    Here in the states taking large bribes just means you are a republican, specifically the president.

      Lets not pretend the republicans are the only millionaires in congress. There’s a reason neither side bans congress from owning stock when they’re in power.

      Gonna have to check you on that one, pal. Bribes are baked into the system in the form of campaign contributions. Special interest money, PAC money, etc., are legal bribes.

      Trump just pardoned Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar this week - he took bribes. Susan Rubio of California was accused it, and it’s understood Newsom turned his head after the PG&E fires…

      Fuck this government. It’s designed for bribery, GOP or Dem.

        I specifically said large bribes, like to build a new wing on their temporary home, not that small bribes are okay. But any politician taking bribes should be held accountable. And PACs should be illegal.
