@bronzebust @nickventuri This dialogue feels really out of touch. Lots of hardworking people dont have 10k in a checking or savings account, and yes that would feel like a big boost for us.

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.”

Congress makes $174k.
Median income is about $63k.
Minimum wage is $7.25.

If your “public servant” needs Wall Street crime to survive, that’s not a government, that’s a cartel.

Welcome to neo-feudalism. You’re the peasant, they’re the aristocracy.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading, but $15/hour is too much for everyone else.

Every single fucking day these people prove how disconnected they are from normal Americans.

I normally stay out of political drama, but since I was the “friend in Savannah” Cynthia referenced, I feel obligated to speak honestly about what I personally witnessed.

Thomas and Cynthia visited my home in Savannah after the passing of his wife. From my recollection, it had only been a few months, and he was clearly heartbroken and grieving. I specifically remember conversations by the pool where he talked about how deeply the loss affected him. He did not come across as someone acting recklessly or maliciously. He was kind to Cynthia, respectful, and they appeared happy together at the time.

I also personally knew Cynthia was going through a very difficult divorce during that period and was unhappy with her legal representation. To my recollection, the $5,000 Thomas gave or lent her was related to helping her obtain a different attorney during that divorce situation — not “hush money.”

Separately, Cynthia had ongoing workplace complaints involving Rep. Spartz’s office that she discussed long before any of this current public controversy. From what I understood at the time, those issues were about what she described as a toxic work environment and had nothing to do with Thomas.

I am not speaking on politics, campaigns, or what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. I can only speak to what I personally observed. Based on my own experience around both of them, the timing of these allegations — one week before an election — feels very strange to me.

People can draw their own conclusions, but I felt it was important to share firsthand context instead of speculation.

@Lena178159 @mandyarthur As a victim myself, what exactly is she allegedly a victim of? A relationship that didn't work out or end amicably? Even if you take her at her word, he's at worst someone who asked her to try stuff & she declined? Most of her allegations are ethical in nature & lack specificity.

[KB @KBD38]

@JayTC53 @GoldenAgeTimes2 What evidence do you have he was cheating on his wife?

[KB @KBD38]

@Tatorfirst It wasn't his former staffer & she didn't allege he offered her $60k, but rather the congresswoman she briefly worked for. No one is alleging sexual assault? They were reportedly in a relationship & she alleges without detail that he asked her to do 'things' and she declined.

@qarper @SceneinCinema She was 21 then but she has his baby at 16! Doesn't take much of a Google to confirm
