I’m independent and vote D because that’s the only rational choice. Fuck the republican traitor filth. And fuck this guy too, lock him the fuck up if he’s guilty.
See that, republican traitors? No one should be above the law. Fuck all of you.
IMO Citizens United is what brought US Politics to where we are today. Legalized money laundering and influence purchasing are apt descriptors. The sheer flood of money since CU catapulted us into the era of massive ad and social media spending.
The SCOTUS corruption is seriously disturbing though. There seems to be zero appetite from the Justice Dept., Executive or Legislative branches to rock the boat. The media keeps bringing the stories and all the public gets are tepid remarks and half-hearted investigation announcements.
Well he had literal gold bars in his house, so I would say that as long as you don’t have people dropping of literal gold bars and bags with Dollar Signs on them, most of the rest of the Senate is safe.
Lmao gold bars…? That’s like some cartoon villain shit.
But no handlebar mustache? For shame!
And envelopes full of money in jacket pockets. It just sounds made up.
I’m not saying it is made up, it just sounds like something from a sitcom or a cartoon. If this guy’s this corrupt, he should be locked up.
Got legit evidence? Good, then lock his ass up.
(See conservatives, not that hard to do…)
He can share a cell with Donny.
Great. You’ve shown us the “DoJ Gate” works fine for both sides of the aisle.
Now do the republican traitors.
how can he still be in office. My people, please vote for someone else in a primary.
He runs unopposed in NJ because positions in the Senate are based on seniority. It rarely makes sense to replace a senator with experience.
Cool democracy, can’t wait to vote even harder next election.
Maybe you are starting to see the problem with a two-party “democratic” system where parties control ballot access. That is you have no choice about who you want to run.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prosecutors allege the bribes included gold, cash, home mortgage payments, compensation for a “low-or-no-show job” and a luxury vehicle.
Senate Democratic Caucus rules will force Menendez to step aside as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but he can still serve on the panel.
Beginning in April, his wife sold gold bars worth as much as $400,000, according to the senator’s most recent financial disclosure form.
The conspiracy counts also charge his wife Nadine, and three people described as New Jersey associates and businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes.
Yet Hana met Menendez in his office along with others, including an Egyptian intelligence official, in May 2019, asking for help fending off the US agency’s opposition.
Two days later, Menendez allegedly called an Agriculture Department official, asking them to stop opposing Hana’s venture.
The original article contains 765 words, the summary contains 135 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Cool. Now do the Clarence twins.
I see we’re setting up for the next chain of “just one more democrat, they cant do anything until then”
