Gadgetreview.com doesn't mention that Rothman's a Republican until the 2nd to the last paragraph for some strange reason. His website doesn't say 'Republican' anywhere on the 'Home' or 'About' tabs either.
If he were a Democrat it would almost certainly be in the headline or first paragraph.
Gosh, so weird.
I remember some conservative I worked with being butthurt to find out two things - and naturally, he acted like the "liberal media" (lol. rotflmao, even.) was working to "cover it up".
Those were
Hickenlooper was a Democrat.
Jared Polis was gay. Not that this guy was going to vote for him any way, but he thought more people should know, HEY THIS GUY IS GAY! Because he thought that there is no way he should be allowed in office because of that. He thought that any coverage of Jared should put that in the headline and pretty much only cover that he's gay.
Meanwhile, I think it's been most of my life where I've seen headlines where some politician is committing a crime, and I have to read the article to find out they are a REPUBLICAN. Even if I can probably guess that, yes, they are a Republican, because it seems that if they are a Democrat, that's in the headline.
Anyone in a political position, should have a fixed income without any optional ways to make bank. If you work for the people, it should stay that way during and after your tenure.
The monarchs were not the first to be beheaded in the French revolution.
Fun fact.
Unfortunately it’s not the French. Best that can happen is a few placards with slogans and a state mandated pass to march on designated streets as they continue to slide in to apathy.
IIRC the Roman Empire suffered from the same thing. Where the leaders started stealing all the money at the end.
It’s ok, he’s a republican. Rules and laws do not apply to them anymore apparently!
Republican officials selling out America!?? There's no way

String up these corrupt fucks
Thats straight forward quid pro quo if you ask me. It always baffles me that there are people ao evil that they dont think theyll ever have to answer for this behavior.
What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion?
And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Thomas Jefferson
We are ruled by sociopaths.
Fucking asshole.
Perhaps some alchemist out there will turn his ill gotten gold into lead
I know that area fairly well. I'm surprised Cumberland county is only R+8; my impression of it (years ago, though) was more red than that. Nearby is Perry County, and that's R+52 and that definitely tracks, LOL.
Anyway, it's rather amusing to see Republicans kind of waking up to what they voted for.
