This crap started with the Patriot Act.
I’m old and remember when the Dims were against the Patriot Act. You know, before they realized they could use it against their political opponents.

Well the far leftists took over when marxist Obama got elected twice. Damn useful tool.
This is why crap like the Patriot Act should never be allowed. When your government turns bad, and they ALL turn bad, you're screwed.
Never look on a down day Zona..
Oh, I know. My response was to the post by ICS on how well our courageous public servants made out on the same day.

the Pelosi tracker...haha
Why is it not mentioned that Romney is second in that list or 2 out of 4 are repubs? It also doesn't show who #1 on that list is. Bottom line is they are all corrupt
Romney and Issa, both R's are clearly on the list, and it wouldn't bother me one way or the other who #1 is, R or D.
My thought process is the same as Harry Truman's in this regard.

I agree that all of them are corrupt, but Romney is no R. He is the definition of "rino"

Romney isn't a republican. And yeah most are corrupt, but Pelosi is my superstar **** who needs the spotlight on her nice and bright.
The Pelosis are communist royalty. Look at what they have been involved in. Nancy was just awarded presidential freedom award. Her hubby was caught drunk driving. Couple weeks later gets caught with his gay lover. And Nancy never loses on a stock deal.

What to Know
- A state lawmaker from Brooklyn was accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman early in his legislative career when he went to her home to discuss disaster relief efforts for Haiti.
- The lawsuit accuses Sen. Kevin Parker of assaulting her in 2004, during his first term. The woman said she had been working with Parker to coordinate the delivery of items and donations to Haiti after a devastating flood that affected the country and other neighboring Caribbean Islands
- The suit was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special state law that created a yearlong suspension of the usual time limit for accusers to sue. The law is set to expire after Thanksgiving.
A state lawmaker from Brooklyn was accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman early in his legislative career when he went to her home to discuss disaster relief efforts for Haiti.
The lawsuit, filed Friday, accuses Sen. Kevin Parker of assaulting her in 2004, during his first term. The woman said she had been working with Parker to coordinate the delivery of items and donations to Haiti after a devastating flood that affected the country and other neighboring Caribbean Islands.
The suit was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special state law that created a yearlong suspension of the usual time limit for accusers to sue. The law is set to expire after Thanksgiving.
A spokesperson for Parker, a Democrat, did not immediately comment when asked about the lawsuit.
A spokesperson for the Senate's top Democrat, Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, said the allegations were “extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously.”
“We will take appropriate action as more information is learned,” said the spokesperson, Mike Murphy.
The woman said in the lawsuit that the assault happened after Parker came to her apartment to pick up photos from a visit she had made to Haiti. Parker represents part of Brooklyn with a large Caribbean and Haitian community.
After they finished discussing her work, the woman stood up to say goodbye when Parker grabbed her wrists, took her down a hallway to her bedroom, made a sexual comment, and then raped her, the lawsuit said.
Email and phone messages left for the woman's lawyers were not immediately returned. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly.
In 2005, Parker was arrested and charged with third-degree assault after punching a traffic agent who gave him a ticket for double-parking, according to news reports from that time. In that same year, a former aide accused Parker of threatening her after she publicly complained that he shoved and hit her when she worked for him.
Parker was also convicted of misdemeanor criminal mischief charges in 2010 after he chased a New York Post photographer and damaged their camera.
New York state government has struggled for years with allegations about sexual harassment and misconduct by politicians.
In 2021, former governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, resigned over a barrage of sexual assault allegations, in which one of his accusers had claimed he had groped her, though the criminal charges were later dropped.
In 2013, former Assemblymember Vito Lopez, a Brooklyn Democrat, resigned over sexual harassment allegations that Assembly leadership had been covering up with secret payments.
