Now what will Jimmy do? He’s falling less and less out of favor with those at the State House… his political career is kaput, the new President at USC kicked him out because he didn’t do anything on the job, other than drink coffee and stand in doorways bothering people, Pastides created for him and then doubled his salary to over $200,000 when Pastides came back in the interim. Nelson Mullens hired him but he admits to not doing anything for the past five years other than collecting a paycheck. Now that he doesn’t have the State House pull will they send him packing? Hardy fucking HA!!! Maybe his weird wife will let him stay at home and glue shit to cardboard with her and call it art.

According to the Post & Courier, little Jimmy was in attendance for the vote. Apparently he wanted to be there for all the back slapping and hugs… only, sadly to watch his shit get pushed in and his dream of being a judge squashed. The only thing that would make this even better is if his family was there with him. I wonder if he left the State House likely for the last time in tears.

Obviously from the vote the chair of the ways and means committee is actually not the staunch republican he claims to be. Looks like he is just another Democrat using the label of Republican to get elected. The country club liberals in his district will support him though since the city of Greenville has become “South Asheville” and is not at all reflective of the county. Hopefully Adam Morgan can defeat the spoiled brat he is running against for congress.

Me. Folks,
I think it’s disingenuous to give credit to the extremist knows as the Freedom Caucus. I remember working with you to defeat James Smith. You deserve more credit than the handful of elected officials within the group you referenced.

It’s very obvious that Republicans would not endorse ultra liberal and quite frightening James Smith. Republicans have beaten down on James Smith’s policies and vision for more than two decades.

I suggest you edit your story and take credit for defeating James Snith!
