I'm surprised no one has given him the nickname Gold Bars Bob yet.

Filed as an independent candidate. If he garners 10%+ vote, this seat will be flipped to Republican control.

It will be interesting in October what the Dem machine does to force him out.

I don't know - it seems to be Republicans supporting candidates that are felons these days, not Democrats.

I don't know - it seems to be the only party that voted against censuring a convict from the U.S. House of Representatives were the Democrats, not Republicans.

To whom are you referring?

Jamaal Bowman

We're calling people with a misdemeanor who only got probation and no jail time convicts now? Are we going to start censuring people for parking tickets?

I mean....except for that whole GOP supporting Trump for trying to overthrow the US Government

There's a reason why the Fixer is so intent on calling Jamaal a convict....

Clink on this link: [Link] and tell me whose name pops up in the list of American federal politicians convicted of crimes. I'll wait!

Oddly enough it is only Jamaal Bowman who appears in the name under 2021–present (Joe Biden presidency).

I do not what my intent was except telling the truth. I did not say Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib because they did not convicted of felons.

Dems need to wakeup and realize that Bowman got special treatment. If he was a normal citizen, he would be in jail now.

And that doesn't even mention the fact that by being so selfish in pulling a file alarm for invalid reasons - he denied people hurt of needed services by wasting resources on what what was essentially political act.

Anyone defending Bowman probably should spend a minute volunteering in their community's fire or rescue services. They might realize why pulling a file alarm without a fire is a felony in most states.

Obvious strengths of Fixer's Jamaal Bowman argument aside I do think today's Menendez voter probably does lean Democrat but not to the extent that simply replacing the margin of victory in the average NJ Senate election with Menendez votes portends obvious GOP victory.

That's a pretty serious allegation. Do you have any data whatsoever to back that up? That a first time offender who pleads guilty to falsely pulling a fire alarm usually gets jail time? I don't have the data, but I'm pretty sure I know our legal system well enough to think that is not the case. Purely anecdotal, but I know people who got probation for doing so.

I'm not a fan of Bowman, I thought his excuses for doing it were BS (and said it here at the time) as his guilty verdict showed. That kind of stunt is also potentially more dangerous than most people realize and if he does it again he absolutely should get jail time. But the special treatment accusation is thrown around too much and often unwarranted.

If I went to Congres as a vistor, and did what Bowman did, would I be jailed? Almost certainly (although I'd probably be out by now).

RP:

That is not the only charge he was being charged with. He got the charge of "impeding an official proceeding" dismissed, something not one of the J6 rioters are getting dismissed. I am not condoning J6 riot, but rioters are being charged with the same charge that Bowman got dismissed. I do not care how he impeded the preceding, the fact he did on purpose without a reason is still illegal.

Its....not.....

Its a misdemeanor, A class 2 Misdemeanor at that. Which means that AT MOST Bowman would have gotten 60 days in Jail And/or a Fine. With the judgement determining the criminal sentencing. Which they did.

Bowman has quite literally did the LEAST bad thing of most officials in Congress RN. We have Members of Congress who Quite Literally Sex Trafficked a Minor, sold out his nation for Gold ****ing Bars, AND JOINED WITH A PLOT TO OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT. But "COINCIDENTALLY" all you want to talk about is BOWMAN......

New Jersey ballot design is a little bit notorious about hurting third party candidates

just something to keep in mind in regards to guesses about how Melendez does here

actually setting a date is progress in that regard
