And yet here we are… where both parties end up with the same outcome. You can claim that it’s false equivalency, yet in the real world, either party… companies are in charge. Either party, nobody wants to strip out the corruption.
It’s not “false” equivalency when both sides literally yield the same outcome. Are individuals different in the parties? Sure. I never said otherwise. However here we are looking at outcomes… and they’re the fucking same. Don’t “false equivalency” me again.

But it’s not the same outcome. Plenty of democrats are calling for his resignation. They aren’t goosestep lockstep in this at all. It’s a debate, not a foregone conclusion that “our guy is to be protected.” How is that not better?
…but seeing a little street life and crime, I feel like most regular people are extremely naive to the dirtiness of business, organized religion, and politics. None of those things came from truth, they came from ego and fear.
If I’ve learned anything in life is that the street and mainstream are the same. The same evil tactics are used by both and some are even normalized into [capitalistic] society.
A lot of what some people call success or American dream, is actually pure arrogance, ego and evil.
I’ve met people that will do anything to remain free. …and they are still middle/low class without much to get things done… imagine a rush person and what they can do with their money.
Nations are gangs… political parties are gangs it’s all the same dumb shitty lifestyle. Your gang/mob pays your court bills, your donations pay your politicians court bills. It’s all fucking sick.
This government mafia bullshit needs to end and so do the street gangs.
Can I see that crystal ball of yours that shows us an outcome that can take weeks or months after only the initial few days? I’m happy to verify it for myself.
You realize he can still resign, right? And that his local party - including the governor of the state he represents - has called for his resignation? You think this is a done deal for some reason lol
It’s whatever. You’ll delete these comments or go “well it was just this one time” if he resigns or is convicted and removed. You’ll find any excuse to make sure you never have to consider maybe, just maybe, there is a difference between the two parties. If the repeal of Roe or Jan 6th didn’t show you that, what will?

In what way is the outcome the same?
Republicans support their own, try to label investigations as politically motivated, then pardon people who are convicted.
Democrats are calling for this guy to resign right away, and Biden says he won’t pardon his own SON if convicted.
Looks like a huge difference in outcomes to me.
So he’s resigning? You might want to tell him that.

Lip service means nothing. Clearly your “special” party isn’t pressuring him enough.

Not the person you are responding to.

Didn’t know you needed a crystal ball to see he’s still in office…

He could… he won’t. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/25/nyregion/menendez-bribery-charges.html
I’m not going to keep repeating myself.
And no, I won’t delete my comment.
Thank christ. Bye.
Lmfao. Thanks for proving the point.
You just like the (D) next to the name. No reaction at all to the person stating to the public that they will not step down at all.
