Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty in corruption trial

Well, this puts Schumer in the awkward position of expelling a senator while there is a razor-thin majority.

The governor will appoint his replacement.  Not sure how quickly that can be put in effect, but maybe the same day.

Booker and MSNBC say that 8 other high-ranking Dems are calling for him to be removed.

Gov Murphy is a second term Democrat, doubt that the Menendez seat will change hands.

What a relief! That'll come in handy in a second Trump presidency.

expel that cunt and rid the party of garbage.  Make a public spectacle of him and use that felony conviction as a show of why no one should support the other felonious candidate.

 

I am sure the Dems are in discussion with the governor over who is going to be appointed

At first thought I agree completely. But perhaps democrats are wrong about everything. Given the lies, duplicity and outright scumbaggary. How is it possible for Trump to even register support in polls? Now Trump and the GOP is talking about reconciliation. Setting aside divisions and bringing all America together. Love all around.

At least until the election, until its 2025. Then its....2025.

Dems need to learn how to lie, cheat, fight, put their boots on the scales of justice. Is this holier than thou attitude is inconsistent with American voters?

Democrats need to learn how to fight dirty, yes, but doing it illegally or corruptly only furthers the downfall path we are already on.  No corruption fixes corruption.

And now that Menendez has 16 felony convictions, he could be a formidable candidate to take on Trump this fall!

Exactly! Clearly with Clarence Thomas and his cabal on the USSC the deck is stacked. If Menendez was a republican the whole clan would be screaming bias, framed, persecuted. Now Biden wants to ban Ar-15s. Now we all know that Joe would be in favor of this. But isn't this a dead issue? Corruption a dead issue? Reproductive rights a issue for the unimportant second classes because Jebus matters more?

Logic,truth, common sense, the lives of innocents have to be sacrificed in order to pander to the voter. People were weeping when Trump was introduced at the GOP convention. The empathy and love for him was evident to everyone there. Endless repeating the facts about the character and principals of Trump. Is akin to banging your head against a brick wall.

pretty much no one in the country gives a fuck about policy anymore IMO.  Biden would be better served playing culture wars and so on for the rest of the campaign.... Call Trump a crook, con man, convicted felon, rapist, fraudster and do it every single day.  He would do better to step aside and let Kamala do that, as she could also use the race card with personal experiences no doubt.

I am not sure than anyone even gives a fuck about women losing bodily autonomy or abortion or even access to birth control.  That was going to win the election for Biden 6 months ago, now it does not even make the back pages. 

I think the right has won soundly, I think we will be forever changed into an authoritarian theocracy, and the only solution will be civil war, which will also not solve anything for decades.....

The country is done if Trump wins, the only hope is that all the democrat voters still show up and happen to outnumber the GOP voters.  I no longer believe that can happen.  Aileen Cannon's ruling on day one of the RNC was absolutely 100% planned and orchestrated by the court system and whatever secret society they have to talk to each other about how they are going to enable Trump.

Not so secret. It is called The Heritage Foundation.

Come on guys. The assassination attempt has blessed Trump with a new ear to hear the people. He is now going conciliatory. Espousing ideas that America needs to come together. He will get fuzzy on abortion and hard line politics. Unfortunately his right hand man J.D. Vance will be a little off script. Vance talking about a total abortion ban, more guns, smacking corporate America to help the "little Brown and Black man", etc.

No need for war anymore. When they say "fight,fight,fight" it merely means more cash is needed to keep those dastardly dems in their place.

Vanity Fair has a good article on Vance "For years, some of Vance’s loudest opinions have been about gender, the role women ought to have in a society(sorry Wendy it will only be four years), and abortion. In 2023, Vance introduced legislation that would make providing hormones or surgery to transgender minors punishable by up to 12 years in prison. “We’re effectively run in this country,” Vance began telling his ally Tucker Carlson, “by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable.”

And on abortion, Vance has said he would support a country-wide ban, noting in a 2022 podcast interview, “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” In 2021, he lauded Texas’ near-total abortion ban and argued against exceptions for rape and incest, referring to those experiences as “inconvenient,” adding, “two wrong don’t make a right.”

Trump sure can pickem. In a way I'm becoming an admirer of Trump. Nobody has a better grasp on the baser psychology of people. For someone completely lacking empathy or a moral center. He knows where the buttons of motivation are.

A wannabe scumbag politician:

House candidate suspends bid over media coverage of 1989 murder conviction

“When I embarked on this, I expected fair, respectful treatment by the press and my party, and to serve my constituents,” wrote Edgington, who was seeking a floterial seat representing Hudson and Litchfield, in a message. He said reporting by the NH Journal had been unfair, inaccurate, and “salacious” but declined to give specifics.

Awww, did the big bad media hurt the little snowflake's feelings? :-(

With Trump bragging that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose votes. You'd think that a double standard is at play in the GOP. After all whats a voter here or there. After all there are over 200 million running around.

In the ongoing saga of the MAGA toady ex-county clerk (Mesa County CO), she just learned that even a corrupt SCOTUS isn't a dependable crime partner. Rejected by Neil Gorsuch.

I think Mike Johnson is a despicable human being, to the point of being evil. He is determined to undermine the legal system and is questioning the FBI’s statements about shrapnel 

“Johnson said he didn’t find Wray’s testimony credible.

“We’ve all seen the video, we’ve seen the analysis, we’ve heard it from multiple sources in different angles that a bullet went through his ear. I’m not sure it matters that much,” Johnson said.”

His whole demeanour is slimy and snakelike.

We haven't seen a single official medical report.

NOT ONE.

 

Donnie Von Schitzenpants has been seen in public without the mini-pad on his ear.
Nobody has been able to identify a bullet wound or scar.

Makes you wonder if the blood spatters on his face were someone else's blood.

Rumor is he can't release the medical records because the IRS is auditing them. ;-)

I've seen more blood from a mosquito bite. But it plays well to support his martyr image with his base.
