With friends like that...

I feel like something could be said about democrats, corruption and the tip of an iceberg.
“Stepping down”???
Why isn’t he being booked on criminal charges like any other of the “little people” would be?
From Rangel to Peter Stark... from an arrogant crook to an arrogant commie.
Yeah, you’re a racist. You can’t get a bunch of people together anywhere without having a loser or two in the crowd.
You ought to like Rangel. He spent an entire career hurting black people.
By the mid-1960s Powell was being increasingly criticized for mismanagement of the committee budget, taking trips abroad at public expense (including travel to his retreat on the Bahamian isle of Bimini), and missing sittings of his committee. He was also under attack in his district, where his refusal to pay a slander judgment made him subject to arrest. He spent increasing amounts of time in Florida.
Seventy years of this nonsense, divided between 2 perps: Harlem sure loves its grifters; no wonder Billy feels at home in his offices there.
I don’t believe it .
