It’s about damn time.
This right here is some good news.
One would be hard pressed to find a non-criminal anywhere at any level in Albany. Interns included.
I do not miss NY. The APA is run from the Sierra Club and the Blue line gets no say in anything.
So who is going to run NY State now?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
One would be hard pressed to find a politician anywhere actually in office who has not made compromises with honor and ethics. The big money boys from both parties pretty much control who can afford a winning campaign. We have to get big money and corporations out of politics with an amendment clarifying people as “not corporations” and speech as “not money.” Otherwise the madness will just keep getting worse.
And that’s why we are in the mess we are. Some lib realized that compromise worked to get their way with gutless right wingers as long as the right winger compromises and a bunch of once principled people fail daily trying to out-liberal liberals..
It can’t be both ways. When you compromise with evil, you accept evil. And you GET evil. No one is perfect and free from sin. I get it. But when compromise becomes the default position on EVERY BIG ISSUE WE HOLD DEAR, we NEVER get a good result.
Lets face it. We are either correct about our worldview based on facts, truth and history or we aren’t. There is little point believing in anything if we don’t fight for it and stick to those beliefs is there? Seriously. What WON’T we compromise? What HAVEN’T we compromised on? And what was the result?
Time to stop.
Libs are wrong. There is no compromise with wrong. We cry our eyes out daily for a leader and then compromise JUST LIKE like Bhoner. Then we bitch about him.
Yoda logic: Believe or believe not. There is no ‘compromise.’
I always know it’s a democrat. They don’t put (R) with his ruined name
So I know he’s not a republican
no kidding. its like the government takes a see no evil attitude with their on.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy... A fitting reward for his years of actively malicious mendacity..
I’m sure deserves it. But, it’s interesting that now after 20 years the Feds go after a Jew. Sharpton is so so dirty yet goes untouched.
The tip of the ice berg It will be interesting to see how far this spreads Silver has been a power in Albany for years
if he is arrested it will be after a long time coming- and this ain’t happening due to the rule of law or justice, it will happen to settle scores for the corrupt. NY’s state government is a sh!thole, as is NYC’s government.

POST OF THE DAY.
Yes Sir! :D
“Mr. Silver promised to ‘uphold the tradition of this body and honor at all times the legacy that we have inherited.’ “
I take Mr. Silver at his word, that he will uphold the tradition of New York State Government: perpetually ranking in the Top 10 of corrupt state governments, along with Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey
