#2 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been probing Menendez for more than two years to see whether he took things of value from a friend and donor in Florida.

Taking 'things of value from a friend and doner'.....doesn't seem to have been an issue with anyone in Congress previously. Must be a new corruption crackdown. [sarc off]

#4 ..Donk is optional.

That's the whole point of the Constitution which the Left ignores and everyone else seems blind to. What the Founders understood when they wrote the document from studying real history is what is phrased as "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Therefore they accepted injustices created by dividing and dissipating power among several branches of government rather to put efficiency in the consolidation of power in a single governmental entity which eventually leads to tyranny, the worst injustice of all.

#6 Well, yes. I must agree. I just don't like reading it in Iran Press TV. It's like the Mad Mullahs are attempting to justify themselves by pointing out the flaws in our system. But why should they complain when they have their little stooge in the White House?
