[Aglaopheme]

i don't do the twitter... i see lots of posts here using it and either like/whatever the initial post without clicking or go to other sources about the same story. I hate supporting musk's bully pulpit

Understandable.

Understandable.

i was on it before musk, and if he fucks off again i'll probably return.

Don't care which side of the aisle you sit your butt, what gender or skin-tone you wear, corruption is corruption and has to be weeded out for the health of democracy in America. And if these charges are true, as they appear to be, then taking advantage of the poverty-stricken is truly immoral.

Trayon White Sr., a Democrat who ran an unsuccessful mayoral campaign in 2022, was arrested Sunday on a federal bribery charge and released from custody after a brief court appearance Monday. His attorney declined to comment on the allegations against him.

White agreed in June to accept roughly $156,000 in kickbacks and cash payments in exchange for pressuring government agency employees to extend two companies' contracts worth over $5 million, prosecutors said.

Authorities say they have secretly recorded conversations between White and an FBI informant who gave White $35,000 in cash on four occasions between June and August.

"republicans" are confused AND complicit.

Weird.

 

[butters]

it's hard to blame people for trusting in sources they should, in reality, be ABLE to trust... be it news, social media, elected officials and the leaders of their country.

when there's an unwillingness to promote truth and refute lies, with financial/legal repercussions, minds are easily poisoned.

when it gets so bad that 70 court cases proving the 2020 election was fair and the results genuine, it's a long detour to get back onto the right track.

Deepfakes. The only way I beat them is to not believe anything anyone says. I believe in results. Do not fall for bullshit. Know what your enemy really thinks.

On a serious note, he's gone downhill in 7 years.
