    See how easy that was? Now why is it so hard if there’s an R next to their name?

      The courts were stacked with Republicans. This is why local elections are just as or even more important than the national ones. Everything starts small.

    He’s still a sitting Senator and won’t resign despite the NJ Governor Murphy calling for him to do so. The Senate will have to expel him, and then Murphy will appoint a replacement.

    Excellent… regardless of what party any politician is in, we need a full scale investigation on corruption for call local/state/federal politicians and agencies.

    And lo, the conservatives looked out for all the progressives and democrats who would defend this man as they would their own, and found none, because they’re not hypocritical pieces of shit.

      I believed the second pair of parentheses is messing up your hyperlink, however upon a test of copying and pasting the link directly, it seems that your link doesn’t work.

      And? Throw crooks in prison, regardless of party. What, did you expect Democrats to defend him? Nah, circling the wagons is what Republicans do.

        Hi @kescusay,
        100% agree with you : Crooks should go to prison. Still, i was disappointed because i didn’t know which party that crook belong to so i searched and i was hoping to find that he was from the Republican… but, allas, no.

        P.S. : Retrospectively there was about 50% ways of misreading my above comment and maybe 95% of all readers here have misinterpreted it. Go figure !

          No worries, it happens. This is the internet, after all. No way to convey tone of voice.
