It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

That is depressing, but also sounds like an opportunity. I’m willing to pitch in $50K if others want to start an impeachment fund and buy some senators!
I do have to say that it makes me chuckle, a lot, to see these billionaires paying trump millions and millions to get his blessings and favors, and then he turns around and fucks each of them in the ass.
Part by incompetency and stupidity, but also because he knows his position now, he can ask more, and more, and more, and he never had to deliver because what are they going to do?

For sure. Hopefully someone is monitoring the family’s various cryptocurrencies for large purchases

The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.
During the net nuetrality days of 2016, I can remember a list being put out of every senator who voted in favor of dismantling net nuetrality.
And this list showed all known payoffs to each senator.
One senator was bribed $584 total by 4 different ISP giants.
Dog and pony show that concludes with a backroom deal and a slap on the wrist, as always.
They’ll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.
They could just shut down Meta and it would take a week for everyone to adjust.
Don’t tease me.
Coming to do what? Lick some boots?
Nice of them to pretend like they aren’t gonna do a 180 on the whole Biden anti trust stuff.

Yup. Thats what I think this is all about. They didn’t pay orange man enough money up front.
Or he just wants more.
Nothing will happen.

In a perfect world, lead
