How crooked is that???

You’d think the NCAA would have rules against that. Or state laws would prohibit that. Or campaign finance regulations would prohibit that.

If it's being done to benefit Democrats, it's all okay.

US Senator pay is $174,000 per annum, amazing the amount of money they throw at a campaign to get into that office, isn’t it? 🤔

Ever see Obamas home on MV, not bad for a short term senator known for voting present.

Not really. Their personal and family wealth does NOT come from their government salaries. The Obamas and the Clintons did not become VASTLY wealthy from their government salaries. Of course I know that you are already aware of that but some may not be.

The actions of a frightened man.

He knows he became a US Senator by cheating.

His pal Democrat former Governor Brian Schweitzer bragged about it to a room full of lawyers.

He might be held accountable for his cheating.

Scary to a coward like Tester.

It’s Missoula, the Berkeley of the North Rocky Mountains. Cheating for Democrats is how it’s done there.

There’s no limit to Democrat sleaze. They’re America’s oligarchy. Anything to hold on to power.
