...I am right sometimes.
When the latest indictment against Bob Menendez (D-Scumbag) dropped, the usual instant gratification, "Do SOMETHING" voices on social media immediately lamented that 48 hours after the indictments dropped, there was not a fully unified Democratic Caucus calling for his resignation. The usual "But what about Al Franken" shit was passed around, forgetting that the story around Franken took several weeks to fully resolve.
Anyhoo, I was saying on Twitter that Democrats were not going to get ahead of anything until they had had a pause to think and talk about what to do. It was noteworthy that the New Jersey political machine moved against him first. Then Fetterman called for his resignation.
Today, in a series of perfectly timed statements that creates a cascading effect, we have 18 Democratic Senators (as of 1:40pm) joining Fetterman in calling on Menendez to resign. (No Republicans have called on him to resign. Wonder why.) My guess is that by the end of the day, that number will be close to 40.
Of course, he might not resign anyway. Republicans won't join with Democrats in voting to expel him, as they want to whatabout Menendez's corruption with Trump's. Still, by creating a non-stop release of calls for his resignation, Menendez has to see the walls closing in.
