Trump is above the law it doesn't matter. Thank the Supreme Court!

puddlekicker.bsky.social•82 days ago

tRump wasn't the president-elect when he did all that illegal stuff with RFK, so tRump isn't covered by the Supreme Court ruling about Presidents not having to follow the law. But because he's so close to being sworn in, recent illegal BS won't matter. Corrupt bastards. Get older much sooner, tRump.

puddlekicker.bsky.social•82 days ago

In a Hollywood film the hero would swoop in, just in the nick of time after fixing it so tRump couldn't take office. The audience would cheer & go home feeling so good. But this isn't a film & there are no heroes coming to save the day. 😔 It's all up to us & it feels so overwhelming.

That's a nice round number for billable hours.

hgonzalaz.bsky.social•82 days ago

Bribery is a federal crime!

msuinmemphis.bsky.social•82 days ago

And a sitting president can’t be charged. They’ve made him a dictator.

hershovitz.bsky.social•82 days ago

It’s called a bribe.

puddlekicker.bsky.social•82 days ago

And it's illegal--if we're very lucky that rat-bastard will live long enough to be sent to prison. It's so fucking stupid that he got elected by doing all this illegal and unethical stuff & still gets to become president ARGHHHH!!--how does that make ANY sense?! It doesn't, not in any sane world!

tammy524.bsky.social•82 days ago

Musks 258million contribution to trump helping in so many ways.... 😒

msw599.bsky.social•82 days ago

Always follow the money... inch by inch... people better wise up...

purpleaster.bsky.social•82 days ago

And exactly what Justice Dept is going to get to the bottom of this?

newsprintmafia.bsky.social•82 days ago

Everyone has a price I guess

dlsmith.dev•82 days ago

Been waiting to find out what crimes he committed in *this* election. (2016 and 2020 have already been pretty well covered. 2024, surprisingly quiet so far.)

fortboise.org•82 days ago

It's a "gratuity," in our cynically corrupt Roberts court lexicon. And gratuities are A-OK now

katvanzandt.bsky.social•80 days ago

I just can’t even look at Cheryl Hines again. How did she fall for this insane person?

arudick.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hi @crew.bsky.social ☝️

dawgmother.bsky.social•80 days ago

Pay for play is still illegal, last time I checked.

rae14.bsky.social•82 days ago

Greed!! Grift!! It’s endless!

shamanwallace.bsky.social•81 days ago

Love the openness of the quid pro quos. Where are all the journalists?

charredsoul.bsky.social•81 days ago

Are you serious 😂 what a joke.

patbyrnes.bsky.social•82 days ago

RFK Jr. dropping out of the race improved Trump’s chances of winning the election—which would keep this convicted felon out of jail. How is that not a legitimate legal expense?

saintledgewood.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's so cool that nothing matters anymore and fuck everything I guess.

oneofthesurvivors.bsky.social•82 days ago

Well lord Elon gave him 250 million dollars.

seanop.bsky.social•82 days ago

Sorry for being so cynical, but money and favors in politics are like PB&J, two are always together.

ridder.bsky.social•82 days ago

"For services rendered"

romesco-nuts.bsky.social•82 days ago

Why is anyone surprised at this?

outofmanyone.bsky.social•82 days ago

Didn’t SCOTUS say bribes are ok now so long as the bribe is paid later since thats how they themselves make money now?

djscott95.bsky.social•82 days ago

Well I’m sure the Supreme Court will do the right…..

Oh never mind.

msuinmemphis.bsky.social•82 days ago

It doesn’t even matter because he will be a president and can do whatever he wants. Break whatever law he wants. Thanks #scotus

wonky-1138.bsky.social•81 days ago

Shocking, I tell you…that he was bought for so little.

myperspective532.bsky.social•82 days ago

There’s so much corruption that I’ve become numb to it.
I had a MAGA say to me, “well, everyone does it. “ Umm, no. That’s incorrect. Stop justifying really bad behavior.

justkris2.bsky.social•82 days ago

Corrupt em effers.

lisalinkowsky.bsky.social•82 days ago

None of it matters! Rules are no longer in effect.

clay49.bsky.social•82 days ago

RFK Jr bought and paid for by, most likely, Musk!

ohioblues.bsky.social•82 days ago

I knew I had a good reason to cringe every time Cheryl Hines appeared on Curb. I was so happy when they broke up. Always gave me gag vibes and her plastic surgery has gone very awry.

heavyweightlifting.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same!

ewaboy.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's all about the fraud

kurc.bsky.social•81 days ago

President Putin is running things.

20user24.bsky.social•82 days ago

without brainworms - RFK would of pocketed multiples of that payment

lady1000.bsky.social•82 days ago

Money is running everything.

john0111.bsky.social•82 days ago

Corruption everywhere.

aredredrose.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yet another TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED for the job! Just another rich guy to assist the t***p grift!!

flizzer.bsky.social•82 days ago

You’d think they may have investigated this during the election.

puddlekicker.bsky.social•82 days ago

They lie about everything, and they're so good at it because they lie constantly. Practiced evil is difficult to overcome, especially if you believe in being good. Our basic decency is what has been kicking us in our own asses. ☹️

justsayin1960.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's very clear that RFK needs money. This whole conspiracy/anti-vax thing is a grift. Running for prez.. another grift. All legit scientists have disavowed him because he's a crank. It's all about $$.

desi1950.bsky.social•82 days ago

So this was payment for RFK drop out because he was siphoning votes from Trump. Fucking corrupt lowlifes

ghess1000.bsky.social•82 days ago

That and a cabinet position

vixenreclaim.bsky.social•82 days ago

gram2maine.bsky.social•80 days ago

It's all corrupt.

kraigpeck.bsky.social•82 days ago

Everything is transactional for Trump. We've watched him for 4 years as President. His only ideology is "ME." He buys loyalty with $ and fear, all for the ultimate purpose of enriching himself.

eusupport.bsky.social•82 days ago

Working on his next impeachment. Too bad Congress won't actually punish him.

spqesq.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's all so pathetic and stupid.

meshuggeknitter.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yup, pay to play.

kypros-47.bsky.social•82 days ago

Interesting.

bkelsey91.bsky.social•82 days ago

The "Supreme Court" says this is OK as long as you're a Republican

nymhartist.bsky.social•82 days ago

Deals. Deals. Deals. Jimmy Carter had a peanut farm

ghess1000.bsky.social•82 days ago

You mean there was corruption? Knock me down with a feather

birdgirl444.bsky.social•82 days ago

$100k and a cabinet post is his price

oldfolkswhisper.bsky.social•82 days ago

quid pro quo methinks?

mat111.bsky.social•82 days ago

Is that even legal?

1crabtasticbroad.bsky.social•81 days ago

How is that not a pay-out in the eyes of legal terms?

afterthetrumping.bsky.social•82 days ago

So what? A claim of immunity will confuse a dozen courts for years

sophie667.bsky.social•82 days ago

Seems like the definition of "opponent" in some camps now means "paid ally."

jimboworld.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's all about money, not the American people. People who couldn't get a job selling shoes because they are so soulless and lazy, they grift off of the American people. GOOD JOB stupid Americans!

tracyg9273.bsky.social•81 days ago

Sounds pretty corrupt. But what are we gonna do about it? Amiright?

gigismile.bsky.social•82 days ago

Doesn't anyone have to disclose what that was for?

rjc1084.bsky.social•82 days ago

This is the kind of stuff that happens when accountability is never served.

sarahsecondchance.bsky.social•82 days ago

I thought he was a virologist and scientist

scout5.bsky.social•82 days ago

Corruption at its finest strikes again 🤦‍♀️

eck6.bsky.social•81 days ago

SUCCESS MAN!

snowflakeelitist.bsky.social•82 days ago

What is the official explanation for the payment? Did they even bother coming up with one?

griffonc.bsky.social•81 days ago

I’m just surprised they paid anyone!

Surely was not tRumps idea.

ellilanderson.bsky.social•82 days ago

You can pull it off if you’re riding the Trump train since rules don’t apply in that world.

aredredrose.bsky.social•80 days ago

All you need is $$$ !

kkmoxa.bsky.social•82 days ago

aka A Bribe

msuinmemphis.bsky.social•82 days ago

This is unamerican. MAGA will be like “ you’re just mad you didn’t think of it first— keep getting owned libs”

The constitution is supposed to be our safety net and the Supreme Court has torn it apart #trump #constitution
