D.C.'s talking impeachment but the real drama is in Jersey with Sen. Menendez

My liberal friends have worked themselves into a fever anticipating the impeachment of President Trump.

They think they've got a second Watergate going.

Have your fun while you can. But the next trial likely to affect the political lineup won't be happening before the U.S. Senate in Washington.

It will be happening before the U.S. District Court in Newark.

In the dock will be U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, faced with 22 counts of ethics charges alleging he took illegal gifts from a Florida Miami eye doctor who was recently convicted on 67 counts of Medicare fraud.

Anyone talking impeachment at this point, is merely outing themselves as being completely out of touch with reality.

Hard to imagine the GOP winning this seat regardless of whether Christie picks someone who would eventually be the GOP candidate.

We are talking Democrats here (John McStain notwithstanding)

They have been out for decades.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes,... they have. 1972 is the year I thought the party jumped the shark.

McGovern was an absolute wing-nut.

Carter was as bad or worse.

Bill Clinton made him look tame by comparisons.

Then Obama knew no limits. Clear acts of treason, no problem.

Even Clinton allowed top secret military grade tech to be given out freely.

It’s difficult to imagine people going beyond Obama, but then I thought Clinton was bad.

Tom Kean Jr. could win this seat, or Jon Bramnick.

Well shut my mouth! Another gun grabber under investigation for ethics violations. And this is the same sleazy POS who is suspected of being involved in a child sex trafficing ring in the Dominican Rep. There's definitely a pattern when it comes to "sensible" gun control.

What part of "Democrat" don't you understand?

[DoughtyOne]

Oh, I understand it all very well.

Hence the comment.

[DaxtonBrown]

Watch also for Harry Reid to be in court too for multiple bribes. There is a link to Menendes.

[Lopeover]

Rule of law needs to be re-established in the Democrat Party!

[Nateman]

He’s been fighting these charges since 2015. It’s been to the Supreme court even. He has a trial in Sept. He’s up for reelection in 2018 so this seat may very well go Republican.

[Theodore R.]

Hard to imagine a Garden State jury convicting Menendez; people there like their corrupt liberals.

That’s true. They’re demented.

[dp0622]

This is it some of you have been waiting for.

Wrongly, I thought hoping for. I apologize.

You just saw with clearer eyes than I did.

They push our man out some how, I’m ALL in.

Cause there’d be nothing left but a banana republic with a successful coup.

I’ve tweeted to Trump many times DO NOT STEP DOWN NO MATTER WHAT!

And I’ve sent dem leaders notice that this isnt Nixon. We love this guy.

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed

[DoughtyOne]

He has my full support.

He is the last chance this nation has.

The real question for me is, can he turn things around strongly enough to prevent them from turning it right back when he’s gone?

I think he can given time.

The guy wasn’t kidding. He’s in it to win it for us, and he seems to have a great grasp of what needs to be done.

I never thought I’d see a guy like him in there, and I’d be a real fool not to support him.

I’ve always meant what I said, when I supported Conservative ideals. This guy is doing it, as much as he can. I’ll never object to that. NEVER!

[skimbell]

That's what I thought. Looks like Menendez just can't keep his hands in his own pockets

They dam near got him for that kiddy sex tour stuff a few years ago with this same guy that's involved this time.

You'd think that these clowns would catch on after a close one like they had.

[dp0622]

You’re a good man. You’ve been consistent with Trump.

I was not always and my emotions still get the best of me sometimes when I panic.

But I LOVE the guy cause I think he CARES about my nephews and nieces and the future they will have.

We have to FIGHT just as hard as we did during the elections, unfortunately

Enemies are everywhere.
