    but the biden/obama/clinton/pelosi/schiff family wealth needs no investigation?

    it’s not just debts. it’s any money.

    maybe i’m naive, but i don’t believe you could buy cornel west. i would doubt mysef if he wins the green nomination, drops out, and backs biden. i don’t know anything else that might shake my faith is his character.

      I never said family wealth needs no investigation, I said massive debt which is mysteriously paid off needs investigation.

        meh. i don’t think it’s worth the energy of even saying “there ought to be an investigation” of any of them, myself. i’m saying that you’re looking at the wrong person to start hunting out corruption.

          It’s not about Doctor West, it’s about ANYONE in massive debt seeking public office.

            i think we should start with anyone in public office, pretty much endlessly. let’s root out corruption where it has actually taken place, not where it MIGHT.

              Oh, definitely, the problem with that, as we’re seeing with the Supreme Court, it’s the people in power who are deciding the rules.

              Now we could make a change with some form of anti-corruption constitutional amendment, but that requires a 2/3rds majority in the Senate and we can’t even get 60 votes to break a filibuster much less the 67 needed for an amendment.
