A study in contrast
A study in contrast: the Democrat response to Sen. Menendez being indicted on corruption charges, vs. the Texas GOP clearing Texas Attorney General Paxton of corruption chargers in his impeachment.
So far, the Democratic Governor of NJ, several Representatives and some Senators have called for Menendez to step down. There’s even an announced primary challenger.
Innocence until proven guilty is always the presumption. But we ensure follow through to drive corruption out of government when there’s such clear evidence and it can be proven.
Shut Down
GOP Playbook: Can’t get the votes for the legislation you want? Shut down the government! 🙄
Stupid way to run a government.
Dress Code
Which Senators can you spot?
Bread
It’s clear that Trump has never bought bread before.
Ken Paxton Reeks of Corruption
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton reeks of corruption. So much so that he’s facing lawsuits and indictments, and was charged with 16 articles of impeachment from the Texas House based on whistleblower accounts of his abuse of office and trading favors for political donations. He’s using taxpayer funds to pay a $3.3 million settlement for retaliation against whistleblowers. Yet still, the Texas Senate GOP held their nose and acquitted him.
Just another example of putting party over the people.
The Game
Republicans often don’t get that most Democrats would jettison their own candidates if there’s proof of real corruption.
Hollywood Crisis PR
The Hollywood Writers Strike has been going for over four months and Actors have been on strike for almost two months. The Hollywood Studios have hired Crisis PR agents. And today Warner Bros reports the strikes will have a $300-500 million hit to their 2023 earnings.
Sounds like time for a rude awakening.

“Perfect Phone Call”
“It was a perfect phone call.” What even is that?? Trump tried to use that defense about his call to extort Ukraine and now is using it about his call asking to overturn the Georgia election.
Seriously? What does that even mean?? 🙄
