Didn't his wife get the new Mercedes because she hit and killed someone with her previous car? Is she going to be tried for that as well? IIRC, it was a hit and run too.
You need 2/3 of the Senate to kick him out. The Democrats held a vote to remove him, no Republican joined the Democrats in that vote. 51-49 isn't 2/3 of the Senate :(
Bob Sr's son is also in the Congress. Bob Jr represents NJ-08. AFAIK, Bob Jr isn't involved with his father's shady dealings (or any shady dealings of his own). still, Bob Jr has a real opponent in the upcoming Democratic primary election -- the mayor of Hoboken, Ravi Bhalla. i know Bhalla, he's a good guy and he has been a good mayor.
I’ve never had a watch that cost even three figures left of the decimal, though that may have less to do with making healthier life choices than being a New Jersey senator than the fact that I don’t really like to wear a watch.
I understand that the police can just seize large sums of money that you don't have a good explanation for. The expectation is always that they are either the proceeds of criminal activities or going to be used for it.
O/T but law-related: Any of the Wonk barrister squad listening to Fischer v. US @SCOTUS? It’s kinda scary, as righty judges are equating J6 ‘obstruction of official proceedings’ with all kinds of protestors, even with Bowman’s setting off fire alarm to obstruct a vote, implying that all such acts are essentially equivalent- meriting up to 20 yr. sentence. Any thoughts?
Back on topic - Menendez:Senate as Santos:House; IOW, a loathsome shitstain.
Humanitarian officials have warned that a system of coordination with Israel’s military, designed to protect their aid deliveries and lifesaving ambulance maneuvers, is broken. Israeli strikes on a World Central Kitchen convoy that killed seven aid workers in Gaza on April 1 and stirred global outrage came after failed deconfliction efforts.
Just like how Mike Huckabee was going to put Chuck Norris into his cabinet. It shows you how serious the GOP really is about governing when they want to give jobs to people who make their living in the land of make believe.
From the looks of him “Dog” is about 85 and has lived a hard life. I have my doubts about this choice. Jesse needs to head back to old re-runs and see if he can find a better candidate.
C'mon! The guy needed the gold because he was building his own cable tv and stereo connectors, and wanted the best connectivity. As for the money, he heard paper is a lower environmental impact insulator for the walls and attic than fiberglass or asbestos! Will no one speak out for the home hobbyist and lover of the environment?
Nice try Bob! The whole "my family never trusted banks because yada yada" can be a real thing, even today for many reasons. However, it doesn't explain the 480k in 10k packs of brand new 100s still in the bank wrapper. That's gangster cash Bob! Add in the gold bars they traced back to his buddy and Bob's in a helluva mess here. I see a conviction in Bob's future. Bob got greedy and sloppy. That will lead him right to the pokey.
Yeah, you really only need one example when you have a very poor understanding of stuff like math and science. Same people claim that there are millions of "illegals" coming across the border, and their proof of how dangerous they are is that every few months one of them commits a violent crime. We have multiple mass shootings in this country every week, but that's just a part of life as long as they're the right color.
I'll have to give this some thought, though, since one would involve working with George Fucking Will (that is his actual middle name, by the way), while the other would involve contemplating the neckbeard of Ross "Chunky Reese Witherspoon" Douthat.
Ta, Gary. Andy Kim will be NJ's next Senator.

Yeah.....it's just so darned hard to get those 'pedestrian' smudges off the paint job.......you have GOT TO replace that vehicle......
why the hell havent the democrats kicked him out? I dont care about the vote margins. We look as bad as the R's

Waiting for the election.

ELECT ANDY KIM

I have a Mickey Mouse watch I got for my fifth birthday in 1959.
Still works, but you gotta wind it.
Has Menendez asked for time off trial to go to a graduation?
Alicia would be embarrassed 😳
Yea, that one
She's his daughter
Which makes me realize how weird it is for Trump to have a kid of high school age.
Boom
I understand that the police can just seize large sums of money that you don't have a good explanation for. The expectation is always that they are either the proceeds of criminal activities or going to be used for it.
Even if you do have a good explanation for it. Don’t you know we’re all presumptive criminals?

As long as they start with the J6 folks ... can't wait to hear the right-wing outrage that "their" justices would turn on them like that.

after failed deconfliction efforts. == Hamas continues to refuse a ceasefire
Release the hostages. It ends the war. And don't use AI targeting in war. It is fucking terrible.
There are 14 women who are hostages who were probably raped today. Even according to the UN.
Feign that you care.

Unbelievably fucking stupid and totally on brand.

Hi, have you ever considered a job defending an indicted former president?
awesome dude
Dumbass didn’t even take the bands off and burn them like a decent criminal. Don’t these people ever go to the movies?
All I Ever Really Needed to Know About Money Laundering I Learned from "Breaking Bad"
Ha! I recall that the final step in the process involves burying all of the money in big barrels in the desert.
Nice try Bob! The whole "my family never trusted banks because yada yada" can be a real thing, even today for many reasons.

I prefer monogrammed money bands.
I prefer Ska.
Why not both?
da blues, man
Well, Menendez is a D and Trump is not, so, therefore, Both Sides.
Yeah, you really only need one example when you have a very poor understanding of stuff like math and science. Same people claim that there are millions of "illegals" coming across the border, and their proof of how dangerous they are is that every few months one of them commits a violent crime.

“Menendez is a false flag to make the Trump prosecution look legit.” If no one has said that yet, they will.
You are now qualified to run the politics desk at both Pravda on the Hudson and Pravda on the Potomac.
I'll have to give this some thought, though, since one would involve working with George Fucking Will (that is his actual middle name, by the way), while the other would involve contemplating the neckbeard of Ross "Chunky Reese Witherspoon" Douthat.
Frankly, I don't find either prospect appealing.
I call him "Ross Douchehat." Most of the letters are already there.
Or Ross "Don't" Douthat. Or Ross "I wouldn't" Douthat.
Will would be better off if he stuck to baseball. Of course, same for Mike Barnicle.
Great! When can I start earning the big bux for cranking out endless soberly-realistic-sounding pabalum? If David Brooks can do it, anyone can!
