    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Took long enough.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

            That might look like evidence, but it's not evidence. There is no evidence.

              Conspiracy theorists might consider it evidence.

                  Here is his response:

                  "Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first-generation Latino American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. Senator and serve with honor and distinction,"

                  I dislike that people cannot take responsibility for themself.

                  "I was fired from my job because I am black."
                  "I was banned from YouTube/Twitter/etc because I am white and the woke people are against me."
                  "I am being charged with bribes because I am a first generation Spanish person"

                  No, no, and no to all three examples.

                  It is because you are stupid, dumb, corrupt, or did something wrong. Probably all of those.

                  For once, I would like to see someone who had a problem stand up and say, "Yeah, this happened because of me. No one else to blame."

                    This is not his first indictment. The first time there was a hung jury, iirc.

                    Also, he's been under ethics investigations for a long time. I want to say 2008, but I may be wrong on that.

                      Federal agents found more than $480,000 in cash during a search of the couple's home in June 2022, "much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe," as well as over $70,000 in a safe deposit box belonging to Nadine Menendez. They also found gold bars worth more than $100,000, according to the indictment.

                      Envelopes of cash were allegedly found in jackets with Menendez's name that were hanging in his closet. Prosecutors included photos of some of the cash and two of the gold bars they say were seized:

                      I think he is going to have trouble dodging this.

                          It's RACIST!

                                          I love how he claims his "Cuban" roots prompted him to do this.

                                          His parents emigrated during the Batista regime, and he was born here, in the US, in 1954, iirc.
