imagine that...

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Back in April 2021, former state Senator J. Kalani English voted with his fellow Senators on a bill that would force government employees to lose their pension benefits if they were convicted of a felony.

It was a reform measure introduced in wake of the Kealoha scandal but the bill English voted on was a watered down Senate version -- allowing a judge to garnish only half of a government worker’s pension if convicted.

It also exempted English because it only applied to public employees who committed felonies after June 2021.

It's like the pot calling the kettle black? There are probably more corrupt politicians in the Republican party. The Trump administration was the most corrupt in modern times. The good thing is that Democrat politicians that commit crimes are prosecuted. Republican politicians that commit crimes are pardoned. Just because a party has corrupt members does not make the party a disgrace. When the party ignores the corruption of it's members and even condones that corruption, it is a disgrace. The RNC classifying the 1/6 attack on our capital as a "legitimate political discourse" is a disgrace.

It is one thing to point out instances of Republicans being corrupt  when someone implies democrats  are a disgrace but to say "don't go there" seems like you are excusing one but not the other? You are just doing whatboutism there. Instead perhaps you should just discuss political corruption in general instead of trying to make it a mud slinging topic.



I think you are misrepresenting the RNC's position on January 6th. All those protestors who didn't break into the capitol building didn't break any laws and protested legally.

And the ones who were charged, many were charged with tresspassing type of charge. Except that 1 guy of course, who wasnt inside, so no tresspass type charge could be brought.

Imagine the precedent being set for all future "tresspass" charges. Bum goes into Macy's and is tresspassed. HPD can lock him up for over a year in solitary. If only we had some kind of document that didnt allow this...something that gives the right to a speedy trial, no cruel punishment, etc...

I will continue to stand against the "Trump Forever" crowd that is willing to trade democracy for an authoritarian dictatorship for the hope of achieving one off political issues.   

You are losing, and you are beginning to panic. That's why you keep coming back here with your commie nonsense.

You can't make the Democrats look good no matter how bad you paint the Republicans.

Not everything is relative.  2 turds in a punchbowl are not going to spark a debate over which one tastes better.

cool story, bro

This whole post was whataboutism so why not respond in kind? The RNC gave all the protesters a pass as "legitimate political discourse". They didn't say anything like only the peaceful protesters. They are back pedaling now on the topic when they discovered how absurd it is to support or downplay the attack on our democracy with a coup attempt. This shows how corrupt and in Trumps pocket the RNC has become. This is the completion of a takeover of the Republican party by proponents of Trumpism. I will continue to stand against the "Trump Forever" crowd that is willing to trade democracy for an authoritarian dictatorship for the hope of achieving one off political issues.   

Even Mitch McConnell who I disagree with on most things agrees:

“It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was,” McConnell said.

Unlike some people with political bias , I completely agree that all corruption should be investigated and prosecuted. Investigate like Benghazi!

So you think Republicans do no wrong and Democrats are corrupt? We were all the appointees in the Trump administration stealing from the government? Fraud, waste and abuse.

Please show me where I said Republicans do no wrong and Democrats are corrupt.
