    See how easy that was? Now why is it so hard if there’s an R next to their name?

      Because someone in the media whispers to them “hey yeah but wouldn’t in be fun if instead you spent the next 6 weeks trying unseat your own nominee” and they go “TAHTS’ SUCH A GOOD IDEA” and get busy on it

      No one intervenes if the system goes after a Democrat, so it can all just happen as normal

      The courts were stacked with Republicans. This is why local elections are just as or even more important than the national ones. Everything starts small.

    He’s still a sitting Senator and won’t resign despite the NJ Governor Murphy calling for him to do so. The Senate will have to expel him, and then Murphy will appoint a replacement.

      Do it. Do it now! Grab some media attention showing Democrats getting rid of their unethical members while the Republicans are celebrating theirs.

      True story… when my kid got married and bought a house 5 years ago, I gifted them an ounce of gold. $1,800 then. $2,470.32.

      So +$670.32! Yay!

      But over 5 years? :(

      $134.064 / year.

        Erm - 6.5% interest rate is a decent inflation compensation. If there wasn’t a risk even with gold, I’d use gold as my “secure savings” account.

    And lo, the conservatives looked out for all the progressives and democrats who would defend this man as they would their own, and found none, because they’re not hypocritical pieces of shit.

      I believed the second pair of parentheses is messing up your hyperlink, however upon a test of copying and pasting the link directly, it seems that your link doesn’t work.
