   Apparently, it only takes two high-profile deaths and one high-   
   profile overdose in the home of a member of the political elite   
   before he or she will actually be charged with a crime.   
      
   That’s the case, at least, for Democrat Party mega-donor Ed   
   Buck, who was arrested Tuesday night in Los Angeles.   
      
   “The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said Buck, 65, was   
   charged with one felony count each of battery causing serious   
   injury, administering methamphetamine and maintaining a drug   
   house,” according to CBS.   
      
   Supposedly an LGBTQ rights activist and progressive Democrat,   
   two gay black men have died of drug overdoses in Buck’s home in   
   recent years, which was known as a safe haven for degeneracy and   
   deviance. Gemmel Moore died there in 2017, and Timothy Dean in   
   2019. Moore’s mother is reportedly suing Buck civilly over the   
   death of her son.   
      
   Perhaps most interesting are the Democrat Party candidates – all   
   of whom spend their time morally posturing about how much better   
   than you they are – who have taken money from Ed Buck despite   
   his penchant for behavior that violates the norms of society.   
      
   Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are on the list.   
      
   “Buck, a one time candidate for West Hollywood City Council, is   
   well-known in LGBTQ political circles in Los Angeles and has   
   donated thousands of dollars to local Democrats and animal   
   rights causes, as well as to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama,”   
   according to BuzzFeed.   
      
   Buck didn’t just donate to presidential candidates, though. He   
   is known for donating to California congressional candidates and   
   local politicians too.   
      
   “Records dating back to 2009 showed Los Angeles Mayor Eric   
   Garcetti was one of Buck’s high-profile recipients, receiving   
   $1,400 in 2016,” CBS Los Angeles said.   
      
   Garcetti is a frequent critic of President Donald J. Trump.   
      
   “The Trump Administration’s latest hateful idea is nothing more   
   than a needless distraction and a waste of time. We need real   
   solutions that uphold our values — not disgraceful policies that   
   demonize immigrants and will never become reality,” he said in   
   April.

   Garcetti eventually returned the money Buck donated to him.   
      
   “Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu took in $19,400 in state and   
   federal donations from Buck,” CBS said.   
      
      
      
   Lieu, too, constantly attacks the president for what he views as   
   inferior morals.   
      
   “Many people say that folks who are stable don’t go around   
   saying they are stable, and folks who are smart have no need to   
   announce they are geniuses. [Trump] feels compelled to do both.   
   Repeatedly,” Lieu said last week.

   Lieu only returned Buck’s donation after the second Dean died in   
   Buck’s home in 2019 – two years after the first death there.   
      
   “Buck gave Adam Schiff, now chairman of the House Permanent   
   Select Committee on Intelligence, $2,700 in 2016,” CBS said.   
   “The campaign says the money went to the nonprofit Trevor   
   Project.”   
      
      
      
   Schiff, too, is incessant in his moral superiority.   
      
   “While Trump launches an all-out assault on the environment,   
   rolling back protections for endangered species, our water, and   
   our air — California remains steadfast. We will not allow our   
   natural resources to be tarnished for generations to come. Not   
   on our watch,” he said Tuesday.
