It's true idiocracy.
(lemmy.zip)
Calling the cops because your dealer ripped you off 🤦♂️
Remember it's not a bribe according to the Supreme Court. It was a preemptive gratuity for getting a pardon.
Now the Vance Catholic connection makes sense.
Indulgences are back on the menu boys!
Yeah doesn't everyone tip their elected officials after they do something they like?
Then we all shouldn't be paying sales tax, it's just a preemtive gratuity for getting goods I guess?
None of that is good, but let’s not forget that a president of the United States is selling pardons AND being more corrupt about it than at its baseline.
As such, anything that documents this crap is not a bad thing. Let the man sue and create a paper trail.
I hope I ever again feel like corruption is seen as universally a bad thing... The trump era broke me.
Goddamn it I hate finding out about news from memes lol.
Between September and January, Burkman and Wohl repeatedly invoked their association with far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer in text messages with Blanco, Boosie’s lawyer. Wohl said that Loomer helped with the Schwartz pardon and that she could help with Boosie’s application. They said they proposed that Loomer ask Natalie Harp, the president’s executive assistant, to physically bring the application to Trump. Burkman and Wohl repeatedly invoked their association with far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer in text messages with Boosie’s lawyer.
Several days after Jan. 1, Blanco asked if Loomer could help, to which Wohl responded that he tried to send the “rapper batch” of pardons “through the black world,” and said Loomer “is the person for the Jewish guys.”
I concur. There's so much stupidity around the globe that it's easy to miss many things.
This presidency is more racist than Andrew Jackson's administration, what were you expecting homie?
Was Nikki Minaj ever successful in getting her green card or her pedo husband pardoned or whatever she was trying to do?
She was trying to get her cousins balls fixed
He's not racist, there's a colored fella in the SCOTUS, oNe Of ThE gOoD oNeS
/S in case it's not obvious enough
At least he's not committing a genoci- wait...
It’s wild that someone looking to circumvent the law with a bribe is trying the use the law to enforce circumventing the law.
After socioeconomic norms have been obliterated we suddenly expect them to function when we want to transact?
And this is why bribable, self-dealing politicians are bad for business in general. While a few mega-conglomerates and billionaires at the top can get political favors (and have recourse when they're not forthcoming) the rest of the businesses are really looking for a clime with consistent laws that are evenly enforced.
The corruption isn't a feature of the system, it's a sickness, and explains why thr antebellum South and the Jim Crow South were underdeveloped compared to its northern counterparts.
The corruption isn't a feature of the system, it's a sickness
The system is a sickness, of which corruption is a symptom.
Seems like admitting bribery to me...
Electrolytes!
