    amazing that you only have to spend a million dollars for this result. I guess having the tailwinds of American politicans losing their shit over China helps.

      It’s been shocking recently to realize how cheap it actually is to buy off an American politician

      Like with the influence AIPAC has, you’d think they’re throwing around tens of millions, even billions of dollars at candidates. But most of the time it’s like, they gave this house member 5 grand and now he’s Israel’s lapdog for life.

      Like if I got a few friends together we could scrounge up enough money to buy off a politician apparently. It’s baffling.

        Fr. One of my local politicians folded to a slumlord for maybe $1000. Double disrespect.

          Does anything beat the guy who uncapped interest rates for the entire credit card industry in exchange for a few IHOPs?

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
