“I’m convinced there are two people Putin pays; Rorabacher and Trump.” - future Speaker of the house Kevin McCarthy in 2016
“Shhh! STFU!” - then-current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan
Until lobbying is eliminated and campaign finance severely overhauled, assume they’re all compromised. It’s just a matter of who they’re bought and paid for.
compromised? JFC, they tried to overthrow the fucking government itself… they’re enemies outright…
Does the person blackmailing them have a name very similar to a popular Canadian dish made with french fries?
I think it’s funny that both Trump and Putin have names that are euphemisms for farting
Btw, I know it’s recognized as a Canadian dish, and Canada likes to flex it, but just wanted to say in passing, it’s a Quebec dish!
At the risk of showing my ignorance, isnt Quebec in Canada?
Currently, but they keep trying.
is it like a texas secession thing or a legitimate thing?
As far as I can tell, somewhere between the two.
well to anyone personally connected to the issue, Im sorry if I treated it lightly
It is but it’s pronounced with an accent.
A bunch of dumb fucks wanted to split a while back, had a referendum that almost passed Brexit style. it’s been pretty moot since but there are a lot of conservative idiots in Quebec, like Texas.
The only key difference is Quebec has the largest power company and a huge hydroelectric power source, so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice…
If your electrical system continues working when it’s both cold and hot, then you’re miles ahead of Texas!
We were born in the cold, molded by it. I didn’t see grass until I was already a man and global warming removed winters completely.
Jokes aside it breaks pretty often because of bad weather, but gets repaired within a few hours.
It’s kind of a Texas situation, except they treat it as more than a political motto.
From my experience they are in Old Orchard Beach
We can tell by the name.
Quebecers becoming Ontarions. That’s fucked. Stop it now.
Unlikely, this is more of the domestic and close ally variety e.g. Epstein’s handlers/killers, or of that same caliber. The kind of people who can waive off, or prevent, an FBI counterintelligence operation from getting in the way…
Bruh. It’s obvious.
US: We could easily destroy Russia in traditional warfare, we have the best weapons, we will never stop fighting them
Russia: Here’s a suitcase full of money
US: Oh, I love those! Never mind, do whatever you want
I read this in Ryan George’s voice.
Producer Guy: “Sounds like destroying a democracy from the inside is going to be incredibly difficult.” Writer Guy: “Actually it’s gonna be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.” Producer Guy: “Oh, really!” Writer Guy: holds up a suitcase full of money
Oh, man. I would love to watch that! Wow wow wow wow wow.
For many of these politicians, based on their actions, they’re compromised, evil, stupid or insane. Quite possibly all the above.
Spit it out then Mr Burchett! Didn’t you take an oath to protect the country?
Only from progress
Given how little money it takes to sway the politicians votes I’m amazed it has taken this long
I’m still all for crowd funding the buying of politicians votes at this point. The politician will think it’s some private benefactor or multinational patrolling them.
some fellow members have been compromised.
You don’t say?!
Well, who are they?
I wonder when Putin will release the videos he has on Trump ;-)
