Maybe we should ask Menendez about the report into his Ethics violations?


“From 2006 through 2013, you accepted numerous things of value from Dr. Melgen, including, but not limited to, travel on private and commercial flights, a luxury hotel stay in Paris, and lodging on 19 occasions at a Dominican Republic villa,” the Ethics Committee wrote. “You did not pay fair market value for, or, where required, obtain necessary written approval from the Committee to accept these gifts.”

The Ethics Committee added: “Notably, you have not disputed the fact that you accepted numerous gifts from Dr. Melgen and took official actions related to his interests.”

Thus, and in unusually harsh language , the Ethics Committee found Menendez had repeatedly violated the Senate rules in his dealings with Melgen.

“You demonstrated disregard for these standards by placing your Senate office in Dr. Melgen’s service at the same time you repeatedly accepted gifts of significant value from him,” the Ethics Committee stated. “Your assistance to Dr. Melgen under these circumstances demonstrated poor judgment, and it risked undermining the public’s confidence in the Senate. As such, your actions reflected discredit upon the Senate.”

Mostly they are pisswd off about how Trump is handling China. Just think, if not for Trump’s trade war, we would never have heard of COVID lockdowns, social distancing or endless mask wearing. The hit to China’s economy impairs the ability of the left to make money the only way they can which is by selling influence.

Biden’s and the EU move to do away with hydrocarbons will hurt the ability of Arab nations to buy American and European food and other products.

The farmers in Iowa need to have the Arabs able to buy grain.

The Chinese economy has fully recovered and is in expansion mode.
