Did Eric use the Congressional slush fund to pay off any staffers over the years? It certainly wouldn't surprise me if we the taxpayers have been paying for his victims to keep quiet.

Did he use campaign contributions to pay off anyone? That might be an angle if California doesn't move on any of the rape stuff.

Is Gallegos going to get dragged into this?


Wouldn't bother me. He and Kelly are our senators which is basically like being unrepresented in the senate

And it's been an open secret this whole time. The democrats pulled the plug to get a Democrat in as governor. This is in no way about morals or crimes or protecting women.


NO ONE is alleging the democrats do ANYTHING for the right reason. However, don't tilt too far to the other end: simply because there may be a machine behind all this doesn't mean it (and a lot more) isn't true.

Huh? I am positive it's true and worse. I am also positive no one on the left cares about any of those things. This is 100% political, not about doing the right thing.

Tara Reade is still on a political island and Joe Biden is soiling himself as a free man.


We're in agreement, then. My point was that the statement I referenced could easily be manipulated by the left into creatively asserting this was all theater (i.e. mostly made up) to get Swallowell out. In other words, the "rumors" were used as an excuse and little more.

Total BS.

Of course, Hobbs gets to name a replacement if he goes down. Figures.

Maybe he'll stick to protesting with coffee pourers at Starbucks again and this drags out until Biggs wins.

Wanna bet Hobbs would pull a Blagoevich and sell it to the highest bidder? Or just appoint a cartel stooge?

Yes, legally speaking. Unless AZ has some provision in their state constitution limiting that. But Hobbs would probably want the money.

If anyone else lives in Arizona and has an opinion to share with Gallego his office number is (202) 224-4521
Press option 3 and you can actually speak to one of his staff.

Hobbs appointing herself Senator would be the most amazing thing ever.

Throw the primary winner aside because he can't walk and talk at the same time and "appoint" a new presidential candidate who never got a single vote? Check.

Kick out a dude from a primary because there are too many from the same party and you can't win the election? Check.

Name yourself Senator instead of running for the office? Check.

What's next on the bingo card?

Gallego's term will end after 2028 elections since he was elected in 2022. Another reason I don't see Hobbs appointing herself. If she doesn't think she can get reelected as Governor statewide, Senator would be even harder, IMO. (Runbeck's election fraud notwithstanding.)

Quote:

Stephen Miller could HARDLY keep it together when Jesse Watters asked if President Trump had been following the Swalwell saga.

MILLER: "Why, has he had a bad week Jesse? I haven't been watching."

[Bursts out into laughter]

Then Miller dropped what he said is the single most important part of the entire story and it leaves the Democrat Party completely exposed.

MILLER: "The most important part about this story, and look, Swalwell is a scumbag, he is a terrible person, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, the most dishonest of the most dishonest…"

"But the real story here is how the Democrat party controls its members through blackmail."

"It's got a blackmail file on all of its politicians and it uses them to leverage and control them until it's time to release it."

"That is how sick and twisted the Democrat party is."

"That's the next thread we have to pull out here."

Actually nobody has clean hands here. Everybody knew what Matt Gaetz was up to, now the blind eye turned towards Swalwell, and Tony Gonzalez finally gone too. Congress knowing what their colleagues are up to and doing nothing about it is a bipartisan problem.

lol, no, they didn't do it out of a sense of responsibility. They've known about his antics for years. They did it to get him out of the California governor's race because there was a chance two Republicans would come out of the primary.

I can agree with that. It's just tiresome for most Democrats to ignore any and everything detrimental to their side unless it makes them look better. Like clockwork for most of them.

I'm referring to leftist posters on here who never acknowledge their side's transgressions. It's always projection onto the rest of us what their team is actually already doing.

Yes I understand that but I'm saying that's a 2 way street on F16. Don't abuse power should be a bipartisan issue and instead it's team politics. That dynamic benefits no one except for people who are in power.

Yep. Same reason they won't get rid of the insider trading in Congress. They are all eating from the same trough.

I think we should all agree on that.

Wish we could all also agree that the only solution is limiting their power, but for some reason half this country races to give them more power somehow thinking they are capable of solving our problems and being our daddies.

Crazy.

I'm all for getting rid of corruption regardless of party, but when it comes to the media, when they target a republican, my default position is that they are mischaracterizing, misinforming, or outright lying. When they target a democrat, the truth is probably ten times worse than whatever they are saying. That's just what they do.

So yeah, I'll give the republican the benefit of the doubt for at least a little while. I'm not going to defend a republican because he's team red, i just want to be sure I'm not being lied to.

I would like to see the congressional victim payoff fund since it is coming from my pocket. Oh they can use our tax money to fund that but no plebe, no accountability to you as to how that money in the millions is spent. No doubt Swallwell is part of that but who else? Like the Epstein perpetrators, we'll never know. Infuriating.

Glen Greenwald has been saying for a long time that DC is run by blackmail. Much of the abhorrent behavior is kept quiet so the offender can be blackmailed later.

This could get interesting. Wonder what blackmail materials Weiner and Huma had:

There has long been a belief that the first weeks of newly elected congress critters involves parties and meetings that are all about getting the newbies in compromised spots. Drugs, drunkenness, sex, and being videoed with the wrong people---all tools that are used to keep you in line, but also to keep you owned.

My heuristic is simple: Take claims seriously and take due process equally seriously. That requires patience beyond the 24 hour media cycle that America is addicted to but it is the standard that I follow. The media also includes opposition media like fox news and breitbart and they aren't in on the conspiracy to cover up democrats crimes.

This type of news is 10 to 1 in favor of dems and everyone knows it. Some of the liberal media will barely mention stories like this if at all.
