Unfortunately, the only way to have the protections afforded to us in the constitution is to pay for them. Obviously that leaves only the wealthy and powerful criminals reaping the benefits.
All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

It's almost as if the Enlightenment figures who founded the US had learned the lessons of Europe's wars of religion and created a secular state that would both protect worshippers from political interference, AND protect the polity from becoming dominated by religious sectarians.

The blatant corruption is horrifying. I don’t know what else to say about that.
Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

“National” security means trump security. Make no mistake about it, this administration is creating reasons to cause conflict throughout the world. And we, the American people, are paying for it.

I deleted my X account about a year ago. I don’t miss it and all you’re doing is supporting musk and the rest of the vile monsters running the world.
There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk!
But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law.
It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

And what they will do is focus on whatever files include Democrats. They will brush over all of the Trump stuff and any other high-powered ass kissers. Did anybody expect anything different?
I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?
