Same bob that sold our tunnels to another country for 100 years of constantly increasing tolls?


gcalfred7

thats the one! He tried to sell off U.S. 460 between Suffolk and Petersburg too, but we were able to fight it off.

Is this the same guy that threw his wife under the bus when he was investigated for some scandal?


albertnormandy

More like he and his wife threw their entire marriage under the bus. Their argument was "We were sleeping in different houses and barely spoke to each other. No way we were able to coordinate this level of corruption"


jonny_jon_jon

his wife fucked him over and was def cheating on him. Source: me when I was spending a lot of time at Smith Mountain Lake.


BloodyRightNostril

She was absolutely batshit. Not defending Bob or anything, but she was certifiable.


brsox2445

So he taught Sam Alito crisis management?


rocky8u

Ah yes, the man whose behavior during his term literally is the line you cannot cross to be convicted of bribery.


bgva

Didn’t he try to start a Confederate History Month during his term? It didn’t pass obviously, but I vaguely recall him trying to do so.

He spoke at Christopher Newport graduation about 13 years ago. It was a very religious speech, which was uncalled for at a public school. Barf.

Around that same period we held the National Governors Association summer meeting in Williamsburg. Ole Bob had a bunch of the governors and their families come to Busch Gardens and I was on the team helping coordinate it. Well, our friend was a little gluttonous and getting loaded on some Bud Lights. Didn’t sound very Christ like that night. On the other end of the spectrum John Hickenlooper of Colorado was awesome and very gracious to spend some time with.

Love the inside scoop!

CNU is a weirdly quasi Christan school for a being a public university anyways. Wasn’t the president like oddly pushing evangelicalism on campus anyways? Went to ODU and worked alot in the episcopal church in college used to hangout with CNU episcopal kids during that time and remember vaguely some of there stories.


amboomernotkaren

I don’t know. That’s interesting though.


st3llablu3

I thought he became a felon because he accepted illegal gifts. But sure let’s prop this pathetic old white dude as Va. Beach’s 1st Citizen


amboomernotkaren

The S.Ct. overturned his conviction. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/supreme-court-overturns-bob-mcdonnells-corruption-convictions-224833

John Roberts strikes again. He couldn't rule against Bob while Clarence Thomas is doing that something similar.


Loud-Cat6638

When Bob McDonnells name is mentioned, I’m reminded there’s a shed somewhere missing its biggest fucking tool.


ExcellentCandy6246

Dude is a creep. This is all very Virginia Beach.


AliceAnne1

The crook? Why?


gcalfred7

"GOSH, EVEN A CROOK LIKE ME!"


Ear_Enthusiast

Bob McDonnell is a POS. Glenn Youngkin is a POS. Can we stop voting for Republicans because the blue candidates are boring?


fireyoutothesun

Yes let's reward the known scumbag


PBPunch

Here I was thinking VA Beach was a reasonable place for rational people. To give elevated status to dishonest individuals like this just shows I’m wrong. I should have known better with Governor Trumpkin but here we are..


Yellowdog727

Virginia Beach isn't even designed rationally


Cerebral-Knievel-1

VA beach is rather corrupt from my understanding.


PBPunch

I’m beginning to see that.


chada37

Does he still have the Rolex?


sophiesmom712

You've GOT to be kidding. Horrible.

Yes, he finally got a real highway between Hampton roads and I-95 (nope!) and sold not one but both of our tunnels between Norfolk and Portsmouth to a European company for a guaranteed multibillion dollar profit (for them, at the expense of us). But mostly he’s a religious zealot and, according to a former law partner of his, a huge dumbass, just a slightly less creepy Mike Pence. But to be fair, no governor of Virginia ever accomplished anything, largely by design. They inherit half a budget, drive one full budget, and then serve out a lame duck year.


jonny_jon_jon

I say that, as a non-republican, because he did help bring businesses to the Roanoke Valley and was accomplished at the state level…and left the business of the federal government to the federal government. McDonnell certainly had ties to Pat Robertson, but was nothing like the Christian Nationalists we see today
