'Something very wrong is afoot': Investigation sought into senator's free use of $1 million luxury home
'One must ask, if the laws written do not prohibit this particular situation, then what were they even written for?'

An ethics and accountability organization is calling for a special investigation into U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat from Georgia, for a sweetheart deal he enjoys: A $1 million luxury home bought for him about the time he was elected and to which he has complete access.

Without paying rent.

It is the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust that charges that Warnock is living rent-free in a home that Ebenezer Baptist Church bought in 2022 for $989,000 just as he was elected to the Senate, but he "has not included any information about being provided housing on his financial disclosure report."

He does report an annual "income" from the church of just under what the Senate determined is a maximum amount a senator can "earn" from an outside source, a limit that was about $32,000 in 2023.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm sure he will justify it by claiming it's in the low rent district of the millionaires homes.  The millionaire's slum :whistle:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Surprised he isn't claiming he's moonlighting as a house sitter.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Yep. And it's commonly viewed (and justified) as a form of Reparations: Sticking it to the Man.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
