It’s been 3 weeks since the first indictment came out. Schumer still hasn’t demanded Menendez resign when he forced out Al Franken within 3 weeks.
I can’t stand Schumer’s hypocrisy on how he’s treating Menendez with kid gloves when he pressured Franken to resign in private. I consider corruption in office and essentially being a bribed agent of Egypt a bigger problem than anything Franken had done.
I have been wondering about the cause and motivation for Skanky’s vicious attacks on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his admiration, praise, and support for Hamas’ terrorism.
Does anyone know whether this might be related to the views of his newest girlfriend (fiancée?) Alina Habba? Is she a Hamas sympathizer or simply pro-Palestinian and is he trying to get some brownie points with her?
Was he making money selling the SCIF and national security secrets he stole to Hamas and America’s enemies in the run-up to the terrorist attacks.
Also, I know that Skanky believes its is possible he is King of Israel and may be showing tough paternal love.
Anyone understand this any better?
A common trope in alien invasion and giant asteroid movies is that mankind drops all enmity and starts to cooperate. When faced with a mess caused exclusively by our own behavior, not so much.
Once a terra nullius, always a terra nullius.
The grim reality - when it is recognized that disaster is not just approaching at a steady rate - but is approaching at a pace in which the rate of the rate of change is aggressively increasing … you are exponentially screwed!
… or logarithmically screwed?
Basically it becomes free fall … until “splat” … or “kaboom” .
Nadine Arslanian and Andy Aslanian? Very weird.
Episcopalian?
Presbyterian?
Suspect not …
Floridian?
On CNN, Mike Pence went on and on about Jordan’s ‘unquestionable integrity’. What rock does he live under? Rhetorical.

“How long are Democrats going to stand by in the world of identity politics, and zero-sum politics, and not be part of any solution? We’ll see. I think there’s more cards to be played before Democrats jump in.” - David Gregory, CNN, former NBC reporter/MTPress host
Next time some idiot says the House chaos is the Dems fault, tell them Hakeem Jefferies (D) has been advocating for a power sharing role all along. He has a better chance to Speaker by 217 votes since Dems have 212 and only need 5 moderate Rep votes.
Because Schumer sneaked Menendez in when no one was looking? The people who re-elected Menendez should be apologizing daily. And also Menendez, he should be groveling at our feet for mercy, of which none is owed. How this is Schumer’s fault is beyond me.
Roberto needs to resign, that is the meat of the matter
Leave the Italians out of it.
Yes. This particular time.
Between Menendez working on behalf of a foreign government against an American citizen and his wife killing another person who, apparently, threw himself against her windshield, you have two hideous people.
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Money. It’s a terrible temptation when handed over in a bag
Putin’s speech today about how Russia is so much winning in Ukraine and elsewhere shows how desperate things have gotten. In recent days, Russians have been losing a thousand soldiers a day and lots of equipment on the front in Ukraine. To hide this tremendous waste of Russian lives, the Putin administration has become much more active in stoking international conflicts. Niger, Gaza and most recently the possibility of Azerbaijan invading Armenia proper for a further land grab. Much of this involves the thawing of “frozen conflicts”, some frozen for decades, the geopolitical equivalents of tv dinners. But that doesn’t count cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns in hybrid space in virtually all “unfriendly countries” or state acts of vandalism such as the destruction of the gas pipeline and telecommunications cables between Finland and Estonia. Needless to say, that’s a lot of squirrels for the media to follow. I sincerely doubt things will get better if the House GOP installs a Putinist as Speaker.
Where did you get the information that Russia is losing a thousand troops a day?
Is there an established procedure in Senate Rules? Has it ever been done? Afaik, even Joseph McCarthy was merely censured, not expelled.
WKIPEDIA:
The United States Constitution gives the Senate the power to expel any member by a two-thirds vote.[1] This is distinct from the power over impeachment trials and convictions that the Senate has over executive and judicial federal officials: the Senate ruled in 1798 that senators could not be impeached, but only expelled, while debating the impeachment trial of William Blount, who had already been expelled.[2] Expulsion has not occurred since the Civil War.[1]
Censure, a lesser punishment which represents a formal statement of disapproval, has been more common since the start of the 20th century. Although censure carries no formal punishment, only one senator (Benjamin R. Tillman) of the nine to be censured has ever been re-elected. Unlike the House of Representatives, which also disciplines by reprimand, a censure is the weakest form of discipline the Senate issues.
