The left will tend to defend bad behavior.

The right tend to be OK penalizing the offender.
I guess paying off a porn star to keep quiet doesn't constitute "bad behavior" in your right wing Christian world.

That is hilarious, considering how much the right is defending and whitewashing the Jan 6 riot, Trump's numerous misdeeds including obstruction of justice in the Comey firing, trying to blackmail Zelensky to get dirt on Hunter Biden, trying to overturn the election results, and so on, not to mention defending the likes of sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, etc., etc. The list is endless. And the GOP incessantly attempts to dismiss it all.

Most politicians receive illegal money and then lie about it. The real question is what did he do to make them take it public? Did he not vote a certain way or handout the correct amount of kickbacks?

We are so corrupt, both sides of the aisle.

corporations should not be donating to any political campaigns, period. in my opinion, reform should only allow private individuals who are registered voters to voluntarily donate - no one else. get all this dark money out of our political system. there should also be a limit of $100.00 annually to which an individual can contribute. watch your politicians change real quick. there should also be a cap on total campaign finances not to exceed 100,000 annually.

Nice to see Pelosi and McCarthy agree the guy should resign.

Which he finally did.

All this foreign money, allowed by the Conservative SCOTUS, shows what happens when the courts become activist.

Partisan nonsense. There are plenty of republican examples, I seem to recall the NY congressman who was the first to endorse Trump finally resigning only after he was arrested. Plenty of other republican misdeeds.

The Citizens United decision was about corporate funding, the concern was an increase but in reality the decsion opened the door to the dark money pouring into super PAC's that have corrupted the system.

Whats worse...this guy accepting illegal campaign contributions, or those currently in power, 'using' federal authorities, to attack someone from the other party? LOL


Dont even bother replying that 'federal authorities' are 100% impartial....this is the US after all!
