The Democrats

[specialsauce]

Looks like Eric Adams, the (Dem) governor of NY, may have taken some dirty foreign money.

Unfortunate…. Kinda liked him.

They are ALL corrupt. Just some more than others.

Hey, In2, whether I think your sources are valid or not, I appreciate you being in here making your case. It's good to have opposing view points. Until we figure out how to work together as a country, things won't improve. As far as I know, this is the most divisive time in US history since I've been born.

Yup, +1 to this. Happy to have you around in here, In2.

They are almost ALL corrupt. Just some more than others.

Truth, though I fixed it a little

Dems flip a House seat in Florida.

[Cap]

So at least 8% of voters in that district voted for Biden for President and DeSantis for Governor. (Assuming, for sake of discussion, it was the same electorate in both elections.)

This Twitter/X account tracks Nancy Pelosi's various stock purchases and sales, noticing that she seems to perform very well on them. The implication is that she uses insider knowledge from her governmental work to buy/sell stocks right before various legislation goes through. I'm not a fan of that; I know that several congress critters do things like that and it should be (probably is) illegal. I would favor cracking down more on stuff like this. It's too easy a vector for corruption.

[Superbone]

I think most of government does this on both sides of the aisles and it stinks and is illegal.

[In2ition]

But would they ever really crack down on their own widespread corrupt practices? I'm doubtful. Too much money involved and too many people doing it. It would be another "we thoroughly investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing. Case closed, and if you bring it up again, you are just a dangerous conspiracy theorist...er domestic terrorist, hellbent on destroying our sacred DEMOCRACY". Did I do that right?

Yes we know the GOP wants Trump to do away with Democracy and make it a Maga Christian country where Trump decides everything about everything and of course a President can do anything he want’s legally and that is much better than the fraudulent Democracy.

What I said went right over your head, huh? This stuff in looney tunes.

We were talking about corrupt practices in Congress and made a comment on how they would never actually indict themselves, with some comedy on what they would say, and you made it about Trump with your half-cocked slants and beliefs.

[In2ition]

I never even heard of Dean Phillips(my bad), until Andrew Yang was on a Spaces last night mentioned his support for him.

This information comes from "SOURCE"?

But the President should have absolute immunity and be able to engage in anything he wants, including insider trading, right?

[Mori Chu]

I don't see why Joe Biden doesn't exercise his TOTAL IMMUNITY by just having Donald Trump killed, along with every Republican in Congress. It would be perfectly fine, since he wouldn't be impeached, right?

[Nodack]

Trump and his lawyers agree. He could only get in trouble if the Dems voted to impeach him. If they are anything like the GOP none of them would vote to impeach him. Republicans wouldn’t vote to impeach because they would all be gone.

This of course is totally ridiculous but, that is the defense Trump is giving.
