Lol, GOPers dislike the pick more than dems.

At least to some extent, yes. You may be trying to take it to the extreme but if you haven't seen the playbook, Project 2025 then you haven't been paying attention to where they plan to take this.

Just watch the Republican convention to see how far they have inserted religion into it. It's much more than in the past and even they are saying that trump will help lead us into a Christian nation. They're actually telling us what is going to happen. For someone who seems to look at signs as to the example of where things are and where they are headed I don't believe you've taken a hard look into this.

Who is "they"?

I mean, you were responding directly to a post that said this:

J.D. Vance is going to help Trump end democracy and replace it with an autocratic white patriarchal Christian dominated nation?


Trump and Vance are going to do this and Project 2025 is the evidence??

It has been pointed out many times all of the people closely associated with trump who are involved in project 2025 which is led by the Heritage foundation. He obviously supports their goals.....



Hopefully this will help clear things up for you.

this has already been debunked. stop posting it.

By whom?

Trump's actual post on Truth has been debunked??

Please explain.

Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty on all counts in federal corruption trial

Menendez was charged with 16 federal counts.

Sen. Bob Menendez was found guilty on all counts Tuesday in his federal corruption trial.

Federal prosecutors in New York alleged the New Jersey Democrat accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, mortgage payments and more in exchange for the senator's political clout. Three New Jersey businessmen who were also charged, along with the governments of Egypt and Qatar, were the alleged recipients.

The jury deliberated for about 13 hours over three days.

Menendez pleaded not guilty to 16 federal charges including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent and obstruction.

Prosecutors claimed Menendez, 70, "put his power up for sale" in exchange for the gold, envelopes stuffed with money, checks to his wife for a no-show job and a Mercedes-Benz convertible. The FBI found gold bars and more than $400,000 in cash stashed in places including jackets and shoes throughout his home, prosecutors said.

"It wasn't enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington," federal prosecutor Paul Monteleoni said during his closing argument on July 8. "Robert Menendez wanted all that power and he also wanted to use it to pile up riches for himself and his wife."

The defense, meanwhile, maintained that all of the actions in the indictment fell within the scope of Menendez's position and that prosecutors failed to prove he took any bribes.

During his closing argument, defense attorney Adam Fee mocked the government's case as "cherry-picked nonsense" and accused prosecutors of "fudging" the facts.

"The only honest verdict I submit here is to acquit him on each count," Fee told the jury on July 9. "His actions were lawful, normal and good for the country."

Menendez declined to testify in his own defense. While leaving court after the defense rested its case on July 3, he told reporters, "From my perspective, the government has failed to prove every aspect of its case."

He said he expected his lawyers to present a "convincing and powerful summation" and that the jury would find him not guilty.

Prosecutors told the jury that Menendez promised to use his power to help Egypt. According to the indictment, the arrangement was brokered by New Jersey businessman Wael Hana, a friend of Menendez's wife, Nadine, who prosecutors said received the senator's help preserving a halal meat monopoly.

Menendez was also accused of receiving a $60,000 Mercedes-Benz convertible in exchange for help disrupting a case by the New Jersey Attorney General's Office.

Prosecutors said that in the spring of 2019, another New Jersey businessman, Jose Uribe, handed Nadine $15,000 in cash that she used as a down payment for the car. She texted Menendez, "Congratulations. We are the proud owners of a 2019 Mercedes," according to prosecutors. Uribe kept making the monthly payments, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors claimed the senator promised a third businessman, Fred Daibes, that he would interfere with Daibes' federal prosecution and help the government of Qatar by supporting a Senate resolution praising the country.

Daibes' fingerprints were found on the envelopes of cash found at Menendez's home and serial numbers on the gold bars traced them to Daibes and Hana, according to prosecutors.

During the two months of testimony, jurors heard his sister explain why Menendez was caught with wads of cash stuffed into his embroidered congressional jacket: "It's a Cuban thing," Caridad Gonzalez said.

The defense also told jurors that Menendez and his wife, who has also been charged in the case, led separate lives and she had financial concerns that she kept from her husband.

Daibes and Hana pleaded not guilty to their charges. Uribe pleaded guilty and testified against the three defendants during the trial.

Menendez's wife has pleaded not guilty to her charges and will be tried separately in August due to a medical condition. She is battling Grade 3 breast cancer, the senator revealed in mid-May at the beginning of the trial.

Menendez, who has served as senator for New Jersey since 2006, is the first sitting member of Congress to be charged with conspiracy by a public official to act as a foreign agent.

In June, he filed a petition to get on the U.S. Senate ballot in New Jersey as an independent candidate.

He refused to resign, though he did step down as the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee following the initial indictment in September 2023.

This marked the second time the senator was charged with corruption. A 2015 indictment ended in a mistrial in 2018 after a jury failed to reach a verdict on all counts.

Finally! The man doesn't deserve to hold public office and should be locked up like any other common criminal would be. He's been crooked for years and they finally managed to nail him to the wall.

project 2025 came out and set the record straight and confirmed what Trump was saying to be accurate.

He's Catholic. She's Hindu. They had two wedding ceremonies. The one for her had a Hindu priest. Perhaps do some research instead of giving the voice in your head free rein to make stuff up. I know that would be out of character, but you should try it.

Pit gets something in his head, he just runs with it, regardless.

So how does that change that he's a practicing Catholic? What's not out of character for you is trying to make it sound like I said something I didn't say.

More of your scintillating discussion of the topic at hand. (Did I need purple for that?) Pulling up the rear for nothing other than taking personal shots seems to be your favorite position. Because you never have anything else to post.

So did I. And you said shut up and quit posting something that has been debunked.

Fate, I really think he was talking to someone else.

I think he's confused about what the Tweet said, I guess it could be either.

Well, considering I was talking about his wife being Hindu, it seemed you were talking about her since you never specified a gender and were replying to my post. Of course, you don't actually seem to understand what you are replying to, or about, ever, so I should have just left your post unexpanded.

If his wife doesn't practice the religion people are worried about him making the entire country, it seems like a bit of a reach to me. (Actually seems like a typical left wing extremist fabricated crazy conspiracy with mashed together buzzwords designed to engender outrage more than "a bit of a reach," but I was feeling generous.)
