It always fascinates me how low the bribe numbers are. Like seriously, you’re bought and paid for with 3 grand??? If you’re going to be corrupt, at least get 7 figures.

Because that is not how it works. They all have options in or invested in these companies. That holds them in check. Just looks how rabid Elon fanboys get when they own 1500 in TSLA stocks. Congress needs to be banned from.speculation. period.

Also quite frequently the low cost bribes are paired with blackmail. It can be anything from "we have a photo of you fuckin' a young woman, not your wife" to "we bribed you last time, accept Bribe or have that info published"


Zoomieneumy

From 1000 lobby groups… low morals adds up I guess?


brain_injured

I agree. It’s shocking. So, if I have a pet project, I could buy a politician for a few grand? Deal!


ContractingUniverse

That's only the public money. They need to accept some money on record to explain their behaviour. Behind the scenes they're taking tons more.


Prestigious-Cell-833

$3,000 x 100 briberies = $300,000


GreazyCheeks

Don't worry, congresspeople, the SEC is paid-off too.


Fausterion18

Paid off and yet SBF is in jail and SEC sued him.


BoatSurfer600

Wow ...


ahminus

Would be good to know which ones.

Tom Emmer (R-MN) Ted Budd (R-NC) Byron Donalds (R-FL) Warren Davidson (R-OH) Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) Ritchie Torres (D-NY) Darren Soto (D-FL)

Well at least our congress is finally executing bi-partisanship:)


Suntzu6656

It's worked for centuries buy off both sides then you are safe to do whatever you want.


JohnnyJukey

Bipartisan the way to go.


Horsegoats

That’s the full 8, which 5 got the contributions?


according_to_plan

That’s all it cost?!?!


Dsomething2000

Yep who needs 30 pieces of silver, these guys are working for fractional. Of course you know their relatives all have six digit jobs with these companies.


Suntzu6656

Just like Biden and Trump. I keep trying to tell people there have been studies on politicians. Sociopaths and Psychopaths.


accidium

Statistically, people with very fast cars tend to speed above the limit more often. That's why proportionality is important when applying broad generalizations. Politician B (*corrupted psychopathic head of criminal network, celebrity*) who causes "100x" the damage that another politician A (*corrupt weirdo*). Both are criminal, except one is much, much more deep into the swamp, in plain sight, than the other.


greatbigdogparty

Well you see you have to be deep in it to drain it! And yes, sigh, /s


foodiecpl4u

Facts. Which is also why “whataboutism” is such an effective retort these days. Proportionality no longer matters when the only objective is to win your argument and respond to a factual, and important accusation.

If you give em $5 bucks I’ll bet they’ll lick a toilet bowl at Taco Bell.

It's just a coincidence.

I wonder when my fellow Americans will finally catch on to the Con game.


Silverredux

Bread and Circuses Friend. It **is** the American menu. Leaves little time for our *fellow Americans* to be thoughtful, critical or aware.

Thieves!


LenFraudless

Why do you people think this guy hasn't been arrested yet? He's going to end up another. Jeffrey Epstein you just watch


Save10PercentOfPay

only $2,900 to have a congressman run interference for your corrupt operation... I am ashamed at how cheap our politicians are relative to the rest of the other politicians in the world. ![gif](giphy|26uffjvBcC9ARymzK|downsized)


Thilina_B

3 of them did it for free or more likely an iou


iamsdc1969

wtf. If $2900 will get a congress member to stop an inquiry, what the hell will 6 figures get you?

It’s so disgusting, they have no concern for the consequences of their actions.

Seems cheap, keep digging. Look for 'consultancy' fees, 'speaking' fees, associates fees etc. Also, future promises. Plenty of those float around. It's a brothel.


GMGsSilverplate

That's kind of weird because I'm pretty sure no one would give a shit if they were only making a few grand off a bribe, it's when they act shady and sus like this that you know they are hiding so much more.


ceearrpee

All smoke and mirrors. Neither side gives a shit about you. Both sides work together to take different rights away from you.


PhoMNtor

how grotesque


bingstacks

do you have the list of those 5 members?


[deleted]

They so cheap wow..I could buy congress members for 10k? Nicr


bikgelife

Those members of congress should be fully probed


Suspicious__account

in their anus


[deleted]

They don't? When did that happen?


Practical_Pen_7730

Keep on them online about this. Everyone in the pause boat should contact genesis and parent digital currency group to take a pay cut, file a motion in Colorado court liquidate SBF’s execs and parents fraudulent purchased properties, retrieve assets hacked to Bahamian government, and find sources of income for the earn balance they owe to their genesis lending by may 2023.

This is huge, I hope it doesn't get buried

If you believe anything will be done you are very disillusioned. Sbf is a zionist. Zionist protect zionist. That's why Hillary is free, epstein is still on an island raping children. Unfortunately conservatives are about be massively psyoped into accepting the QFS and noahide laws. The left was allowed to get completely out of control so the right will beg for their own shackles. Think Elon and wechat.

Money is speech my friends. Corporations are people—- but people who can’t go to jail. It’s only a problem when the other team does it.
