Swalwell is probably a rapist and was living in some oligarch's commune?

What the actual fuck is wrong with everyone who runs for office in the ulcered sphincter of asserica?



Stephen Cloobeck (64) — timeshare mogul worth ~$750 million, who describes himself as a billionaire. Self-described generous patron who houses "many people."

Adva Lavie / Mia Ventura / Shoshana / Shana (~28) — Cloobeck's fiancée. Former IDF soldier turned Penthouse Pet, Playboy model, and OnlyFans creator. Facing six felony charges for using dating apps to cultivate relationships with wealthy older men and then burglarizing their homes across LA County between 2023 and 2025. Currently on an ankle monitor. She allegedly threatened victims with false sexual assault accusations to keep them from going to police. Previously married to an adult film actor called "Big Nick" who was convicted of vehicular manslaughter after killing a motorcyclist and she only filed for divorce after Cloobeck had already proposed. Wedding planned for June 18 in Israel, now in jeopardy because the court stripped her passport.

Eric Swalwell — sitting congressman running for governor, accused of sexual assault by four women including a former staffer who alleges rape. Neighbors in Livermore, where Swalwell claims residency, say they've never seen him, raising questions about whether he was actually living in Cloobeck's mansion full-time.

"Many others" — unnamed, unexplained.
 
I've been asking myself the first three words in the title for 10 years now.
 
I lost faith the moment he was bragging about grabbing pussies, and mocking a disabled journalist. If these basic standards are already violated and everybody seems to be ok with it, what can you expect from there on?

Of course, it started far earlier with the embarrassing procedure of replacing SCOTUS judges under Obama, or even at the degrading manner of questioning Obama's birth certificate. Ever since, there has been a continuous line of degeneration, until finally allowing a dictator to become president. An extraordinarily stupid and narcissistic one, I may add.
 
Human are inherently weak and fall prey to our caveman desires. This why we need proper guardrails.
Absent inappropriate outdated criteria such as gender and ethnicity, we need to strengthen minimum requirements for holding public office. These guardrails should increase along with the responsibilities and importance of the office. Elections must not be simple popularity contests.

The old adage "any citizen can become President"* should not be taken literally to mean everybody is qualified to hold office.

*Actually, we were told as children "Any boy can grow up to become President of the United States.".
