    You could put up a sign for him saying ā€œSenator Irving for jailā€.

    Well, if ā€œfenceā€ is among his side hustles, then sheā€™s onto him.

    Senator Irving sounds like a normal democrat politician to me.

    Iā€™m not on the fence and Iā€™m not putting up a sign.

    Lola has just described the tRumppublican party. The only descriptor she left out was indicted.

    Neither party is squeaky clean. The difference between a bribe and a campaign contribution is mostly in the mind of the person doing the donating. Thatā€™s the way the game is played and no one gets to the federal level who doesnā€™t know how to play the game. It simply isnā€™t possible to win if you donā€™t play at least a little bit dirty, or pretend not to notice when other people do it for you, because you put yourself at too much of a disadvantage against the multitude of people who donā€™t have those silly scruples.And, you can make the argument that if itā€™s not illegal, just dishonest and slimy, you kinda have an obligation to do what you expect the other side to do to avoid that disadvantage. So, accept that fact, get past it, and figure out who will be working for you and who will be working against you.All politicians basically work for their own reelection. They may sincerely believe that their being in a position of power helps people they care about, or they may be simply interested in keeping a paying job. The result is the same. The voters need to be informed in order to separate the ones who are interested in helping the middle class from the corporate stooges who can then go get a job with their contributors. If you really want to know who a candidate will be working for, look at a site called ā€œOpen Secretsā€. There are others, but this is a good one. It will tell you who is financing their campaign. We all have to do the bidding of who ever is supplying the money to pay our bills. So do politicians. If most of their money is coming from individuals, unions, or other organizations representing the Middle Class, that is who they are going to work for. If most of their money is from banks, etc, they are going to work for the 1%. They donā€™t really have any choice if they want to win the next election. To vote their conscience against the 1% would be political suicide.

    My mother in law once told me that if you are a decent person you do not go into politics to become a ā€˜senatorā€™.

    Sounds like Lola got over that fence years ago.
