That's insane. He's literally saying "early bird gets the worm" is true and we should punish the early bird. When the obvious solution is to set your damn alarm earlier.
right winger here. We love off grid solar power. We don't quite understand why the left loves the massive pollution aspect of it though. I thought you guys were anti pollution?
And if he resigns and wants to run again he's toast. If his goal is to get reelected he's much better off statistically to run as the incumbent. So should he resign at this point? absolutely not, the senate has a method on the books to kick him out if they so choose, and his criminal defense lawyers would slap him if he did. There's absolutely no upside for him to resign unless it was a part of a plea agreement in his criminal case.
allegedly, and Fine assume he's eventually convicted of that, the senate has the means and ability to remove him from his committees and kick him out entirely. What's in it for Bob if he were to resign? I can't think of anything.
IT's DC, he's only "Dead until the next scandal". No one is talking about George Santos anymore. I guess I just don't see any benefit for Menendez to resign. If he is convicted of these charges he's done no matter what. If he resigns and is found not guilty he's shot himself in the foot for no reason.
He caved, he didn't have to, and he shouldn't have. Rep George Santos is still there, all he had to do was ignore the resignation calls. Bob needs to do the same.
He's already entered a not guilty plea to the criminal charges, so why would he cave to the politicians at this point? They'd just try to say that was an admission of guilt.
As someone else pointed out, he doesn't even need to be impeached, the senate can vote to expel him with a 2/3rds vote. So why aren't they voting if they feel so upset about it? There's an established process to kick him out so if they want to set the precedent of kicking someone out based only on accusations before the trial resolves they should do it.
Oh, well that's the same votes needed though. I just looked up if a senator can be impeached, and apparently one had, so maybe the house could start one if they wanted to? but since he's a senator it wouldn't be required. If they have the votes and feel that strongly about it though they should do it then. Have a backbone, take a vote and everyone lives with the fallout from it instead of this vague threatening "requesting resignation" B.S.
That's not forcing resignation, that's leave with pay. MTG had her committee assignments taken away in 2021 too, she's still there. Ilhan Omar was removed for the foreign affairs committee, she's still there.
"forced", Franken made the choice to resign and in hindsight he absolutely shouldn't have. If congress wants to impeach Bob and the senate wants to convict him and remove him, then great. "Calls for resignation" is chicken shit.
This whole "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality that we've developed in this country is disgusting and needs to be kicked in the crotch. I hope Bob sticks to his guns.
Fantastic news! so many people are so afraid of the word "nuclear", and don't understand how large of a volume the ocean is. the lethal dose of Fentanyl is like the size of a grain of rice. Put all of the known legal and illegal volume of fentanyl into the ocean and it would be undetectable.
They can do their job while on a green energy generating treadmill. problem solved.
