    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.

      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.

    Great. You’ve shown us the “DoJ Gate” works fine for both sides of the aisle.

    Now do the republican traitors.

      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.

      He runs unopposed in NJ because positions in the Senate are based on seniority. It rarely makes sense to replace a senator with experience.
