Busted! Adam Schiff Funneled Millions To Defense Contractors After Taking Donations
[ZeroHedge] From Politico No Less: The earmarks Adam Schiff delivered for donors the Democratic congressman for years secured earmarks for defense companies while taking campaign donations from top corporate brass and Washington lobbyists.

#1  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.

#2  What? This the way it works.
Posted by: Mercutio || 09/26/2023 8:45 Comments || Top||

#3  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'.

#4  Why not restrict ad campaign?
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 09/26/2023 11:06 Comments || Top||

#5  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.

-Great Cultural Revolution
NYC teens are going to school STONED 'every day' as drug use rockets by 17% in the last year after marijuana is decriminalized in the city
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Does this mean there are more stoners than there used to be when it was all a big joke back in the 1970s and ‘80s?
  • Students boast of taking plastic vapes through school metal detectors

  • More than 2,000 unlicensed cannabis stores have sprung up since legalization in 2021

  • Smokeless derivatives leave teachers left helpless to tell if their students are consuming drugs at school

#1  How many are on ritalin?
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 09/26/2023 1:55 Comments || Top||

#2  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.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 09/26/2023 7:20 Comments || Top||

#3  Kinda reminds me of my high school days circa 1970.
Posted by: ed in texas || 09/26/2023 9:21 Comments || Top||

#4  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.

#5  Makes babysitting them easier and that is most of their 'teachers' job.
Posted by: magpie || 09/26/2023 11:20 Comments || Top||

#6  So the teacher smokes a fat one, puts on a Led Zeppelin CD and everybody grooves. It's up to you, New York, New York!

Government Corruption
Deeper dive into the GA 2020 Election fraud
Makes some interesting points to ponder
Posted by: NN2N1 || 09/26/2023 08:57 || Comments || Link || [19 views] Top|| File under: Tin Hat Dictators, Presidents for Life, & Kleptocrats

#1  Discovery will be very interesting.
Posted by: Super Hose || 09/26/2023 11:29 Comments || Top||

#2  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.

#3  Unexpectedly, NN2N1.

#4  Show up on Voting Day and dip your finger in the inkwell. It's not rocket surgery.

Bob Menendez says he won't resign as U.S. senator from New Jersey, sez personal savings found, not bribes

#1  Silly boy - Democrats never have to resign. Everyone in Washington DC knows that!

#2  Menendez will be pardoned the day Biden leaves office.

#3  Menendez will be replaced by AOC clone.

#5  So how did an Egyptian's fingerprints and DNA get on the bills, Bob?
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 09/26/2023 11:09 Comments || Top||

#6  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.
Posted by: Super Hose || 09/26/2023 11:27 Comments || Top||

#7  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.
