I'm not seeing ANY Democrats ignoring or denying Senator Menendez's corruption, so there's still hope for them.

I'm very curious why the Libs chose to expose Menendez now? Is this a deflection away from Biden?

The corruption in DC is more widespread than anyone can comprehend.

I'm still wondering what the solution is? How to purge DC of all the thieves who are selling us out?
Menendez got charged because there was enough evidence of crimes to get a Grand Jury to indict him, same as Trump. The DOJ is good about things like that.

Crime doesn’t have a party affiliation. As the Democrats have often repeated, if there is evidence, indict. If found guilty at trial by a jury, lock them up.

Proves Merrick Garland is on the job. You don’t always hear about investigations and Grand Juries before the indictments are handed down.

Menendez should resign.

In the end, there is no "evidence." Otherwise it would be presented - or the GOP are incapable of governing and correcting things they find wrong.
I’ll go with “What is the GOP capable of?” For $1000, Alex.

DC must die for America to live. A Convention of States is the most preferable way to kill DC, but its not the only way. We could be defeated by foreign powers, which would be the least preferable way. A takeover by the military or by we the people are the only other ways I can think of.
We have a neighbor who has had a sign supporting "A Convention of States" since Biden was elected! I think that is something that should be promoted, as I don't think a lot of people are aware of that possibility. Gosh, my son has been in the military for 25 years, and is an officer in security. They were doing "exercises" in our country that concerned me. I told him, "Don't come to my door and try to take my freedom away!"

I have realized that my freedom means EVERYTHING to me, more than anything else.

The plan is to replace our government with a corrupt form of Marxism, and anyone that isn't rich and going to get richer with that is as dumb as a turnip to support it!

Great read: https://www.heritage.org/progressivi...cans-can-fight

"How Cultural Marxism Threatens the United States—and How Americans Can Fight It"

Even this push of "transgenderism" is linked to Marxist theory:

https://newsocialist.org.uk/introduc...ender-marxism/

https://hardonsj.org/influence-of-ma...-states-today/

"The Influence of Marxism in the United States Today"

And, my question to the liberals who parrot the nonsense associated with Marxism: "In what country do you see this working?" They have this fantasy that everyone would be "equal" - maybe they should join the Amish, as they practice a pure form of communism, not the corrupt form.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m...f%20production.

"Marxism is a philosophy, while communism is a system of government based on Marxist principles. Marx envisioned a society in which workers owned the means of production. In real-world communism, governments own the means of production."

Wake up America! The election of 2024 is our ONLY chance of possibly surviving the plague of the Marxists!

Also: Let's keep in mind that those that cross those behind this movement are "silenced" permanently!

Trump & Russia (if you believe that), The Biden's & China, Ukraine, & others, Menendez & Egypt.

Do you think this is all there is? I'll bet EVERY foreign county has bought a DC politician or Two, or Three.

I believe they are all doing this, stealing from their campaign stash, taking bribes from big biz, ect..

It's pervasive now...they've become better at skirting around the laws so its nearly impossible to nail them, & they've paid off the law enforcement agencies to comply.

So, now what?

First you need to get the money out of politics. To do that, you need to overturn Citizens United. To do that you need a different SCOTUS.

This has been going on since long before we’ve been alive, and it will take a human lifespan to change it, presuming voters can work together long enough to get started.

You do the math.

The majority of Americans, especially those under 40, are too distracted with social media conventions and entertainments (bread and circuses) to know what’s truly going on in this country.

Well, all we can do is demand supervised and fair elections in the country and vote corrupted and incompetent officials out of office.

I’m against any form of political violence, but if elections are not fair with obvious and very questionable activities of operatives like unsupervised 3AM massive vote dumps off cameras or any other cross checks, I do support civil disobedience through REAL PEACEFUL protests… Unlike the Left’s “fiery, but mostly peaceful protests.”

I do not support a “Civil War” against the Left, as long as the Constitution is still the law of the land and our three branches of government is still functioning, even at a semi functioning levels. But, if the Left, who are the true threat to our Constitutional Republic, attempt to illegally seize complete power within the country and abolish the Constitution, than my stance would have to change to defend the Republic from all domestic threats to the country and U.S. Constitution.

Term limits and campaign finance reform would be 2 giant leaps forward in diffusing corruption.

Promblem is, the politicians now in power won't implement either, so we must vote new people into office who will implement both.

The DC swamp is self perpetuating. If they feel their job is in jeopardy they will take it upon themselves to gum up the works or take initiative and others will follow their lead. They use and latch on to things like climate change or insurrection as a tool. The means aren't necessarily for th end.

lol. I'm sure you'd said the same every time Garland stated that he won't comment on a current investigation.

Instead of doing like the J6 committee 'made for tv variety show' (that the poor dears never did win an Emmy for), Comer should just do like Garland and say that he won't comment on a current investigation, then leak like a sieve and make an occasional comment if he needs to push public thinking into a certain direction.
