You guys should probably not make up things on the internet. Besides, Ron Reagan Junior would have never worked on behalf of a foreign entity in hopes dangling the prospect of using his father's influence to affect government decisions.

I am hoping the Republicans will successfully shut down the government until we can reign in spending and shut down the border. After which they can work Democrats to balance the next fiscal budget by drastically cutting spending across the board.

I’m sorry if accurately describing things you say makes you sad, haha.

It's sad that such a simple point went way over your head, even though it was aimed at your knees. I guess I am not surprised, you seem to go thru life face down, ass up.

But my question is: Who's a foreign agent, Hunter or Joe? Your whole argument is based off of a hopes and dreams of a companies actions. It's not illegal for a company to over pay an employee with hopes of having access to a high profile father, in this case VP. They can hope all they want, nothing came of those hopes and dreams. It's not illegal to be stupid. It's also not illegal for employee to accept that higher income based off hopes, dreams, and stupidity.. It's also not illegal to throw around your high profile father's name to gain an advantage. Basically, Hunter played them. Now, Hunter may have committed a crime, even Hunter's Uncle may have committed a crime.. But that does not mean Joe Biden did, specially since their is absolutely zero evidence of such.

Do you even know what a foreign agent is?

edit: spelling

Still playing that bullshit game that the Democrats are the problem when it comes to spending, and they are the ones responsible for balancing the budget after the Republican's blew up the deficit. You are broken record of dishonesty.

I mean he said that despite Republicans blowing up the deficit in the past we shouldn’t judge them on their past actions and should vote for them anyway because apparently this time they really mean it.

It’s a political sports team for him - what’s sad is at least real sports teams tend to like their fans while in this case Republicans are just laughing behind his back at how gullible he is.

He’s also for the destruction of the US dollar and our whole economic system. Apparently being the worlds currency and the benefits that come along with it just isn’t worth it anymore. Time to blow it all up I guess.

He also doesn't like war but liked Reagan and the Bushes.

He’s a left wing troll. His main goal appears to be to completely debunk right wing talking points by letting us debunk them. It was funny when the right wasn’t full of delusional people who actually think like that, now it’s just annoying and pointless.

SCOTUS rulings have made it very difficult to convict in these cases. Proving the quid pro quo necessary is difficult because the law has been narrowed. Just giving money to a politician isn’t enough, and then proving it resulted in the crook using his official powers in return is complicated. The feds say they have a lot more evidence than the last time they went after him and failed. His previous indictment was dropped for this very reason. If DOJ is going after him again, they must have iron clad evidence of a quid pro quo.

Bob Menendez said:

“It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere,”

:rolleyes:It has nothing to do with you being a Latino, my dude. More to do with this being the SECOND time credible bribery charges have been leveled against you. Read the fucking room.

I wonder what Schumer’s move is here. I’d imagine the only reason he’s not already calling for Menendez’ resignation is because he knows it would just make him dig in more, and is trying to find some kind of soft landing to usher him out the door. Not sure how possible that is, though.

I remember when the Feds found $400,000 in William Jeffersons freezer and indicted him for bribery. While under indictment, he ran for reelection and lost to a no-name Republican in one of the most Democratic House seats in the country. And New Jersey is blue, but the Republicans out there aren’t hapless. They came within three points of knocking off Phil Murphy in 2021. Finally, with Menendez on the ballot Democrats will now have to spend money on this race that they will desperately need to protect seats in WV, OH, MT, NV, MI, WI and PA.

Senate Democrats need him gone. The problem is they don’t have any good way to force the issue.

I, too, am calling on Mr. Menendez to resign. Not because he's Latino, or even because he faces allegations of accepting bribes to influence decisions. No, Mr. Menendez is blatantly, factually guilty of a crime much worse than that.

Mr. Menendez has a tiny little face on a gigantic, Charlie Brown-esque head.1000002187.jpg

Looks like his ego, arrogance and greed totally smothered his common sense, situational awareness and the fact that he is a hot mess that needs to be gone for the sake of the party he exploited for fun and profit for decades.

Begone Bob, your time's up and don't worry about all of that loot you sold your politically corrupt soul for, hopefully it will all be pried out of your ass with extreme prejudice by the authorities and given to the voters of whom you shamelessly betrayed. Hope you like institutional flavored meals, sleeping on a lumpy cot and sharing your cell with a convicted sexual predator that just loves him some fresh vintaged meat to snack on.

Trump has 1 thing for him: his followers are united by PREJUDICE. They don't give a shit about anything else.

That's why Trump can wreck the middle class with healthcare cuts, social security cuts, medicare cuts.. no one in his side cares as long as you stick it to the other side.

I mean for FFS if Trump said he wants to build Auswitz 4 in Alabama and march all these migrants into there and have their gassing televised.. he'd not lose 1 vote.
