      There absolutely should be a penalty, fucking ridiculous that we have a system that defers serious legal shit to 7 individuals who aren’t even elected. 3 of which were appointed by an orange reality TV star.

      This is America. If we punished bald-faced corruption, what else might we have to punish? Insider trading? Police violence? Violations of people’s civil and human rights? It’s a slippery slope, friend!

        If he were a Democrat his own party would be falling all over themselves to denounce him; but because he’s a Republican it’s just par for the course.

    Bali is so hot, is he just warming up for the afterlife? I promise you will be in pornos there, Thomas, but not the kind you think.

    About 2 months ago I saw a news clip where he announced his resignation. There was a voice recording of him, he didn’t say the word “resign” but implied it

    Did I jump timelines?

      I believe he talked about resigning in 2000 to some republican at a conference. Caught my eye when I read that and was sad to see the date.

    The populace should be angry. Everyone should riot. This blatant corruption and should be on every news station non stop
