    no shit it’s a crime to give money to vote for their party: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597 - 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

    So no money for Medicaid or Medicare, no money for like things that actually fucking matter but when it comes to a mass bribe apparently our economy is doing better than ever, good enough to where 5,000$ to everyone of the republicans win.

    Bromacho may not have had high IQ but he was no fool. Dude had the presence of mind and the self-awareness to find solutions.

    Comacho was representative of the best of those in his times. He should be honored and respected as wise.

          That could still be huge for some people, given how common payday loans can be. 5000 without debt could be enough for someone to find their feet.

      In fact it’s quite the opposite. Terry is a former NFL player who looks like he could break all your bones with a shout, and even he was nervous about backlash but spoke out against unwanted contact after being groped. President Camacho would empty a machine gun into big orange’s face

    Surely everyone can see this is a lie? And if it isn’t, then it’s got to be illegally paying for votes. I can just see the SC ruling - ‘everyone should have known he was lying, so it doesn’t count as corruption’

      It works very similarly to those “Nigerian Prince” scam emails, where most people notice the spelling and grammatical errors and just don’t engage, but the dumbest among us slip through the filter and go right ahead and send that check for $10,000 with the utmost confidence that they’ll be sent back a check for $15,000…

      It’s a clear violation of 18 USC 597: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597

      Couple of interesting things about this: this covers both the supply side and the demand side of the bribe economy; it’s illegal to offer the bribe, and illegal to accept it. Both are punishable for up to 2 years imprisonment per count. So if the US actually were a nation of laws, that would mean approximately 360 million years of prison for the fat orange traitor, and up to 2 years in prison for everybody who votes Republican thinking they’re going to get $5,000 for it.

      Of course, we’re not a nation of laws. Clearly. I mean, Trump has violated the law pretty much every single day (sometimes multiple times per day) that he’s been in office, and nothing negative has happened to him. We’ve all just accepted that our president is a traitor, and that’s just the way things are.
