Looks like Federalist Society conservatives are desperate to find anything untoward they can pin on liberal SCOTUS justices after revelations of a bribery scandal with Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
Staffers asking college libraries to buy Sotomayer’s books is some weak sauce in comparison.
I know it’s not popular to think this way, but guys, everyone in national politics is a corrupt piece of garbage. Both Democrats and Republicans have made it legal to loan their campaigns money at 20% interest. They’ve also made it legal to commit insider trading and make fortunes off of the classified info they receive due to their positions.
Biden spends more time making sure his piece of shit son stays out of jail than he does making sure there’s food on your table. Donald openly monetized his presidency by vacationing at his own businesses and forcing everyone in his administration to do the same. He even used the Oval Office and Resolute Desk for ads on his twitter feed.
They’re all assholes.
All of them.
All you can do is take the money you’d contribute to their campaigns and put it in your investments instead.
I don’t agree. This is a very South Park perspective. Yes, all politicians engage in bribery, corruption, and double dealing. No, the parties are not morally equivalent.
Biden has protected his son, but he has consistently displayed an eagerness to help people and to pass useful, popular laws that save lives and shift money downward in the economic pyramid.
Trump passed a tax cut for people with private jets and GW Bush killed 300,000 innocent civilians. It’s insane to pretend there’s a moral equivalence here.
Biden withheld $600 of promised COVID aid when Georgia went to the Democrats.
The messaging went from $2000 checks to “Finish the Job” and they pretended that they’d promised to just tack on $1400 dollars instead. They withheld our own money form us.
But they found $100,000,000,000 to send to another country’s war.
So, no. I don’t buy it.
… well, for one thing, your numbers are a little bit off there. The US is sent about $75 billion to Ukraine, not $100 trillion.
The aid check situation sucked, but that was very much a congress problem caused by the most conservative Dems (one of whom has since left the party).
More to the point, I feel confused by your answer: what is it that you don’t buy? You genuinely feel there’s a moral equivalence across all politicians?
