I hate it when you have a person who held office and even though they are no longer serving they still call them “Governor” or “Congressman.”
That’s BS. When you go you leave that Title behind.
I don’t know where, but it’s in the Constitution that Titles are not to be given to citizens.
start with Charlie Rangel....
he walked out of korea with a bronze star and five bucks in his pocket. Made no money for a law firm then...shazam - beats Adam Clayton Powell and inherits all Powell’s contacts and money men.
Oh, I’m not skeptical, I know exactly how feinstein and her ilk on both sides build their wealth off of their positions of trust.
“Then there are about one hundred other changes that should be made including drastically limiting the amount of money they (and their PACs) can spend on election campaigns.”
Do that, and the media decides who gets elected, because they have no limits on how much they can do to favor one candidate over the other.
“They make way more through insider information on the stock markets.”
And yet, we’d go to jail for this. But they’re special, worthy and entitled. Pewlosi is worth over $100 million...and this woman is as dumb as a load of watermelons. How’d she do this? Her intelligence? Right.
That little gem was worth the price of admission. Quite a good (and simple) explanation of how things work politically.
Sweetheart land deals are really popular as well. It's a really easy way to launder bribes.
