      Lobbying is when Democrats do it, Bribery is when Republicans do it.

      Corruption is when Republicans do it, insider trading is when Democrats do it.

      Both accept corporate money to deny any good for the American public that would hurt their bottom line. And then we get fascism because that’s good for the bottom line.

    This is still against established law. He will be sued immediately to stop it, and a federal judge will strike it down. Anyone caught doing this is at risk, and not Trump.

    Lmao if you think it wasn’t already legal for a loooooong ass time, you are out to fucking lunch

    Maybe this legalizes more blatant and obvious methods, sure, we could debate that. But money runs the government, has for a very long time, and if you don’t see that then you have a lot of reading to catch up on
