This is the CEO of JPMorgan Chase being asked why they DIDN'T contribute to Trump's ballroom and the answer is basically that it's a bribe and they don't want to get prosecuted in the future.

    He did note that JPMorgan Chase has contributed funds toward past presidential inaugurations, something that has been “a normal thing that companies did.”

    Folks, if bribary is normal, does that make it OK?

      If it’s legal it couldn’t possibly be wrong!

        It’s perfectly legal for me to shit my pants during a meeting with my boss this afternoon. And because it’s legal, that makes it moral.

        In fact, if my boss doesn’t join me by shitting his own pants, then he’s a fucking commie.

          God dammit you’re a national hero fartographer. Shit with the pride of the nation behind you! Shit so hard that the truth is heard ringing through the bowels of liberty.

            That’s right! I shit red, white, and blue! My doctor keeps acting like this isn’t manifested patriotism, but I think she’s just jealous. -farts the national anthem while coughing up blood-

      Corporations have always contributed to inaugurals. It’s just that Trump took the guard rails off. Obama and Biden limited individual corporation donations.

    OK. Who else was solicited for bribes and didn’t report it?

    Great, how much did they donate to the Trump library (the other open secret way to bribe presidents)?
