"Trump says senator Bob Menendez should resign based on criminal charges" I keep telling people Trump is way beyond his normal lying. He is delusional. He's calling for Menendez to resign for being indicted bc he doesn't grasp that he's been indicted https://www.rawstory.com/trump-bob-resign/

Per MSNBC: "Senator Bob Menendez is expected to hold a press conference tomorrow in New Jersey."

Guess what - the leader of the GOP House has even suggested that Bob Menendez resign.. How rich is that when McCarthy hasn't called for any of his members to resign.. Such a hypocrite.

Unfortunately it was reported that Chuck Schumer made comments that were obviously supporting Menendez and wholly inappropriate. I dont know the exact words but eluded to the Senator s ‘ honorable’ career . Well no longer honorable is still not honorable career . Need to rethink this Chuck lest we think you’re working under the assumption that corruption like this is ever honorable.

What Schumer said was: "“Bob Menendez has been a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey. He has a right to due process and a fair trial," Schumer said in a statement." That is not in the same universe as what GOP said in response to charges versus Trump.

Schumer has been, in my opinion, a total bust as majority leader, unwilling or unable to wield the power of the office in support of the Democratic agenda. He has allowed himself to be played by Manchin and Sinema, and now comes out in support of Menendez, a guy who should have been tossed overboard the last time he was indicted for federal corruption. This time it's even more clear that he needs to go, and he needs to go now so that a Democrat can be named to the seat who will then run in 2024 as an incumbent.

Imagine a world with Sheldon Whitehouse or some other ass kicker in the majority leader spot. We can dream, right?

I do. This is not a marraige proposal...lol.

It almost seems as if dreaming is the only thing Dems are capable of!

In the meantime, Off with Chuck Schumers head!

Yes, has anyone asked Kirsten Gillibrand? She didn’t hesitate to lead the charge against Al Franken over a silly photo.

We need to rethink Chuck.

A well rounded collection of astute observations.

No propaganda, just facts.

Menendez is a crook, no question in my mind.

Trump & Republicons are self-deluded, selfish, liars, cheats and crooks.

Later today, I will call the office of Senator Menendez to ask him to resign. We need a Senator to represent our state without the major distraction of multiple indictments.

Are you serious?

Maybe talk to some railroad workers?

Shamefully for the Dems, their immediate capitulation to righting the wrongs of their own is shown as "WEAKNESS" to the right and the red meat base of the GOP/GQP/NAZI parties we're dealing with at the moment, IE., the subsequent resignation and dismissal of Senator Al Franken for nothing more than a comedy skit screenshot and unfounded alledged allegations of sexual misconduct.

Also, this weak political poseur [Gillibrand] has to go for her political ambitions taking precedent by refusing to speak out on Franken's behalf in a positive light!:

It's the right thing to do, yet may cost us 2024, because people are deluded into believing strength comes from domination and control, as in a STRONGMAN DICTATOR; not bipartisan cohesiveness and diplomatic resolution.

Deano, your work deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor! If only you can wrest it from the tiny hands of the orange Genghis Con! Also, while you're picking rumps pocket, grab that priceless NFT of his, showing he also won the NOBEL Peace Prize! LOLOLOL.

How strange it is that Alfred Nobel is known as the inventor of dynamite, as the CONS blow up everything in our government. I guess Jimmie "JJ" Walker was right when he loudly proclaimed,

"DY-NO-MITE"!
