It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption”
What are we even doing?

None of this right. Where is the patriotism and pride?
and you have your answer.
That would be a scandal too!
Comer Fudd should be hiding in shame .
Instead of dooming, encourage people to join the fight.
Your opinions are way more powerful than you think.
Let's be clear. In a moral society, this would be a lunatic fringe position.
We are not a moral society. We are a decadent society.
Millions of Americans aren’t corrupt but the one in the WH always has been and now ramping it up.
I’ll bet there will be a full bar for brett.
This “library” claim is SO BOGUS.
Does anyone REALLY believe he’s gonna park a brand new half dollar jet at a tiny, unused library?
It's a bribe!!!!
You should be there now. But you're not.
WHY?
Republicans are getting rid of Medicaid and putting 80 million people at risk, including death.
That's what you all are doing.
The plane is how the al-Thani clan got donnie to turn a blind eye to the #IRGCterrorist clandestine nuclear program.

It's important to do something about this, & talking is an activity.
So let's keep talking about this. Talk talk talk.
they have a list of buzzwords/accounts and a list of bad faith arguments to reply with and it works really well
but that’s like trying to argue in French with that French scrabble champion who doesn’t know any French. it’s not a debate. it’s an anger trap. they want to waste our time and energy, that’s it
E.g. Qataris potentially knowing the exact location of the US President whenever airborne. Possibly privy to private, high level discussions of a national security interest etc etc

And that is also corrupt.
Take any framing or headline and then swap Trump with HR Clinton & you’ll start to see how much they help that man.
Can you imagine the framing of HRC did half of this?

He seems to be using a semantic argument to claim everything is all on the up and up.
(He's a fucking idiot, clearly.)
Creating a "well, is it?" argument anywhere is a distraction.
He has ruined a once respectable party. And for what?
Cuts to Medicaid?
Trojan Horse planes for him?
A billionaire friendly economy that deports kids with cancer?
Trick coins?
Who's got a plan to stop them?
You’re in the middle of chaos and this is the guy who is wanting more chaos!!
But what about security? No doubt they have spying software and/or devices installed (even non-detectable). How does the U.S. know that there's not even worse devices within the walls or elsewhere (such as remotely detonated devices)?
@ericlipton.nytimes.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com Are all eager to step up to Accomplices After The Fact.
But Hunter!
We have the best President that Russian money can buy.
THEY'RE trying to gaslight everyone into fascism
That's pretty much what we're doing
Watching our country be destroyed.
Get that Gatorade ready sir.

"The question here is whether federal-programs bribery under § 666 requires a quid pro quo. We conclude that it does."

Also check that thing for bugs - technological & natural.
Spoiler alert: It’s illegal.
Kai is correct to point out the ludicrous “debate” over the word corruption.

We know it’s a bribe. Bribery defenders are defending bribes
The people who are arguing that it isn't corruption know that it is, but understand denial is a means to an end they seek to achieve.
And all those mean people who don't want the US to have anything "nice."
Obviously corruption.
Is evil, evil or just kind of evil, or just basically less evil?
Fuck.
