This week on Serious Trouble, we introduce a new recurring character —- Bob Menendez! Will he be a fan favorite or a Cousin Oliver? Tune in to find out.

Also Ken asks if Menendez’ excuse is he’s Cuban and Cuomo’s is he’s Italian, do we need some sort of chart of what crimes different nationalities do? Or . . . Is that problematical? Should we not do that?

Bribery Is Still Illegal

Listen now (46 mins) | The McDonnell line of Supreme Court cases isn't likely to save Bob Menendez; Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani and Robert Costello, who is suing Rudy Giuliani; Judge Tanya Chutkan isn't going anywhere

@Popehat just start with WASPs. Historical crime patterns include genocide, colonialism, enslavement of other humans, fascist tendencies, warmongering, crony corruption, the invention of both parasitic finance capitalism and "greige", and clapping on the wrong beats.

@Popehat umm, what crimes did Cuomo do, besides humiliating #TFG daily during the pandemic?🤔

@edgeoforever Cuomo blamed inappropriate touching of women on being Italian.

@Popehat I've subscribed, and it's been great commentary. Love the transcript option.

@Popehat I don’t Menendez has the staying power to be a main character. His crimes are to obvious and his support is non-existent. He’s more a monosyllabic monster of the week. “Behold the coming of BOB!”

@Popehat It came from the deeps to destroy the surface world! The buoyant beast…BOB!

I’m killing time at a five year olds birthday party.

@Popehat
Glad to see you back here. Hope you've been well and either occupied by things that pay better or things that are more enjoyable than social media. (But not both at the same time. No one deserves that much happiness.)

@Popehat Listening to the Cubans, cash and gold bars list bit... I open the refrigerator to a shelf of beer cans. Yep list needs Australians and beer on it..

@Popehat I can’t be the first to mention that Hunter Biden’s allegations about the hacking of an ‘external hard drive’ are most likely about his iCloud account. That’s also the California connection.

@Popehat While the Bob Menendez is fun to watch, I'm more interested in the new from the Trump Trial in NY that his lawyers didn't mark off the box for a jury trial? ?!?!?!?! Is this really an "oh shit" moment for his team? Or a cynical ploy to get the result tossed afterwards on appeal?

@Popehat crushingly sad, here in mid 2025, to look back on the halcyon days of 2023 when real efforts were being made to hold Trump accountable.
