How about a simple Law that makes politicians answer to US the Voters and not Global & National deep pockets?
If a politician takes money from a commercial or SIG donor, then due to conflict of interest, they cannot VOTE on anything related to that donors activates or business.
Nor can can they or their family have, or accept any position related to that donor while in, or X# years after leaving political office.
PLUS, only donations from congressional district - registered voters / Senate - state registered voters.
Donation max of $1,000 per person per each of the 2 election cycles for election.

Unfortunately, ActBlue and others have been harvesting names and using that info for sending multiple small donations (sometimes 100 or more donations made under one name for often less than a $1 each time) for several years. When queried, the named person might have made only one or two donations over the same time period. This type of fraud should be called 'Donation Laundering'.

The term “busted” presumes there will be consequences. I don’t the current system will do anything to him. I do believe that Adam will be out of politics at or by the 2024 election. I think the pendulum on all this corruption has changed direction.

Have to admit, if all you do is sit there all day being asked if you don't think maybe you are actually the opposite sex of what you are, being stoned all day has its attractions.

I don’t think that stoned students are new. I suspect that the amount of time that the average kid is stoned within a 24 hour period is much higher. That is one of the reasons why I am against reinstating the draft. Add guns and trauma to a stoned young population would not work well.

Makes babysitting them easier and that is most of their 'teachers' job.

I kept the copies of GA Fulton co, Absentee voters and their addresses.
We sorted on addresses and were surprise how many people voted from certain addresses or addresses that Google Street shows as abandoned buildings or vacant lots.
Bob Menendez says he won’t resign as U.S. senator from New Jersey. He’s in his third term in the Senate and he’s been indicted twice. Yes, he has every right to defend himself in court, but elected officials should be held to a higher standard of conduct.pic.twitter.com/hdRzGFhyNN

I believe that he will be found guilty and rat out some fellow senators by name. He may or may not be killed. I don’t see him being pardoned.

Bit partial to the theory that he has loose ends with Biden fingerprints, and it is a block on a check move, and taking the piece also loses the taking piece.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
