    Rod Blagoyovich went to jail for shit like this. But since it’s a republican I guess that’s okay.

    Why would a billionaire limit himself to only one vote if he gets elected instead of buying all the votes he needs and not even having to bother. Seems like a waste of time and money.

    In a functioning system, only the former would be an option, but this is America. We already know that buying American politicians is pretty cheap.

      Wouldn’t you want to also be on your own jury?

      Direct and financial influence trumps merely financial influence. It could save the billionaire class millions in donations and bribes.

      Look what it’s done for Trump.

      They are starting to actually believe that people are rewarded in this life for piousness by being rich. So they have actually started to believe that narcissistic lack of empathy is god like because that makes you rich. They think they are the best people because they are rich.

        “The love of money is the root of all evil”

        So they threw that out the window, along with the ten commandments they love to emblazon on things, and the examples Jesus set for them. These are the foundations of being a good GOP Christian.
