    Most senators do make quite a lot of money during their careers.

    Edit: hopefully the picture works better. But yeah, it’s pretty bad. Too many selfish people in charge.

      Thank you! I did know it was a paid position, I was hoping it would point out how absurd it is to tie someones financial future to their ability to win elections. Why would they do anything but ensure they stay in office?

      All the more motivation for Platner to deny there were any more potential scandals even while he knew that this woman believed he raped her. She texted him that he had sex with her without her consent. And he flatly denied that there were any more skeletons in his closet.
