Boy, American politicians sure are cheap.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Too expensive for ordinary people to buy, but pocket change for billionaires and major corporations.
It's a problem.
That’s always one of the most shocking part of bribery scandals to me. Politicians get caught taking bribes to do something awful and it’s like $6,500. Can’t even get a used Camry for that these days.
Follow the $$$.
Rule 6 says no advocating violence, but honestly how do you respond to people who are literally killing the planet and everyone on it? This is about survival.
The actions needed to solve this problem are also against the law.
Sometimes, rules must be broken for the greater good.
Make bribery illegal
They can do violence to you but don't you even dare think about violence to them. The rule is bad.
Regulatory capture can be yours for some low low payments of 599.99 for just a few months.
Lol what a title....
"Money money money money, bribes, money, bribes. Why this happen!?"
This is not surprising at all whatsoever. These companies want to use the Republican controlled courts to de-fang the Clean Air Act and gut the EPA so their rich donors can continue to dump chemicals and pollute without millions of dollars in fines.
This has been the Republican and Corporate Democrats long term strategy for decades. The Republicans are just not hiding it anymore.
Poisoning the Air is PRO LIFE! Isn't that right OHIO?
Of course they are. SCOTUS ruled Congress and the political parties were for up for sale fourteen years ago with Citizens United and SpeechNow decisions.
Unless that condition changes neither will this trajectory.
Munny
~~Kickbacks~~ ~~bribes~~ campaign donations.
It's disgusting how cheap these whores are.
