Senator Menendez (D-N.J.) CONVICTED

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) was convicted Tuesday of taking bribes from three businessmen who showered him and his wife with cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, an extravagant bounty for his help securing deals with foreign officials and trying to derail several criminal investigations in New Jersey.

Doesn't matter which side you're on, if you're found guilty multiple times of criminal charges as extreme as this, you should resign. You betrayed the trust of your constituents and your oath of office

What could be more corrupt than accepting literal GOLD BARS for political favors? 😂

[fnndhshsbxnf]

Why are people like this still allowed to run our country

[MostCoolestName]

brother. GOLD. BARS!?!? were they tying people to train tracks and twirling their moustaches while cackling as well??

[beigegaming]

He should appeal taking bribes and goods (vacations) to the Supreme Court. I wonder how Clarence would view this case

[FurryNonsense]

A politician using taxpayers' money to live his best life and never working?

That's new.

[jbtpa]

And not a single Democrat thinks this is ok.

[DOOMVXGA]

Ooh, the loop is especially smooth here.

[pulsefel]

SCOTUS: overruled, they bought me lunch

[WeAreMovieMakers]

Now if only we could hold the Supreme Court to the the same standards.

[CodaMission]

As a democrat, I won't lose any sleep over Bob. This isn't his first allegation and he shames the party. Some party SOMEWHERE has to hold its members to an ethical standard, and if its not going to be Republicans, well then its going to have to be Democrats

[timsengragan]

Things like thos used to be called treason and was taken VERY seriously

[davidkong]

If he appeals to the supreme court, Thomas Clarence might have empathy for him.

[jasthebaker]

Can we charge the justices on the supreme Court for bribery as well?

[wildfire]

Where are all the people baselessly defending the innocence of a man they know nothing about?

[Tormekia]

Gotta get to the SCOTUS before you can do stuff like sighs.

[REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

Now if we could only do the same thing against corrupt justices.

[justanotheranimeprofilepic]

Good, hope he steps down. I hate people who take lobbyist's money, let alone actual non-discloused bribes. He doesn't deserve his office

[bluebirdet]

Classic New Jersey move (we need a new Senator)

[Blop_murph]

HES A CRIMINAL. He should resign immediately. And put Clarence Thomas in court next for bribery!
