Beat me to it.

You know, like throwing your wife under the bus.

It's the biblical thing to do. In Genesis, when called out on eating the apple, the first thing Adam does is blame it on his wife, and then blame it on God for giving him his wife.

I would be ridiculously excited if we could flip this seat.

Quit
Find a new line of work

How people can be that stupid and functional at the same time, god only knows.

They arrived separately and sat far apart. She wouldn't even look at him.

I guess reading about his mistresses in the indictment didn't sit well with the wife, that plus him throwing her under the bus.

Throwing his wife under the bus to cover his own sorry, lying ass. I'm sure she's equally guilty, but his very rapid "chivalrous" response is something else.

I've hated this SOB since the day I learned about him. Lock him up and throw away the key!

pet rabbit . If they don't steal how can they afford the bare necessities ?

Oops. Maybe not.

Sadly, I'm not sure it will make enough of a difference. A boat load will vote for him anyway because Republican.

I'm sure tossing his spouse under the bus won't matter to his Republican supporters, but it's still the act of lowlife coward.

to fly your pet rabbit is a routine expense everybody does.

And that's right, throw your wife under the bus for stuff you both did, see how many votes that gets you.

Disgusting. Blaming his wife.

The buck stops anywhere but "here."

Times are tough.

The distrct got moved across the bay, and Duncan SR with it, Jr got elected because most voters were unaware Daddyo had retired. Family fiefdom is likely ending.

Given more time, he can perhaps concoct a more believable story that makes himself appear noble. As it is, this feeble lie just makes him look like the type who would gladly steal donor's money.

you're supposed to day-trade stocks in your Capitol Hill office, using insider information gleaned from pending legislation, to get rich while in office. Just ask Hot Tub Tom Delay.

Kids nowadays--no initiative.

republicans never take personal responsibility for their wrongdoings. Sick weasels.

He's just all over the fucking map rambling on and on.

Maybe if he supported liveable wages or at least increases in the minimum wage, it would be more "affordable". Seems they like to use the campaign account as a slush fund.

You are about to find out what the undercarriage looks like, courtesy of your husband.

But I do blame voters for electing this failure of a human being

I mean, if you need to live in Kansas to make ends meet, leave CA, give up that seat in DC, find a real estate gig in Kansas.

I'm sure you'll be way more comfortable, and won't have to illegally spend campaign money.

As of 2017, the base salary for all rank-and-file members of the U.S. House and Senate was $174,000 per year, plus benefits

So they apparently can't live on $210K.Of course, charging those personal expenses to his campaign isn't just against the law, that is income he didn't pay federal or California income tax on.

Hey, I realize that San Diego and DC are both expensive real estate markets, but Chuck Schumer shared a townhouse in DC for DECADES. I don't know why members of Congress think they should live like they are WEALTHY on the taxpayers dime. I read that he bounced an average of 3 checks a week for 7 YEARS. He just doesn't know how to live within his sizable means.

Not so much once the shit gets real, eh?

Or was that his dad? I wonder what he thinks of his hero now? Of course maybe he likes him again since Duncan is crapping on a woman.

What kind of man does that? She's lucky she wasn't deployed with him or he'd have used her as a shield.

His daddy built up a crap-load of bank as both a military retiree and a long-time Congressman, and was smart enough to cover his tracks and not to get caught when buddy Duke Cunningham was caught with both hands in the Pay to Play cookie jar.
Even after a supposed degree in IT and a stint owning his own business instead of just living off the government teat most of his life like Daddy, Jr. still couldn't figure out how to properly manage his not inconsequential financial opportunities.

Good lord, what I could do on an congressman's salary on just a few years of pinching pennies and access to cheap housing at the MWR Lodge at the Navy Yard when I was in DC.

Both he and the Missus are way too addicted to living the high life of a Trust Fund family - without having that trust fund in place.

Of course, his next cop-out will be TBI and PTSD because of his time as a Marine Artillery Officer.

Funny how that didn't seem to affect President Harry Truman...an artillery officer who was in charge of a forward observation post during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and supported Patton's tanks; those heavy WWI guns were pretty damn loud and concussive.

What a slimeball! Ugh!

$173,000 is NOT a lot of money when you figure you have to maintain two houses - one in your district so you remain eligible to be in Congress, another in DC so you're not sleeping on the couch in your office - and you've got to fly back to your district several times a year to beg for campaign contributions.

He's not the first politician who tried to compensate for the fact his eyes were bigger than his wallet by dipping into his campaign funds, and he won't be the first one to go to prison for it.

...only wish they had. Maybe his kids could go to public school. Maybe his wife could get a job to help make ends meet.

By the way, I never heard any of my congressional representatives over the years complain about the salary, the perks, the travel time, not any of it. None of them were or are rich (with the exception of the Huffingtons, and they gave up after one term). And I will put Santa Barbara's cost of living -- especially housing -- up against just about anywhere.

Face it, Mr and Mrs Hunter: you guys are crooks.

"representing in congress", he should move to a cheaper location and reestablish himself as "congressgrifter". Maybe one of the Dakotas or Nebraska, Kansas, etc. I hear prices in Kansas are sharply discounted. That may also solve the wife and kids problem, as they are unlikely to go with him. But, that's the sacrifice everyone makes to give Trump another vote in the House.

...the soon to be Ex-Mrs Duncan Hunter lets him know what she thinks about his feelings....

Wonder who gets custody of the Pet Rabbit?
