Menendez bribery scandal

[dkovic77]

Here you go. How many Democrats in the Senate have called for Menendez to step down?
https://www.axios.com/2023/01/13/house-republicans-call-george-santos-resignation

Small group outside of the NY delegation, and doesn’t your warped crap pot side not trust anything Romney does? (I did ask for the non-RINO list… this is what you came up with?)

As for the senate, seeing the story just broke- I’m sure there will be way more who will call for it for Melendez than your pitiful excuse for a party could muster for a clear loser in Santos.

 

[dkovic77]

Exactly, which is why some here would like to change the subject of this thread from Menendez to Santos. Lol.

Nope, just a comparison you can’t win. Law and order. Values. You got nothing as you support people for the sole purpose to own the libs.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

It’s almost cute in a way what you’re knowingly/unknowingly doing.

You were actually one of the first to on the thread to switch the topic from Menendez to Republicans. Too funny.

•
Menendez already beat a rap for similar charges, and some Democrats are allowing for due process for these similar charges. For many Democrats, I suspect it’s a matter of principle regarding due process.

Santos has been PROVEN guilty of lying and criminality,

There’s a slight difference in the status of each lawmaker’s ethical and criminal investigations.

A distinction without a difference imho.

I support the call for Menendez to resign, because previously, similar charges resulted in a hung jury, and there is a compelling amount of evidence presented with the new charges suggesting that he and his wife were in fact engaged in criminal activity.

Al Franken was forced to resign for less; and I supported Al Franken’s resignation as well,

We shall see what happens.

*nods*

So the no Democratic Senators? Lol. You do realize it was Democrats who made him Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, one of the most powerful positions in the Senate, despite his shady history, right?

BabyBoobs knows damn well that Senate committee chairs are heavily based on seniority.

Or maybe BabyBoobs doesn’t???

Shady eh? Venmo from Florida? Wrestler Jim for OH? Grab em by the… as “President”

Plus you back a Nazi in Florida Ron- who is sinking like a lead balloon because turns out when he can’t scream woke for everything he has nothing. The Jacksonville shooting sank him.

So please talk to us all about shady. We will wait.

Btw Ican’t, just had your “trouble” spot posting- a quick copy and paste works wonders. Loser.

'This is horrifying': Top New Jersey Democrats call on Bob Menendez to resign after his second indictment​

The w(R)ongs won't understand that.

The topic of this thread is the indictment of Senator Menendez but I understand why so many Dems on this thread are trying to change the subject. Schumer should never have put him in such a powerful position in the first place. Maybe at some point the majority leader and other Democratic Senate colleagues will call for his resignation.

Oh I am sure they will, give them the weekend and a little more discovery.


Or we can use the line “innocent until proven guilty” which seems to be all the wrong doers have in your party. And then they delay the court cases hoping they can gain power again and then weird the justice system to stop their prosecution.

Melendez is dead to rights, and the story just broke. I’m sure a high level senate dem goes on a Sunday show (or three) and throws him under the bus.

No high level pub (unless you count your RINO Romney) has done the same for “Santos”.

So stop with the deflection and own that your party is a joke. Or is just the MAGA folks that make it that way? Will that be the pivot after 24 and another big loss?

 

[Dribble]

Chuck needs to remove him from all committees immediately the Senate should start the censure process. He does not represent our Party. We don't need his vote.

Nope. Wrong. My first post here highlighted your claim that Dems were trying to skirt a primary. The thing that you are trying to avoid saying is simply menendez AND Santos should do the honorable thing and resign. Full stop. That’s it, but you deny yourself some credibility instead by adding bs speculation on democratic primaries.
BSG is right - you’re false equivocating. I’ll look but I’ve seen no one here defending menendez.

You are the one deflecting. I said it makes perfect sense for Democrats to call for his resignation because the last thing they need is to have a primary clouded with scandal plagued Menendez. Then you and pals started talking about GOP, Santos, Bobert, DeSantis, etc.

We openly advocate for free and fair primaries.

And you have a scandal plagued front runner for the pub ticket. Melendez has one charge against him…

I’ll wait for the next commercial so you can give more of your argument.

Is it MyPillow? Or depends?

 

[Bn2f]

Also, as noted, if the governor of jersey can appoint a replacement, unlike Kentucky , then when will a special primary take place? May? June? I'm guessing the New Jersey primary won't be taking center stage then.

Yes, the GOP has a scandal plagued front runner for its presidential ticket which I think it’s a terrible idea. Dems would be wise to join Governor Murphy’s call for Menendez to resign. Murphy could appoint someone who would be a strong candidate in 2024 and sideline Menendez. Shit, even John Fetterman has figured that out and became the first Senate Dem to call for Menendez’s resignation.

As a Republican, I hope Menendez hangs in there and runs for reelection. The seat would still favor Dems but they’d have to work harder and spend more to defend it.

yes we all know Republicans don't care about law and order....Menendez should resign, and if he doesn't, he should be booted from the party.

So look people are reacting and in a days time… your leaders? Mums the word on the losers in your party.

That’s the difference in the groups. Your party has nothing.

See who else calls him out tomorrow on the Sunday shows. Will be plenty.

This statement alone says he's unfit and needs to be gone:

The senator said Friday that prosecutors "misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office."


He continued, "On top of that, not content with making false claims against me, they have attacked my wife for the longstanding friendships she had before she and I even met."

"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. Even worse, they see me as an obstacle in the way of their broader political goals."
