    The obvious and forthright pay-for-play bribes certainly can.

    If there’s anything in this administration that can be trusted as what-you-see-is-what-you-get: it’s the absolutely unadulterated, and as extremely horrible as it seems corruption and bribery of the Trump family: if you want something, just dump a bunch of cash into the Trump family corruption ring, and you’ll get it.

    It is, literally, every form of fraud and corruption occurring simultaneously and at the highest level, all at once, and they only getaway with it because no one even bothers to try to stop them.

      No one (legally) can stop them.

      Well. Okay, congress can. But not when the Republicans have a majority and choose party over country. . Batman is dead and we replaced Commissioner Gordon with The Joker.

        Those lawmakers should not be able to leave the house in peace. They should have people screaming in their faces and outside their doors 24/7. Forget about going out to dinner. But there’s no pressure on them at all.

          Sure, and he would have done far more good investing his billions into the city that he “loves so much”…instead of lavish lifestyle, huge black-tie galas, hooking up with boys from the circus, and techno-vigilantism.

          But that’s not the point of the metaphor. The point is, even if he was misdirecting his energy, the intent is there. We killed that in favor of an actual comic book villain.

        See, it’s that whole giving up before you even try bullshit that people are really fucking tired of. Fuck all that bullshit.

        The Republicans don’t even care of it’s legal, they just do it anyway. So why are you even getting all hung up on “oh, boo hoo, it’s hard!” what the actual fuck is wrong with you? You sound like a fucking pussy, and why do you think people don’t wanna get behind Democrats?

        You sound like a fucking loser, and think fucking God you’re not running for office

        The left needs to people who see what needs to get done and will actually do what needs to be done to get that shit done. And you are I’m so fucking literally not that type of person.

        So step aside, and let us through, you fucking waste of space

          Dude I gave up before the results were in. You could see, very easily, how the next 2 years would play out on November 6 2024. None of this is a surprise.

          Americans made up their minds, or decided they wanted their minds made up for them and are okay with everything that was fortold two years ago. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

          We, the people, are getting exactly what we asked for.

            Oui, et dans la mort de ton Dieu vit ta propre connerie.

            That’s the best translation that googoo could give me, but I hope you get the meaning.

            Don’t bother replying, cause you’re blocked. Piss into the void, crybaby. Down votes, only count for the sociopaths who have no life.

            And where would we be without your bitching and finger wagging? Your priceless contribution… The entire movement would be dead without you!

                And here you are, accomplishing nothing but annoying people and getting blocked for all your effort

                How proud your parents must be
