Hey moron "Republicans" - weaponization of DOJ? Maybe he should switch to the GOP and run for President since criminal convictions seem to be a BFOQ for being a GOPer. Sen. Menendez convicted of bribery, other charges in corruption trial NEW YORK — Sen. Bob Menendez was convicted Tuesday of taking bribes from three businessmen who showered him and his wife with cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, an extravagant bounty for his help securing deals with foreign officials and trying to derail several criminal investigations in New Jersey. The jury in Manhattan federal court found the once-powerful New Jersey lawmaker guilty on all 16 felony counts. They include bribery, extortion, wire fraud, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt from 2018 to 2022, when Menendez was at the height of his influence in Washington, serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee or as the panel’s top Democrat while his party was in the minority. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/07/16/bob-menendez-convicted-trial-bribery/

Former president Bill Clinton, speaking during the third night of the Democratic convention on Wednesday, presented a bit of data meant to promote his party — and, indirectly, his period in office. “You’re going to have a hard time believing this, but so help me, I triple-checked it,” Clinton began. “Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear I checked this three times. Even I couldn’t believe it. What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans one.” That is: 50 million jobs added under Democratic presidents and 1 million under Republicans. “One,” Clinton continued. After referring to vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz’s past job as a high school football coach, Clinton spiked the ball. “But even the most limited of us in what we know about football, or any other sport, knows that if you’ve got 50 and the other side’s got one, you’re ahead.” This is one measure, obviously selected for effect. But Clinton’s not wrong. There have been six presidents since 1989, three from each party. Under the three Democrats — Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden — there was a cumulative increase of 50 million more people working between the starts of their terms and the ends. Under the three Republicans — George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump — the cumulative total was, in fact, only 1 million. (That’s starting at the beginning of the elder Bush’s term, not the fall of the Berlin Wall a few months later that marked the start of the Cold War’s demise.) If we extend the point backward a bit further, to the end of World War II, the difference is still striking. Each party has had seven presidents since that time, with 88 million jobs added under Democrats and 32 million under Republicans. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/22/clinton-dnc-jobs-created-since-cold-war/

When will the weaponization of DOJ against "Republicans" cease? Oh wait, never mind . . . A senior aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York was charged on Tuesday with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China for using her position to further the Chinese government’s interests, including by blocking Taiwanese officials’ access to the governor’s office. The 65-page indictment detailed 10 criminal counts that included visa fraud, money laundering and other crimes, and accused the aide, Linda Sun, 40, of accepting substantial economic benefits in exchange for actions that benefited the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. The accusations, if true, would represent a brazen manipulation of New York’s state government at the highest level, covering several years under the administrations of Ms. Hochul and her predecessor, Andrew M. Cuomo. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/03/nyregion/linda-sun-arrested-hochul.html?unlocked_article_code=1.H04.0ihc.ErHv5-uiJ32z&smid=em-share

I find it odd that we haven't received any updates on "Hunter Biden's pardon" from dear old dad. Strange, no? It's almost as though one side has respect for the law and the other has absolutely none but attempts to assert that both sides are equally reprehensible. There should be a word for that. I'm pretty sure there is one.

There goes that damn weaponized DOJ again Cue Democrats lining up to make excuses for him. Oh, wait. That's, literally, only the other side that does that. In fact, AOC has already called for his resignation. You "Republicans" see the glaring difference yet? They're the law and order party/cult just as Trump is going to, "save women," if he wins. Then again, don't we all know rapists that, deep down, are all about caring for and protecting women? So, I could be off-base. As for Mayor Adams, if he's guilty, he should be prosecuted. Full stop. See how easy that is, "Republicans" to want to apply equal treatment under the law to all citizens? Why do you folks not believe in that? You can't all be criminals that, if you were to be caught, would hope for Trump level leniency. So, what's the motivation? Also, how's that Biden investigation going? I haven't heard much about that recently. What's the status of Hunter Biden's "pardon?" I assume that already happened as his dad has already agreed not to run for president. Surely, he already signed that pardon. I just must've missed it in the news. Wallet folks? What say you? And, now that I'm done joking around, is there a point at which you folks will acknowledge your hypocrisy? It's okay to do it. Believe me, literally everyone else already knows. Sauce for the goose as one of our own used to love to say when he used to make actual points and didn't need to twist himself into knots to avoid sounding entirely ridiculous. The good old days.

Even dumber, lead by the bad actor chorus of Musk and Ackman, it’s a big set up by the Feds because he was “speaking the truth about immigration”. Musk and Ackman have completely lost it in the galaxy brain conspiratorial morass of the MAGA cult.
