Surely the punishment will be of equal or greater value than the crime committed. /s

What corruption? My reliable and unbiased news diet of Fox, Newsmax, and InfoWars have never mentioned anything about GOP corruption. Only democrats are corrupt because republicans and physically incapable of doing anything bad, on account of how much we love America!!!1

My (solidly blue) home state gets shit on since we’ve had multiple politicians *arrested, charged, and convicted" for corruption.

… yeah, we actually investigate corruption and send people to prison for it.

I mean, if you got something about a democrat, it’s not like we’re going anywhere.

It’s not like we don’t know about Nancy Polosi’s insider trading.

I am not going to defend crime when it happens. I also certainly will not protect stupid crimes either. So don’t pretend that there is some invisible barrier from sharing your side. If you got something, we are listing, but you are going to have to shout really hard over…

My problem isn’t that there is a fox in the hen house, my problem is there is a MAGA bear in the cabin.
