"Citizens United has done so much damage, so rapidly, it's disgusting" Truer words have never been spoken! This is, for me, the single biggest issue of our lifetime. It's legalized corruption. Nothing more, nothing less. All problems in society could start being addressed from an honest standpoint if this gets resolved.
"He spent his career as a police officer. Now he's indicted." 😂 Also, I appreciate how you highlight the contrast between how the Justice Department has investigated Adams to the sheer impunity Clarence Thomas appears to operate in. It's baffling to me how the federal government can allow SCOTUS to investigate and clear itself of ethical violations. How can anyone trust the courts if its highest body is only ever accountable to itself?
I'm a little jaded but I feel like they only bring anyone powerful to justice is to suit other more powerful people's goals, it's little to do with justice, I feel like they have dirt on manny most in mid level of power and just wait until it's advantageous to remove them if ever.
It might just be me but the fact he went straight to the church after getting into some trouble (especially with all the damage he has done to those same black folks with his policies), tells me he is guilty
That's one thing that REALLY gets on my nerves. I mean, you never wanted to go to the church BEFORE trouble? Didn't need it? Didn't believe in it? What?? Why are you there NOW?
Funny, cuz Clarence Thomas and Tiffany Henyard certainly came to mind. Glad, you pointed that out. Also, as a Brooklyn resident who’s been stopped and frisked during the Bloomberg era, I was done with Mayor Adams. Now, he knows how it feels 🤷🏾♀️ . Appreciate your time and energy💯🫶🏾.
Was just watching this on NBC. These are illegal benefits, but it’s really hard to care about the federal prosecutor’s case here when CLARENCE THOMAS exists.
No, we can definitely care, and care hard. If Thomas is going to be charged, prosecutors are going make sure their case is airtight, and given the current political climate, we’d get stuck with a worse Justice or have someone nullify the jury to make a point
@@lrf1013 They sure do love to brag about how they buy politicians and elections and will get rid of anyone who doesn't support their country. That sounds a lot like foreign influence

NYC black men down bad right now. I’m from South Carolina until further notice. All I will say is he learned this behavior from somewhere. My mother works for the NYPD and she can not stand buddy. He is not liked at all.
This is the threat of ageism in political action. Chosing delegates on perceived maturity when they have not done actions representative of progress. I'm not surprised.
Not campaign donations. Straight letting turkey pay for things: a tit which is against the rules, even if there is no proof of any tat. Even the appearance of corruption is a problem. And there is no legit reason for the mayor of a US city to be accepting 100s of thousands of dollars in ongoing, recurring gifts... which leads to things like unsafe buildings being pushed through.
I have some financial licensing through FINRA for my job and I can't so much as donate $10 to a political candidate without reporting it because there is no good reason for undisclosed donations in a position like mine. The only logical reason is corruption, just like unreported gifts from foreign governments paid to US officeholders.
Agreed, lots of parallels with Clarence Thomas. And the Supreme Court seems to continue to make decisions with their own interest in mind; the recent Snyder decision on officials accepting gratuities for their past acts comes to mind.
Obviously all this stuff is fucked up and he's definitely not a good person. But stuff like this and the Diddy thing seem akin to offensive holding in the NFL. If they really wanted to they could call it on every play. When the powers that be are done with you, they blow the whistle and call foul on the stuff they already knew you were doing.
New York City is scary rn. With the rent , the crime , the division of wages, immigration, price hikes and taxes, garbage, subway system, gentrification, the mayor getting indicted . Everything here is out of whack , I’m 28 grew up here my whole life and I’m finally feeling like I’m about to be pushed out of my city.
The people he got in his cabinet were resigning like flies. Now the feds going for the head of the swarm 😂. Less than 1% acquitted rate against the feds so good luck Eric 😂
I know that video is about corruption. But generally speaking, I really appreciate you covering political news. We all need to stay tuned in, because it affects us ✌🏽😊
Why would anyone mess with the 5 district I don’t live nowhere near NYC but I know enough to know that those ppl in that office don’t play with anyone no matter your status wow him and diddy both gettin it. Didn’t he give diddy the key to the city and force to take it back from him?

Lmao, the main dude for the republicans has been convicted on over 30 felonies, a bunch of crimes before he entered politics and likely has a lot more droppin in the near future. He was officially adjudicated to have r*ped one woman, has been accused by more than 30 others, including a 12 year old and a 13 year old, and illegally used campaign finances to sleep with a porn star. He increased drones strikes to an even HIGHER level than Obama did, which I didn't even think was possible and extrajudicially bombed Iran for no reason and a schoolbus full of children in Yemen. He executed more people with the death penalty than had been done in 60 years (as in, all of the presidents in that time combined), SOLELY so he could look "tough on crime" to his racist supporters, despite a moratorium being placed on it for some time beforehand. I could go on and on, particularly if we wanna include just general awful policy that hurt people, but the most significant thing here is that there will always be corruption in politics; that's just the nature of the game. It could be the "end poverty, world hunger and war, and also give everybody a free pony" party and there would still be some unsavory people in it. The main difference between the republicans and the democrats in this regard is that when a dem politician commits a crime, the rest of the party immediately kicks them to the curb and tells them to resign. When a republican politician commits a crime, the entire party lies on their behalf and insists it's a conspiracy, further eroding trust and participation in our institutions. Don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of gripes with the dems, but this is the LAST instance you can use as evidence to not vote for them, particularly if you're implying that the GOP isn't way, WAY worse about it. And this is all aside from the fact that Adams is basically a republican to begin with.
