for a long time.
Worst US Politician: Let’s Go Brandon! The only person in the world that makes Jimmy Carter look like a good President. joe biden
amagod121 says
Joe not only makes Jimmy Carter look good, he even makes Obama look okay!
MargieB says
Matt Gaetz, of course.
Optional: I could not possibly begin to figure out which elected Republican politician is the worst.
fanofgossip says
OMG! No idea!! but so look forward to assumptions and “witnesses”. excitiiiiing!!! please, please, let the innocent driver rant like crazy. puuuuuhleeeeaze🤞🤞🙏
DaniJo says
Gavin Newsom
Midsomerfan says
A correction to my previous comment … of course the mayor of the Windy City is Lori Lightfoot! I am losing it! 🤪
davidarochelle says
NV Democratic Governor Sisolak
Midsomerfan says
Cory Booker? I don’t have much to back it up, but he was my first thought.
As for the worst politician … there are a lot of contenders but I will go with Lori Proudfoot, mayor of Chicago!
Marybel says
haha. I want to say Gavin because Aunt Nancy’s eyebrows are raised to her hairline.
travio says
John Boehner comes to mind but he’s retired. He’s lobbied for the cannabis industry and was known to do a little drinking when he was the speaker.
I love the caveat about Trump. Like he’s driven anything but a golf cart in the last few decades or his current secret service team would let him drive at all, especially drunk.
beachchick218 says
Trump does not drink. Never has.
mybellyistoofulltothink says
Gavin Newsome. Has to be a Democrat politician because the media doesn’t hide that kind of story for Republicans.
Not surprised at this point. Guessing it was weed bongs and accessories in the bag.
Prince4Ever says
Gavin Newsome moving weed.
High Steppa says
Sounds like the Guv of NV, Steve Sisolak. It all sounds fishy. And no idea what was in the bags!
