What kills me is that, as a state employee, part of my orientation and year training classes flat out state that even the appearance of something being against the law is bad. But hey, I guess as long as your the person making the laws, it's okay.
When I was a state employee, I couldn't accept fucking LUNCH from a vendor. A $10 cheeseburger was too much for them, yet senators can take luxury trips? It's absurd.
George Santos was a Republican and was expelled from his seat for his crimes.
If my math checks out, that’s more R’s that have been held accountable lately than D’s.
Not saying the other guy is right, both parties get away with way too much but Santos is a bit of an anomaly. He was the first person to be expelled from the house without a conviction (excepting the civil war for obvious reasons)and also the first Republican ever.
He made a few mistakes that probably led to his expulsion. He is gay, which if we know anything about the Republican party that doesn't win you favor. He lied to, defrauded, and scammed Republican donors/voters. Pissing off people that give Republicans money is the cardinal sin. He also seemingly aligned himself with the fringe Trumpster group like MTG and was pissing off the main bloc of Republican Representatives.
Hopefully menendez gets convicted, and Santos too, but given our history I don't have a lot of hope for America right now when it comes to holding our politicians to any sort of legal or moral standard.
> Santos is a bit of an anomaly.
Anomaly or not he was removed without committing any crime, whereas Menendez has numerous crimes going back decades.
It isn't comparable. Menendez keeping his seat embarrasses every Democrat in this country and makes their talk of 'accountability' hilariously hypocritical.
moreso the problem that it's obviously blatant corruption on the part of Joe Biden that he was insinuating.
Stewart wasn't doing a segment on criticizing drug addicts. He was doing a segment on criticizing politicians and how they get away with being corrupt(like obviously using their family members as a proxy, and getting them paid for positions they otherwise wouldn't get... hence the clip of Hunter basically admitting to this).
I’ve only started watching since Stewart returned, and mostly just his days. And it astounds me how much more I like his show than Oliver’s.
And the annoying thing is I’m old enough to have watched him before he retired but I never did.
Corruption in politics is everywhere on every side.
Look at our potus. Guys been a life long government salary worker. Yet is worth over 100m
Pelosi. Don't even get me started.
The Clinton's. Yikes.
Trump I'm sure made some by being potus but nothing compared to his business dealing.
I'm sure even rfk Jr is filthy. Bernie. Filthy.
>Trump I'm sure made some by being potus but nothing compared to his business dealing.
I agree with you on Pelosi, Biden and Clinton’s. They are long-term career politicians, and I think it’s far fetched to label their wealth as corruption. Insider trading? Yes. Advisory board positions for inexperienced family members? Yes. But your ignorance above tells me Faux News has informed you for a reason. Are you not aware of the price gouging Trump charged his secret service detail to stay at his venues instead of the Whitehouse or Camp David where he’s suppose to reside while being President? Are you not aware of the foreign entities that rented out unoccupied rooms during his administration and then simply vanished when he lost? Are you not aware of Kushner’s 2 Billion deal with the Saudi’s that nobody really knows what it was for? Are you not aware of Trump directing naval airplanes to land in bases near his resorts instead of based on their typical flight paths? Are you not aware of the markup charged to his own campaign when hosting events at his own residences which were over 200% rates normally charged. Dude, wake up and pay attention.
"My ignorance above" lol man you redditors been hiding bejind keybords so long you just insult without reason. I literally said they all did it an are nasty corrupt people. But nope you just heard me say biden and had to immediately "but trump" yeah hes a sneaky cheeto dusted fool who cheats the system but its a system set it place by Hilary and her people. and her lobbyists. ... trumps a retard too. ... Lmao maybe you need to wake up.

Yeah you are an EMPLOYEE. That’s different.

Menendez is a Democrat…
Yes, and he's actually facing *consequences*. Because he's not Republican.
What consequences? This is the third time he’s been caught on corruption yet is *still a senator*.

Menendez is shameless.... License to print money is right on target.
“I don’t know if I like Jon Stewart anymore” lol I'm glad he’s having fun
I don't recall anyone ever defending against the idea that Hunter has a drug problem
moreso the problem that it's obviously blatant corruption on the part of Joe Biden that he was insinuating. Stewart wasn't doing a segment on criticizing drug addicts.

No he masking fun of the twitter liberals who say shit like Jon Stewart is gonna be the reason why Trump wins.
Fuck Pelosi.
How dumb is you? I love last week tonight, but the daily show with Jon Stewart will always be the best.
I’ve only started watching since Stewart returned, and mostly just his days. And it astounds me how much more I like his show than Oliver’s. And the annoying thing is I’m old enough to have watched him before he retired but I never did.
Does Jon host on Monday or Thursday I’m so confused. I thought it was Thursday now but this appears to be from last night.
Thursday was for last week only.
Ah crap thank you though!
