"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
A) There are lobbying rules?
B) Isn’t bribery constituted of both a give and a take?
there is slime and there is crime
it will be adjudicated in due course
that's why we have a legal system
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Not according to the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920s

The SCOTUS decision in the Bob McDonnell case made it extremely difficult to prosecute this kind of influence peddling. Between that and Citizens United, it's hard to imagine any kind of meaningful reform.

Sheldon Silver also convicted after re-trial
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

Interesting how the brutal theocratic regime of Iran and the western liberals use similar language.
Makes me feel more and more assured that I am standing on the right side.
Tell me what John McCain has done to be respected. He gladly took up the government's offer to go murder people in Vietnam. I respect the hell out of the ww1/2 generation but if we aren't attacked or someone isn't literally invading half the world then just having a USA patch on a uniform doesn't make you the good guy. Let's see when he came home he married a rich woman whoe fortune comes from alcohol, a drug that kills tens of thousands a year and often causes violent and criminal behavior. The double talking ahole says he recused himself from bills that pertain to alcohol because of his financial conflixtbof interest but has repeatedly voted against marijuana legalization which every study has shown leads to less alcohol consumption. What else?

still don't like Trump but this is one of my favorite things he has done. We shouldn't allow these animals to affect us. The worse the reaction from these people the better I think the move was. I don't want these people who hate us and want to force their religion on us to hide in the shadows. It's bad enough we let Christians vote to force their religion unwilling people.

Preaching to the choir man. You will never be able to negotiate with animals. All they know is strength. The Iranian leaders were laughing at the West for signing that deal. Give them money to hedge their current proxy wars while just delaying the ability to enrich uranium to put on a warhead all the while the technology improves making that window smaller and smaller. It was a sick joke the last administration played on the world. An intentional decision to destabilize and recreate a new world order.

chances the first lady is really in the hospital cause of an abortion?

A) You post on a Widespread Panic forum?chances the first lady is really in the hospital cause of an abortion?
B) Amazing that this, along with the size of Donald Trump's name on the plaque outside the American Embassy in Jerusalem and Trump Jr.'s marriage woes, is the kind of **** that keeps you Up All Night.
Lawd, son.
Why focus on these inconsequential distractions when you could dig into the really important stuff, like the fact that we're saying "Merry Christmas" again.
That is consequential actually
