What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Jimmy Carter in 2015 on the role of money in American politics: "It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery."

Spot on.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

• Trying to overturn elections
• Retaliating against whistleblowers
• Abusing public office for political theater
• Dodging subpoenas
• Embracing election denialism & extremism

From publicly demanding that Pam Bondi go after his political enemies to the reported decision to close a Tom Homan bribery case, the Justice Department is basically Donald Trump's personal law firm now.

3/ This is risky. Government contractors are banned from making political contributions.

For the company to offer donations to Collins in exchange for an official action, or for Collins to accept, would constitute criminal bribery.

Is Donald Trump's ballroom really a pay-to-play scheme to score political favors?

This looks like bribery in plain sight. My new bill will put an end to it.

The NY Times WITNESSED BRIBERY in the mayor’s race and called it “ a bold departure from political norms.”

What, and I can’t stress this enough, the fucking fuck are you fucking talking about?

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins.

Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

1/ Remember Fernando Cerimedo? The Trump-linked political operative whose ex-partner Nadia Beller survived being shot 3 times, then began making explosive allegations about bribery,bot farms & political corruption?
There’s an unsurprising update to that story #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Political donations are institutionalized bribery.

Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power.

Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy

13/ By the end of 2024, FBI agents had enough evidence to pursue a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers of both political parties. They asked their supervisors to approve a new investigation.

Then Trump returned to the White House.

Sen. SCHIFF: You’ve refused to answer questions about ethics, the Qatari plane, the Epstein files, Tom Homan’s alleged bribery, political prosecutions, military authorization…

Bondi: *tries interrupting*

Schiff: Excuse me. This is an oversight hearing. We demand answers.

Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty.

His attorney argues his rights are being violated, is being denied fair trial and is being used as political fodder by state and federal agencies using him for photo ops including the NYC Mayor Adams, indicted on federal charges of bribery, fraud, and more.
