ALL Americans benefit when their elected officials show that they actually have a spine and some ethical standards. That’s the case regardless of which political party is involved.

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Regardless of what color tie this charlatan wears, I hope everyone in this sub can agree that he has no place in government. He is a fraud.
This guy is embarrassing. Hopefully he does not get voted in again.
I don't give a fuck if I'm voting for Mr. Crime himself, so long as he's a reliable vote in congress.
Edit: On second thought, I am not even going to engage with you. You aren’t worth a “conversation”.
Republicans be like criminals are A-OK as long as they vote for our side.
Quite literally the argument in the article. It's shameless!
Yes I know some and they are firmly in a "the ends justify the means" mindset.
But he hasn’t been convicted of anything
It's a pretty well-attested principle of conservativism that you can't charge an office-holder, a future office-holder, or someone standing as candidate for office. Expelling him from Congress is the only way he can be charged, so of course that had to happen first.
I mean, otherwise it's a perfect circle of legal immunity, right? Can't expel a politician who hasn't been convicted; can't convict a politician who hasn't been expelled.
guess democrats aren't americans then.
