    I think everything will happen behind the scenes but - call me crazy - he'll be pushed out of congress within a few months. A greater longshot is before New Year's. I think they'll put greater and greater pressure on him to resign. I know I'm in the minority here but I don't say this just to be a contrarian. Biden's polling numbers are shit and right now the dem brand is reliant on them not being seen as corrupt and as criminals. And Menendez is both of those things. Also his criminality is blatant, easy to understand, and cartoony. They're surely spooked about Biden losing next year and dragging the party down with him.

    Having said that - the dems are loathe to do that because of decorum and obedience to the process. Also - and of course - they incompetent and dumb as fucking rocks.

      Not with Dems barely having the Senate, no way he's booted. They'll take the heat and weather it, that's what liberals do. Say the right words, shuffle their feet, and wait for the next distraction before continuing to not do anything.

      We know what Republicans stand for; themselves and the interests of who pays them. By the looks of it, a lot of money comes in from Russia and China (thanks Citizens United, no one def saw that coming ..except the military. The generals said it would endanger national security since day one).

      They absolutely do not have the best interests of yr average American in mind. Dems only know what Americans want from polling, and they'll promise then never deliver. As it always goes.

      One side wants a tragedy to shock doctrine the constitution. So we're left with choice R,= burn it all down at once, and choice D= the exact same thing just incrementally.

      Civil war here we come.
