Kentucky Republican AG Daniel Cameron sent a total of 2 emails to senior staff in 2022, 9 in the first half of 2023 and not a single text message, per an open records request of his comms with top aides.
His office won't say what's going on. https://t.co/plepLNiSCw

Why are you using a racist term? Are you doing this purposely because you hate black people who don't align with your views?

I would never argue that we should put conditions on voting other than age and citizenship but man someone skilled could make an argument that there are many Americans on every side of the political spectrum that should have limited 'powers'. I know that sounds totally contradictory and I really don't want to get in an internet pissing match about 'which people I would exclude' but my God, the longer I live the more and more I see stupid. I know, stupid people are people too. I just cringe thinking about them having a say in our leadership. We might as well spin a wheel.
Point made but who chooses is the even slippery slope

Senator Menendez has a right to test the government’s evidence in court, just like any other citizen. He should be judged by jurors and New Jersey’s voters, not by Democratic politicians who now view him as inconvenient to their hold on power.

Unlike the GOP, the democratic party should hold its members to a higher standard. Menendez should resign and if he doesn't, he should immediately be stripped of all committee assignments.

I'm not sure about that, unless you consider our Supreme Court to be a technicality (personally, I consider it a farce). A few years back the Supreme Court rewrote our legislation (McDonnell) to make corruption much more narrow. This self serving act made Supreme Court corruption far less likely to be considered illegal.
I bet Menendez walks. I'm still voting for Andy Kim.
At this point I would hope our standards for corruption are higher than the corrupt radical clerics appointed by Leonard Leo and his billionaires.dajo9 said:Unit2Sucks said:If Menendez isn't convicted, it will be due to some technicality.okaydo said:Senator Menendez has a right to test the government’s evidence in court, just like any other citizen.

Like I said, I'm voting for Kim. But our corruption laws are whatever the corrupt Supreme Court says they are.

"ladies and gentleman of the jury, if I'm guilty of anything it's trying too hard to win a friendly wager. My friends bet me several gold bars, a mercedes and half a mil in cash that I couldn't use my government influence to help them and the country of Egypt. I won the bet fair and square. Offbooks gambling is a time-honored tradition in New Jersey and I'm confident the Supreme Court will back me up on this. I was planning on filing taxes any day now."
I don't want this to be confused with me defending Menendez. I'm not. I will be voting for Kim.
I am castigating the self-serving law that the Supreme Court wrote for us.
Do they have Menendez on record with a quid pro quo? If not, I think he walks on corruption charges.

Great example of the difference in media treatment of GOP and democrats. If the parties were reversed, all of the right wing news outlets (which have no pretense of being unbiased) would call this a witch hunt 24/7 and mock it relentlessly.okaydo said:U.S. Rep.

The GOP controls the house and instead of passing a budget to keep our government running they are focused on these ridiculous witch hunts which Trump has demanded they do.
The mainstream media treats these clowns as if they are serious professionals while their conservative media treats everyone who doesn't tow their line as a clown.
What we are seeing from the congressional GOP is pathetic and the most we get from the popular press is long-form articles dryly pointing out factual errors and avoiding calling out the obviously ridiculousness of what's going on in in order to appear unbiased.
A lot of people think the mainstream press is trying to keep things competitive in order to increase the demand for their coverage but I suspect it's more about a misguided attempt to appear to be unbiased which is resulting in a de facto bias in favor of the GOP.

I mean he is the secretary of the interior right?
This is yet another reminder that the GOP likes to play the role of fiscally responsible politicians but in reality they are spendthrifts who increase our deficit.
They could be passing a fiscally responsible budget right now but they are focused on a sham impeachment "inquiry" they even their witnesses call into question.
They cut taxes to satisfy their donors and lie to the American public about the laffer curve. When they do have concrete ideas for budget cuts it's always in two categories: first, cuts to the IRS in order to protect their tax cheats which just further increases our deficits and second, cuts to any services which don't directly benefit their donors. So they attack healthcare, education funding and all social services aimed at helping the less fortunate.
And yes, redecorating seems like a pathetic bipartisan tradition for cabinet members. That plus government funded travel. Most cabinet members (democrat or GOP) are NPCs who provide no value to the administration but manage to spend like crazy and then use their connections to enrich themselves and their families. The GOP only takes notice of this sort of thing when it's a Biden.
