[Dribble]

Don't you just hate it when you accept gold bars as a bribe...and then you find out they are linked to a robbery that occurred a decade ago? I mean...who can you trust?

Isn't it better to be an agent of Egypt than an agent of Saudi?

^^ power has the ability to corrupt but, even before that, will often attract the worst kind of people seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of others

if they are corrupt, may they serve many years in prison

Now this guy is throwing his wife under the bus to have her take the rap.

Ask @Rightguide , that is their purpose. Be in the kitchen, clean the house, take the fall for a bribery scandal.

Except he can’t even keep someone in the house, maybe his cultish beliefs keeps people away. Or maybe he is just as big of an ass in person as he is here.

Hopefully part of his sentence is to be neutered. If she's going to lose her tits, he needs to lose his balls.

 

[Bn2f]

Bob Menendez is guilty as Hell!
End of story!
No way is he going to get away with this by pointing his finger at his wife blaming her as some sort of fixer. I just came here to make sure none of you libtards were trying to pass this off as a victimless crime.

 

[jaF0]

^^^ He was guilty the first time too.



Kind of odd that the briber was convicted, but the bribee was not:
