> What the repuglicans are mad about is that they picked a liar (again) and a cheat (again) and have to look like fools (again).

I get that it's fun to own the Republicans, but on this issue (faking Jewish heritage), we literally have a Democratic state senator that did the same. And she is still in office.

So again, ya Republicans are fucking morons and Santos goes above and beyond even Salazar. But on this specific issue (faking heritage for political gain) perhaps some introspection is required.

Also, calling them "Repuglicans" unironically is moronic and makes you look like a fool.

What a sad pathetic life she must have.

That's fair.

...do they? Can I ask for a source?

It hasn't helped, as far as I can tell.

> You can buy a box of those sets from Costco or bjs for only a few dollars,

Do migrants tend to have a Costco or BJs membership?

Also a possibility.

> so, this means they concluded he wasn't guilty.

More likely, they acquired some evidence illegally.

I pointed to Sheldon Silver because he is a high profile politician from NYC.

There are plenty of Republicans as well, but it's definitely harder to find local ones for obvious reasons. Grimm is an example, although he worked for a federal body so I am not sure how that is relevant.

Silver might be a bad example as well, since he worked for a state body. But I am sure I can find other crooks in NYC who kept their pensions.

Right here; the pension system is ridiculous. Even if he was jailed, chances are he would still keep his pension. See Sheldon Silver, for example.

Did I miss a memo? What is the Kraken?

He should know, he wrote a book on ethics.

It is a joke.

I was making a joke.

If you think about it, isn't a slot machine just poker with a lever?

"It's not a tuma"

This is a state sales tax holiday.

What do you think the state police budget is?

> Republicans in other states just ignored the courts

No, they didn't. The courts basically ignored the laws and said "we will let you do this, for THIS election" as if that is some concession. I don't know why you are trying to be aggressively wrong.

>NY Democrats did not.

NY courts correctly shut them down. You are weirdly suggesting that somehow NY Dems were nobly fighting instead of being literal scum and violating a constitutional amendment that the majority of NY voted for.

> I leave that conclusion to more legal minded folks.

Even if you assume they didn't gerrymander it to shit, they very blatantly avoided the proper legal process of overriding the commissions map. And they knew it was unconstitutional, because they tried to amend the constitution with a new proposal, which failed. And then they just did it anyway.

"legal-minded folks" - they fucking lost in court.

>Funny how that never seems to bother Republicans though and they get to use illegal maps every election.

That failure is the courts in their respective states. NYS doesn't govern them.

Anthony Weiner in a skin suit

Because the Democrats violated the NYS constitution blatantly.

?

>As I said before, it’s hard to prove that, because the Zimmerman campaigns complaints were ignored in favor of more crime reporting which played into Santos’ hands.

This is bullshit and you know it. Campaigns have press releases or statements on their website. This stuff is independent of press coverage.

The oppo presented was about Santos's wealth (which they presented as sketchy but without real evidence of wrongdoing ) and phony charity. Nothing about lying about his ancestry, his employment, or his education.

DCCC and Zimmerman focused more on his anti-abortion views and connection with Trump.
