      **Took them long enough. But the bad thing about this is that it was at all.necessary. A criminal should not join the house, and if found out should immediately resign on his own. But he stuck to the seat and it took ages to get rid of him.

        Sorry, as a Jew, I’m not really seeing the comedy in a guy pretending to be descended from Holocaust victims and then passing it off as a joke.

            Are you seriously saying that I support Israel’s genocide because I’m a Jew?

            I’m not an Israeli, I’m an American. I have no interest in Israel at all. You do know that not all Jews are Israelis, right?

        Either you are not american or you are the type who thinks burning this to the ground is always somehow the easier and better way to fix things.

            And yet no, they really aren’t. The criminal charges are not something most of his contemporaries are facing.

                    And this guy lying to those working people, about even his most basic information, to get into power at any and all cost, stealing their right to make an informed decision and setting a precedent for anyone to do the same if he is allowed to remain in his office, somehow proves he cares about them more… how?

            This guy, given his proven baseline morals, would’ve become one of the worst in terms of corruption.

                My point is how much he lied about himself, misled his own voters, I don’t see how he would’ve been less corrupt given a bit time. I’m pretty sure it generally holds that a new comer is less corrupt than when he/she is an old timer.
