Who could have possibly foreseen this level of corruption happening?
I mean, other than anyone with 2 or more brain cells to rub together.
There has always been lots of Corruption in the US (IMHO), but now there is also a feeling of impunity and no shame, so both more Corruption and it being done in more visible ways.
Yeah at least before imwe were placated with "Tsk tsk! How could you? Time to respectfully step down and hang your head in embarrassment!"
Now they just shrug at us and go "LOL do something about it. Dare you. Thought so. LOL."
I mean, I expected corruption. I didn't expect this level of corruption.
On the bright side, that 400m might not be worth much after they're done with the economy. Wait... fuck.
In the future that would be the price of apartment rent per month.
That was naive of you.
Even my orange tabby cat could see it coming.
And it's ORANGE!!
Hehehe I love tabbies. :D
