    Not just your typical corrupt Republican, one of the states most powerful Republican, thespeaker of the house!

    Not just any old influence peddling and cronyism scheme, a $60M kickback scheme!

    “ the largest bribery and money-laundering scheme “ever been perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio.” Said the prosecutor.


    Funded by surcharges on residents energy bills!

    So much for republicans “respecting the taxpayer”!

    ROTFL

    I love how you state: "typical corrupt Republican", like that is some sort of prerequisite for the job. You never want to bring up instances of wrong doing on the left. Let me help you out with that.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A ... _of_crimes
    That is a list of American politicians that have been convicted of crimes. You could start with the list from 2010 to present. I strolled the list counting the D's vs. the R's. I came up with 162 democrats convicted of crimes while serving in office compared to 88 republicans convicted of crimes while serving in office. That is an almost 2 to 1 ratio of scumbaggery in favor of the democrats. I never see you starting any threads about your heros on the left on here when they get busted, and the facts show that they provide a target rich environment. Kind of like how you have been a no show in the WE Charity thread seeing as how it directly implicates your boy wonder dipshit Trudeau.

    In typical left wing blinder wearing fashion, you miss the main point of the story: we Americans ACTUALLY PROSECUTE and INCARCERATE corrupt politicians. We actually have some asses sitting in some jail cells waiting on court dates. What do you have? Nothing!!!The U.S. prosecutes and incarcerates more corrupt politicians than any country on the planet, hell its probably more than the rest of the world combined. Your groper in chief was found guilty of breaking multiple corruption laws for that private party on Aga Khan's private island. What happened to him? Nothing!!! Then there was that whole SNC-Lavalin thing. Not only was that corruption (as in pay to play) it was obstruction of justice. What happened to Mr. dress up for that one? Nothing!!! Some mentally ill man walks into a crowd wearing black face, and he is going to be crucified by your criminal justice system. Your blackface in chief cannot even remember how many times he has worn blackface. He will only admit to as many times as he has been filmed. As more videos come out, he admits to more times wearing blackface. All those times on video with indisputable proof and what has happened to him? Nothing!!! Now we have the WE Charity scandal as well. Whats going to happen to him? Not a damn thing!!! You lefties will see to that.

    You take glee that some republicans got arrested for some corruption scandal, yet you have no remorse whatsoever that your groper in chief seems to break laws at will with impunity. I am proud that my country actually arrests and prosecutes corrupt politicians. Get back with me when you can say the same.

    I have to love your dig about republicans "respecting the taxpayer". Thats a laugh. You just spent billions on two supply ships. How the fuck can someone spend billions on two supply ships, and some asses NOT be in jail? Seriously? Two supply ships? That is the epitome of corruption.

    I can see China shaking in their boots now. "Abort mission and return to base, two Canadian supply ships spotted on the horizon!!". :lol:

    It's OK, Rick, nothing to worry about.


    John Kasich, the former GOP governor of Ohio, more senior than this Speaker,
    is officially going to endorse Creepy pedo Joe Biden at the Convention.


    There is your real corruption, right there. :lol:

    Hillarious

    By the way Trudeau hasn’t been found guilty of breaking any laws nor has he taken any money from anyone

    Unlike your corrupt Republican friend here. It took a scandal this huge for someone to finally get arrested despite the fact that the US basically has legalized bribery anyway
