And then he stiffed them!
When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Donald Trump had an open car door waiting, but his walk toward an empty field gave Secret Service a reason to intervene — and viewers a departure clip to dissect instead of his midterm message. https://atlantablackstar.pulse.ly/1mxqnbpe0x

for reference, in the Dobbs opinion, Alito was like, women generally don't _plan_ to get an abortion, so how could they have a reliance interest in abortion? which is kind of an extension of 'you want health insurance? what, you plan on being sick?'
Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

Agree. Strengthen anticorruption laws, ban stock trading, and pay our reps a living wage that's enough to live in DC and possibly in their home districts, too. It won't be worth it for the grifters, and the ones operating in good faith won't need to cheat to survive.
I know it's counterintuitive but: if we paid members of Congress more, we'd get more higher-quality candidates who didn't feel the need to cut deals with rich people. $174k is really not that much to live in DC with a family. Look at the cost of living.

The Law & Order Party™ strikes again. “In total, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of [Trump’s] administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to immigration cases…”
