  2. it’s OK, they’re Republicans. No rules apply to them.

    rape, murder, theft, fraud, insurrection…none of it.

  4. Wisconsin: Hold our beer.

    One of our US Senators, Republican Ron Johnson, lives in Florida.

    One of our current candidates for US Senator, Republican Eric Hovde, lives in California.

    Our most recent candidate who lost the election for Governor, Republican Tim Michels, lives in Connecticut.

    Have you noticed any similarities?

  5. If you wanna lead a life of lawlessness and “fuck you, I got mine” without all those pesky legal/ethical consequences become a Republican. Just don’t spill the beans on the secret hookers-n-blow parties.

  6. “In January, Michigan Advance said Rogers’ campaign told reporters that he was staying at a home owned by his sister-in-law in Brighton, Michigan” , well it’s worked for Josh Hawley ! He uses his “Sisters” address in MO, has a mansion in Virginia where he and his family lives. There has to be something done about these obvious LIES .

  11. I think you have to assume by default if someone is running Republican they are a liar. Party is 100% Trump’s now.

  15. Damn. Being caught living in Florida is embarrassing for anyone!

  17. If you vote Republican you’re not a fan of America anymore

  19. Josh Hawley ‘represents’ Missouri and lives in Virginia. Hawley (R-MO) used his sister’s address to file for candidacy in Missouri. He is only now building a $1.0+MM house in the Missouri Ozarks.

    People, we need to do a better job of vetting everyone, not just Republicans, though they do seem to be the most egregious offenders.

  21. I know his family, and grew up with his son! He came to speak at my middle school class one time… in California hahaha

  22. Dude got caught living there. Meanwhile I wouldn’t be caught dead there. We are not the same.

  23. This man looks like the offspring of Donald Trump and Chris Christie.

  24. So a millionaire Republican Candidate is living in a different state than he is running for office? This is why republicans are so repugnant and a dangerous to democracy

  25. Wait, ***another*** Republican politician who is completely full of shit?

    Wow….

  26. GOP PACs keep funding these carpetbaggers and funneling them into the swing states, where unfortunate gerrymandering has already given this minority maga party (they’re only 25-30% of the country, but have a 42% influence in our decision-making, which we see how amazing their skills are at this – as they continue to double-down w/ their fascist-speak, and letting us know what their plan is for our Democracy (they’re using our Democracy to end our Democracy), and put in place a ruler, not an appointed legitimate candidate. They’re in the FIRST place putting in a very illegitimate candidate as President, a rapist insurrectionist… are you kidding their decision-making is wholesale Russian Propagandized, they embrace it now, with big, dead eyes… and worrisome if we can’t make the gerrymandering illegal again.

    Car pool w/ all the Gen Zs and anyone in poor places where polling places have been removed and they have to take 2 busses and a taxi to get to a polling place, help folks to get out where mail-in voting has become as verboten as common-sense hygiene. Make these magas spend all their money losing. Make that a goal! while voting in democrats who work for ALL of us, even those POS.

  28. So the Republican trend is in order to avoid campaigning in the state you live in, you campaign in another state you have a chance of winning by exploiting someone else’s residency status within the family.

    No wonder people feel like their politicians never listen to them, they’re not even from your state to hear you in the first place.

    Of course it’s another republican getting caught doing the things they say democrats do.

    This really should be illegal. A candidate should only be able to run in the state that the candidate has documented proof that THEY live there, not their sister or in-laws living there. Also, you need to show proof you live there for x amount of years.

    The only reason it isn’t illegal is for two reasons: One, it says they have to be an “inhabitant” not a resident. Residency implies living there for x amount of years, inhabitant is just being there in some way (like using your in-laws residency status). The second is it also says “by the time they are elected”, meaning you can run in a state you don’t belong to while campaigning all the way up to election day. As long as you can establish you inhabit the state (like using your in-laws or sister) by the time election day is over, you can become that state’s politician. We see this occur several times when a politician sees they have a chance of being elected as it gets closer and buys a house in that state using their lobbyist/donor money – having houses in the state they are running in and a house in the state they want to live in.

  29. The craziest thing and probably the main reason Congress sucks these days is because barely any Representatives or Senators actually live in the state/area they represent. It makes them out of touch. How can someone from New Jersey know what the people of Pennsylvania want?

    It really shouldn’t be allowed and it is because the Founders didn’t foresee it like many things. Many of our current problems stem from outdated thinking that we apply to the 21st century because of a 200 year old constitution that is notoriously hard to amend.

  30. I mean. If a Republican opens their mouth I’m going to assume everything they say is a lie.

  33. Well duh, the GOP presidential candidate is a foreigner. 

  34. Didn’t the asshole who held up military promotions doing this same thing where he lives in Florida but represents Alabama or some shit?

  35. He’s a Republican, right? They can do whatever they want just like their leader, Traitor Trump👺
