It’s insane how we’ve relied far too long on a sort of gentleman’s agreement around presidents and congress and all. I don’t think the founding fathers could have EVER anticipated the amount of corruption that could occur.
If the orange turd did one thing, it’s to lay bare how truly exploitable and corruptible the ruling class can be. I mean, we all know it was bad but he truly showed by bad (and open) it could get. And how nothing whatsoever would be done about it…

Conservatives lose pretty much all the time when voting is fair. That’s why they work as hard as possible make voting harder and create districts where they are guaranteed to win.
If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.
Not that I use them anymore anyway, cancelling my old account, but name and shame any companies who conveniently can’t support their free base. Also - it’s VNC. It’s a protocol. There’s a dozen free clients out there.
I had that happen for a while too, somehow it thought I was using it too much or something that wasn’t for personal use. You can request a whitelist if you are so inclined. The process was pretty simple: anydesk.com/en/whitelist-request
After I did that I haven’t seen that pop back up in over a year.
Wasn’t there a video where Trump was saying this is what would happen if Biden won but everything in the video happened while he was president? I seem to recall that 4 years ago…
He’s been a criminal for all of his adult life. He’s just rich and white and flew under the radar enough. If he had just fucked off into retirement on some island rather than becoming president (and committing more crimes) you’d probably never hear about him anymore and he could have lived in peace.
I dunno mate, he seems to be high on coke all the time so that aneurysm may be closer than you think. Also, if he ends up broke under a bridge (I can hope!) then his reach is greatly diminished.
lol Trump can’t even hold a cup of water with one hand. All the stupid signs/flags/whatever with him ripped are one of the most absurd things I’ve seen.
Imagine how much democrats would be ridiculed if there were ripped Biden flags everywhere…
It’s the only thing allowed, lol. According to the wiki article OP linked all other motor vehicles (other than tractors) are banned. You would think there would be an exception for emergency services…
The article is light on details around the actual cash itself but I have to wonder if it wasn’t counterfeit. If you are, without any type of conversation, randomly trying to pay off jurors that seems like a lot of real money to just blindly throw at the problem and hope it goes away.
Even $5k or $10k could be a life-changing amount of money for some people, seems like it would be easier/cheaper to start there (if it’s real) then promise more on a specific outcome.
It’s not like your average person would be able to tell a real from a fake bill…
How in the fuck does someone even spend that much a month?! Even in some crazy scenario where me and my wife eat out every single night I can only get to like $2300 monthly for restaurants. Throw another $5k (high) for mortgage, grocery, bills, etc doesn’t put me anywhere close. Hell, if you stayed at a hotel for 30 nights at even $200 a night that’s only $6k. Lots of hookers and drugs?
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign and businesses have provided “Significant financial benefits” to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning - shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump’s attorney....
Yeah there is ZERO chance he willingly drops out. Getting re-elected is his only path out of the hole he keeps digging deeper. Well that or leaving the country for good and living out his days in Russia.
In the “no shit Sherlock” category, these people love to run their mouths and talk tough but they crumple with the slightest inconvenience (see wearing a mask). Fucking snowflakes the lot of them.
