People, you are watching the development of another career politician. I don’t care if he’s “your guy” or not, the higher up he goes (or the higher ANY of these bribe-taking slimy “representatives go), the greater the booty and the payoffs.
Congress was NEVER intended to be a career by the Founding Fathers. But Jefferson KNEW it would happen and told us we would eventually need to kill them.
Biden. 47 years in “public service” and he is a multimillionaire with mansions and high end sports cars. On a Senator’s salary!! LOL! You BELIEVE that????
Pelosi. The same.
The list is disgusting.
Thats why rich people spend 50-100 MILLION dollars to get this job. It ain’t “to serve”, unless you mean “serve up We, the People on a platter. They spend it to lock down an unending flow of wealth from kickbacks, bribes, and payoffs.
See the $50,000 (A MONTH!!) in “rent” hunter biden paid his father (which biden never reported on his income tax).
Why don’t YOU try that? I promise to visit you in prison.
Career politicians are modern day versions of highway robbers.
We used to hunt them down and kill them.
Now, we only cheer them on….
