Were he a Republican Sen tried this year for these charges... he'd be made the Chair of the Finance Committee.

Dems don't stand beside their criminals nearly as willingly as Republicans do.

And BTW... ya'll Trumpers who think that the rwing populist base is going to get what they want from Republicans under (literally) Trump, while the Tech Bro and other Corporations and Billionaires play on the sidelines, are in for a shock.

You were the Voters, and the Oligarchs and their Corporations are the Beneficiaries.

And it was obviously always going to be that way. SO much for the Trumpium hope.

.. "You were successful, powerful, you stood at the apex of our political system," the judge said. "Somewhere along the way, and I don't know when it was, you lost your way and working for the public good became working for your good." ...

"The Public Good"? Ah, yes. A quint old concept from back when, like, 'of by and for the People'.

Repealing the Laws surrounding Corporate Personhood that have literally made money speech and fighting making bribes legal again with DJT's new Order needs to be a top Dem priority.

Even honest people in Congress have to play by the money rules that the Oligarchs have had written for them to play by. There needs to be a re-write.
