Kimbrell is obviously mentally ill. The legislature should vote to remove him from his seat. He’s a loose cannon

Can we fast forward to the part where Josh Kimbrell withdraws from the race and resigns from the Senate to “focus on” his family and then quietly slides into obscurity. And bankruptcy.

Forgive me for my confusion, but who is “Garrison”?

Kimbrell called the firefighter Garrison in his first complaint that he posted. He changed the name in the amended complaint.

Kimbrell is a morally flexible imbecile. Therefore, he was born to serve in the State Senate.
PS though calling a man a fag is a step up for a normal gay bashing pol.

Garrison or Gilmore? Are they even talking of the same person?

Curious, though, about who released the ODC complaints? I thought these things are supposed to be confidential, at least at the investigation stage.
But I always has to remind my still-naive self: theory and reality are two different things. “Should not” does not in reality mean “cannot.”
Oh, well!

Kimbrell posted them on his Facebook page. I think they are confidential from ODC, but I suppose the person making the complaint can publish a copy of what they submit.
