No other Democrat senator supported convicted felon Charles Kushner for a top diplomatic role.
Cory Booker is a two-faced liar
Jesus fucking Christ Democrats are worthless.
Kushner did a lot worse than lying to the FEC and tax evasion. Charles Kushner was pardoned by Trump for those back in 2020 but he admitted to a lot worse during the plea deal. This guy is absolute scum.
Real estate developer and political contributor Charles Kushner was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his pleas of guilty to assisting in the filing of false tax returns, retaliating against a cooperating witness and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie announced.
…
Kushner further admitted at his plea hearing that he devised a scheme to retaliate against a cooperating witness - his sister - and her husband by having a prostitute seduce the husband and covertly filming them having sex. Kushner admitted that he paid a private investigator $25,000 to arrange for the seduction and videotaping of the cooperating witness’ husband. Kushner admitted to personally recruiting the prostitute and instructing that the videotape be mailed to the cooperating witness.
Corporate Democrat and slippery shit Corey Booker proves once again to be all bluster, goes against his words and again votes yes to confirm another disgraced slimeball much to the chagrin of his party and constituents
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
The Democrats are complicit
What was the point of all of that filibustering, if he was just going to act like a corrupt douchebag? These dudes are always slimy. Didn’t he save someone from a burning house and date Rosario Dawson? What a waste. I would be surprised if he was even straight at this point.
It was a performative spectacle to get his name in the news. Few of our elected officials have any actual skillset for good governance. They have a skillset for getting elected.
The point was to distract. There was an investigation into him being published at the same time. Booker only cares about himself.
They are all lining their pockets.
The only thing worse than Booker’s ill-conceived vote is that Dem leadership is so failed at this point it can’t get everyone on the same page, ever.
I need to add too, this is a fucked up headline - I don’t know why the it’s ‘Ivanka’s father in law’ either. We all know Charles Kushner by his own misdeeds, don’t we?
Weird how everyone mocks the “both sides” people, even when both sides jump on board the nepotism train.
Because it’s not “both sides.” There are three sides, here. You’ve got Republicans, who are universally awful. Then you’ve got corporatist Democrats, who are also universally awful, although marginally less so. Finally, you have actual Democrats like AOC, who aren’t awful in the slightest.
The “both sides” people never differentiate between the second two groups. What we need is more of group #3 and less of groups #1 and #2, but pretending all we have is #1 and #2 is bullshit that doesn’t help anyone.
When the corporate democrats have full control of the party it effectively eliminates group #3
Cory Booker has been and will always be a gigantic phony. Pure performance art at every step. I mean he’s dating Rosario Dawson, like every normal, morally grounded man of the people would do.
Republican nepotism.
50 / 51 Republicans voting yes.
44 / 45 Democrats voting no.
“Democrats are bad.” “It’s the ratchet effect.” “They’re all against us.”
We’re being spit roasted.
Vote Blue No Matter Who! strikes again.
Fuck the Democrat party. Done with all of the ones in that party who approve of this fascism going on.
