    For sure. Hopefully someone is monitoring the family’s various cryptocurrencies for large purchases

      It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

        During the net nuetrality days of 2016, I can remember a list being put out of every senator who voted in favor of dismantling net nuetrality.

        And this list showed all known payoffs to each senator.

        One senator was bribed $584 total by 4 different ISP giants.

        That is depressing, but also sounds like an opportunity. I’m willing to pitch in $50K if others want to start an impeachment fund and buy some senators!

          The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.
