    Politico begs the question: Are Senate Dems blowing it on Menendez?

    Is it because Bribed Joe is Irish and Menendez is Cuban?

    What has Menendez done that Bribed Joe hasn't done, in spades?

    Avalanche: Booker demands Menendez resignation - but not Bribed Joe's resignation.

    'Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and No. 2 leader Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), meanwhile, have already made statements standing by Menendez' and they also stand beside Bribed Joe.

    'Don’t forget that the Senate Ethics Committee looked past Menendez’ escape by mistrial in 2017 and condemned Menendez in 2018 for having “knowingly and repeatedly accepted gifts of significant value from Dr. Melgen” over a six-year period — the very issue in his first corruption trial.'

    Hey, he sees what Bribed Joe is doing and figures: "Why not me too?"

    'Menendez used his status as a senator to help Melgen, including by intervening after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that Melgen had overbilled them by $8.9 million, the committee said.'

    Get caught ripping off Medicare, bribe a Senator and have him 'take care of it." Not unlike Burisma bribing Joe to get the prosecutor off their backs, and Bribed Joe bragged about withhold a $B in aid until they fired the prosecutor investigating the folks that were paying Crackhead Hunter $83,333/mo for a no show job. Why the odd number? Because the $5M bribe to Crackhead Hunter was paid off over 5 years in monthly installments.

    'Menendez is back at it, this time with mountains of cash and gold bars hidden all over his home, cash that has the fingerprints of people for whom Menendez did favors.'

    Why are all these Democrats calling for Menendez to resign, but not Bribed Joe? I urge Menendez to call them out on their disparate treatment of a POC and tell them to shove their resignation demands right up their noses. If Joe doesn't have to resign for bribery, why does Menendez?

    Please discuss.

    God, I wish he would! For the good of the country. At least Nixon had the decency to resign.

    then, hopefully Trump will be too tangled up on legal issues to be President, and Joe will be gone. We can then hopefully get some sanity back in the whitehouse!

    Because there is evidence against Menedez (which the Obama administration brought charges against, which the Trump administration dismissed while Trump personally defended Menedez, and the Biden administration charged again), but there is no evidence Biden was bribed. The more you know!

    Level of evidence currently available. I haven't seen the level of evidence against him that there is against Menendez.

    They continue to deny the evidence.
    The emails and texts from hunters laptop.
    The 20 shell companies that have no product or service, no business plan and no employees.
    The many bank accounts.
    The over $20 MILLION from foreign entities into those accounts for ........ something ..... maybe.
    Payments to biden family members for no apparent reason.

    Classic money laundering operation.
    But no evidence.
    Nope.
    Nothing to see here.
    Move along.

    The Corrupt DOJ answers to Bribed Joe, it does not answer to Bribed Menendez.

    Individually?
    Probably nothing except the payments from foreign entities.
    Collectively?
    Classic money laundering operation.
    Illegal.

    Now consider;
    Travel from Deleware to Illinois
    With a prepubescent child not a relative.
    To meet a pedophile.

    Individually nothing illegal about any of it.
    Collectively?
    Classic child sex ring operation.

    You see now, or do you still want to defend biden?

    Did you decide the steele dossier made trump ineligible to hold office?

    Are you sure your ability to objectively evaluate facts and evidence isn't compromised by your politics?

    The Menendez and Biden Scandals Look Similar

    [​IMG]
    Bribed Joe.

    'The two stories are far more alike than the media wants to admit.' Both involve 'the relatives of Democratic politicians taking bribes from foreign governments.'

    Menendez or Bribed Joe?

    'In late 2018, an accident left REDACTED without a car, the indictment says. One of the businesspeople allegedly stepped in in April 2019 to help her buy a Mercedes-Benz C-300 convertible, at one point texting an associate to request $15,000 in cash. The following day, the businessperson met REDACTED in a restaurant parking lot and handed REDACTED “approximately $15,000 in cash” … REDACTED bought the car for about $60,000 the next day and [the associate] made at least six monthly payments on the loan, prosecutors contend.'

    Menendez or Bribed Joe?

    'Prosecutors have also asked about paperwork REDACTED used to purchase a car through funds from REDACTED, according to people familiar with the matter. In April 2014, a business associate of REDACTED from REDACTED wired $142,300 to REDACTED, according to bank statements reviewed by The Wall Street Journal … the documents show … they were earmarked in a bank record as “For a Car.”

    Then can you tell me why you are so quick to defend Biden in the face of very compelling evidence, but also so quick to convict Trump based on the Steele dossier that has been so thoroughly discredited even Steele says it isn't true?

    How about the real reason.

    One is indicted and charged.
    One is not.

    Maybe you are not aware, but Hunter is NOT the president.

    No, but Hunter's daddy is, and he's been lying about his involvement with Hunters "business".
    Care to tell us, since the evidence points to Hunter doing "pay for play" on Daddies name, why daddy would tolerate that? You wouldn't be thinking that daddy wouldn't know about that cause, you know, daddy never talks to Hunter about business, right?

    If Menendez' last name were Bribed Biden, he wouldn't be under indictment.

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/biden-poll-freakout

    'not one but two polls showing President Joe Biden in dire political shape. The most newsworthy of the polls came from the Washington Post and ABC News. Biden's job approval rating in the new survey is 37%, with disapproval at 56%. Approval of his handling of the economy is 30%. Approval of his handling of the border crisis is 23%. The survey found deep unhappiness about the state of the economy in general, energy prices, food prices, and the income of average workers. Only 33% of Democrats said they want Biden to run for a second term, versus 62% who don't.'

    His polls have fallen and they cannot get up.

    [​IMG]

    'Those are terrible numbers for a sitting president, but truth be told, they're not all that different from the results we've seen in many polls in recent months. So why the frenzy? Because of this question from the pollsters: "If the 2024 presidential election were being held today and the candidates were Donald Trump and Joe Biden, for whom would you vote? Would you lean toward Trump or Biden?" The result was decisive: Trump held a 10-point lead, 52% to 42%, among registered voters.'

    Given that they aren't demanding Bribed Joe resign, Menendez should tell them to shove it, he'll see them in court.

    You'd have to give specific charges in order to comment on it.
    So far, there's been nothing.

    Federal Rules of Evidence might be helpful as a guideline but it’s likely not relevant to political porn producers. It’s not good masturbation material.

    STAND STRONG, BOB MENENDEZ!

    'A growing number of Democrats have called on Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) to resign after federal prosecutors merely indicted him on corruption charges. Not since the morally unconscionable #MeToo crucifixion of former Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) have Democrats so swiftly thrown a colleague under the bus to placate a mob.'

    'This egregious rush to judgment is enough to make us miss the days when Democrats reflexively distrusted law enforcement. Schumer and other senators should treat Menendez with the same presumption of innocence that they themselves would wish to be afforded if their own house was raided and revealed to hold several kilos gold bullion of undetermined origin.'

    While Bribed Biden skates,they demand the POC resign!
