On September 22, influential United States Senator Bob Menendez was indicted on corruption charges along with his wife, Nadine.
It is the second time Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has faced such charges.As per the indictment from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Menendez and his wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from three New Jersey businessmen in the form of gold, cash, a luxury vehicle and assorted other goodies.
So much for that silly old concept of “conflict of interest.”At the end of the day, though, Thomas’s antics are merely of a piece with US capitalism, which is predicated on maintaining a tyranny of the elite under the guise of democracy. In other words, it’s about as corrupt a system as you can get.That anyone can still apply the term “democracy” to the US with a straight face is, meanwhile, a testament to the corruption of language itself.
