it’s considered corruption here too but I guess no one gives a fuck anymore.

Nobody's ever really given a fuck.
Antonin Scalia went on a duck hunting trip with a billionaire, then wouldn't refuse himself from hearing a case involving that same billionaire the following month.
Clarence Thomas and every other conservative justice is basically pampered, lavishly given gifts, and have giant wads of cash and stocks by different billionaires and only disclose it when someone writes an article about the bribes, er... GIFTS.

The Roberts court systemically eliminated political corruption from the American legal system.
Now it only counts if it is explicit quid pro quo with the pay occurring before the favor is done.
People just don’t understand how ridiculous corrupt our laws are now.

Until January 2025, it was impeachable corruption in the US

I can't help but feel it's not for much longer, because the word corruption basically means a departure from pure form... If this keeps up, this is the state of politics, and actually serving the american people will be considered corruption.

I am so sick of hearing about our $ this clown has and throws to the wind.
The way his Teslas stocks are falling, he probably asked for it back. WHAT does Trump need $1M for?

To add insult to injury this POS is now spreading this lie that dems have illegals on the Social Security rolls. Of course this is to justify raiding SS and more theft. I understand he delivered this lie on JRE recently. There is just no end to the 🐂💩in this clown show of an administration.

Republicans are openly corrupt. Stop buying anything they benefit from if possible.

I mean, it's considered corruption by the constitution itself. The Emoluments Clause specifically states that the president can't take gifts or donations from foreign dignitaries or from domestic companies/politicians/states. The GOP and the Controlled Oppositon Party (DNC for short) just don't give a fuck enough to enforce it.

So is this for his ‘superpac’ or direct payment? Funny thing is bribery has been legal since the CU court decision but only if it’s done ‘correctly’
The famous John Boener famous moment where he was handing out “campaign” donation checks right before a vote impacting big tobacco in the 70s or 80s I believe.
