    'In recent months, I've noticed that many of the Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media have toned down the J6 "insurrection" talk and are using the word "riots" a lot more. The majority of the legal haranguing of former President Trump that they're doing requires that they keep the insurrection lie alive, however, so look for it to make a comeback.'

    It was mainly a protest, with some rioting. They came up with "insurrection" to try to rig the 2024 election.

    'In reality, what happened at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fit the Dems' pet "mostly peaceful protest" description far more than their actual riots.'

    The vast majority did exactly that.

    'Because Biden can't run on his disastrous record, the Democrats will have to lean more heavily than ever before on their habit of demonizing Republicans. They'll insist that it's only BECAUSE TRUMP that they're being so harsh, but demonization has been a part of their political arsenal for as long as I've been old enough to vote. George W. Bush was Hitler before Trump was Hitler. Mitt Romney gave a woman cancer. This year, it's the "dictator" stuff.'

    Yes. Bribed Joe "The Unifier" claimed that Mitt Romney wanted to put Black Folks back in chains.

    'It isn't just politicians they smear; it's anyone who might vote Republican. I don't know if the Democrats keep records of such things, but I would like to know how many election-year grannies I've pushed off of cliffs at this point. This year's shiny object to distract voters from the Biden disaster will be WHITE SUPREMACY.'

    Well, he sure as hell can't run on his record, so it's going to be a bitterly divisive campaign of lies smears hate-mongering and bitter division.

    Menendez to Whitmer, Others: If He Goes Down, They Do

    I want to say right now that Menendez did NOT hang himself.

    'LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Twice-indicted U.S. Democratic Senator Robert (Bob) Menendez (D-New Jersey) took to the Senate chamber floor on Tuesday to defend himself against corruption charges. Along the way, he warned his fellow colleagues that if he goes down, they all go down.'

    Because there is actual and ample evidence against Menendez. Whereas the evidence against President Biden appears or has been proven to be made up bullshit designed to affect his reelection campaign and even the score for Trump's TWO impeachments.

    Latest news tonight is Menendez isn't running in November.

    'New obstruction of justice crimes levied against Sen. Bob Menendez in rewritten indictment'

    NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife face new charges that they obstructed justice while they were being investigated over allegations that they accepted bribes of gold bars, cash and a luxury car from three favor-seeking New Jersey businessmen.

    The obstruction charges were added Tuesday to a rewritten indictment returned against the Democrat and his wife, Nadine.

    In a statement, the senator called the additions “a flagrant abuse of power.”

    “I am innocent and will prove it no matter how many charges they continue to pile on,” Menendez said.'

    'US Senator Robert Menendez and his wife don’t want jurors at their upcoming corruption trial to learn about the power couple’s luxurious lifestyle that included cigars, handbags and jewelry.

    Lawyers for Menendez and his wife, Nadine, objected Friday to prosecutors seeking to offer such evidence in New York federal court, where they’re accused of accepting bribes of cash, gold bars and a car in exchange for political favors for three businessmen.

    Jurors shouldn’t be told about their “preference for expensive luxury items” including his preference for Bombay Sapphire Gin, cigars and upscales meals on a limited salary, and her handbags and jewelry while desiring a Mercedes-Benz, according to separate filings by the couple’s lawyers.

    “There is no yacht or vacation home that was draining Senator Menendez’s finances,” lawyers for the New Jersey Democrat wrote in the filing. “He lived well within his means as a federal government employee.” Menendez’s lawyers ridiculed prosecutors for trying to brand run of the mill purchases as luxury items.

    Too funny and embarrassing.
    Bombay Sapphire Gin is considered an expensive luxury by the reporter.

    Some Nip/Tuk Nadine so you look pretty for the camera? lol

    A six week wait for surgery for a serious medical condition sounds real fishy considering you've got the best healthcare and doctors available.

    Has Trump heard the excuse?
    April 15th...5 days countdown. lol

    NEW YORK (AP) — The wife of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is seeking a delay to her criminal trial next month, saying a newly diagnosed and serious medical condition requires a “surgical procedure” within six weeks.

    The request was made by her lawyers in a letter to a Manhattan federal court judge who will preside over a May 6 trial of the Democrat, his wife and two New Jersey businessmen.


    In their letter, lawyers for Nadine Menendez said their client is not able to assist them in preparing for trial in the next four weeks because of her “medical circumstances.”

    If the judge lets all the attorneys withdraw that in itself should set the trial back for months the Nadine doesn't need her (wink-wink) serious surgery. lol

    'Nadine Menendez’s attorneys want to withdraw from case'

    snip:

    'The attorneys for Sen. Bob Menendez’s wife are seeking to withdraw as her legal team for the couple’s upcoming bribery trial, which is set to begin in four weeks.

    Nadine Menendez’s four attorneys filed a motion Friday to withdraw from the case, three weeks after prosecutors told the judge overseeing the case that they may call one of her lawyers, David Schertler, as a witness and enter into evidence materials with which he was involved.

    Authorities allege the senator and Nadine Menendez caused their lawyers to provide false information to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York during meetings last year, and that the couple’s attorneys have knowledge of payments the couple made toward a new Mercedes Benz and a mortgage that prosecutors allege were repayments of bribes the couple received.'

    Nothing. It isn't about illegality. It is about corruption. While Biden's corruption is obvious, it may not be illegal. He is incompetent and corrupt. He is in the right job to lead an incompetent and corrupt federal administration. Voters have created this and only voters can fix it. But voters are also incompetent and corrupt.

    'A federal judge in New York decided Thursday that Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez will face bribery charges in two separate trials; Nadine Menendez's trial will be delayed while she undergoes surgery to treat a medical condition.

    Sen. Menendez's trial will begin May 6, as originally scheduled, and Nadine Menendez's trial is tentatively set to begin July 8.

    "This trial is going forward without Mrs. Menendez," said District Judge Sidney Stein, according to the Associated Press. "The government is going to have to try this case two times."

    Bob Menendez Bribe Trial Moved to May 13 as Lawyer Stays on Case

    'The bribery trial of US Senator Bob Menendez and two businessmen was pushed back a week to May 13 by a judge who cited negotiations on a statement that averts the need to disqualify a co-defendant’s lawyer.

    US District Judge Sidney Stein in New York moved the date at a hearing Friday, where the New Jersey Democrat is accused of accepting bribes of cash, gold bars and a car to help three businessmen and the Egyptian government. Menendez, 70, is also charged with acting as a foreign agent of Egypt.

    Menendez is prepared to blame his wife at trial for withholding information from him about gifts they allegedly accepted from businessmen seeking favors, court records show. Stein moved the trial after prosecutors and defense lawyers agreed on a factual statement, known as a stipulation, that allows an attorney for co-defendant Wael Hana to remain on the case. The judge said Wednesday that unless they could reach an agreement, prosecutors may have called the lawyer, Lawrence Lustberg, as a witness, forcing Hana to get a new lawyer.'
