Eric Swalwell's office door highlights his utility to the malign forces that propelled his career.
When he staged his first run for Congress in 2012, Swalwell’s seemingly underdog campaign was aggressively propelled by AIPAC, Big Pharma, and corrupt land developers. Their target was Rep. Pete Stark, a legendary reformer and antiwar stalwart who had infuriated the Israel lobby with his consistent opposition to wars on Iraq and Lebanon.
At the end of their only debate, Stark called Swalwell a “slimeball,” a “fucking crook,” accused him of bribery, and predicted, “you’re going to jail.” Mainstream media condemned Stark as a bully in the throes of cognitive decline, while Swalwell became their darling. After the centrist 31-year-old prosecutor eked out a victory, The New Republic hailed him as a “costume-donning, prop-loving thirty something who ousted Pete Stark.” No mention was made of the bathrobe he donned in his now-notorious role as a liquor-sodden lothario.
In Congress, Swalwell provided a reliable rubber stamp for military aid to Israel while distinguishing himself as the most cartoonish promoters of the Russiagate hoax. When he ran for president in 2019 – polling around 0% throughout his campaign – he branded himself the “Guns and Russia” candidate, meaning he would restrict guns for Americans while forking over billions in military aid to Ukraine.
With Swalwell’s demise, Pete Stark may have gotten the last laugh. But in a Democratic Party that is hostile to class politics, overrun by corporate lobbyists and occupied by Israel, Swalwell was a prototype. In his wake, new slimeballs will rise to the surface.
@VanJones68 Ninja Please. U sound dumb as fuk. Iranians hsve more concern over their country being attack with no care for their family, friends and loved ones.
@InfoAgeStrategy There isn't enough money in the world that will allow Ukraine to expel or cajole Russia to give up acquired land since Russian resources including the most precious of all, Russian Blood was spilled when Peace could have been the remedy all along.
@JTheFantasy You sound like a hater and the type who would lie on Men. All the Brothaz should help promote and grow Daphne's, The Queen of Accountability's platform.
@simonateba So many less than Men on this post making comments about carrying a gun to shoot unarmed Men. If dude that got KTFO was talking ish and wasn't prepared to fight, he learned his lesson.
@simonateba This officer should face charges, like any civilian would. I'll admit context matters such as was warning given, was the officer in imminent danger, etc. The responses i see here is why a civil war seems unavoidable with the lack of humanity people have others.
