    Pretty frequent. And this is one of the most obvious ways that bribery occurs. There’s tons that are harder to see.

    I’m pretty sure why Joe Rogan got 200 million from Spotify is because he made a deal with the elites. Everyone was saying that show was not worth that much but now he can see all these politicians and billionaires he has on it and then it answers that question. Everything is rigged. It reminds me of that movie skull and Bones as soon as that one character joined The secret society got $100 million dropped into his account.

    Ugh. Gillibrand is the one that led the charge against Franken.

    She can go fuck herself. Same with her privileged son.

    Ivy League is expensive because students become part of a network. He is now part of the network. What else does he need for a startup?

    No, I’m sure this 22 year old recent grad’s startup is worth $300 million. The kid has a strong track record, what’s not to believe in?

      Exactly… he started life making the right choice of being born rich; then he continued staying alive and ensuring use of privilege for an uninterrupted period of 22 years!

    Then throw her in jail also. We don’t give a fuck. If Dems are corrupt criminals, then they can fuck themselves also. Anyone breaking the law from a position of power should go the fuck to prison.

      I’m rarely going to fight too hard on throwing any of our politicians in jail, but are there any actual concerns on legality going on here?

      Would be nice to see some more regulation here, but this sounds perfectly legal.

        Yes: many of us are concerned (or fucking furious) about the fact that none of this obviously awful bullshit is even illegal.

        Would be nice to see some more regulation here, but this sounds perfectly legal.

        That’s the main problem, yes.
